Help me compile a list of "crazy" Howard Dean quotes.
You know, the things that were repeated over and over to smear him as "out of line" and "insane" last year...yet now are all seeming pretty sensible.

I'll start:

"Tom DeLay ought to go back to Houston so he can serve his jail sentence."

3. "dealing with race is about educating white folks."
After Katrina and Bennett, who could disagree with this "crazy" quote?

5. Good call.
And isn't it funny how all the neocons are bellowing about the "context" of Bill Bennett's racism, yet none of them cared too much about the context of the post-Iowa pep rally and having to scream over hundreds of supporters.

7. It's inappropriate for a presidential candidate to say what
penalty someone should get before trial, even if they are extremely likely to be found guilty, as Usamaa bin Laden is.

(When asked if UBL should get the death penaly.)

8. "agenda of the consersative Christians."
This part of his quote about Republicans being white Christians never got played or heard. It is the important part. The media never quoted that part at all, and right wing did not want to let that part out. That is what he means when he says that quote part of what he says.

"They have the agenda of the conservative Christians...the Republicans don't include people. Look, they are outside the mainstream."

9. Dean's Confederate Flag flap
here's what he said at the DNC Winter meeting in 2003, and got a standing ovation for with minorities in the audience -

"I intend to talk about race during this election in the South because the Republicans have been talking about it since 1968 in order to divide us. And I'm going to bring us together. Because you know what? You know what? White folks in the South who drive pickup trucks with Confederate flag decals in the back ought to be voting with us and not them, because their kids don't have health insurance either and their kids need better schools too."

However, he got grief over it for saying an abbreviated version of it in an interview, in Iowa, I think.
