Howie the Scream cries "Evil"

Howard "The Scream" Dean, on conservatives:

"Moderate Republicans can't stand these people (conservatives), because they're intolerant. They don't think tolerance is a virtue," Dean said, adding: "I'm not going to have these right-wingers throw away our right to be tolerant."

And concluding his backyard speech with a litany of Democratic values, he added: "This is a struggle of good and evil. And we're the good."

Is it just us or is there the strong smell of demogogery bordering on "hate speech" in this? "I'm not going to have these right-wingers throw away our right to be tolerant?" What does that mean? Is it a threat of some sort?

And if Howie the Scream is so tolerant, why not start with the toleration of dissenting political viewpoints, instead of their demonization.

Words have meaning, people, and Howie and his people bear close watch in the days to come. Recommend you read the entire report.
