Bad Doctor's Diagnosis

Howard Dean, while he was out shilling for the public option, socialized, rationed health care scheme, was asked about the resignation of green job czar Van Jones. "Primal scream" Dean defended Jones saying Jones was a Yale law graduate. As I recall the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, was a University of Michigan PHD in mathematics and quite the greenie himself-maybe Ted can replace Van as the new environmental jobs mob boss-a nonsense appointment to a nonsense position. Dr. Dean's defense of Jones highlights a gulf between the parties. A responsible Republican, who had gained high party position as Dean enjoyed for the Democrats, would never attempt to mount a defense for a pariah like David Duke, who was rightly declared a persona non grata by the GOP after the former Klansman tried to hitch his wagon to the Republican party. The big tent of the GOP excludes race baiters and reactionary instigators while the Democrats welcome racial incendiaries and radical troublemakers. Van Jones was not the victim of a smear campaign as he contends but indicted by his own inflammatory words as seen on YOU TUBE, not misquoted or taken out of context. Someone spewing the kind of venom Jones has would be ushered out of any affiliation with a political party that retained integrity, but Dean sunk to Jones' defense. A rabble-rouser with caustic, racist, and Communist utterances does not need to be in a high governmental position in any American administration and only a fool would mention Jones' educational credentials to try to affirm why he had been given a czar title by Obama, who I fear shares some of Jones' radical views.
