Looks like Howard Dean missed out on an opportunity for the Sister Souljah moment which had been predicted. (Via Instapundit.)
Maybe Dean’s not as smart as I thought.
(Or, maybe he’s as reckless as Karl Rove thought….)
Souljah of misfortune?

That was not even funny accidentally. People cussing doesn’t shock me but I don’t call it satire either. I’m more disappointed with Dean by the minute now. Attacking Mary Cheney for being a Lesbian? Attacking Condoleeza Rice for being the most powerful black woman in U.S. history? I said shortly after 9/11/2001 that the Left filed Chapter 11, and it’s becoming more true every day.
Someone once wrote in the 1970’s that “the hate content” of the Left was increasing as it became the “Late” Left. How true. The ideology of the Decline of the West is itself in abysmal decline. Makes me nostalgic for the days when Communism was at its peak and William Z. Foster (I think it was) assured us that “Communism is 20th century Americanism”. Now it’s “Hate AmeriKKKa”.
Leftism is increasingly the epitome of the “slave morality” described by Nietzsche, nihilistic, devoid of values, worshipping weakness and hating any show of strength (except by terrorists). Note how they love Jews — but only as victims. They hate Israel and “Zionists”. Dean Esmay noted that if black Americans had their own nation, it would be large, wealthy, and powerful. And I replied that today’s Left would find some reason to hate it. If homosexuals had their own country, and it was wealthy and militarily strong, today’s Left would find some reason to vilify it. The men’s men would be denounced as “male chauvinists”, the Lesbians for whatever other reason.
I read that article on the way to work this morning. it was classic. no…classical.
