Nuance Alert: Republicans Are Mean, Sayeth Dr. Dean

This has been the standard message of the Democrats and their liberal media spirit squad since the 50's.

But they've generally been less, how you say?, simplissime than this previously.

But it's all part and parcel of the Democrats' strategy to win the votes of dumb people -- think dumb, talk dumb, act dumb. Dumb people like that. It makes us feel superior, and hence, willing to vote for you, our supposed inferiors, for high elective office.

Here are the quotes from the brilliant Doctor Dean:

Dean: "We have got to start laying the groundwork for a national party, for a national message. ... [Republicans] are mean. They are not nice people. They want to run nearly every aspect of your life.

The RNC immediately responded with its own focus-group-tested message: "You stink!!! I mean, you really, really stink!!!"

The brilliant doctor, who by the way is really a centrist moderate of fiercely mainstream views, went on to explain why Democrats sound so incoherent:

We know what we believe in but we have trouble articulating it.

Wasn't that sort of the knock on Bush for the past six years (rounding up, including the election season of 2000)?

Is that now the dog-ate-my-homework excuse of the Democratic Party?

Vote Democratic

We're every bit as stupid and inarticulate as Bush is. Now vote for us, you ungrateful retards!

You need the entire quote for context:

We know what we believe in but we have trouble articulating it in such a way as to hide the meaning.

From those redneck retards I mean.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't surprise me if that was the response of the RNC given that over the years they have sat back while the left has cast them as racist, corrupt, war mongering and dumb.

Is there a link or is this a joke?

With Dean, I can't tell reality from parody anymore.

Maybe Smitty can clear this up.

Posted by: The Warden on April 5, 2005 05:43 PM

This comes from a source Ace isn't allowed to "coordinate" with.

In any event, it's just from an email, so no link.

We know what we believe in but we have trouble articulating it.

Yes Democrats "know in their hearts" that whatever Republicans believe in is wrong.

Dang! Howard's just gotta quit sugar-coating it, don't you think? Why doesn't he tell us how he really feels?

"Republicans are mean people"

Heh. Like that's a bad thing. Why do you think I joined? To crush the help at the Augusta Golf Club Ladies' Auxiliary Tea Dance? Well of course that's why.

Jesus, why don't Democrats just pull their pants up to their armpits, slick their hair down from center parts with Brylcreem, and change out their contact lenses for nurd glasses held together in the center by medical tape. What a bunch of utter da-horks.

You know, maybe we should stop taking notice when Dean says stuff like this. Because, knowing Howard, if he's not getting attention then he'll figure the problem is that he's not being blunt and outspoken enough. And the consequences of that would be delightful.

I swear, I am so into this guy. He just makes me crazy. When he starts talking like this I forget Betsy's even in the room, if you know what I mean.

"We know what we believe in but we have trouble articulating it."

As your high school guidance counselor, I have to advise you not to go into politics.
