Why Dean Was Right

To the Editor: I have listened today to the firestorm created by Howard Dean's remark about appealing to the "guys who drive pickups with confederate flag decals on them." I am appalled not by Governor Dean's statement but by the ridiculous misinterpretations of the remark by right wing talk show hosts and the other Democratic candidates for president. I have known Howard Dean for most of my life and I can tell you without any doubt whatsoever that there isn't a more inclusive individual in American politics.
