In reply to the discussion: Krugman slams centrists [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)...IS relevant when ONE is pretending to NOT understand.
You:
"whatever point it is that you are trying to make."
If 9 random people understand,
and ONE claims confusion,
the PROBLEM is either poor comprehension or willful ignorance with the ONE.
I love the Congressional Black Caucus.
They are true Democratic party HEROES fighting in the trenches.
I STILL hurt for that day in 2000 when they gathered in Unity and went to the Senate to protest the stolen election in Florida,
and not a single Democratic Senator would STAND with them or even acknowledge their valid concerns.
Boy, was THAT a low point in the history of the Democratic Party.
There IS a malodorous history of the CBC having to fight their battles on their own over the last 20 years.
Conyers being relegated to a basement room to hold his Impeachment/War Crimes hearing without a single celebrity "Centrist" Democrat offering assistance or even acknowledging the battle he was fighting,
and that is only one instance.
There are others.
How many members of the CBC or the Progressive Caucus were given a position on Obama's cabinet,
or appointed to any position of authority and power on ANY White House committee or organization?
But the CBC are heroes and Democratic Party soldiers.
They WILL bide their time and bite their tongues, a survival skill learned over centuries.
They WILL put on a Public Face of Laughing it Off,
but NO intelligent human being can fail to observe the tone and language used in that Awards meeting.
You claim to offer facts, but you don't.
You offer only conjecture, opinion, and wishful thinking.
You STILL have FAILED to respond to my challenge:
IF this type of language had been used to "rally" the Blue Dogs to get with the program on Health care Reform (among many other issues) it would be no big deal,
....but he hasn't.
<snip>
"until YOU can produce a single occasion where the Blue Dogs, or ANY other conservative Democratic caucus or group were chastised with the same tone and language,
ALL your frantic rationalizations, diversions, pretend obtuseness, and Ad Hominems amount to nothing. "
Well?
I stand by my post.
You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses, rationalizations, diversions, Logical Falacies, fantasies, wishful thinking, dodging, smoke screens, and willful ignorance.
