Howard Dean Insults Disaffected Democratic Voters in Charlotte, NC


Howard Dean's Southern bus tour ran into protesting PUMAs and other alienated Democratic voters in Charlotte, North Carolina this week. Dean's bus tour purportedly aims to register Democratic voters.

That mission did not stop Howard Dean from insulting the 2 dozen disaffected Democrats who showed up to publicize the wide-spread desire to have Hillary's name placed in nomination at the Denver Convention.

The top three insults hurled by Obamanians at Hillary supporters throughout the primary were 1) You're racist; 2) You're a Republican; 3) You're low class, or ignorant white trailer trash.

Howard Dean managed to denigrate the disaffected Democratic voters in Charlotte, North Carolina with two out of the three insults.

Speaking to reporters later on his bus, he dismissed the protesters. “I'm not sure all of them are Clinton supporters,” he said. “Some of them are having fun at the Democrats' expense. I think shouting through somebody's speech is low-class.”
