Robt Greenwald on Hartmann:No one on our side speaking with anger

[Doctor_J]

We have a lot more to be angry about than the wingers, but we're not.

well, I guess Rahm is angry at the "liberal interest groups". But besides that...nothing

1. actually, my experience is many Dems are really angry and scared, and hurt,

and feeling betrayed.

I think it's healthy. Anger let's us know something is wrong, a boundary has been violated. The sticky place is what we DO with the anger.

I have seen and experienced personal attacks on DU from fellow Dems. That's anger/fear I think. But, wrongly placed/projected/unheld.

3. Yes there is a lot of anger on the left

I am angry that Rush Libaugh has a place on Armed Forces Radio, I am angry that we still have 130,000 Combat troops in Iraq, I am angry that we have allowed the wing nuts to control the agenda for more than a decade. I am angry that true "War Criminals" such as Bush* and Cheney and their entire Cabal will go Scott Free. I am sure many on the left share in some of this anger but we still remain Civil. We will talk in a rational manner on each and every subject and not just try and shout down our opposition..There is a difference. :shrug:

4. Yes but their anger is directed at Obama instead of the real threat

Which goes to show why we've been losing for 30 years and will continue to do so.

2. The top-down signal to trivialize and keep it 'light' is a HORRIBLE stratagem.

It intentionally downplays the significance of what's happening so that biz as usual prevail$.

5. Not angry; incredulous, maybe.

How can people be so stupid? And be so angry and proud about it? Wow.

6. another thought... Dems are not somehow "protected" from anger. Perhaps wishful thinking????
