It takes an ordinary citizen to peel back the disguise and reveal the ugliness which lives in the hearts of the liberal, moonbat, socialist left.
My apologies for having to link to Reuters Rooter Snooze, but sigh, such is the net.
OELWEIN, Iowa (Reuters) - Dale Ungerer, a 66-year-old retiree from Hawkeye, Iowa, succeeded on Sunday where eight Democratic presidential hopefuls have failed -- he made front-runner Howard Dean show a flash of his much-discussed temper.
Not to mention where the erstwhile journalwhores of the major media had similarly failed. Of course, it's hard to piss off your favorite candidate while ardently felching the sonofabitch just so you can stay in the news-groupie club.
The former Vermont governor had just finished his standard stump speech blasting President Bush for, among other things, his Iraq policy and his stewardship of the economy. He asked, as is his custom, for "questions, comments or rude remarks in the New England tradition."
Request granted. Rude remarks to follow.
Ungerer, wearing a T-shirt bearing the words "Mr Fix It," rose to his feet and condemned what he called the incivility of the campaign and the political press. He suggested Dean and the other Democratic candidates stop "tearing down your neighbor" and cut their "slam, bam and bash Bush" rhetoric."Please tone down the garbage, the mean-mouthing of tearing down your neighbor and being so pompous," Ungerer, a registered Republican who voted for Bush in 2000, said to scattered hisses and boos from the overwhelmingly pro-Dean audience at the Oelwein Community Center.
That Ungerer guy's got balls, folks. He hit paydirt, too.
Dean, whose rivals have suggested his impulsiveness, outspokenness and temperament make him less than ready for the White House but have been unable to provoke him in a dozen or more debates and forums, began by calmly replying: "George Bush is not my neighbor."
And neither is Mr. Rogers, you fuckwit. Say, aren't you the same Dean that thought the book of Job was in the New Testament? Yeah, figures you'd not have a clue as to what "love thy neighbor" is all about.
But when Ungerer stood and tried to interrupt, Dean shouted: "You sit down. You had your say. Now I'm going to have my say."
Sounds kinda unilateral to me. If you get my drift, and I'm sure that'cha do.
The crowd cheered and Ungerer sat.
Typical leftist bullies. Free speech? Yeah, only for them, in their socialist utopia. Those asswits would welcome a speech from Vladimir Lenin or Mao, and shout down Thomas Jefferson were he to stand before them today.
"George Bush has done more to harm this county right here with unfunded mandates, standing up for corporations who take over the farmers' land, making it impossible for middle class people to make a real living, sending our kids to Iraq without telling us the truth first about why they went," Dean said.
Howie, you wouldn't know the truth if it were ran up your ass with a firehose. Which, will happen this November should you stay in the game long enough to attain the donkination. Methinks you'll self destruct first though.
"It's not the time to put up any of this 'love thy neighbor' stuff ... I love my neighbor, but I'll tell you I want THAT neighbor back in Crawford, Texas where he belongs."
Oh Howie. Your neighbors are McGovern, Dukakis, Gore and their ilk. Losers all. In fact, the DNC is gonna have to open a new wing for you guys. The Losers Hall of Shame. Ain't it cool though?
After Ungerer left the room trailed by reporters, Dean lambasted Bush for trying to cut overtime pay, calling it another reason he had "differed with the gentleman over here so vociferously."
Which reveals at which point Howie realized he'd really just had another meal of Foot au Dente. It seems to be his fare of choice.
"This is the president of the United States," he said. "I don't think that's being a good neighbor to ordinary working people."
Yeah, Howie. We just hate having to shoulder the burden of the strongest economy since 1983. You got it. The Reagan Years! Damn, and having to cash those tax rebate checks was just downright awful!
Do any of you remember this gem from 1993?
Q First, President Clinton, let me thank you for giving the opportunity for common folks like us to ask the President of the United States a question in person. It's a honor and a privilege, thank you.President Clinton, I believe that you were elected largely on the basis of your promise of a middle-class tax cut. But for the last 90 days or so, we've seen both you and the Congress transforming that promised middle-class tax cut into an unprecedented round of more taxes and new spending. Our county has been in a deepening recession for the last three years. There's no end in sight, and a malaise is beginning to set in our county, like the Carter era. Please understand, Mr. President, San Diegans just don't have any more money to contribute to the coffers of government.
My question is, can you name one country that has ever taxed and spent itself back into prosperity? Thank you.
The transcript doesn't show the stuttering, squirming, red-faced KKKlinton desperately struggling to form an answer.
But the similarity of the incidents is quite remarkable. A solitary, courageous man, doing the job the other candidates and the media failed to do.
Revealing the men for what they are. Assholes to the core.
You know, as much as I try, I can't be too surprised. Dean and his ilk have always been pampered twits, and when questioned by real people they react poorly.
Bush might be pissing me off, but I look at the other options and shudder.

Ive said it before but Dean scares the hell out of me. And Im not talking about nightmare scary, Im talking about crazy driver with road rage ranting and screaming behind you while chasing your ass about town and trying to cut you off the highway scary.
If you know what I mean.
