Okay, I’m officially “not amused”

After checking out this video (opens in Real Player) that floridagal pointed out, I’m not in a “popcorn” mood any more. She writes

Please watch the C-Span video from 2005 where the head of the 527, David Jones is talking about taking out Howard Dean. He kept saying their goal was to take Dean out.
…
Jones appears at 2:57 minutes in and again at 3:20. It is truly alarming.

If you can’t view the video, check out How Beltway Democrats Sank Howard Dean, which includes much of the same information.

Click here for the “Contact Us” page on Barack Obama’s web site, if you’d like to politely point out to Senator Obama that hiring someone like Robert Gibbs, who worked as a spokesperson for a 527 organization whose sole purpose was “taking out” Howard Dean from the flies in the face of his claims that he wants to “change the tone” in politics.

Update: More on this group in madfloridian’s journal at Democratic Underground and this article at Center for Public Integrity: Political Mugging in America Anatomy of an “independent” smear campaign.

    Hi Renee,

    I’m a day late and a dollar short, as usual. This is a great idear. Count me in. I hesitate to ask that you add DAFD to the blogroll, since I’m so lackadaysical about posting there. OTOH, this might drive interest in it.

    Anyway, I would suggest another possible catagory: Veterans & war wounded.

    This is another of your great idears.
