Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Howard Dean pronounces Rove guilty anyway, yet gave OBL presumption of innocence two years ago!
First, his statement on today’s news that Fitzgerald will not be indicting Karl Rove (emphasis added):
DNC Chair Howard Dean on NBC’s ‘TODAY’: ‘If Karl Rove had been indicted it would have been for perjury. That does not excuse his real sin which is leaking the name of an intelligence operative during the time of war. He doesn’t belong in the White House. If the President valued America more than he valued his connection to Karl Rove, then Karl Rove would have been fired a long time ago. So I think this is probably good news for the White House, but its not very good news for America’…
LOL – so Howard Dean can pronounce Rove guilty even though Fitz has stated he won’t file charges against Rove, yet when the discussion of OBL’s guilt or innocence came up a few years ago, here’s what Dean had to say:
“I’ve resisted pronouncing a sentence before guilt is found,” Dean said. “I still have this old-fashioned notion that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty, we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge jury trials. So I’m sure that is the correct sentiment of most Americans, but I do think if you’re running for president, or if you are president, it’s best to say that the full range of penalties should be available. But it’s not so great to prejudge the judicial system.”
But apparently it’s ok to post-judge it … if a Republican is involved!

Is there a bag limit on politco’s willing and able to sell out the USA for their own perverse pleasures? …An out of state permit? …A finders keepers fee? …Any legal process apart from them eating their own?…An either sex or two horns or betterr, special fin….?
I’m sorry, but Howard Dean is a Joke.
He is a figure head of the Democrat Party, and his job is to raise money, something in which he hasn’t been able to do as well as the DNC would like him too.
Everytime I see him, I wonder why the heck is talking on whatever he speaks on, because he speaks such rediculousness most the times.
Why does it seem the left and the media want to give the benefit of the doubt to terrorists? They had bad childhoods, they were teased, they were beaten….that is why they blew up the twin towers…
But they are such good lil terrorists, always faithful to their faith…
Blowing up women and childen for their own good…
And well, dean and company, they like to convict Amercians, especially Marines and the rest of the American Troops, they are guilty before they even get a trial, before all evidence is looked at…
I hope Dean doesn’t practice medicine like he convicts, oh you had the Flu?!? Sorry, I thought i needed to amputate your arm….
Sanity…
Yes, the left wants to declare American Soldiers Guilty, and even when they are proven innocent, the left get thier knickers in a twist. As witnessed by watching Ann Curry going after Iliaro Pantano.
The left/MSM wants to show the terrorists as victims or freedom fighters. What is wrong with these people? Don’t they understand we are in a war? Don’t they understand the U.S. military is out fighting for thier rights to have freedoms.
Although the freedoms our soldiers fight for include free speech, they include many more. The freedoms we enjoy here in the U.S. are a direct result of the sacrifices made by our current and past military men & women, and they, above anyone should be given the benefit of being presumed innocent until proven guilty.
I mentioned earlier that the left wing press is putting itself out of business with it’s out of touch views. It looks like the democratic party is working overtime to make sure they don’t gain any seats in the November Election.
Even the Clinton’s are smart enough to realize Bush is doing not only the right thing, but the popular thing, when it comes to winning the war on terror, NSA wiretaps, etc.
Good catch ST!
It’s just a shock to learn that Howard Dean would be partisan on an issue like this.
Just for clarification, does he have credibility left with anyone anymore?
That poor, poor idiot.
The Leadership of the Dem party is the exact reason I won’t vote Dem again. This man is sooo stupid. He thinks he is smarter than everyone else but he ain’t. This blowhard is one of the reasons I won’t eat Ben and Jerry’s again. That and there is a perfectly wonderful Ice Creamery that is very local, and Whitey’s Ice Cream is better than Ben and Jerry’s any time of day. But I have become so anti-Dem that I don’t even like to give money to companies that have a Dem bias. /shiver
In Iowa there is a perfectly good Dem running for Jim Nussle’s seat in Congress. I grew up with one of this Bill Gluba’s daughter, he is a good man, pro-life, pro-union. If I still lived in Iowa, I would not vote for him. It doesn’t matter what he is for, the party leadership is against what he is for, just look at Zell Miller. This is why they have no credibility. They are so blinded by their special interests that they shaft those that back them. Look at Unions, why is it that Billy Bob Clinton signed NAFTA in 1995 even tho he knew it would hurt Unions. These guys are like a gaggle of Chicken Litte’s running around yelling “THE SKY IS FALLING” I just don’t understand how Howie, see me scream again, not understand this. – Lorica
