I listened to the recording earlier this week. I don't entirely agree with the angle much of the media is taking on the story, but the language towards this child was irredeemably ugly. Accusing the kid of being a prop is going to leave a scar on this poor kid.

Is the term "the left" proper here? Democrats are now the only party in many ways and thus encompass all variety of folks, some of whom want to actually represent the people, but some who use want a position of influence for one reason or another. In a place such as California this may have been the case for a lot longer. Are the LA council properly described as "the left" --ie. are they progressive and countering of monied interests (to use shorthand). In any case, I think we are all seeing that an awful lot of politics is suspect and a magnet for some of the worst people. At the moment we seem to be stuck with the system and this is not the time to look to "the right" for sure....

Who would have thought that the supreme court would have shitty people, but there you go.
