I don't see how the Howard Dean entry is an example of hate-speech directed against African-Americans, though since my edit was reverted I assume some people do.  From my POV, it seems to be aimed against the Republican Party, rather than African-Americans.  Not least since the quote was from a speech he gave in front of the African-American caucus according to the supporting citation.  Now I know Mr Dean has a history of self-destructing on the campaign trail, but even he isn't *quite* that stupid! I realise that any quote is open to a degree of interpretation, so if someone reads it as offensive hate-speech, I respect that, but I'd prefer if they explained their POV  --[[User:J00ni|J00ni]] 12:13, 6 July 2008 (EDT)

:The implication that I saw from Dean's quote was that Republicans are racist, which by and of itself is a lie.  [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 12:19, 6 July 2008 (EDT)
