Howard Dean to Dems: "Don't ever answer tough questions"

As we all know, lots of events talked about on the Net are overhyped. This next one isn't, and it's one of those things you absolutely have to see to believe.

It's a vid of former head of the Democratic National Committee and Dem presidential candidate Howard Dean giving a lecture to a group of students in Austria on how Dems can defeat the GOP and conservatism in the U.S.:

Just don't answer any questions you don't like.

One of the solutions--talkin' about immigration-- is Don't let them set the agenda. We always do this on the Left. We're too damn honest. We think we have to answer the question. You don't ever have to answer the question.

You should answer the question that they should have asked you, not the one they did ask you.

And the one they should have asked you is the one you *like*.

We're gonna talk about what we wanna' talk about. We're gonna talk about jobs, fixing the health care system, balancing the budget. And you can't trust the right wing to balance the budget. Because all they care about is the banks. They don't care about *you.

[Smiles broadly] Now tell me that's not gonna sell in Austria, 'cause I think it will. It sure as hell is gonna sell in the United States.

[voice raised and spoken as single words:] Change the subject! Make them talk about what *you* want to talk about. And be relentless. Don't let anybody else set the agenda, ever. You don't have to respond to them.

Wow.

This is the governing philosophy of liberals and Democrats laid bare: If someone at a town-hall meeting dares to ask you why your pet theories and programs don't work, just change the subject.

And this is exactly what we've been seeing at town-hall sessions staged by Dem congresscritters: They parry tough questions with "This is *my* meeting, not yours, and you're out of order." Sometimes a beefy security type with a menacing look looms over the questioner.

What do you suppose the reaction from the MSM would have been if Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman had been caught on tape giving the exact same speech?

But since it's a Dem saying this, no air time whatsoever, and no print stories. (The speech was made in May of this year.)
