Reply #2: Lindorff is still repeating an untruth in that article.....and he gloats.

"The "mainstream" Democratic losers like Rep. Rahm Emanuel and Sen. Charles Schumer, who want the Democratic Party to remain a top-down, hollowed-out shell of an organization incapable of challenging Republican power, are frightened silly by the groundswell of public sentiment for impeachment, and for ending the war in Iraq. While Dean, as DNC chair, may be trying his best to shift the party in a more progressive and oppositional direction, they are busy undercutting progressive candidates for office, financing "acceptable" candidates (who are likely to lose their races), and preventing independent action and confrontation in Congress ala Feingold's motion."

He was written to personally about this misstatement, by many people. The Opednews where he first wrote it was contacted, no answer.

It was explained that the DSCC and DCCC had the role of choosing candidates....

Then he gloats because Dean asked him to print the truth:

"But it is a good sign that Chairman Dean is asking for a correction. It's a sign that the grassroots rebellion against Democratic Party complacence is having an impact. "

Oh, gee, Lindorff, you print wrong things, you are asked to correct it, and you think it is sign of getting to the bad Democrats.
