Compassion and Fight: The Personality of Dennis Kucinich

[stimbox]

Detroit, Mich. – Dennis Kucinich can't get a fair shake, say his supporters. The media ignore him and the Democratic Party is unhappy with his insurgent candidacy. Corporate media are more interested in the personalities and maneuvers of the front-running candidates, turning minor incidents into big stories.

Just this past week NBC announced that despite meeting their earlier criteria for participation in the next presidential debate – finishing fourth in national polling – Kucinich will be excluded from Tuesday night's forum.

This inexplicable decision has his supporters in an uproar and sending thousands of e-mails to the media giant.

In a campaign stop in Michigan last Friday, the Cleveland-area representative seemed undaunted, however. Before an enthusiastic crowd of activist supporters, Kucinich showed a side to his personality and candidacy rarely portrayed in the media.

1. I'm an Edwards supporter, but Kucinich is a beautiful man inside and stands for everything good nt

2. He's a dynamic speaker, something the press choses not

to show much of. It seems if they give him any camera time at all, it's to docement his more ordinary moments. I saw him and his wife in person a couple of months ago when they visited my area.

3. I was always impressed by his energy & the way he relates

to the people he is speaking to.

Nice article.
