Dean: "This is a struggle of good and evil"

Another inflammatory comment from Howard Dean, the most quoted man in the blogosphere:

Howard Dean - February 25th, 2005

"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."

In other words, they'll tolerate everything except intolerance.

Hey, I didn't say it made sense.

Howard Dean - February 25th, 2005

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."

Emphasis added, though it certainly jumps off the page on its own.

Isn't this a domestic variation on Bush's much-derided "you're either with us or you're against us" doctrine?
