(1,499 posts)What Lewis, the Teamsters and other "acceptable" Ellison supporters said and NO ONE called it a "smear."
Now it's a "smear?"
Hmmmm?
Do you want a definition of "new direction?" Let me repeat what I posted earlier (slightly edited):
We should be the party of the black, the brown, the gay, the poor, the worker, the non-Christian, the women seeking freedom and all the other oppressed and we are the party of the less oppressed but decent people who stand with us. We owe them COURAGE.
We owe the white suburbanites we've targeted for more than 30 years with "welfare reform," "crime bills," "wars on terror," "capital punishment," etc. only to have them turn around and vote en masse INCLUDING WOMEN for the greatest threat to freedom we have seen in our lifetimes . . . we owe them . . .
