Proof our media is far from liberal


This picture was taken this weekend at the annual Kansas State Democratic Party gathering in Topeka. It was in this morning's Topeka paper.

It's not like they didn't have many other pictures to choose from: http://spotted.cjonline.com/photos/index.php?id=4446613

6. the banner actually reads "dirty dozen"
but I cannot remember which groups are in the "dirty dozen", although they always have a room.

8. Dirty Dozen are the anti-environmental GOP lawmakers targeted in November
Edited on Sun Feb-28-10 06:43 PM by blm
Kerry brought this effort back - environmental activists had used it to some success in the late 80s and early 90s.

3. It's a republican tactic
They have convinced the right that the MSM is liberal, and so any negative things in the MSM are simply "LIES" by the "liberal" media. It works, and it is just another tool in the brainwashing process used by the right wing. It is obvious how well it works by all the gullible people they have in the republican party. No matter what the "facts" are if their leaders tell them something they buy it without ever check to see if it's true.

4. why I don't mourn my local paper dying
i got sick of this crap day after day, broken by occasional journalism. i was supposed to be upset that they went bust.
:nopity:
they bit the hands that fed them. i felt betrayed.

next up, the Democratic Party majority, just watch.

10. I thought I saw you are the Progressive booth
but didn't say hi. I wasn't sure it was you. I should have stood out, being the only guy there not wearing a suit and tie. I skipped the Progressive Caucus meeting because it was too darn early in the morning with a 90 minute drive.

11. Lots of guys were not wearing ties.
I hung out in the hospitality room and at the YD table downstairs. Sold a bunch of buttons.

We hate that early time but no matter how many times we ask, they never change it. They also give us a room that is never big enough for our members. We usually have more members at our meeting than any other caucus.

The best thing about the weekend is we got the state party to approve a resolution we wrote. It addresses our concerns about a lack of candidates and the party going out of state to contract services. It was a big victory.
