Any comment from nat'l DEM leaders re. Robertson?

I'm particularly interested in the reaction... or non-reaction... of war supporters like Hillary, Lieberman, et al.

Does silence = consent? Is this ( assassination of *twice- elected* leader of *democratic* Venezuela) a-ok, also... like the war?

Ahhh... such *leadership*!

1. I'm so inspired by such leadership.

2. Jesse Jackson

Liberals, however, were not silent. The Rev. Jesse Jackson called for an investigation by the Federal Communications Commission, just as it did when Janet Jackson's breast was exposed during a Superbowl broadcast. "This is even more threatening to hemispheric stability than the flash of a breast on television during a ball game," he said.

3. Yeah... I saw that. Good for JJ. While he's at it....

he should ask the FCC about the disposition of the case of the Clearwater Comm. talk jock who speculated about how good it would feel to kill Michael Moore.

I wrote FCC at the time. Others did also. Don't know where the case went... besides dropping from the public eye?

Anyone?

4. Again, it appears that Dem leaders will not capitalize

This just gives more ammo to Nader's statement that the Dems and Repubs are just two branches of one party (at least as far as the leadership is concerned)

See this about Cindy Sheehan and the Dems:

5. maybe they are reviewing the polling numbers before revealing how they

'really feel.'

6. All I'm hearing are crickets chirping. nt
