Reply #111: When did I say I didn't mention Dean

[sangh0]

I did mention him, and I will continue to do so because I think it's relevant.

think Kerry could benefit from Dean's campaign lessons and here is how.

1. He could motivate countless people by going after Bush.

2. He could remain a darling of the media, the DLC and corporations by continuing to be a non threat to them.

1) Kerry has gone after Bush* for longer than Dean has

2) Kerry has done more to oppose media consolidation *AND* corporate interests than Dean has done.

Dean lost because he was a threat to the media the DLC and corporate America. Mainly because he threatened the media ... Kerry is not a threat to any of the above, nor am I suggesting he become so. I am merely asking him to be a threat to Bush.

Keep repeating that. Maybe someday, someone will be persuaded. Dean lost because of Gore's endorsement

Dean is your strawman Sangh0

Obviously, you don't know what a straw man is. It's a refutation to an argument that wasn't made. In order for me to use Dean as a straw man, I'd have to claim that you made an argument based on Dean's experience.

I have not done that. I haven't said that you used Dean's experience. I said you've done the opposite, and refused to consider Dean's experience. I'm the one who put forward an argument using Dean's experience, so it's not a straw man.
