Flag issue is designed to derail Dean [View All]

[Ugnmoose]

My belief is that Dean is equally feared by both Repukes and the DLC. They know if he is elected he will be much harder to manipulate than perhaps any other candidate (except Kucinich). So it is now gangup time. This issue is being blown way out of context and out of proportion. Everyone knows damn well what Dean meant and it was in no way a racist comment. Simply put, Dean is telling it like it is. For the Dems to win they are going to have to bring the "southern bubbas" back into the fold. The only way to do that is to show them that only a Dem administration will be sensitive and responsive to their needs, that the Bushistas are f**king them over big time. The Dems cannot afford to write off the South nor should they. I admire Dean's courage to speak out on this issue and I deplore those who try to make political capital out of it.
