freepers pounding Dean's wife...over her looks

[private_ryan]

have you seen the freeper pictures? The ugliest bunch of people I've ever seen...

"Last night, Matt Drudge stated that he was tempted to divulge some news about Mrs. Howard Dean, but would leave the story for now and break it after the Holidays. He mentioned that she has yet to be seen at any public appearance for Howard Dean, and raised the question as to "Where is Mrs. Dean, and why is she staying out of sight?""

the way I read this is that drudge might say that they're separated or something similar since they're not campaigning together. Facts never prevented him before from putting the siren up.

1. Jealous Freepers.

Those damn Freepers can't talk about anything intelligent.

Okay
-----
Wish someone would have copied their comments..remember they were being sued for the same and would show they're still continuing their insaneness. They'd love to see their comments posted on DU especially since they tried to hide their remarks. Hold them accountable.

2. At least she doesn't look like a chimp.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Like the fact taht she is

a working MD?

[silverweb]

4. They're disgusting.

I hope Judy can ignore these repulsive people.

[barbaraann]

5. Laura Bush KILLED someone.

Judy Dean is a DOCTOR who has probably saved hundreds of lives and healed thousands.

18. The truth about pickles taking out her fiance.

6. "she has yet to be seen at any public appearance"

Dean's wife and daughter shared center stage with him at the end of his announcement speech in Burlington.

PS - thanks for bringing this filth here. :eyes: If I wanted to hang with freepers, I'd be at FR.

[ryharrin]

17. Yup, I was there!

What a great day.

[dajabr]

23. Great day and...

What a speech!

:hi:

[PartyPooper]

7. I wish they would leave Dr. Dean's wife (another Dr. Dean) alone!

She is a physician and a very private person. Leave her be!

And, btw, she has been at some of Howard's public appearances! But, she has chosen not to publicly campaign for her husband. Give her a break!


:kick:

[Clark Can WIN]

35. You wish they would leave Dr. Dean alone?????????????/

I wish I'd hit the lotto too, and my parents lived comfortably to 200, and I was really rich, and tall. Oooooohhhhhhhh could we through in world peace too?

[blondeatlast]

48. You've NEVER had an ugly thought about Pickles or Babs?

It's an honor to meet you, God.

[Demobrat]

8. Mrs. Dean is at work

and she is staying out of sight because she has a job to do and a son at home. What a bunch of desperate poop.

[Malva Zebrina]

9. Here they go

anyone who runs against the vindictive, frat coward, will be subjected to unceasing harrassment. In this case, now, it is Judith Steinberg Dean an MD, and obviously a woman who know who she is and has intelligence and actually does like her job and her career. And now--well that is just simly too, too arrogant for a woman to have a career amd actualy prefer that to being involved in a presidential campaign.

She did appear with Dean once, wearing a nice red suit that looked good on her. And, what of the other wives? Where is Mrs. Gebhardt, or Mrs. Clark, or Mrs. Kuchinich? Where is Mrs. Lieberman--? I have not seen one of them in the spotlight/

This is an attempt to smear Judith Steinberg Dean. I hope she is made out of tough fabric--as tough as Hillary's.

[DemBones DemBones]

34. Dennis Kucinich is divorced; his daughter has appeared

with him in Cleveland -- she's 19 or 20, I think.

I've seen pictures of Mrs. Clark with her husband but I haven't seen Mrs. Gephardt since the summer or Mrs. Leiberman since 2000.

[blondeatlast]

49. And Pickles--First Lady is no job for anyone who is soft.

People, people--go ahead and whine about them if you've NEVER targeted the Opposition wives and family, but if you have, ZIP IT.

[11 Bravo]

10. Like I needed another reason to hate freepers.

n/t

[ant]

11. they're just scared and confused

The idea of a smart, successful woman who isn't attached to her husband like some needy little stepford thing is bizarre to them. Clearly her independence reflects something deeply wrong with either her or the marriage. :eyes:

[billbuckhead]

12. I've seen Mrs Clark, in fact she's pretty visible. Mrs Kucinich?

Like it or not, Dean's marriage plays into the stereotype of Dean and Vermont being too liberal for America's red states.

[last1standing]

25. You're right!

Either she needs to quit her job and get back in the kitchen or we need a different candidate. /sarcasm.

I'm getting really tired of certain posters who seem to want us to adopt every repub speaking point.

[spooky3]

13. they are pathetic.

[Catch22Dem]

14. Ya know, I gotta admit

This is the first FR (the first link listed...didn't look at the 2nd) thread where I actually saw some sane posters. I would say a majority (65%) said to lay off of her. There were a couple of insane posts, but for the most part, not tooooooo terrible. Mostly just nasty comments about her looks and some speculation she performed abortions. :eyes:.

I found this a little strange though.
"I don't think personal assaults on this womans looks are in order at all.

It's just plain DU like to malign the woman based on a few photos.

WTF???

[lumpy]

39. Laura Bush has been relentlessly

maligned by many DUers.

[OldSoldier]

51. With two good reasons

First, the RW relentlessly maligned Hillary Clinton. It's payback time.

And second, Laura Bush looks like trailer park trash. A woman with an $8 haircut, makeup she bought at Piggly Wiggly and clothing cut out of upholstery fabric (or worse, polyester doubleknit) is representing our nation.

