| Description | The Democratic National Committee chairman was visiting Capitol Hill for a chat with Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, followed by a photo-op scrum with the Senate Democratic leader and 50-plus journalists. That's when Fox News correspondent Brian Wilson did the math and asked the inevitable question.
The equation was simple. Since Dean had said (a) that he hates Republicans and (b) that the GOP is full of white Christians, did these statements imply (c) that he hates white Christians? For once, Dean held his tongue.
That's the way things have been going ever since the San Francisco forum in which Dean said that the problem with Republicans is that they have "a pretty monolithic party. They all behave the same. They all look the same. It's pretty much a white Christian party."
There was more. "The Republicans are not very friendly to different kinds of people," he said.
"We're more welcoming to different folks, because that's the type of people we are."
When offered a chance to soften his "white Christian party" remark, Dean told NBC that "unfortunately, by and large, it is. And they have the agenda of the conservative Christians."
And all the people said: There he goes again. |
