Whole thing, since I got some tight-arsed comments:
Just let me say that Kos got it wrong. Hackett being pushed out by machinery of a party that supposedly represents me is screwed and blunderous. Who the hell is Sherrod Brown? I don't give a goddamn if he's a good guy, that's fine, but Hackett was a PARTY HERO and an awesome individual. This is the year of the fighting Dems and Hackett was fighting Dem NUMERO UNO.
Talk radio callers have been generally outraged and sometimes nearly in tears. Hackett was stolen from the voters by party hackery. It wasn’t up to Schumer or anybody else to decide, it was up to the voters in the primary.
Sherrod Brown? With a name like that he’s quite likely to continue the Democrat tradition of getting their asses kicked in Ohio. Paul Hackett was everything that the movement Kos and others have driven have been talking about. It wasn’t about being a big liberal, it was about being an unapologetic Democrat, and Paul Hackett didn’t apologize for shit.
The people responsible for this had better understand that the days of such tactics are numbered.