[lumpy]

54. Bess Truman was maligned

in the same manner. She was considered a homely frump and certainly not considered a fashion plate. The maligning of Bess Truman didn't affect Truman's presidency, so why bother.

[mot78]

15. This sounds anti-Semetic against Judy Steinberg

To: TommyDale
Maybe she too has found Jesus.

Maybe I'm using it out of context though, because the post that this Freeper was responding to had nothing to do with her religion.

[mmm]

16. I have never seen her

is there some reason I should be looking at her

[zulchzulu]

19. Although Dean has attacked Kerry's wife, this is despicable

Dean has mentioned Kerry's wife in a number of jabs about her wealth. Granted, this is only one of many reasons I completely have no respect for the guy.

Attacking anyone's wife in politics is usually left to the knuckle draggers on the Right. I like and respect Judy Dean for her position and her privacy.

[babzilla]

20. link?

this I gotta hear. Especially since it has resulted in your complete no respect for the guy.

[zulchzulu]

28. Great Slate article about Dean attacking while he wants attacks to stop

From the article:

But just before the availability ends, we get a flash of the old Dean, when he responds to a question about Kerry's criticism of his impending decision to turn down public financing for the campaign. Minutes after criticizing Kerry for personal attacks, Dean decides it's fair game to bring up Kerry's wife. It sounds like an implicit shot at Kerry's manhood for needing his wife's ketchup money in order to compete in New Hampshire:

"I would argue that Sen. Kerry has a very narrow place to stand on this issue, because if we opt out, we will raise money in small donations, which is exactly how campaign finance reform is supposed to work. He clearly does not have that financing capability. If he opts out, he will have a large check from himself, or his wife, to run the campaign. That's very different from what I'm talking about."

Dean of course knows that THK can't contribute to the campaign, but he just can't help himself. The little twerp.

36. notice the silence? eom

[zeemike]

43. How is mentioning his wife an attack?

Get real people. If those are the rules then even saying he has a wife is an attack.

[KaraokeKarlton]

22. Please provide a link to prove Dean said anything about Kerry's wife

I don't believe you. If you're going to make that kind of claim I want to see some hard facts.

[zulchzulu]

29. Anything I say about Dean...I can back it up

Check the thread above...

I'd like to like Dean, but the more I look at him and what he says, the worse it gets.

[blondeatlast]

50. How do you feel about Pickles? Please--we aren't saints here . . .

[liberalpress]

53. I am uncomforable about attacking...

... any candidates family. They aren't runnig. Their famiiy member is. I refuse to participate and those that do should be ashamed.

[Turkw]

21. Attacking the personal family is a big RW tactic, Rove must be proud

Very disgusting, but makes me much more sympathetic to Howard. Nothing like cheap shot to highlight who the real enemy is. I disagree with HD, I still respect him. I disagree with Drudge, I loath and find him contemptable.

[Ramsey]

24. That's Dr. Dean to you

Pathetic losers

[exclark4dean]

26. They hate her because she's not a Stepford Wife like Pickles

[Stuckinthebush]

27. Sick and sophomoric...but...

we have our share of DUers who like to slam Laura Bush on her looks as well. Either way, it is despicable.

[shance]

30. I agree.

Its cheap, unwarranted and mean.

This wasnt their calling. It was their husbands.

[Brian_Expat]

31. I saw pictures from a Freeper cruise once

And despite the cracked camera lens blocking a lot of the detail out, I still couldn't eat for a week! :puke:

[rumguy]

32. lol...I agree

the pics I've seen of freeps are just gross...some of those people are sub-human...

[Clark Can WIN]

33. They are sick BUT

some have done the same here to Laura Bush, and I put them in the same catagory. Reprehensible on BOTH sides.

[blondeatlast]

47. Indeed. We including me) are in no position to point fingers.

[tishaLA]

37. Odd. They seem to have pulled the thread!

eom

[Piperay]

38. Like any of them

are any judges of who is attractive and who isn't. :wtf:

[RebelOne]

40. Got the message that this thread has been pulled.

Guess they got the message that we were reading it.

[jsw_81]

45. I'm surprised they pulled it

The freepers had several Judy bashing threads earlier this year, and as far as I know none were pulled.

[Loonman]

41. Freepers are scum

Wastes of oxygen.

[Indiana Democrat]

42. There is not excuse for this...

...There is NO reason to bash Gov. Dean's wife. It's uncalled for and unsavory.

But unfortunately, the same thing happens here to the Idiot in Cheif's wife.

Those who partake in this kind of thing are the lowest of the low...And I don't care WHO they support or HOW they vote.

[jsw_81]

44. Republicans are afraid of her

Judy Dean is a brilliant, well-educated professional who won't be content to bake cookies and smile for the cameras. Many people in the so-called red states feel threatened by these kinds of women. Just look at what they have done to Senator Clinton!

[blondeatlast]

46. Listen, we've been pretty brutal to Laura Bush (I'm guilty, too).

And the twins. And Babs. It's mean, it's ugly, it's politics.

I'm not defending them by any means, but we can't say we are above them in this regard.

Either the family is off limits in your mind or they aren't. There are no in-betweens.

[Cleita]

55. Yeah, me too, but it's sure fun picking on Bush Steppford wives.

eom.

[drfemoe]

56. Both of your links to Freep Republic now

point back to this thread.

[Selwynn]

57. They pulled the thread
