Michael Lerner is such a jackass. This is the opening of his latest sermon:


> Why I Disagree with Hedges and Nader on Obama
> By Rabbi Michael Lerner, Editor of Tikkun and Chair of the Network
> of Spiritual Progressives
>
> Many of the specific failures highlighted by the article I sent out
> yesterday by Chris Hedges criticizing the performance of the Obama
> Administration are legitimate points. But the way Hedges's
> positions are stated, and the conclusions drawn from them are not
> the path of spiritual progressives, in my view. There was too much
> anger in his statement overshadowing our spiritual progressive
> commitment to compassion and a spirit of generosity toward others
> with whose politics we disagree. And not enough sympathy for the
> problems anyone would face trying to get elected as President and to
> repair the damage of the past 30 years.

Too much anger? Fuck you! How's that for anger management?
