Howard Dean Echoes Weepy Walker Protester

We’ve shown you the clip of the hysterical protester on CNN who declared through tears (in a voice that conjured up images of the Hindenburg crossed with Kermit the Frog) that the election of Walker was the “end of democracy.”

Well, apparently that talking point was persuasive enough to liberals that former Democratic National Committee Chair and Presidential candidate Howard Dean used a similar line on today’s Morning Joe, calling Walker’s success in the recall “the beginning of the undermining of American Democracy.” Watch below:

Frankly, we’re not sure if this is a bad thing, considering that (as Glenn Beck has pointed out) America is a Republic, not a Democracy.

    Dead does not believe in American Democracy. He believes in the twisted idea of democracy that the progressives promote…it is not for the people to decide what is best for them, but for the state to decide what is best for the people.

      You’re correct, Dean doesn’t believe in Democracy but in the teachings of Karl Marx.

      One more time for Howard’s sake….
      The US is NOT a democracy, it is a Republic. We elect representatives. If Howard wants a democracy, he can move to one of the many failed democracies in the world, where leadership is by mob rule.

      Howies idea of the ideal government is to have him and his liberal friends decide whats right for the rest of us. The liberals will vote and then they will call that a Democracy. Howie is such an idiot, why does he get any say about anything, he hasn’t been “democratically” elected to any position in years.

      Well now, we certainly did not hear these complaints about money when the Union Thuggery began last year and 1/2 now did we? Altogether the Unions and their friends poured at least 63 million into this spectacle since it began. Sore losers! Wisconsin voters did indeed do the country a huge favor. There is hope, but not the smarmy kind. Tea party people, you are to be congratulated for your excellent ground game! You really went all out knocking on doors, talking to people, informing them of the good that was happening in your state. I’m not sure how you did it except through blood, sweat, and tears. You guys are truly awesome! Thank you, and thank you again. You are the trailblazers!

      Exactly….great point

      “It has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity.”

WE finished it. That‘s how it’s going to be. Thousands of people throughout the USA sent $ to WALKER… YOUR UNIONS spend 20 M to get him recalled. ooops. 20M they can load into Obama’s race…think he’ll need it? What I want to know about people like you is where is the personal warning bell? Isn’t there anything inside of you that says: This is all a bunch of lies ? ?

    Who could remember Howard Dean’s out of control, “nu-castrati” performance at during the 2004 presidential primaries? The guy nearly had the nomination sewn up when he let his hair hang down so to speak and demonstrated his infantile liberal crazy act. With that in mind, is it any wonder that he agrees with the hysterical flailing jerk who was interviewed last night over the Walker results? The guy’s a complete wheenie!

    This whole Walker being re-elected is simply a front and center ‘tell all’ about how disconnected the media is from the people of America. Sure they represent a very small few, but on a grander scale they do not.

    The media caught lots of Americans hook, line and sinker during last year’s election with Obama. I very, very, VERY highly doubt they will win this time.

    When legislatures hide and go out of state to avoid having a quorum, that is undermining democracy. That was the Democrats. No public unions should be allowed whatsoever, there are sufficient safeguards in the civil service regulations. In Florida and I assume other states union officials are running for office for school boards, fire taxing districts, and other elected positions. That is a direct conflict of interest but they never recluse themselves. You cannot work for the government and serve in an elective office at the same time. Obama’s appointments of union goods to the NLRB was a disservice to every person paying income taxes. He is supposed to represent all the people not just liberals, progressives and unions. I believe Obama should be impeached and tried for bribery.
