LGF hate figure: Howard Dean

Charles Johnson doesn't like Howard Dean, one of the Democratic candidates for the 2004 US presidential elections. He doesn't like him because Dean is a Democrat, because Dean has some interesting ideas that don't quite fit into Mr Johnson's neatly boxed understanding of politics, and because Dean gets clapped at Arab-American conventions. Quoting an article (http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=8608_Dean_Panders_to_Arabs) from the right-wing Washington Post, Mr Johnson finds that the reason why Dean got clapped at the convention was because he wasn't Jewish. A bit simplistic. But reducing things to the simplest explanation is always a useful way of supporting your own point of view.
