Before you attack a progressive commentator (none / 0)

like Keith Olbermann on a progressive blog like this one, why don't you restrain yourself. This is an intramural pissing contest and little more. NOW isn't necessarily right because of who they are anymore than Keith Olbermann is necessarily right because of who he is.

I read the NOW list and commented on it elsewhere. Not everything that criticized Hillary was sexist, as the author of that list seems to portray it. If you define sexism down that way, then you make it only a tool for a personality cult.

As Jerome referred to Keith Olbermann (none / 0)

as a wanker in waiting..A progressive leader is somebody like Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Gore Vidal, or in previous years somebody like Martin Luther King Jr or Pete Seeger or John Henry or Susan B. Anthony...You need to get your Progressive hero role model a calibration.

Mr. Olbermann's progressiveness is illuminating when he encourages some "man" to take Hillary Clinton in an enclosed room and make sure he is the only one who comes out..His continuous sexist remarks against female actresses are also very illuminating..

You need to get educated on NOW's background..Good luck...

I didn't say leader. (none / 0)

I said commentator. And please don't assume I don't know the history of NOW. I'm a gray-bearded baby-boomer, dude.
