Family Squabbles
I think this is an important opinion piece, which looks at the far left, and its eat your family attitude- frequenly turning on those who support the environnment and safeguard civil liberties, as Connelly says, for not being radical enough. I have seen similar scenarios play out as individuals are judged not perfect enough to run for office as a democrat. as If all those republican high school drop-outs are perfect.
Cantwell's vilification by left is bizarre: "With President Bush sinking in the polls, and chances of an independent Congress on the rise, the left fringe in Seattle politics is noisily sniping at Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell.
It's bizarre, but not all that unusual: Our 'Hey Hey, Ho Ho' crew is notorious for giving conservatives a free pass.
Instead, the loudest leather-lunged protests get reserved for those in public life who -- awkwardly, sometimes imperfectly -- try to preserve the environment, protect the consumer and safeguard civil liberties."
