I see you got a more receptive audience at JPR. https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/a-false-claim-about-heath-mello-in-a-front-page-diary-has-been-corrected-thanks/

You didn't even stay around to defend your thread this morning on Kaine. https://www.democraticunderground.com/10028970608

I look forward to your full throated defense of women's rights in the future. I know it must suck that your candidate for mayor has a shitty track record on abortion. Not nearly as bad as Kaine and a license plate....I mean that's is what your point was this morning, right?

IMHO you falsely smeared Tim Kaine in some completely misguided attempt to "save"Bernie.

It was totally out of character for you.

You are a good man and I was totally taken by surprise that you would draw such absurd false equivalencies.

Bernie doesn't need saving. He does not need to be protected. He's a tough guy and can handle criticism.

He does not need you to smear Tim Kaine.

It doesn't "help" Bernie in any way, shape or form.

That being said everyone knows you are pro-choice.

Evidently we didn't get enough of this level during the primaries so we have ordered up a second mid/pre election round.

I am sitting this one out just as I did during the primaries. When we get back to building a united front to take on the evil that endangers the country give me a call.



When reaching the Sixth Circle of Hell, Dante and Virgil see heretics who are condemned to eternity in flaming tombs. Here, Dante talks with a couple of Florentines – Farinata degli Uberti and Cavalcante de’ Cavalcanti – but he also sees other notable historical figures including the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II and Pope Anastasius II. The latter, however, is according to some modern scholars condemned by Dante as heretic by a mistake. Instead, as some scholars argue, the poet probably meant the Byzantine Emperor Anastasius I.

a united front would be a nice change moving forward.

Or we could keep fighting over minutiae and wonder why we can't win a seat anywhere lately.

previous post and one which panders a false equivalency. Oh and I forgot, if you understood a uterine ultrasound, you would know just how fu**ing useless and unnecessary these are for women who will have abortions. Says the woman WHO HAS HAD TWO UTERINE ULTRASOUNDS, TWO ABORTIONS AND HAS A DEGREE IN NURSING. And the ultrasounds were not for either abortion. Even when i had an abortion to save my life. So you should probably put a sock in it.

You were fine to post what you did about Sen. Kaine and I would add that you left out some of what he did during his stint as chair of the DNC. When moderates who oppose abortion finagle their positions into dragging the Democratic Party to the right, conscientious people should always speak out. It is our Party and our opinions count.

You stand with millions of dedicated Women Activists the country over who have been wary and had their sensors trained on men like that for years.

Don't let any of the newbies get to you; we're all in this together, it's gonna be a hard row to hoe and solidarity is what matters most considering what we're presently facing in this country, the world.

DU will always love you!
