Where Is The Top Level GOP Dean Bashing?
Howard Dean's weekly rants are becoming legendary...if you know where to find them. The right side of the blogosphere is all over Dean and his hysterics (see AnkleBitingPundits, Hugh Hewitt, Powerline, for instance) but Republican officials are silent. If the kind of verbal vomit that Dean spews came out of GOP leaders' mouths, the Democrats would have the press ready the next morning for the pepetrator's canned apology. Here's a small sample of Dean's comments from this week's Take Back America 2005: The Conference For America's Future:
"You think people can work all day and then pick up their kids at child care or wherever and get home and still manage to sandwich in an eight-hour vote? Well Republicans, I guess can do that. Because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives."
"The Republicans are all about suppressing votes."
"We've suffered a couple of serious defeats. But we're energized. because we know that our vision for America is much better than the dark, difficult and dishonest vision of the Republican party offers America."
Jackson's Junction has the video.
Isn't it time for Republicans to fight fire with fire and call Dean and the Democrats on their hate-filled speeches? Taking the high road while your opponent is attacking with low blows does not work when the media won't give you credit for doing so. My only consolation is the thought that maybe the GOP is smarter than I think and is letting Dean rant away, knowing full well that Dean isn't winning any new Dem recruits and that the Michael Moore crowd who attends his speeches can not be swayed anyway. Furthermore, as Michelle Malkin points out, Dean isn't breaking any fundraising records with his rhetoric.
Go ahead, Howie. Take all the rope you need.
