Dean Calls for suspension of voting rights for white men and Hispanics | |||
| DNC chairman says 'We need
a strong, wiry black man in charge' By Mickey Sartre February 29, 2008--Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean is calling for the suspension of voting rights for most white men and perhaps all Hispanic voters. White men who would be allowed to vote would include Dean, Ted Kennedy, Dennis Kucinich, and a few, select others.
"It is well known that these people, Latinos and white men, have a skewed, racist view of the world. Blacks and women are far more loyal, objective and deserving of a vote," Dean said. With the absence of white men and Hispanics at the polls and the continuing defection of black super-delegates from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama, it is expected that Obama would get 99.99% percent of the black vote for the democratic primaries. Cleveland congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones would be the sole African American in the country to vote for Hillary Clinton. "We're working on Stephanie," Dean said. "She's loyal to a fault, but she'll come around to our way of thinking. She'll realize that we need a strong, wiry black man in charge." Last week, speaking at a Black History Month rally, Dean said the Democratic field “looks like America,” while the all-white male Republican field “looks like the 1950s and talks like the 1850s." Dean further went on to say that the U.S. should "send all these white men back to Europe where they came from." Asked if he, as a white man, counts himself a member of that group, Dean said, "No I do not. In the first place, I'm the chairman of the DNC, and in the second place, I have never owned black slaves and never will. Is there any question that the Republicans would if they could? That's the difference." With the absence of white male and Hispanic voters, Barack Obama would almost certainly win the general election by a landslide. The News Lampoon--Twisted News, Humor & Satire
