thought I'd see that!

snip from your link//

Even the liberal Howard Dean, we learned yesterday, is critical of the Obama administration’s negotiations with Iran. Dean, appearing on Morning Joe, urged the administration to back out of the negotiations still underway in Lausanne, Switzerland. This is supposed to imply that there is some sort of bipartisan consensus forming around the idea that administration is too willing to cede ground in order to secure a deal.

Anyone who wrote about this as if it were a surprising comment from Howard Dean, as National Review did, is simply lazy. Joe Scarborough and his producers, though, are guilty of something closer to malpractice. Dean is a paid shill for the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK), the Iranian exile group that calls for an overthrow of the Iranian regime. This organization has worked closely with hawks in recent years to build support for their shared goal. And a new policy of rapprochement with Iran, however modest, is not good for MEK.


Guess who loves him, baby?!


I was a Deaniac back in the day.. and now look at what John Kerry has done!

Mahalo for this, BG.. it's good to have the whole story.

Why take money from anyone and even leave the door open to be labelled an influence peddler? It's sad what he is doing to himself here.

Nowadays, I start with the assumption that anyone not in office, or running for office, is just spouting whatever they are either paid to spout, or spouting what they think will appeal to voters and campaign donors. People in office - almost the same criteria, except they can actually influence things with their votes.

Sort of like watching a bizarre and quite political version of School for Scandal.

Dean is closer to John Bolton than he is to Hillary Clinton on Iran.

He's just a shill.

It's all a matter of public record.

The hero worship of this hack is finally starting to subside.
