There are some Kerry supporters here (and former Clark supporters) who are total progressives for whom I would crawl, hands and knees, on broken glass but sorry my friend- not all of them.

The Democratic Party's tent may be large enough for SOA/NED apologists but mine just isn't. Like the Rachel Corrie mess, I just don't see myself standing with people who thing her death was either warranted or an "accident".

People like you are A-ok in my book because you think. That's all I want. DU used to do that. Right now, DU is dividing between people who think and people who just regurgitate propaganda.

It has nothing to do with Kerry. Though I personally am not warm to him (because his speeches have me balloting between warm enough and cold), I have respect for those who are warm to him. I just hate shills who see no evil, hear no evil. Once again- you are not one of those.

DU if it keeps going like this will collapse because what made it famous was that it was progressive and left-wing. Nobody hates "just another Moderate Dem" site- that's no threat to the establishment. DU and its progressives are.

As more people swarm here to shut us up or tie us up in meaningless arguments, then the greater the solace of finding a place like PFP where we can spend more time discussing & advancing and less time arguing with (insert your own word here; I've seen some of them in the past- they're all acceptable ;) )
