CNN; DEAN ON NOW!!

[spanone]

[eleny]

1. Terror threat may be politics

Because Bush bases his campaign on terrorism and he is the only person who can get us through this. How much is politics and how much is threat. WOW!

[libbygurl]

2. Fantastic, strong comments by Howard Dean...

...and Blitzer his usual self bending over backwards to give BushCo benefit of the doubt. YAY, Howard!

[Catt03]

3. OMG.......

Dean just added the weekend drama...

The Republicans are going to crucify him. Wait until the next guest...Mark Riacnott (sic), gets on; the sparks are going to fly.

[spanone]

4. dEAN wAS kICKING aSS!

[Eloriel]

5. Dean ALWAYS kicks ass

That's why they had to stop him. :-(

[jpgray]

6. Much better than that fool Biden

Kerry would have been better served with Dean on MTP.

[allemand]

7. counterbalancing the Joementum

Might even be a clever division of labor.

[madfloridian]

8. Other thread, someone said risky. Thread locked....will answer here.

He did not say it was bogus. He was careful with his words. It is time to speak up.

He was outstanding and it had to be said. Perfect answer.

[Raven]

17. I said I thought it was risky.

Regardless of how Dean phrased it. BTW, I'm headed out to canvass this afternoon...it will be interesting to hear what NH people think of this.

[madfloridian]

19. He will get blasted, just like he did for the Saddam remark.

But he is right, we know he is right, and that is important. Sometimes being right is important.

[mzmolly]

23. GOOD ANSWER!

:toast:

[madfloridian]

28. When you are canvassing, don't be apologetic. It was the truth.

If you are apologetic for the truth, then we are in trouble in this country.

[Raven]

33. The truth is

that Bush has politized terror but I don't know whether its true or not that this threat is bogus.

[madfloridian]

34. He did not say it was bogus. He did not say it that way at all.

Did you hear it? He never never said the threat was bogus.

[Raven]

35. I didn't hear it so

I appreciate the information. It will come in handy this afternoon. :-)

[madfloridian]

38. He said the president has said he is the only one who can make us safe.

So he politicized it himself, sort of those words. I can't wait for the transcript.

[spanone]

9. Bush* Does Politicize the War. Dean is Right To Bring It Up!

Mark Raciot is a dick.

[madfloridian]

10. It was outstanding.

Thumbs up to Dean.

[Joanne98]

11. You can't trust Republicans with your money.

My favorite line. A counter-balance to the always traitorious Joe Lieberman. DINO

[onehandle]

12. Sheesh!

Wolf: Terror! Terror! Terror!
Dean: Bush is playing politics with terror with no specifics.
(Wolf plays a Bush rally lie)
Dean: This is why the American People don't trust Bush.

Wolf dismisses him, then goes on to read the additional 3x5 cards assigned to him by General Rove, and gets all excited that Republican operatives are coming up next.

Then CNN plays a commercial advertising Bush's CNN bio. It says something like, "The Man, The President". Kerry's bio was advertised, "Who is John Kerry?" like he's a caught serial killer or something.

[spanone]

13. Wolf has qouted the POLLS about a dozen times. No Bounce For Kerry

He keeps repeating this over and over. Fair & Balance should be the CNN moto.

[JNelson6563]

14. Dean still kicking Pug ass!

:toast:

Rock on Doc!

[Bake]

15. Howard was FABULOUS!

He sounded reasonable, sane, serious, and spoke the DAMN TRUTH!! You GO, Howard!

His message needs to be repeated EVERY DAMN DAY UNTIL NOV. 2!!!

Bake

[Bake]

16. Racicot: "To even suggest that anyone would do that ..."

That's how the Pukes work: they do something outrageous, something beyond the pale, and then get all self-righteous -- "Why, to even suggest that anyone would do such a thing is ridiculous."

Fuckers.

Bake

[umtalal]

20. I think he was on the defensive. In my opinion that is a good thing.

[mzmolly]

30. "He sounded reasonable, sane, serious, and spoke the DAMN TRUTH!!"

Which is why I supported him. ;)

[madfloridian]

18. I am glad he has the courage to be the first to say something.

Something that really needs saying, that everyone is saying under their breaths, but afraid to say in public.

Good for you, Howard Dean.

[mzmolly]

21. Shit! I missed it! Is it on again?

:(

[madfloridian]

22. Again, he may be "right too soon." But he is right. I salute him.

Now that he has said it, others will start experimenting with it. It will take wings, and he will take the brunt of the criticism. Then others can say it as well, and not get blasted as much.

[Shopaholic]

25. Dean is the ideal Democratic attack dog

he's perfect. He was laughing at Wolfie while woof-boy was just about to cry. Too funny.

[mzmolly]

26. I know Dean will go down in history as very instrumental in defeating

Bush and changing politics as we *knew* it.

Though all we have to do now is WIN. :hi:

[kerry-is-my-prez]

24. Byrd is on now

n/t

[Anwen]

27. Damn, I just missed it!

:(

Maybe there will be a repeat later?

[madfloridian]

29. I have a feeling it will be very repeated....probably in clips.

It was powerful.

[janx]

31. Dean wasn't very happy about it.

I have a feeling he doesn't like the American people being treated this way.

[mzmolly]

37. I have a feeling your right Janx.

Still SO THANKFUL for Howard Dean.

[mzmolly]

36. I hope so, cause I missed it.

:cry:

[madfloridian]

32. I think we just saw an important thing happen.

I think a door was just opened. I think we have all been needing to hear it said out loud in public, and we should not let the door be closed by more fear.

He said it sensibly and clearly, did not accuse, was quite clear he was putting the burden on Bush.

[artr2]

39. So WTF did he say ??

I just got home - I missed it - What did he say?

[madfloridian]

40. He said everything we have been talking about here.

The fear, the way the alerts come at certain times, it was rapid fire. I taped it but will have to wait for the transcript for exact words.

CNN sometimes puts up videos. He did say Bush politicized it himself, by basing his campaign on keeping us safe.

[ItsMyParty]

41. Wasn't that super -- on two levels!!

One, we have to start speaking up just that "direct" way rather than the usual hair twisiting, thumbsucking, double speaking, not wanting to say anything outloud approach of most Dem talking heads. Second, it unglued Wolfe who is used to playing to hair twisting, thumbsucking, double speaking Democrats. You can't kill these whores unless you actually use bullets in the gun!!!!!!

[janx]

42. Ridge just added a campaign booster for * in his "terror alert"

press conference!

[madfloridian]

43. Unbelievable that he did that.

Remember when Dean said we could not afford to be nice anymore. Well,guess what.
