To be fair to Julian Bond and his message at the Take Back America Conference, which I quoted yesterday, I should also include what he said about Democratic politics.
And what about the opposition party? Too often they’re not in opposition; they’re an amen corner. With some notable exceptions, they’ve been absent without leave in this battle for America’s soul. When one party is shameless, the other can’t afford to be spineless.
(Speech [.doc ], June 2, 2004)
I wouldn't want anyone to think Julian Bond was indulging in Bush bashing for its own sake.
