It still seems to have an enthusiastic audience.
“You think people can work all day and then pick up their kids at child care or wherever and get home and still manage to sandwich in an eight-hour vote? Well Republicans, I guess can do that. Because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives. “
Ain’t he cute? The little despot. I’ll have to tell my husband that his sixty-hour weeks don’t impress this Park Avenue born toady. Please note, if you will, where all the hate rhetoric is coming from these days, folks.
You can read the rest of it at Ankle Biting Pundits. I don’t want it stinkin’ up my site! 
Trey Jackson has the video of this madness.
UPDATE: I got a particularly vile bit of hate mail by someone who took issue with me suggesting for even a second that any part of Howard Dean or the Democrat party reminds me in any way, in any possible manner of anything to do with Berlin, Hitler or Nazis. Only Conservatives are Nazis (This person seemed not to realize that “Nazi” meant “National SOCIALIST Party”) and only conservatives deserve any allusion or comparison with Nazis, etc, etc. So, for his sake, and for yours, may I present Beautiful Atrocities everyone will be a Nazi for 15 minutes and then this astonishing bit of business from Berkeley (that bastion of tolerance, free speech and ‘dialogue’) in response to Michelle Malkin’s daring to come speak there. Michelle, by the way, is Hitler.

He really is a demagogue in the guise of a doctor turned politician.
Arrogant, hypocritical and foolish man.

Funny how the real “hate mongers” get so worked up when exposed. ? Why is America the only country people literally are DYING TO COME INTO? An immigrant family comes here with $20 in their pockets, and in a generation or two, their kids are going to Harvard, Vassar, or Yale, and the folks have prosperous businesses. Equal opportunity NOT EQUAL RESULTS. Tell these whiners if they want to get rich, get up off their butts, risk capital, and work an 80 hour week 52 times a year. Capitalism works–godless communism don’t.

Well you could have been talking about Napoleon or Julius Caesar, both reputed to be short. In fact a lot of dictators and tyrants were short:
“Alexander the Great, five feet exactly. Isn’t that incredible? I mean Alexander the Great, whose empire stretched from India to Hungary, one inch shorter than me? Haha! Oliver Cromwell, the only man with any balls in British History, wasn’t a big man at all. Louis Catorce, five foot two and a half. Charlemagne? Dopey little five footer - squat little chap. Attila the hun, five foot one and a half. Cerano De Bergerac, five foot three and a half. Tamberlane the Great, four foot nine… and three quarters…”

Most Romans of the Ancient world were short. Julius Caesar was considered tall among his fellow Romans - about 5′7″! So he didn’t suffer from that sydrome. His problem was that he was bald! Which is ironic, considering that his nomen gentile was “Caesar”, meaning “full head of hair”.

I think it’s a stretch to call this particular Howard Dean quote “over the top hate rhetoric”. Especially when you go on to call him a “little Despot”, which by the way, is actual hate rhetoric.
June 3rd, 2005 at 3:42 pm
How is that “actual” hate rhetoric? We refer to Hitler and Idi Amin as despots… is that hate rhetoric or an accurate description?
Howard Dean’s posturing, rhetoric, and yes, even size, fits in with a certain historical category many recognize. I don’t think it’s “hate rhetoric” to make that connection.
If you can’t see how hateful and extreme his inflammatory rhetoric is, then you are truly blind.

Aw, c’mon now. I LOVE Howard Dean. I want to hear MORE of what he ahs to say- preferably on the nightly network news, so as many people as possible can share.
Of course I’m a REPUBLICAN, so YMMV…
Thanks for the quotes, Puppets.

Heh np DaveP- I went to http://imdb.com thinking maybe someone had transcribed them in “memorable quotes” for Time Bandits but no luck, so I dialed up the DVD on my Pioneer 600 DVD carousels and transcribed it my own self. Maybe besides Ash in Alien, Napoleon is my fav Ian Holm role

Aaahhh, deanieboy never ceases to surprise. The best thing to ever happen to the Dems was for Dean to become their spokesman. I can’t wait for Hillary and this “wonder of a brain” to campaign together. He’s very uncomfortable around ice princesses. Gets all tripped up and red in the face. What’s the difference between that and now, you ask? Just you be patient and wait. I’ve watched this “smart man” for the past 13 years or so. He will definitely not disappoint.

Let’s focus on some real over-the-top hate rhetoric, starting with Coulter, Buchanan, Malkin, O’Reilly, the boys at Little Green Footballs and Storm Front, and, of course, wanker extraordinaire, Pat Robertson.
Howard Dean? Please. Your penchant for hyperbole astounds…
June 6th, 2005 at 11:09 am
Oh, please. Of course there manufacturers of excessive rhetoric on
every side, but why don’t we go back to November and take a look at
the language and characterizations from the left, of the right? You
cite Coulter. WE have ONE extremely biting female. You’ve got Dowd,
Ratner, Clift, Michael Moore, vapid hollywood celebrities galore,
Jonathan Altar, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi.
Here’s a good test. Go back through the last 5 years and show me
where the leader of the RNC has used the sort of inflammatory
lingo that regularly spews outta Dean’s mouth. Show me where he talks
about how much he “hates” Democrats and all they stand for. Show me
the GOP politician who refers to the opposition as “chromosome
enchanced…”
Open your eyes, please. For every off-pitch remark from the talkers
on the right you get 50 from the left. Lawrence O’ Donnel, Paul
Begala, James Carville, Paul Krugman, Donna Brazile (just called us
“creeps” the other day). Show me where the rhetoric of Bill Frist
begins to approach what routinely comes out of the mouth of Harry
Reid.
