Two weeks ago on Face The Nation, former Vermont Governor Howard Dean said the following about the Fanatical Fringe’s chant to primary Obama.
I don’t think he’s going to face an opponent in the democratic primary. I think that would be bad thing for the country and I think it would be a bad thing for the Democratic Party. The history of people running against Presidents in their own party as the challenger, you loses and then the President is weakened and loses. Now the President has done some things that I think are terrific. This is not one of them. But I– I think he will not get an opponent.
But how crazy is the fringe left? The following were written after Dean’s appearance on Face The Nation.
“Because now, Howard Dean is perfectly positioned to primary Obama in 2012” (fflambeau on FDL)
“Howard Dean, Call Barack Obama and Tell Him that you will run against him in the primaries unless he drops his idea to cut social security.” (40 Years in the Desert)
Hello Fringe Left? It’s Clue calling. Time to get one.
