In reply to the discussion: Obama needs to call Arne Duncan out for his new tactics for special education students. [View all]woo me with science
(32,139 posts)I guess I was just surprised to see that headline coming from you, because the wording did sound like so many of the apologists who try to pretend that Obama opposes all of his most malignant policies and needs merely to rein in a few rogue actors in his administration.
I know you get it. You write more eloquently about it than most.
I consider the constant apologism ( not from you, but from the 24/7 propaganda brigade) to be extremely malignant and believe in strong pushback to any wording that suggests, even ironically or implicitly, that this garbage isn't coming directly from the top.
There is no way any of this crony corporatism ever gets solved if we aren't clear about what we're really dealing with here, which is broad corruption of our party, our elections, and our government by monied interests, up to and including the current Democratic White House. Sorry for the sharpness of my words in reacting to just these particular words and not to the clear and consistent body of your contributions here.
