If You Try to Kill Someone; It’s Really Important to Succeed
From Stalin airbrushing comrades from official Soviet history to Hitler arresting or killing the allies that brought him to power to Saddam Hussein murdering a full third of the Iraqi Parliament within hours of attaining power, it’s always the same story. These people can sense weakness and attack their own when they sense an opportunity.
This kind of reminds me of the infamous Baxter-Lopez affair. Many years ago when I was still an NCO in 1st Ranger Battalion we were wrapping up a training exercise in California, Camp Parks I think.
Anyway, we all got a 24 hour pass before heading back to Savannah. So the next morning we are all sitting on a tarmac waiting on C141’s to pick us up when suddenly about a dozen cop cars come screaming on the scene and promptly arrest two Rangers for a heinous attack they perpetrated the night before.
They attacked a nurse. Raped her, shot her and dumped her body off a bridge. Miraculously, she lived and managed to drag her bloodied body, barely clinging to life, back to the roadway and was spotted by a passing off-duty EMT.
Baxter and Lopez were fingered rapidly and then turned on each other even faster. They are both still serving life in San Quentin.
Why is this story relevant?
Because these two savages would likely have walked had they just killed the woman who provided the only link that this crime was committed by Rangers.
Has Obama made the same mistake? It is certainly starting to look that way. The Obama-Emanuel Chicago poli-syndicate tossed Howard Dean under the bus in much the same way that those Rangers did that young nurse off a bridge.
In political terms they ravaged him just as the nurse was tortured. Dean was given no voice on the platform, no primetime speech, no cabinet position, not even an ambassadorship to some far away, insignificant post; and apparently he’s just a bit pissed about it.
Subbing for Keith Olberman, Dean took Obama to task.
Here was Dean in his show opening monologue.
HOWARD DEAN: No public option? No employer mandate? Why bother? Is President Obama slowly losing the health care fight?
Later, chatting with Congressman Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Chair of the Dem Congressional Campaign Committee, Dean dealt the unkindest cut of all.
DEAN: Chris, voters were promised “change they can believe in.” Are you concerned about what may happen to our party in 2010 or 2012 if we don’t get any change at all?
Ouch! I think Howie is really pissed. And, you what? He should be.
Don’t get me wrong, Howard Dean is teetering dangerously close to a full blown Communist and he strikes me as a little on the wacko side but in shear political terms he earned a hell of a lot more respect than the Chicago machine has shown him.
Dean took the reins of the DNC at its lowest point from the disastrous DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe. The Republicans had just re-elected a President and maintained control of both houses of Congress. In slightly less than four years Dean reversed the dynamic 180 degrees.
Dean led the Democrat Party to take back both houses of Congress by huge majorities and the Presidency in one term. History will view him as the most effective DNC Chairman since the Johnson administration.
Obama has not silenced Dean who is still a very beloved figure in the Daily Kos and Democrat Underground hippie communities.
Every time Obama fails in another effort toward Socialism Dean gets stronger and the far left will start to peel off and support him.

Alphs Co. 1/75.
good time, bro.
I think your giving Dean too much credit.
What I’ve seen is a complete failing on the Republican side.
They had the opportunity to make significant changes, and blew it.
I have completely forgotten about Howard Dean as it appeared he’d completely fallen off the (Dem) political radar books. The left is so drunk with power now that they control everything, that they don’t realize that Obama (and his media sycophants) was portrayed as a post partisan, post racial, centrist who, according to Newsweek, is “sort of God”. Well, maybe they do since they’re trying to ram all these radical policies through Congress before the country WAKES UP and realizes the POTUS in reality is a non-accomplished leftist radical and now. Personally, I don’t think this deception is deliberate and one problem they have is Barry believes his own hype. Emmanuel and Axelrod are running the show/agenda. They’re much more disciplined than Barry is when on camera.
Dean may have a legitimate ax to grind about his treatment since “The One” came to power and he’s powerful enough to get the far left engergized against Barry (Kos crew). Blue on Blue. Gotta love it.
Actually, Dean is a full-blown wacko, has been since he blew up on TV. I think KaarenMarie hit it on the head, the R’s blew it, more than Dean was the fantastic architect of something wonderful(for leftists). But, he’s definitely not the O-nnointed one’s boy, so, I’m sure he’ll be under the bus shortly.
