Nation endorses wanker Mark Green for NYC mayor

[Nathan Newman]

Yes-- all to the nice rhetoric, just as Bush is a "compassionate
conservative."  What policies that Green is proposing- other than expanding
health care for children, jailing abusive cops, defending labor unions right
to organize, and expanding affordable housing - do people find so
objectionable.

I remember meeting with Doug near his home a couple of years back and he
noted that a few years earlier, we couldn't have sat at the cafe without
being harassed by street people.  He noted this as a sign of Guiliani's
repression, but he also enjoyed his latte as well.   It would be politically
stupid by Green to announce that his prime goal was to reverse every result
of Guiliani's policies, including enjoying lattes at street cafes, instead
of saying, as he has, that New York can enjoy safer streets without the
excessive repression and police brutality that florished under Guiliani.

Or is it a sign of progressive policy now to campaign for dangerous streets?

"Just as Clinton and Blair learned from Reagan but remained center-left
leaders, I will keep the best of Giuliani's policies and go beyond him."
