Tim Wise: Of Broken Clocks, Presidential Candidates, and the Confusion of Certain White Liberals

[Luminous Animal]

36. But alll those liberal Paul supporters are a simply not named...

I admire Wise. I have for many years. But, he's simply off the mark with this one.

He says this: "Yet to the so-called progressives who sing the praises of Ron Paul," but doesn't mention who these so-called progressives actually are.

And he says this: "Yessir, legal weed and an end to the TSA: enough to make some supposed leftists ignore everything else Ron Paul has ever said." Who are these supposed leftists?

And then this: "I want those of you who are seriously singing Paul’s praises, while calling yourself progressive or left..." What progressive or leftist is going to respond to him when they have no clue as to who he is accusing of singing Paul's praises.

And this: "that you claim to be progressive, and yet you are praising or even encouraging support for a man..." C'mon Tim. Give us a clue. Who are these progressives that are praising and encouraging support for Paul?

It's damn sloppy writing. Not only does he being coy about mentioning names, he's not even giving us examples of any of his accusations.
