Crossfire - Novak links GOP/White/Patriotism"


Begala/Novak today.

Novak was braying on about Howard Dean and Democrats in general being subhuman creatures. Then he made an incredibly boorish remark.

Marginally appropo to the current discussion, Novak opined to the effect that Dems were in trouble in the "White South", because Republicans were the party of patriotism.

(Novak is SUCH a dickweed.)

Begala shot back that Dems were the party of civil rights and SOME people didn't like that. heh.

It was a tense exchange... Begala's hackles had gone up at Novak's statement, as did mine.

Novak needs his nose pushed into his own poodoo when he spreads it that thick.


I love our boy Begala (who did some time in Austin, Texas.)

and found later

Found the excerpt on Eschaton. xox Atrios. patriotic WHITE South. GRRRR

NOVAK: You know, you can give that old -- that old -- those talking points any time you want, Paul. But the fact is, your party is in bad shape in the white South. And

(CROSSTALK)

BEGALA: Why is that?

(CROSSTALK)

BEGALA: Why is that?

NOVAK: It's because it's a conservative, patriotic area.
