Oh, great, now Jonathan Alterman on Countdown lectures the left

not to be too demanding about the public option..compromise with a co-op

Don't be so demanding, you guys.

:mad:

makes him an expert on what's "good for you".

radicalism we have had to put up for too damn long. We are not the problem.

So he does not understand what is truly happening, even to some out there with insurance!

BTW, it's Alter...

Since when does Jonathan Alterman take the Republican line?

What can we expect from a guy who wrote this:

Time to think about torture

In this autumn of anger, even a liberal can find his thoughts turning to... torture. OK, not cattle prods or rubber hoses, at least not here in the United States, but something to jump-start the stalled investigation of the greatest crime in American history. Right now, four key hijacking suspects aren't talking at all.

Couldn't we at least subject them to psychological torture, like tapes of dying rabbits or high-decibel rap? (The military has done that in Panama and elsewhere.) How about truth serum, administered with a mandatory IV? Or deportation to Saudi Arabia, land of beheadings? (As the frustrated FBI has been threatening.) Some people still argue that we needn't rethink any of our old assumptions about law enforcement, but they're hopelessly "Sept. 10"--living in a country that no longer exists.

Go to this link if you can stomach reading any more of his drivel.

this is the trouble when we give up half our ground before we even start negotiating. But isn't it Jonathan Alter, not to be confused with Eric Altermann?
