Just for the record, as a progressive, I totally disavow David Brock and his propagandist, lying, thieving, grotesque band of thugs and pedophiles. The "progressive" movement has nothing to do with him, though he is clearly trying to co-opt the word. He is a menace to all that is good about humanity! There are millions like me, who want this vile creature to disappear down the sewer whence he came.
You're not nearly ashamed enough if you still find yourself on that side. Your belief in the power of the state is what makes abuse possible. How anyone can defend the Obama or Clinton administrations is just baffling
you're shooting from the hip. you can be a small government progressive. You havent stopped to figure out what sandy008 means by progressive
And at the end of the day, both left and right have uglier instincts we both need reminding of. Right-Hitler Left-Stalin
Neither Left nor Right will eternally have the moral ascendancy, and over decades those who were once in the right will slowly then suddenly be in the wrong. And that will be no different for the current resurgence of the Right. Enjoy your moment in the sun, but in the years to come, remember to guard against your own excesses
Actually Hitler was a National Socialist which was nicknamed Nazi. Which BTW is also on the Left. The Left really is much much "uglier" than the right. I do understand that average people on the Left are often well meaning, But they're also naive and don't realize they're being used. I have no use for either the GOP or DEM parties.
you want a mass murdering leftie, stalin is the better candidate. While nazi initially stood for national socialist, true, hitler corrupted it and with prescott bush's big money men had a distinct right-wing flavour come 1940
The Left just can't accept that Hitler is much closer to them than he is to anyone on the right. We on the right just want to restore individual freedoms.

I think Podesta is closer to Caligula than Hitler. But as he isn't ever gonna be Secretary of State, I guess we'll never know!
