Maybe we are naive, but we have always thought of progressivism -- in its ideal form -- as gender neutral. Men and women, people of all faiths and colors join together to promote the common good, peace and justice.

BuzzFlash has long championed the equality of people regardless of race, gender or religion.

John McCain and Hillary Clinton are spouting a "summer gas tax relief" in the same way that Marie Antoinette cried out, "Let them eat cake."

Nothing more profoundly and disturbingly symbolizes America's subtle racist double standard than George Stephanopoulos's question during the Philadelphia debate to Barack Obama: "Do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you do?"

Dangerous or Laughable?

It was no surprise that Limbaugh would call for riots at the Democratic National Convention in Denver to embarrass the Democrats. Limbaugh -- and his fellow purveyors of hate on the airwaves -- are dangerous demagogues whom pro-democracy Americans too easily dismiss as poltroonish shills for the entrenched powers.

U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Patrick Fitzgerald

The notion that Hillary Clinton has been fully vetted is about as credible as the notion that she can be fully trusted. As P.M. Carpenter points out in his commentary today, Clinton has reached unprecedented polling numbers in the number of Americans who don't trust her: nearly six out of ten, according to a recent Washington Post poll. Furthermore, her negative attacks on Obama have resulted in her negatives, which were already sky high, soaring far faster than his.

It is almost incomprehensible; it is such a brazen abandonment of progressive principles and such an embrace of Karl Rove tactics.

If you are a Chicagoan, as I am, you know that Richard M. Daley is the voice of the lunch bucket working class men and women. In fact, I used to be involved actively in an advocacy issue and would talk to Daley while sitting next to him at fundraising functions, and let me tell you (they were off the record as far as details) that he's a tireless advocate for many progressive urban issues (gay rights, education, gun control, the environment, etc.), but he's also someone who can speak bluntly of the "family values" Reagan Democrat, because his heart never left the former working class Irish enclave of his birth in Chicago: the Bridgeport neighborhood. (It is now largely Mexican, Italian and Irish -- and he has long ago moved out.)

So what does Mayor Richard M. Daley have to say about the Clinton campaign's relentless attempt to smear Barack Obama with a dishonest, ludicrous "Weathermen" connection?

Add this to Senator Hillary Clinton's list of craven pandering: she doesn't believe Al Gore won the 2000 election, even though he beat Bush by 542,000 votes and beat him in Florida, except that the Supreme Court stopped the recount.

We’ve been so worn down and numbed by more than seven years of outrageous and extremist Bush Administration behavior that revelations of the worst excesses now pass us by like distant storm clouds.
