Dean is taking grassroots to a whole new level: "Team Dean Racing". In the words of Tim Blair, it's "the only race vehicle in the world actually designed to spin."
I recently received an email (too long to show here) from a reader of my blog criticizing me from calling Dean a socialist. He gave Dean's “goal of diversifying our media” as an example of his non-socialist, pro-American stance and “one of the main reasons I will support him in this year's election.”
Well hell, if Dean can claim that Bush is a Fascist, that the world isn’t safer without Saddam, and “diversifying” the media is pro-American, then maybe he deservers my “support:”
As I recall, both Stalin and Hitler made “diversifying the media” major goals of their rule shortly after their gained power.
No kidding. The ignorance surrounding Dean and his stance on issues (esp economics) is astounding. How can one possibly perceive his desire to "break up the Fox news network" as pro-American?! Not only does the AMERICAN constitution disallow congress from blocking commerce, but AMERICA was built on the AMERICAN ideals of progress, individualism, and achievement. Is Dean what we are calling AMERICAN these days? Its enough to make me want to move to France...ok, maybe not quite enough.
