First they came for George McGovern...

...and I said nothing.

Then they came for Michael Moore and Glenn Greenwald and I said nothing.

Then they came for Paul Krugman and Matt Taibbi and Cenk Uygur and I said nothing.

Then they came for all the folks at the NY Times, The Progressive, and The Nation and I said nothing.

Then they came after every person that called themselves a progressive and I said nothing.

Then they came for me and there was no one to speak up for me.

Is there any progressive that the moderates and conservatives have not criticized and crucified??

Party they claim at the moment. Personal destruction, it's what's for dinner. They don't criticize ideas they attack persons. And groups of people, of course.
