| Description | At the opening session of the convention, the delegates were shown a video tribute to a young College Democrat activist and military reservist who died fighting in Iraq a few months ago. Three minutes into the video, I spotted Storm leaving in disgust. "I had to walk out of there. That was disgusting--it was like a tribute to imperialism. They said he died fighting for freedom. What freedom was he fighting for? He died fighting for imperialism. Is this a Republican Convention? It was sickening me," he fumed.
Didn't you think the point was to show that Democrats--like Republicans--are also loyal Americans who are willing to fight for this country?
"He wasn't fighting for this country. He was fighting for oil."
So, have you won anyone over to Kucinich yet?
"No--but ask me again around 3:30 this afternoon." |
