Newsmax has a hit piece already published, with absolutely no details, and just the inference of wrongdoing.

Sound familiar?

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/2/13/155944.shtml

The Justice Department has launched a wide-ranging federal probe into suspected antitrust violations by Vermont's health-care system during the time it was being overseen by former governor and one-time presidential candidate Howard Dean.

"The sordid vortex of these investigations can be directly traced back to the Dean administration’s inability to hold these institutions accountable," Vermont's Guardian newspaper complained on Friday, the day before Dean was crowned chairman of the Democratic Party.


Fight back, don't let them pull this crap.

2. Lets see if the Dems have spine.
Many do and I never question but so many roll over too......Howard Dean can handle himself, he already has but it's not kind to let the leader take every hit alone.

23. The same logic would hurt the Republicans a lot more
If there is any truth to this story of any impropriety under Dean's watch, it is still rather trivial considering both the many more serious examples both under Republcan watch and, more significantly, with Republican assistance.

24. Timing anyone? Doesn't this sound STALE?
Did they keep it in their scandal box just in case Dean entered the national scene again? Or is their answer to Mr. Fake and the Plame affair, WH access, and sideline income stories?

25. Oh, I'm sure it came out of the scandal box. The GOP was
collecting and re-assembling all kinds of information when it looked as if Dean would win last year's primary. We'll see more of this kind of thing.

It seems stale because it is.

27. Healthcare system was probably contracted out to some corporate
buddies of Bush and others. Is Vermont's healthcare system any worse than the nation on the whole? This will be a big YAWNNnnnnn but they are grasping at straws.

29. I noticed "CheapTickets" is the only corporate sponsor on NewsMax
Cheap Tickets is owned By Cendant Corp, which owns a ton of consumer- oriented companies (Orbitz, Century 21, Howard Johnson, Avis & Budget, etc.)

I just e-mailed the CheapTicket public relations department, complaining about them advertising on such a biased site, and copied it to the head of Cendant Corporate Communications. ( [email protected] copied to: [email protected] )

I told them I wouldn't be using CheapTickets or any of their companies ever again.

I'll be damned if I'm going to patronize companies that spread RW crap...

30. Remember when you email this jerk...ask him how much is he being paid
Ask how much was his take for being a rove-whore.
