Democrats blast Bush on civil rights at Arab American conferencePosted on Sunday October 28, 2007
Speaking to an Arab American audience in Detroit, Democratic leader Howard Dean slammed those who divide the U.S. by scapegoating Americans with Middle Eastern ancestry.
“You have been singled out unfairly and unjustly … by politicians who hope to have a cheap electoral trick.” Dean, chair of the Democratic National Committee, said today.
Dean spoke to a crowd on the last day of the Arab American Institute’s National Leadership Conference, which has drawn Arab Americans and politicos from across the U.S., including several Presidential candidates. In his speech, Dean cited successful Arab Americans such as former U.S. Sen. Majority Leader George Mitchell and Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
“It is important for us to stand and recognize these leaders at a time when this community is under siege by those who would divide America in order to win elections,” Dean said.
