Howard Dean is one of the many idiots in the world of politics (on all sides).

However, I just want to comment on the first quote because it is so often that the Republican party is referred to as a "bunch of old white guys".

First of all, it's not true. There are a lot of people of other races who are Republicans. Sure the majority of the members in the party are white-- but guess what guys? The majority of this country is white!!! It's not disproporionate to the nation's demographics. Most political parties here (including the Democrats) probably have a white majority. :rolleyes:

Secondly, what's wrong with white people? Why should someone use those words as a way to insult a party or demean them? IMO, if you're going to take a super-sensitive liberal stance on things and be all gung ho about being "politically correct", you have to realize that that's racism too. Not that I'm offended by the comment, personally. I just think it's so stupid and inconsistent to put white people down in order to "show" that you're cool with other races. Which is exactly what Dean was doing.

Furthermore, the "Christian" thing-- what the hell kind of religious freedom do we have in this country if everything that has to do with Christianity is constantly ridiculed, put down, and insulted? Have you noticed that people can say anything they want about Christians and antagonize them, but it's politically incorrect to say anything about any other religion, from Judaism to New Age to Hindu to Buddhism?

And just like I said about the "white" comment-- again, it's not true. There are a lot of Republicans (maybe more than half, even) who aren't Christians. I know some Muslims, some Kabbalists, a lot of Jews, and a lot of atheists who are Republican. I don't understand what the word "Christian" could have possibly contributed to his argument. Although when it comes to Dean, argument is always too strong a word for the rhetorical vomit that comes out of his mouth.
