Markin comment:
Every presidential candidate
worth his or her salt (and vice-presidential candidates as well) should
consider it an honor and a requirement to run for high office by being arrested
as described below following in the tradition of Socialist party candidate
Eugene V. Debs in 1920 when he ran his campaign from the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary.
And why was Brother Debs in prison? For opposition to his generation’s imperial
war, World War I. The one, to remind everyone, that was “to make the world safe
for democracy.”
And here is a challenge, post-election challenge, to
the candidates of the major bourgeois parties, Democrat Barack Obama and
Republican Mitt Romney (or is it the other way around?). Why were you not at
that demonstration and subject to arrest for a righteous cause? They are more likely to be subject to arrest
for other more heinous crimes.
Barack Obama for his war crimes
against the peoples of the world and Mitt Romney for simple tax evasion and
being stupid and greedy in a public place. And tell everybody that is what Debs
would say too.
