39. Lets look at the quotes made by Begala and Brazille......
"Paul, you're looking at the old coalition. A new Democratic coalition is younger. It is more urban, as well as suburban, and we don't have to just rely on white blue-collar voters and Hispanics. We need to look at the Democratic Party, expand the party, expand the base and not throw out the baby with the bathwater." The above comment was made by Donna "still neutral" Brazile, telling Paul Begala that the 'New Dem party' doesn't need white working-class people and Latinos..

Now here is Paul's comment: "We cannot win with egg heads and African-Americans. OK, that is the Dukakis Coalition, which carried ten states and gave us four years of the first George Bush." Seems to me that Begala was right in his comment.

Carville
"I was quoted accurately and in context, and I was glad to give the quote and I was glad I gave it. I'm not apologizing, I'm not resigning, I'm not doing anything."
-- Carville, on calling Bill Richardson "a Judas," Richardson could've stayed neutral, but he chose to screw an old friend, instead, a friend who put him on the map so he could be where he is at today.


Lanny Davis, " My concerns were retriggered when I read for the first time three excerpts from Rev. Wright's sermons published several weeks ago in a national news magazine:

- "We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye. We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost."
-- Sept. 16, 2001 (the first Sunday after 9/11)

- "The government . . . wants us to sing G-d Bless America. No, no, no. G-- damn America; that's in the bible, for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human."
-- 2003

- "The United States of White America."
-- July 22, 2007
"As I read and reread these words, I keep thinking: If my rabbi ever uttered such hateful words from the pulpit about America and declared all Palestinians to be terrorists, I have no doubt I would have withdrawn immediately from his congregation.Lanny Davis, April 9, 2008; Page A15

Code words? you never listed these so called racist code words they were to have uttered.

Oh well - we will lose in November, but at least you all will have broken the 700-year dynasty family chain of having Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton shoved down our throats...
