Markin comment:
Look, I like to protest out in the streets, for or against, lots of things. Against war, militarism, the death penalty, and so on. For immigrant rights, abortion rights, May Day and so on. What I don’t like to do, although other leftists are more than free to do so, is take precious time out to picket right wing bourgeois politicians like Sarah Palin. Or in the old days, George Wallace and Ronald Reagan, for example. Yes, these guys and gals are awful politically but as I have been trying to put stress on lately to protest them tends to make it look like you are giving political cover to the Democrats. And, frankly, today for those of us who are realistic about our short term political prospects and necessities of accruing young cadre by taking them away from our main enemy who is none other than a hard Democrat, Barack Obama. Sure, aim your fire at the right- but make that the Obama/Palin right and the capitalist system they jointly, and fervently, defend and will defend to their last breaths.
