There was no "viral" back then really, not anything like today. The problem was, his camp wouldn't just shut up about it, kept it in the news.

They never stopped talking about it when it was brought up, were overly defensive about it spewing explanation after explanation, excuse after excuse. And it just kept feeding it and kept it in the news. Dean even went on Letterman calling it a "crazy red-faced rant." This is a whole chapter today, on how to handle media crises. Ya clam up about it and stay focused on the issues, and it goes away. This was the entire lesson learned from the "I have a scream" gaffe.
Keep in mind Dean had already just lost the Iowa caucus before the scream, and wasn't expected to do so. He placed third, pulling only 17 percent which was way off from what his own internal polling showed it should have been. So he was already in trouble before the scream. Instead of focusing on why he lost and fixing it, his camp stayed focused on this gaffe and how to explain it away. Giving us several different explanations and excuses for it over the next three weeks instead of sticking to the issues.
I don't have some way to remember it, this is how it was. It's a CASE STUDY today, in how NOT to handle this type of thing.

True 'dat. Ancient history all. Unlike, say, slavery in the US, which requires daily offerings in the form of five hours of prime time DNC/MSM hate.
Now, I'm sure all of the Perry detractors here who have branded him an terminal idiot can tell us just what a shining light of intellectual prowess and personal probity the admire as a politician who isn't a ******? Bernie Sanders? Al Sharpton? Hillary Rodham Clinton? Louis Farrakhan? Harry Reid? Nancy Pelosi?

So, we now know you don't bother reading.
ALL campaigns learned that when something like this happens, STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AND INSTEAD STICK TO THE ISSUES when this shit gets brought up. Don't spend three weeks FEEDING IT with all different stories and excuses starting with calling it what it was, a "crazy, red-faced rant" then saying it was laryngitis, a bad microphone, all that. Just clam up about it and it goes away.
That was the lesson.

Perry is kind of a cling on. You can never trust a person who puts criminal aliens a head of citizens
