Darn right. I heard Jessie speak at the Nov. 12th demonstration in DC,
and he said more-or-less all the right things. I understand that McGovern
wanted to come but was sick and so couldn't make it, and the rest of the
Democrats weren't interested. Too political for them, no doubt (genuine
Walter Mondale Liberal White Hack Democrat types detest real politics
and real democracy; they'd rather talk about money). It is the perfect
metaphor: dear old George meant well, but couldn't quite make it, and the
rest of them neither mean particularly well nor have a chance of making
it against Reagan, since they are essentially trying to play his game
by different rules. Jessie means well, and he ain't fooling around. Maybe
that is why so many "liberals" think he is "too political" or "too
opportunistic": he's not a nice tame Uncle Tom Oreo Cookie. That probably
scares them. Well it should.

Run, Jessie, Run!
Venceremos!
