i'm unaware of the "plantation woman" sterotype. you'll have to explain that one. and how exactly does one get of the plantation?
He can't explain how pointing out that the only folks who could maximize themselves in early America were landed white males is bigotry; neither can he explain how pointing out that the history of the nation can be seen as minorities fighting for the right to take that maximization of potential afforded to that initial group and their families and, group by group, extend it to nearly everyone else, is bigotry; I don't think he'll fare much better with this apparently new "plantation woman" stereotype. But it ought to be alot of fun to watch him try.
Howard Dean will lay out vision for the future of the Democratic Party in a speech at noon today. This should be merely the opening salvo in the battle for control of the party ideology, between the traditional progressive principles and ideas of the base and the grassroots vs. the we lost so let's cave, and move the party more to the right strategies of the powerful few in the DLC (the Republican wing of the Democratic Party). www.salon.com/news/feature/2004/12/07/dean/index.html See the speech here @ 12PM Eastern: www.democracyforamerica.com
