Pull off the blinders that have you supporting a particular candidate, while being blind to the bigger issue. If progressives are not going to have the guts to call out those who foster divisive talk, and demand their renouncement, no matter where it comes from, it's a bigger loss than an election.
Amen.

I do believe progressives should have the guts to argue back when they disagree, and argue strongly against what is contrary to progressive values.
I don't believe that we should be demanding renouncements. I think it's gotten out of hand and frankly I don't even know what it is for.. I think it is one thing to renounce an endorsement which seems to be a more formal connection and thus can be formally rejected. But I vehemently disagree with the notion of renouncing a person.. that goes too close (and maybe crosses a line) toward dehumanizing them which I believe is always wrong.
You are one of the few in the 'sphere that really understands what 'being progressive' is about.
Obama supporters, as a general rule, do not. Lemme paraphrase Henry Adams,
'It's about principles....not men.'
Keep fighting for what's right Jerome. Help is on the way. Those self-styled 'leaders' in the 'sphere are going to find out that drinking the Kool-Aide is....
Deadly.
Metaphor folks.
i disagree i think that we all understand what the ideals are, but differ on our appoach. I feel that regardless of who our nominee will be, we will not win the general now after such a crazy primary season. Oh well strike another vote for we are our own worst enemy collum that Jon Stewart keeps bringing up.
