after his SCREAM, dean sounded whimpy tonight....towed down

[diamond14]

by media criticism...he bowed to the media....really surprised me that dean is that yellow...

[not systems]

1. Um... I thought it was great!

Who do you support now?

Lets have a little truth in bashing.

Thanks.

3. started an earlier, rather tasteless join the Kerry campaign thread

eom

2. That would be *toned* down, not 'towed' down. n/t

[alcuno]

4. Disingenuous post.

You just wish that Kerry had that spark that Dean has. Oh wait. I think I hear John starting another sentence with the words, "I believe..." He reminds me of a tape recorder.

[creativelcro]

5. LOL: Now the media are gonna accuse him of being bland....

Luckily, nobody can beat kerry on that side...

[PVnRT]

6. Whatever...

I'm sure you were among the cacophany of others who were bemoaning how his scream "alineated" people and "scared" people.

If you have something of substance to post, do it. Otherwise quit wasting bandwidth.

7. Oh I thought he was great!

I got kind of tired though,waiting for the clapping and yelling to stop before he gave his speech. He is loved by a lot of people.GO DEAN!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

8. Not to my ear. He sounded great. Great speech.

Thumbs up Gov.

9. Damned if you do, damned if you don't

So if he came across with passion and vigor again, he'd be nuts, right? I saw plenty of Dean speeches with just as much passion as the one in Iowa, but without the media spin involved. Many of us like Dean because of it. Besides, his speech tonight was incredible too and I've seen more toned downed speeches similar to this one. Nothing changed in my opinion.

10. Ahhh, the voice of unity.

I'm encouraged now.

[ibegurpard]

11. LOL

Rather ironic, isn't it?

[HuckleB]

12. You gotta be kidding. That speech was AWESOME! Best of the night!

[Myra]

16. Every one of Dean's speeches this week as been awesome.

He's hitting the notes I've long been wanting him to hit.
Solutions! Policies. Optimism. While continuing to pound
on Der Furher, unlike the inside pols.

Dean/Clark/Kucinich/Sharpton gotta keep pounding on Bush.
The standard insiders won't.

[Melodybe]

13. The scream was a myth any way.

This is total bull shit Kerry is not a working man's hero!

Most soldiers don't get their own camera crew!

14. Well make up your mind!!!

If he is enthusiastic and exuberant with his following, you are critical. If he is direct and calm, he is "bowing" to the media.
Some of the people on this board have jumped on the corporate media whore train and have decided that nothing he says or does will ever satisfy you, the thing is, Dean knows this and doesn't pander to you, and it drives you crazy.

[democratreformed]

15. He sounded pretty damned good to me too. n/t

[mzmolly]

17. I could swear you just called for unity? With this kind of grace you

wont get real far. :hi: You *must* fear Dean? :scared:
