Dean: 'Some' Dems demonizing N.Y. mosque opponents
By Jordan Fabian    - 08/20/10 06:15 AM ET

Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said Thursday that some members of his party are "demonizing" opponents of the Lower Manhattan mosque.

Dean — who surprised many political observers this week by saying that the planners should move the location of the planned Islamic center — targeted Democrats and Republicans in an interview with MSNBC.

"I don't think — I honestly — I think some of my own folks at my end of the spectrum of the party are demonizing some fairly decent people who are opposed to this," he said. "And again, in no way am I defending the right-wing of the Republican Party. Sixty-five percent of the people in this country are not right-wing bigots. Some of them really have deep emotional feelings about this."
The 2004 presidential candidate's comments come as the mosque issue has become part of the national debate, after President Obama chimed in last week.

Obama said last Friday night that the planners of the Islamic center have the right to construct the facility, but said the next day he was not commenting on the "wisdom" of the particular location of the building.

An Islamic group called the Cordoba Initiative wants to build the facility, which includes a mosque, two blocks from the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which as ignited a political firestorm. Some Republicans, who largely oppose the mosque, have used Dean's comments as a political cudgel against Democrats.

But Dean also fired back at the GOP, which he accused of using the mosque issue disingenuously, saying the "Sarah Palins and the Newt Gingriches ... are exploiting this for whatever political gain they can get out of it."

Dean called for a "thoughtful, reasonable dialogue about this" while comparing it to the debate in Vermont over legalizing same-sex marriage that occurred when he was governor.

"Look, these folks have a right to build this. And they have a right to do this where they are about to build it," he said. "I think this may be a teachable moment, I really do."

Dean's spot-on. Even the leftists on Getdumb have been trying to demonize anyone who is against (Over 65% of Americans).

 I thought the dem. party. was the worst ever yet now you're hanging onto this guy's opinion? Oh, what a brutal double standard.
sound familiar






Why the fuck should we care about what Ted Olson has to say? I thought the Bush admin. was the worst ever yet now you're hanging onto this guy's opinion? Oh, what a brutal double standard.

Another incoherent mass of gibberish from one of the resident morons on here.

I hate to break it to you, but I'm a registered independent who leans left more than right on most issues. The two-party system and people who blindly follow their registered party (you) disgust me. Feel like owning yourself again, my idiotic chum?

Oh, and Dean's comments apply directly to you.

[blacken700]

you may be independent but you don't lean left

[Fury]

you may be independent but you don't lean left

Hahaha, what would you know? You can't even spell the word "attack". Sorry that I don't side with you brainless far-left tards and your blind following of your Messiah.

[Soul Crusher]

Dean came across as very reasonable in the interviews I saw with him on this. 

Of course, he was savagely attacked on HP and other far left sites for daring to express an opposing view point.

Do you think Pelosi will call for an investigation of him and the other 200 million Americans that oppose this monument to jihad?

Are you even capable of discussing a topic without resorting to youtube?  

People can have opposing views and not be driven by hatred on this, as Dean, Reid, Patterson, all have shown.

ppl have the right to any opinion that they want.  i would never 'demonize' anyone.  heck, i could give a rats ass if someone wants to worship satan or pray to a dog turd found in their yard.  Use your time here however you want, i could care less.
