141. DU is just a subset of society.
Just because we are liberals doesn't mean we're all sugar and spice. Some are more compassionate than others, and FWIW some feel completely justified in their lack of empathy over Tim's death. I liked Russert for the most part, though some of his shows angered me. I thought he was the best of the commentators that did not cater to the left... such as Olbermann... I ADORE KO, but lets face it, he's squarely on our side. Tim, whether you agree with him or not was much less biased than many in the MSM. I think his political leanings have shifted over time, and his shows reflected that at times, but how many of us could have done his show and been 100% unbiased at all times?

Anyway, I am sorry you feel like you have to leave. I agree with you on some points, but I also understand that I don't have to like the beliefs, feelings, or behavior of fellow Democrats all the time. We're all different, after all.
