Which right wing is this?
Says some boring legislator:
California Assemblymember and movement activist Jackie Goldberg, D-Los Angeles, urged students to resist apathy and become more politically active.
“The right wing is trying to create a mythology that we were better organizers, more politically active than you are—and that is hogwash,” she said.
Umm... umm... umm... I'm pretty right-wing myself, and I don't recall that one. In fact, considering that it's a liberal complaining about apathy, you would think the theory that "those old guys" were more politically active than we are belongs to the left-wing. Anyway, I'll be happy to resist apathy when you give me something worth caring about.
“There was another lesson that arose from this place 40 years ago. And that is ordinary people can make an enormous difference—the only thing that holds you back is you believe you can’t,” [Howard Dean] said to the energized crowd.
Why, you can become president, if you really want to.
“I’ve seen pictures of rallies from the ‘60s,” Leybovich said. “And being here, you wouldn’t be able to differentiate one picture from the other.”
Color?
