Reply #35: That's just it. You don't have to defend yourself all the time. [View All]

You wrote a post about Dean speaking up on Iraq 8 months ago (you stressed the 8 months) and getting unfairly treated by the media. Others chimed in saying some other Dem's spoke up on the issue much earlier. SO what?! NO need to get defensive. Good for them - would be a nice reply. People will push your buttons if you jump every time.

And yes, others get attacked, too. Dean is not the only one who has to take crap from the media. The whole right wing media called Clark crazy and a "conspiracy theorist" after he started speaking out about PNAC. He was so right. They destroyed Kerry with the Swift Boat liars. He would have won without the media repeating those lies about him over and over again (Kerry didn't fight back as hard as he should have but that's another matter). Ted Kennedy is a punching bag, and the list goes on...
