Mr. Kerry called Dr. Dean's statement "craven," "pandering" and "the worst kind of politics as usual." He said, "I'd rather be the candidate of the N.A.A.C.P. than the N.R.A., who understands that the Confederate flag belongs in museums."

An aide to Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, Craig T. Smith, called the remark "irresponsible and reckless." Senator John Edwards of North Carolina said, "to assume that Southerners who drive trucks would embrace this symbol is offensive." Mr. Gephardt issued a statement saying he planned to "be the candidate for the guys with American flags in their pickup trucks."

And the Rev. Al Sharpton said the Confederate flag "is like the swastika to a Jewish person," adding: "I think those people that wave the Confederate flag must be confronted by people who want to be president, not embraced by them."
