Howard Dean on Eric Cantor's Embrace of "Fascism" Comment

Thursday, March 26, 2009


Howard Dean explains why Eric Cantor made a big mistake embracing this caller's comment.
CALLER: But what really is scaring the rest of us, the other half of us, is the fascism. I mean the true fascism that is happening in this country today. […] The belligerent takeover of a one-party system. […]
According to Howard Dean, what Eric Cantor and the Republican leadership continue to do is "play to the hard right." The problem for them is that this strategy alienates moderates, who hear the Eric Cantors of the world and say, "what are these people talking about?" The bottom line, according to Dr. Dean, is that "you don't [win over moderates] by calling people fascists and all this other kind of business." So, keep up the good work, Congressman Cantor (and others), we Democrats appreciate it greatly! :)
