Democratic Presidential candidate Howard Dean is coming under criticism from opponents over his comment that he was seeking votes from “guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks.” Rep. Dick Gephard accused Dean of reaching out to people who “disagree with us on bedrock Democratic values like civil rights.” The Rev. Al Sharptons said “If I said I wanted to be the candidate for people that ride around with helmets and swastikas, I would be asked to leave.”
