DEAN PROMISES 'IN-YOUR-FACE' RESPONSE TO GOP
Mon Jun 20 2005 22:18:01 ET
In a defiant speech at a party fund-raiser in Boston, Democratic
National Committee Chairman Howard Dean vowed Monday to continue his fiery
critiques
of the Republican Party and followed up with a pointed jab at Vice
President Dick Cheney.
Fresh editions of the BOSTON GLOBE report: "We are going to be much tougher and in-your-face with the Republicans when they say things that aren't true," Dean said in an apparent response to criticism outside and inside the Democratic Party that he is using over-the-top language to rally his party.
Dean also responded directly to Cheney, who last week said of Dean, "Maybe his mother loved him, but I've never met anybody who does."
"I don't care if Dick Cheney likes my mother or not, we are going to fight back," Dean told a boisterous crowd of about 300 Democrats at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel. "I think it's great that Dick Cheney went after me. At least they know there's a Democratic party that's not going to put up with this stuff anymore."
He added: "As the head of the Democratic Party, I will not be lectured about morals by Tom DeLay and Rush Limbaugh," referring to the House Majority Leader and the prominent conservative radio host.
