42. Here is what Dean ACTUALLY SAID
Republicans are "a pretty monolithic party. They all behave the same. They all look the same. It's pretty much a white Christian party."

"The Republicans are not very friendly to different kinds of people," Dean said Monday, responding to a question about diversity during a forum with minority leaders and journalists. "We're more welcoming to different folks, because that's the type of people we are."

He is not insulting anybody. He is pointing out what he sees as a difference between the GOP and the Dems. Would any of you deny that Dems are more accepting of different races and religious points of view than the GOP? Doesn't the GOP actively advance the agendas of White Evangelical Christians over the concerns of other groups?

Don't let them get away with this spin.
