Isn't the Air America radio cruise a little out of touch, or am I wrong?

[AndrewP]

I see that they push this cruise every year to smooze with Air America radio hosts where you can wine and dine.

I can be wrong here, and have never been the type to tell people they can't enjoy themselves, but isn't that a little off message for what the "progressive" (LIBERAL!!!) movement is supposed to be about?

Like I said, I'm not tossing a grenade here. Maybe just a pebble at their window.

1. people are allowed to vacation. Progressive does not equal Puritan.

I just hope they don't get that nasty virus that occasionally strikes cruise ships.

[AndrewP]

2. It doesn't?

Damn! What have I been doing with my life. :party:

[ColoradoMagician]

3. Is the OP referring to the environmental impact?

Help us out by telling us how you think it might be off message.

I wouldn't go because of the virus thing.

5. Times are tough. We are in a serious time of crisis. Let's go on a cruise!!!!

Like I said, I'm not married to this concept that it's off message. It just strikes me as a little odd.

But as stated on here, it's probably good $$$$ for them, so.....

6. These cruises are planned out way in advance

as in at least one year.

4. It's a big fundraiser for them. They make lots o money they need.

The environmental impact sucks tho.

7. LMFAO At Your Definition Of "Progressive"!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

What a hoot!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[AndrewP]

8. It's just a question

Try not to be an asshole about it.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

10. It's Just An Answer. Deal With It Noselifter!

Can't go on vacation if you're a progressive. What a hoot!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

9. No it's all the OTHER peoples' cruise ships that contribute to

global warming. Honest mistake.

11. Rather like selling tickets to a Champagne-and-Caviar Brunch Meeting to discuss local hunger? nt

12. Hi, welcome to DU and your concern for the (LIBERALs!!!).

"Progressive" doesn't mean poor & pious.

13. Isn't the K-Love Friends & Family Cruise also wrong then?

K-Love's a supposed non-profit organization. They have an agenda to push too, and they need to raise funds.

I have absolutely no problem in either of these organizations organizing and promoting essentially a vacation package to see some "celebs".

Mark.
