Mixed Reactions, disingenuous perspectives
From the Harvard Crimson, about the moderate Mr. Katami who just spoke there.
Anyone want to take bets on which groups were most supportive of his visit?
Hint: it wasn't the Christians or conservatives.
Further: Clinton's meltdown is just entertaining, and Pelosi and Rangle's comments about Chavez struck me as noteworthy and honorable... until Rangle's commented that Chavez deserved praise for making oil available for cheap to poor, and chided oil companies for not doing the same. Considering that this is only possible because Chavez nationalized and stole the refineries and pumping sites in Venezuela FROM those same companies over the last two years, it kind of takes away some of the virtue of the act, donchathink?
That, plus Rangle and Pelosi just so happen to NOT be up for re-election, and as such are immunized from their voter base against their comments. Anyone notice if any Dems that ARE up for re-election or campaigning for election made similar comments?
