Howard Dean has decried the sexist treatment of Hillary Clinton during her campaign, and he has called for a national discussion of the issue of sexism. Why didn't Dean say anything about these unfair attacks during her campaign? Get this:
...he was slow to pick up on charges of sexism because he is not a regular viewer of cable television
Is it too much to ask that the chairman of the Democratic party
follow the news? That he listen to the loudly-expressed concerns of
half the Democratic party? As our friend
Becki Jayne notes:
Convenient timing. After Hillary suspended her campaign, after years of abuse. Thanks for insulting the intelligence of millions of Clinton Democrats, women, and men who love women with a blockheaded, cockapootie, lame to the 10th power, contemptuous excuse. Between the Democratic party and the GOP, voters have a choice between stealthy corruption and in-your-face corruption. What a world!
I certainly applaud her parting shot:
If Obama losing in November means Howard Dean and the new--we don't need no steenking working class--coalition pushers will exit the DNC, the incentive to reject the party's Anointed One just multiplied.
I can't believe that I once admired Dean. But Obamamania has caused me to reassess my feelings toward a whole bunch of people.

JOSEPH: WHAT IS YOUR OPINON OF THIS
Taylor Marsh and FDL (as you probably know) are petitioning the National Press Club to stop Larry Sinclair from speaking. Any time (so called) Democrats attempt to intervene in "free speech" it certainly gets my attention. If Sinclair is as "insane" as they project then what's the worry?
If you have not wandered around Sinclairs site you may be in for some interesting reading.

Apparetnly the NPL thinks so as well.
<>_<> HIDE AND SEE
My take on Larry Sinclair? Well. I should have thought that it would be obvious.
2+2=Richard Basehart.
Now give me a TOUGH question.
ALRIGHTY THEN ANSWER THIS ONE
How long does it take a one legged monkey to kick the seeds out of a pomegranate?
Oh..I'm sorry. You're time is up. Would you like to pick a vowel or spin again?
BTW: there is more to the LS story than you think as I always say:
<>_<> HIDE AND SEE
More? Like what?
The theoretical "more" is clearly implied by a) The National Press Clubs invitation. b) Taylor Marsh/FDL et al attempt to stop it. c)The curious coherence of Sinclairs website (I expected a jabbering jagoff smearing his feces on the walls) d) Growing support from others who have yet to smear feces in public.
Frankly when you juxtapose the two there is more here than the "whitey tape" that has yet to be produced but has received attention ad nauseum.
or...never mind
I'm not even going to touch the LS thing. But back to Howard Dean . . . his excuse is just ludicrous. I know many, many women who called the DNC constantly about this very subject and left long messages for Howard Dean. I would bet he also received hundreds of emails. I know I sent them to him on probably a weekly basis. So this is just total B.S. And making excuses just makes him look like the out of touch idiot that he is proving to be. He must be the only one in America who didn't notice.
I figure the chances that Larry Sinclair is a complete and utter crackpot are 99.99849989+++%.
But even crackpots have the right to free speech.
Bush goes to Europe to try to sell his "We Need to Attack Iran" bit.
Fat face drops dead. Oil goes over $4.00 a gallon. McSame keeps acting confused.... and all I get is what "Sleazy" Taylor Marsh thinks or says?
Truly, I abhor the debts of irrelevance!
The question is, Why is Howard Dean lying? I'd like to see him try that one while under oath and subject to perjury charges in a court of law.
What's he up to? And how long has he been up to it?
To me, his family background is not irrelevant (financiers, not small time), nor is the name George Soros. I think he's being influenced, used or controlled; through what channels or by whom, I can't see, but I believe if more people were addressing the WHY of this, we'd be moving in the right direction.
Why is he a major personality in the forefront of stopping Senator Hillary Clinton, the only candidate who might employ FDR-type solutions to the mess the USA and the world is in? The only candidate who is standing up for the "lower 80 percentile" of the economic status. The only candidate who is at all likely to stop our accelerating slide into hyperinflation and fascism.
I'm no lawyer, but to me it is clear that he is colluding with (I'm presuming he is not conspiring with), or being somehow controlled by traitors--loyalists to the Anglo-Dutch liberal system who don't want their usurious looting regulated by sovereign nation states.
By the way, the Lisbon Treaty has just been defeated in a referendum by the people of Ireland--a major victory against the above mentioned scum, albeit temporary... they are nothing if not persistent.
The fact the "big blogs" would try and censor Larry Sinclair only serves to give more attention to him.
But then these bloggers have always lived up to the nickname "the nutroots." They don't have one lick of sense.
Last night, very late, I saw a news report on GoogleNews that Obama's brother in Kenya had said that Obama was definately born Muslim and followed that religion as a young man. I don't care if he was Muslim, but I do care if he lied. The news story is gone today and I haven't seen any other reports of it. Do you know anything?
An Israeli paper covered this. I'll discuss it soon.
WHY WOULD LARRY SINCLAIR PERSIST?
WHAT DOES DONALD YOUNGS MURDER HAVE TO DO WITH IT?
Read Sinclairs statement to Chicago Police:

I hate Howard Dean. He was the wrong choice for Party chairman in '04, installed only to appease the so-called progressives enraged by the Kerry nomination and perceived election loss.
As for why he turned a deaf ear to the prog's misogynist attacks against Hillary in '08, I thought it was kind of obvious that Clinton was opposed to Dean getting the nod in '04 (because, among other problems with his campaign, Dean was telling the Democrats the Party should abandon its support for abortion rights). No, I'm not suggesting that Hillary personally "did him in," but I'm pretty sure Dean remembers her non-support back then.
Also, Dean's stupid. I suspect he thinks the prog madness killing the Party is a actually a good thing because it makes the Dems look populist. It was fucking Dean who brought the prog crazy to this dance in the first place with his stupid "the DNC is rotten at the top/get angry" meme in '02-'03. But now he's realizing how well and truly fucked the Democrats are going to be by the Obama nomination and is trying to make nice with the alienated Clinton voters.
Good luck with that, Howie.
How would the Obamas in Kenya know anything about how Barack was born and raised since they weren't in Hawaii or Indonesia? His mother separated from his Kenyan father when Barack was 2 years old.
It's not just the "get over it" that's condescending. I take even stronger offense to the first part: "If women would just take a moment" -- take a moment?? He presumes: 1) that only women would not transfer support to him, and 2) that women have not given their election choice a moment's thought!! It reeks of "Women, if you'd only give it one second of rational thought, you'd get over your silly little temper tantrum."
