Deaniac Idiocy

The following comment from a Dean supporter was spotted on the WesleyClarkWeblog:

The Dean/Gore/Bradley wing is not going to mobilize for anyone but an anti-establishment figure. Any endorsement will be half-hearted at best, and few will contribute. This is about more than beating Bush. We need to change the corrupt forces within the party that sent us into Iraq.

Wow.

Once again I am amazed at the political immaturity of some Dean supporters. Of course, this person is only repeating what Dean's already said: we don't play well with others.

I am happy that Dean has mobilized people who haven't been in politics before to participate. Of course, so has Clark. But does he get any credit for it? No, it's "Clark's just a puppet of the DLC." Screw that. First of all, I like moderates. Moderates get stuff done. Second of all, Clark is clearly no one's puppet. Third of all, "anti-establishment"? What are you, thirteen? Let's just sweep "the establishment" away and start all over, fresh. The establishment is bad. Down with the establishment. Oh, and while we're at it, don't trust anyone over thirty.

Finally, yeah, maybe congressional dems didn't do enough to halt the war in Iraq. But that war is not their fault. Let's all remember whose decision it was to go to war: George W. Bush's. In the end, it is always the President's decision.

I trust Wes Clark to make those decisions.

Do Deaniacs really want to repeat the mistake of Nader voters in 2000? Will they insist on believing that no one but Dean is worth their vote, that giving their vote to someone who isn't quite what they wanted is worse than another four years of GWB? Do they not remember life before GWB?

Comments like that one make me happy we don't have a comments facility for our blog. I read plenty of idiotic things on other peoples' blogs, I don't want to have to read them on mine.
