From the Washington Blade:
Democratic Party Chair Howard Dean on May 2 fired the party’s gay outreach advisor Donald Hitchcock less than a week after Hitchcock’s domestic partner, Paul Yandura, a longtime party activist, accused Dean of failing to take stronger action to defend gays.
Yandura said Tuesday night that Dean was using Hitchcock as a “scapegoat” for problems of Dean’s own making.
“All I did was ask questions about what the party and Dean are doing about its GLBT constituency, Yandura said. “I have yet to see any answers.”
And Now from Hat Air:
Probably taken out of context. With a sober, judicious character like Howard Dean, what other explanation could there be?
“I was recently asked about the difference between the Democratic and Republican parties,” Dean said. “When it comes right down to it, the essential difference is that the Democrats fundamentally believe it is important to make sure that American Jews feel comfortable being American Jews.”
Eh. To be honest, I don’t take Dean-o seriously enough to be bothered by his sporadic jackassery. I’m linking just because it’s a swell opportunity to air some of his dirty laundry. Like for instance, here he is on the campaign trail in January 2004 making Jews comfortable by wearing the black-and-white checked Arafat/Fatah keffiyeh
LGF memorialized the incident for posterity. “From militant resistance fighters in Iraq to Indonesian independence fighters to Nicaraguan revolutionaries,” wrote the Lebanon Daily Star shortly after Arafat’s death, “the keffiyeh, a simple cotton black-and-white-striped head-covering most often associated with Arafat who famously wore it to address the UN General Assembly in 1974, is alive and kicking.” And making Jews comfortable.
A few months before the keffiyeh fashion show, Dean stepped in another pile when he said “it’s not our place to take sides” in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. So comforting did the public find his remarks that he was forced to “clarify” the very next day, but not before other Democrats had fed him buckets of crap over it.
Hat tip to Brian for this piece.
two guys doing each other, and both want a little boy to play with,:roll: its part of the plan to dismantle the USA And both parties are playing the game:idea:
Yeeeaaaahhhhh!!! I haven’t figured out what annoys me more, listening to Howard Deaniac’s periodic idiot outbursts, or hearing replays of Al Gore’s 2000 electioneering, especially his old time Souther Minister preaching mode.
The Republicans have some issues for sure, but look at the leadership of the Democrite party. I think it takes the prize for having the most whackjobs, freaks, and just plain lunatics. And hands down on the traitors.
There is an organization that every Jew should go to their website and educate themselves. The organization is the JPFO. Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. They bring up a number of good points about Jewish history including the Holocaust and the Jewish uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto. They bring up points that I have asked every liberal Jew that I’ve met and could never get an honest, well thought out answer to. If Every Liberal Jew would read the information on their website and realize the impact of what the DEMOCRATS have done in this country that could lead to another Holocaust, they’d never vote Democratic again. I also have to wonder why the same liberal Jews who are so emphatically in favor of gun control here, while supporting Israel where gun control means being able to hit your target and the only time a school is a “Gun Free” zone is when the entire staff have gone home for the evening. BTW the JPFO is totally against virtually any form of gun restrictions because they realize that the only way to reduce the risk of Fred’s NWO is for the citizenry to be as well armed as possible. They are much more adamant about it than the NRA. Of course, Jews are known for studying history, and occasionally even learning from it. Why do you think the Mossad is so good at what they do?
FAO, I went to that website and poked around. I gotta say, it sounds a little nutty to me. The way some things are phrased sounds like the same way Michael Moore phrases things. Some examples on their FAQ page:
Why are so many Jews so irrationally anti-gun? Note the use of the word “irrationally.”
What about that business about a gun being 43-times more likely to do harm than good? “That business?” Please.
Their article, “The Next Holocaust,” is hard to take seriously in the context that they want it to. You can take any race, any culture, and have just as many facts about violence against them. I gues we’re all just screwed, huh? Holocaust for everyone? I doubt it.
I am not in any way downplaying the Holocaust or the millions of people that suffered because of it. I am simply saying that there will not be another holocaust against Jews. Period. This web page is trying to scare people into believeing there will be.
Well on the Anti-gun topic, the anti-gun stance is irrational. The industrialized country with the LOWEST gun crime is the one with the HIGHEST level of gun ownership. Every adult male is required to maintain a selective fire military assault rifle, high capacity handgun and a large amount of ammo for each in their homes. That country is Switzerland. Every country who has adopted restrictive gun regulations has seen a drastic INCREASE in violent crime. Those states that have adopted “Shall issue” concealed carry laws have experienced declines (sometimes extreme) in their murder rates. As one Florida criminal put it when asked why his gang had carjacked a couple of German tourists “We knew that the tourists wouldn’t be armed, we couldn’t be sure if the Florida residents are.” This from the mouth of a 13 yr old.
As for there never being another Jewish Holocaust, please explain that to Amadinajad, the president of Iran. For that matter, why shouldn’t every person be able to defend themselves?
Wanna see something shocking (well, maybe not)…look at this list of quotes compiled by Dr. Mike Adams… from our lovely campuses.
10. “911 was a conspiracy planned between the Bush administration and the Jews. They wanted an excuse to attack Arabs and the ignorant public bought into it.”(from a now-deceased college professor).
9. “I don’t want any teacher who supports George W. Bush. If Bush is elected he’s planning – along with the rest of the Republicans – to bring back slavery. I don’t want to work picking cotton in the cotton fields like my ancestors.”(college student).
8. “It is a known fact that the Reagan administration invented crack to destroy the black community.”(college professor).
7. “The Reagan administration hired Jewish doctors to develop the AIDS virus to destroy Africa.”(college professor).
6. “The Mona Lisa was painted by an African artist and stolen from a museum in Ethiopia. Most of the great works of art are African in origin and stolen by white people. This is done to promote the myth of white cultural superiority.”(graduate student).
5. “The voting machines in Florida were built by white supremacists. They may well be able to distinguish between black and white voters. Who knows what they are capable of making those machines do?”(college professor).
4. “Newt Gingrich’s election as Speaker of the House, limiting affirmative action, limiting welfare, the Republican tax cuts, and the balanced budget are all part of the same idea. Everything the Republicans do or discuss is about racism. Everything is a well-orchestrated effort to keep the black man down.”(college professor).
3. “The ABC news doesn’t tell you. The CBS news doesn’t tell you. The NBC news doesn’t tell you. Even CNN doesn’t tell you. Nobody tells the truth that almost all serial killers are white. The news outlets all work together to make folks think that all killers are black.”(college professor and diversity director).
2. “The death penalty is a genocidal mechanism that seeks to control black people through extermination or, more importantly, the threat of extermination.”(college professor).
1. “It is a proven fact that U.S. Coast Guard ships – on orders from President Bush – were seen crashing into the New Orleans levees during Hurricane Katrina. Bush did it to kill black people living in government housing projects.”(college student).
what liberal academia?
