Goodness… Don’t look now but Howard Dean just drop-kicked Obama and Pelosi under the bus. That will hurt.
Howard Dean wants the Ground Zero Victory Mosque organizers to relocate their mosque.
That’s weird. I think I just agreed with every word that Howard Dean said.
Ben Smith at The Politico added this on Dean’s remarks:
Calling for compromise, Dean said on WABC radio today the mosque plan “a real affront to people who lost their lives” and laments Islam’s being “in the 12th century” in Iran and some other Muslim countries.
He also says he believes the Cordoba organizers are in good faith, and that their project should be built elsewhere.

Yes, but did he end the statement with “aaaargh” If not he’s pandering…
Hale commented:
Has Obama called for no more Christian churches to ever again be built in Ameirca. I bet he has wispered that to his Marxist buddies.

Is Pelosi going to investigate Dean’s funding???

Lifelong Vermonter here. The Howard Dean that was our Governor and the Howard Dean that was a Presidential candidate and DRC chair are two completely different persons.
As our Governor, he regularly pissed off Vermont’s hard Left (and they’re waaaaay out there) by denying their funding and forcing our Legislature to adopt a budget far more in line with the centrist views of the state as a whole. He’d even go on air to tell the Left that their ideas were over-expensive lunacy that would never work in Vermont.
When he announced his quixotic run for the Democratic nomination, I fully expected to see the pragmatic centrist he’d been for 5+ terms as Governor. I even posted props for him on many blogs based on his Vermont record (and I’m a hard-core fiscal & foreign policy conservate/waffling social moderate-to-liberal) Instead, I got the male version of Nancy Pelosi (in retrospect). I and many other Vermonters were shocked in the instant transformation into a 68′er-style progressive.
To this day I still don’t know which Howard Dean is the real one.

DNC chair.

He is still a looney.

“The Cordoba organizers are in good faith”??!
Feisal Abdul Rauf, the project’s imam, wrote a book called “What’s Right with Islam Is What’s Right with America”–BUT it was published in Malaysia (a Muslim country) under the title “A Call to Prayer from the World Trade Center Rubble: Islamic Dawa in the Heart of America Post-9/11″ (dawa is Islamic proselytism). A noncommercial edition was published by two organizations that have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and promote Hamas.
WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW, PEOPLE???!

I saw a tweet today stating that the Ground Zero Victory Mosque issue is not a Republican, Democrat or an Independent issue. It is an American issue. I am starting to believe it.
God Bless America.

First Reid, now Dean.
Maybe Obama is throwing himself under the bus for the mid-term elections.
Arch commented:
No sale Howard! The people behind this effort want a monument to muslim mass murder overlooking the scene of their crime. The politicians – Obama, Bloomberg, Pelosi, Nadler, Rangel – have been behind this project from the start. I would bet money has already changed hands. Dean is just trying to save a few seats in the House. Good luck with that.
