Reality Checks for the Left on Blacks and Abortion

Reality Checks for the Left on Blacks and Abortion

You may remember Screamin’ Howie Dean.

He’s the doctor-turned-pol who made a fool of himself when he lost the 2004 Democrat Iowa caucuses to two other schleps, John Kerry and John Edwards, then bellowed his “Dean Scream” which effectively ended his campaign for the presidency. Rewarded for bailing out with the chairmanship of the Democrat National Committee, during his 4-year tenure in that job he became so embarrassing to the Dems that he was virtually ignored and was then snubbed by the Obama administration.

Undismayed, Ol’ Howie has been keeping busy the last few years by making speeches hither, thither, and yon on a variety of topics including one to the Christian Science Monitor last week in which he betrayed both his ingrained ignorance and his latent racism.

Echoing the Dem mantra, Dean called the Tea Party the “last gasp” of a 55-year-old generation, a gasping movement in which Tea Partiers are “entirely over 55 and white.” He elaborated on his race card/hate card by adding that they have “trouble with diversity, and the new generation doesn’t. As I am fond of telling college audiences, you all have friends of different races, different religions and different sexual orientations and you all date each other. That’s not how I grew up and not how the Tea Party grew up.”

All I know about how Dean grew up is that he did it as a wealthy East Hamptonite who attended exclusive schools. The liberal guilt factor over that heady upbringing may have resulted in his mind-numbing liberalism.

In any event, black conservatives gave Howie his comeuppance over his Tea Party insults. Project 21, the National Leadership Network of Black Conservatives, called them a “simplistic interpretation” which opens “the new year on a hateful note by playing the race card against ‘tea party’ supporters of limited government.”

“Simplistic” has long been a Howard Dean trademark but Howie outdid himself this time. . .
