This was a huge rally FOR the Kerry campaign, that year's "lesser evil." Most progressives, eager for "anybody but Bush," gave the Democrats a pass in Boston a few weeks before the UFPJ rally at the Republican convention, to which Carl refers.

Giving the Democrats a pass at their prowar convention, then rallying at the Republican prowar convention with many Kerry signs held aloft, is not "demobilizing" the mass movement that needs to hold ALL politicians accountable?
