Popular books bring Dems. back to their core principles

[workenstiff]

Non-fiction works inspire liberals to do battle

"Now comes a blast from the Democratic past: a resurgence of left-wing populism based in economic class. . . ."

"For two months, the hardcover lists in USA TODAY, The New York Times and Publishers Weekly have included satires, polemics and advocacy reportage from Michael Moore (Dude, Where's My Country?), Al Franken (Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them), Molly Ivins and Lou Dubose (Bushwhacked), Paul Krugman (The Great Unraveling), Jim Hightower (Thieves in High Places) and Joe Conason (Big Lies). Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed, which was a best seller as a hardcover book, now is performing similarly as a paperback."

"To look at these best sellers merely as revenge, though, misses the deeper and more significant factor. Different as the individual authors and books may be, taken together they espouse a renewed sense of class issues and indeed class warfare. Democrats are moving away from both pseudo-Republican centrism and identity politics to the sort of lunch-bucket economic concerns that built and for a half-century sustained the New Deal coalition."

Finally the party is coming back from its long adulterous affair with the right.

1. Right fuckin' on is all I can say.

That's a better meme than the "angry left" petard the right wing media is attempting to hoist us on. (Jeez, my grammar sucks tonight!)


'Bout Time, guys. Now let's do away with the DLC and get the hell back to our populist, working class roots.....
