David Swanson, a guest on the Ed Show?

Wasn't he an early DU'er? His name looked familiar.

Whatever, he was a very impressive speaker against this war.

He had a number of very aggressive detractors here that would always attack his posts. Unfortunately David Swanson didn't spend much time here to defend himself.

It's the loyalty to the Democratic Party that I find misguided.
Best,

Thanks for the heads-up, kentuck! Hope Ed asks David about Don Siegelman.
