Onward Christian Soldiers.....

I just cannot get enough of that DNC chairman Howard Dean, can you?

From the SFC via PW:

"Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, unapologetic in the face of recent criticism that he has been too tough on his political opposition, said in San Francisco this week that "Republicans all behave the same, and they all look the same. ... It's pretty much a white Christian party. We are more welcoming to different folks, because that's the kind of people we are," Dean said Monday, responding to a question about diversity during a forum with minority leaders and journalists.
"You know, the Republicans are not very friendly to different kinds of people. They are a pretty monolithic party. Pretty much, they all behave the same, and they all look the same. ... It's pretty much a white Christian party," the former Vermont governor told a San Francisco roundtable Monday in reaction to a question about the lack of outreach to minority communities by political parties.
[...] After the story of Dean's comments broke on SFGate.com, The Chronicle Web site, on Tuesday and was picked up by the Drudge Report, DNC spokesman Josh Earnest scrambled to soften the impact of Dean's comments. While acknowledging that Dean was quoted accurately, Earnest insisted that once again Dean meant to say "Republican leadership." "We need a Democratic National Committee that is convincing white Republican Christians that they should be voting for us not vilifying them," said key Democratic party fund-raiser Wade Randlett, who supported Dean for the chairmanship. He got himself in trouble with social commentary and that's not what the DNC chair does."


Oh yeah, the Republican leadership! Right....which is sooooo unlike the Democrat leadership. Well, because there is Harry Reid and he is...oh wait. Ok, there is Dean himself and he is...oh nevermind. WAIT! Their favorite set of Democrats are Hillary and Bill and they are........OMG! White and Christian too!!! No. NO! Give me a minute...ummm.... Ted Kennedy? Damn. Ummm, let's see...Al Gore!....Oh geeze, a Babtist even! *Thinking...thinking....John Kerry and John Edwards!!!! ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
