Sirota: "...refuting his insanity"

there seems to be more than enough insanity to go around...

Who really is “out of sync with the American public?”
You make the call:

"The activist left is out of sync with the American public." - DLC leader Will Marshall on progressive efforts to prevent a military escalation in Iraq, LA Times, 1/10/06

VERSUS

"The American public in general opposes the concept of an increase in troops in Iraq. A number of polls have shown that when given a choice between a set of alternative ways of handling the troop situation in Iraq, only about 10% of Americans opt for the alternative of increasing troops. The rest opt for withdrawal of troops." - Gallup Polling Company, 1/9/06

Someone please tell me why the media continues to quote people like Will Marshall as a credible voice with a credible perspective? I mean, honestly - what point, what level of sheer, unadulterated dishonesty disqualifies you from being quoted in major newspapers? And perhaps even more importantly, if a major agenda-setting newspaper like the LA Times insists on quoting someone with no credibility, how can they do so without even as much as a mention of the actual public opinion data refuting his insanity?

we've seen some incredible disasters with bush as president, preventable disasters that he obviously had no desire to prevent... tonight's speech and what he is planning in iraq has to qualify as the pinnacle of gall... flaunting the will of the american people at this level of magnitude is truly beyond belief... if we sit still for it, we are worse than fools... we will be selling out our own country in the most malign definition of treason...
