Why does the media keep calling grassroots Dems against war and for

[jpkenny]

peace "the fringe?" The media is not even trying to hide their RW biases anymore. The one thing that Lieberman's defeat tells me is that grassroots Dems are going to fight to keep the party from being hijacked by neocon-DINOs who place higher priorities on reshaping the ME to benefit the oil barons and military-industrial complex instead of trying to shape the US to benefit working Ameircans and the most needy among us. If peace and sharing our wealth and protecting our earth are fringe issues, then count me the "fringe."

1. Because to the DNC and the DLC, we ARE "the fringe"

Those pro-war, pro-corporatist career multi-millionaires are all "moderates" and "centrists," after all. And where does that place us?

3. Yep.

If Bushlickers like Joementum define the "center," then most registered Democrats are actually "the fringe."

2. The so-called "LIBRUL MEDIA"

is the most frustrating thing in the world. Most Americans are against this war. Are they "fringe," "leftist extremists," too??? Democrats ought to be fighting this charge. I'm so sick of hearing about how we're out of touch with Mainstream America. It's a lie. It's sickening and disgusting. Most Americans agree with OUR point of view!!!!

4. According to a recent poll..

..just shown on CNN International, 60% of Americans are against the war.

I guess that makes a majority of Americans "grassroots Dems". Shame on these pseudo-Stalinist liberal war-haters!
