Reply #122: Absolutely every attack on Kucinich I've seen on DU sounds totally like it comes from ...

[TahitiNut]

... the corporatist right wing. Every DU thread that maps DUers on the Political Compass places 80-90% of DUers to the left/libertarian near side of Kucinich ... which indicates that the vast majority of DUers agree MOST CLOSELY with Kucinich's stance on the issues. The 10-20% to the right/authoritarian side of him, and those who hide their positions, seem to account for the vast majority of attacks on Kucinich.

There is almost nothing more politically detestable to me than those who lack the courage of what they claim are their firm convictions - unless it's those who'd adopt a Quisling/Vichy approach.

It's bad enough to deal with the double-dealing and corruption of the profoundly corrupt neoconservative cabal without dealing with the appeasers and political saboteurs flying false flags.

It's absolutely NO ACCIDENT that the widening gap between the affluent and the impoverished has increased over the last 25-30 years under BOTH parties and that poitical support for working people in THIS COUNTRY has consistently declined. There's been no notable progress on civil rights for the past 30 years. The size of the prison poopulation has increased EVERY YEAR for the past 25-30 years.
