Reply #36: Well, I disagree [View All]

No surprise there.

First of all, the "Little Hitler" crack is an adolescent low blow. Are we supposed to dislike Hillary Clinton because some disgruntled people call her "Hitlery?" Didn't think so. :P

Second, I did Wellstone's campaign and I marched in parades with him and I did the State Fair booth, and I personally collected six hundred dollars in one day for Walter Mondale and delivered it to the Kaplans at their house for him, and I knelt down and cried on Paul Wellstone's grave in November, missing him, and fearing no one would ever come to fight for us and for real people and against the corrupt powers-that-be like he did. And then I found Dennis.

Thirdly, Paul Wellstone was the only Senator to be part of the Progressive Caucus, chaired by Kucinich. That's meaningful.

It certainly doesn't foreclose the possibility that Paul Wellstone sought out and joined an important progressive group chaired by Howard Dean, except he didn't.

There are few people I hold in a light even remotely comparable to Wellstone. Russ Feingold. Tom Harkin. John Conyers. Jim McDermott. Barbara Lee. Dennis Kucinich.

Howard Dean? Not even close.
