2004: The scream that doomed Howard Dean

How was this a campaign killing event? 😭

Now there's a circus and a shit show every 2 seconds.

Joe

What was wrong with the scream?

So exactly what did he do?

This turns 20 years ago

And to think, now you can just straight up be a twice-impeached four-time indicted fascist and your career can remain unruined.

I never understood why people disliked the scream - I thought it was awesome!!
😎 👍🏻

Sounds like an insurrection in today’s standard. “We’re going to DC to take back the White House BYYAHHHH!!!!”

This is one of the best campaign rally speeches of all time. Awesome. Passionate, optimistic in the face of a setback.

This so called "scream" had nothing to do with his downfall.

His downfall was due to being anti-war. Specifically against the Iraq war. Powerful enemies had plenty of resources available to destroy him. If it hadn't been this so-called "scream" it would have been something else.

This was a great, inspiring speech. Especially given that he had just suffered a big setback at the Iowa caucus.

Anyone else here reminiscing the 2004 Dean screwjob by the media, after the December 2023 screwjob on Nikki Haley? The corporate media are a sick lot, and the people always take the bait.

The scream had it been used as a victory cheer would not have stopped him. It was the incredible narcissism and megalomaniacal yelling about all those states. Thank God he saved us from this evil.

And that was the end of it!!!!

howard dean was two decades too early

Thank you Dave Chappelle!!

HYAAHHHHHH

Hiiiii-YAAAAAH


EAYAHHHHHH 😂

We need a Howard Dean today.

I AM NOT GAY...........I HAVE NEVER BEEN...GAAAAAY

stupid. Shows the state of mind of Americans throwing the dude over THIS. Frankly, I am much HAPPIER with controlling elites running things. My god are people STUPID!!!!!

You went nowhere, lol. Unless it was on vacation.

Did this scream really damage his career? I'm from Europe and I just heard about this on Rogan's podcast lol I don't see why this would be a problem for him.

Crazy how that one moment of cringe flattened his whole life 💀

I never understood what was dooming about this speech. The passion was something I always appreciated.

Narrator: he gave up long before he went to these states.

I'm here because of Rick and Morty.

bump

Que churro!!! No puede parar mirando ese video porque yo quiero ir a los Estados Unidos ahora mismo!!

Beyah!...Its totally insane that this man's career was ended for something so small and silly, and now a man that broke dozens of laws, a man that stole nuclear documents, a man that while president told the nation that shooting up bleach might cure covid and after loosing an election tried stealing the presidency isn't out of the running.

Scream? ha, no way. I'm pretty much aware of politics, but I don't even remember him...maybe this was why. And to think he was censured for this? Totally disgusting and laughable... but then, I don't appreciate or follow much MSM...

Gives you an idea of how important "acting presidential" once was. Obviously, things have changed.

(I agree, though, it was really the media that gave this thing wings).

He was already losing and considered a long shot. His eagle scream just gave late night hosts and people like Howard Stern content for days and to the eyes of voters just wasn’t seen as presidential as Kerry. He was going to lose no matter what.

Anyone else here from a season 7 Rick and Morty reference?

I just gave a Howard Dean scream at the end of that MNF game when the Eagles lost

He was great in Breaking Bad

puts the wilhelm scream to shame imo

CNN should retitle this: "The scream that allowed us to character assassinate a leading Presidential Candidate"

Howard Dean was a good man and a better candidate than John Kerry who lost to one of the dumbest men to ever get elected President. I would hope that having "enthusiasm" is now no longer a capital offense in the eyes of the media because make no mistake: it was the media that clipped this and played it over and over without context to make him look nutty just because the DNC didn't want him as their candidate. We know this because Howard Dean wasn't appointed to a cabinet position while John Kerry gets appointed to repeat cabinet positions.

Thankfully, we have social media now so mass media can no longer abuse their control to the same extent. I think if you showed any passion for helping people as a politician back then, you were considered deserving of mockery & ridicule. The corporate media needed to disparage you because if you "cared" you threatened the pacification of a country that needed to be pacified so all the illegal wars could continue.

A modicum of fair analysis would actually assess this as a wholesome moment and he did some good things after: he was head of the DNC & founded the short lived organization Democracy for America, both helped Obama get elected in 2008.

His relevance totally vanished after 2016 when he endorsed Hillary Clinton.

I like the scream, yeaaahh!

the scream that gave bush a second term

Better than Biden or Trump

The scream that showed how doomed democrats are for being so weak that one scream can ruin a political career, where any indication of male passion and strength is deemed 'toxic masculinity' and immediately dismissed.

Ordinary Americans? You mean people who built a land literally on taking it from others. Ok 😂

I'm here because of Rick and morty season 7 episode 2. One of my favorite episodes now. His coarse yelling was a little much. But the yeah was funny.

The scream didn't ruin his chances, although it's pretty pathetic. What ruined his chances after this was he wasn't the establishments pick and they ordered their media to destroy him. The media did as told and played the scream ad nauseum until people got sick of it. YOU are being mislead and manipulated.

It’s hilarious that we set the standard so high that a screech like that would not be something America wanted in their leader. Compared to today, that screech is the least embarrassing thing in a political leader. Now the U.S. has bloke that runs the country and he doesn’t even know what year it is.

Dude was weird as hell

Wait, that's it? People in 2004 were harsh...

Imagine if he just screamed, “Grab ‘em by the pussy!”
