Kamala Harris: "Fierce Prosecutor" vs the "Progressive Activist" & Lara Bazelon's Big Fail

[Hortensis]

5. Interesting, but calling Bazelon liberal is wrong and insulting.

Liberal does not mean radical, and not all those on the left are liberal. The more extremist people become, the more dishonest they have to be to support what they believe and usually the more ruthless they become in pursuing their goals. Thus the less some on the farther left are able to respect and live liberal values.

Not that we're perfect, but concern for fairness and justice, as well as respect for truth and the ability, willingness and even desire to be honest are characteristically stronger in liberals, sometimes much more. When they're much less, as with Bazelon and her ruthless, relentless, and dishonest attacks, liberal is definitely the wrong label.
