Jesse booed 4 not be progressive enough?

[angee_is_mad]

I am listening to Air American right not and a woman said that Jesse Jackson was booed by the crowd for not being progressive enough. Tell me it isn't so!

When progressives boo Jesse we have a problem, a big problem.

1. Jesse is practically a member o USA Next. (Booooooooo)

2. Are you serious?

He is usually cheered. Is it his personal life or what?

4. On Mike Malloy

A caller said at a march he was booed by progressives and communists.But Dean is like the second coming to this party.

It just makes you sit back and scratch your head.

3. Unfortunately the far left of the party feel they can make the party

reflect exactly their views - even when the party has never done that (it has always been a mixture and the fiscal conservatives - the ones who think you cannot ignore markets but otherwise try and be progressive in programs - have always been there). Nader got 1% of the votes in the last election.

This is bad. We either choose leaders and follow them. Or we loose our big tent. And loosing the plurality of people who believe government should not be representing all the needs of the elites will be the end of us.

Are we sure this is not some freeper Dupe stuff? Cause if it is true.. it is really sad.

6. Good point.

Republican extemists long ago learned that you can't make everyone reflect your views.

So instead they forced them on everyone, lying, using fear, infiltrating and spinning the whole way. Bleech.

8. If you get together under a big tent and say 'we will try and put programs

in that help people' then you can get elected. If you put so much as one "let us get rid of corporations & markets" in your platform..then you get 1% of the vote and you never get into power and you never change a dam thing. That is Nader thinking. And Nader would rather see George Bush in power than the Democrats. And he is so wrong. But he doesn't care. He lives in a Utopian culture of ego and has followers.

What are the followers getting out of it if they are told that we don't like markets (markets created the middle classes - 10,000 years ago and kicking elites out of making all the rules of markets in the last few hundred years has resulted in huge middle classes where ever it was tried). Nader ignores that.

I for one would exactly like to know what it was that Jesse said? Was he talking about the culture of irresponsibility? Probably. Was he talking about getting rid of Affirmative Action? I doubt it.

7. can you tell us where exactly he was ?

where was he when he got booed ?

9. Sorry, I caught the tail end of it

but it was at a recent march or protest. If anyone can give more info it would be great.

Evidently the woman who called in was at the event.

[proud patriot]

10. Sounds like something the protest warriors would try to pull off

They like to pretend and play dress up , don't ya know :hi:

[angee_is_mad]

11. You think?

that many? I'm not sure how many there were, but the woman made it sound like it was a very vocal bunch, so I would assume that there had to be many there who were booing.
