Dem Chairman Dean Continues Playing Obama Camp’s Race Cards

Trying To Use Gender And Race To Divide Voters

The Boston Globe reports that on NPR today the national chairman of the Democrats’ called the Republican Party the “white” party:

“If you look at folks of color, even women, they’re more successful in the Democratic Party than they are in the white, uh, excuse me, in the Republican Party,” Dean said at one point.

You can listen the Democrats’ chairman continue to play Obama’s race card below:

If you want more context, you can listen to the entire NPR broadcast here.

Obama can’t get away with playing the race card anymore. No, not now that the McCain Campaign called Democrats’ presumptuous nominee on playing the race card. No, not now that the Obama’s chief strategist admitted that the Obama’s comments referred to Obama’s race. No, not now that a majority see Obama’s dollar bills comments as racist.

According to the Globe, McCain campaign co-chairwoman Carly Fiorina, called Dean on continuing to play the Obama’s race card:

“It is disappointing to see Howard Dean trying to use gender and race to divide voters. His comments are insulting, inappropriate and have no place in this election.”

DNC spokeswoman Stacie Paxton claims Dean misspoke,

“He misspoke and corrected himself immediately.”

I’ve listened to Dean’s comments several times. You are never going to convince me Dean’s comments were not intentional. If you believe Dean’s comments were unintentional, well, I have ocean front property to sell you in Kansas.

    of “peace and tolerance” who have no compunction about lying and cheating to get their way? Don’t know about others, but I’m getting real tired of being deemed racist, or fill-in-the-blank-here-phobic, hateful and just plain mean because I disagree with the perspectives and statements of someone who just happens to be not white.
    Did all the Dems who have seats today study with Saul Alinsky?

    …and focusing only on the Bush administration…

    First black Secretary of State? GOP.

    Second black Secretary of State? GOP.

    First black National Security Advisor? GOP.

    Add to that a black Secretary of Education, Asian Secretary of Labor, Hispanic Attorney General, Hispanic Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and black Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

    Yeah. It looks like Howard Dean is attempting to engage in the same Reality Distortion the Obama campaign has so ineffectively attempted to employ of late.

    Then of course he’d correct himself immediately.

    ….the Lefties would call it a sign of inner hate and racism, and demand he/she apologize repeatedly, resign or step down, be sent to sensitivity training, and spend an afternoon on the couch with Oprah or Dr. Phil or both.

    Each of those appointees was qualified for the job — no mere Clinton token appointee put in place to be a minority figurehead — but a real-life qualified candidate to run that department competently.

    That is the difference between the Republicans and Democrats — the Republicans don’t divide by add by qualification.

    It has been interesting to see how the Democrats have kept Howard from the spotlight for so long. It is nice to see him slip off the muzzle for a moment. He can always be counted on for a real boneheaded statement or two.

    Just keep talking Howard, you’re still the best gift to the Republicans.
