The event program states the reason he received this award: “For courage, inspiration and tenacity; for the hope your life has given to all who care deeply about shifting from a system based on greed to one of generosity; for caring enough to highlight important topics in political debates thereby giving voice to issues that affect most Americans, including standing up against banks as early as the 1970s; for consistently elevating peace and justice issues throughout your life of service; for truly representing the best interests of the American people and the world, and for energizing others to join you.”

Who cares what DK has to say? What has he done? He ‘speaks truth to power’, you say? That and a buck will get you a coffee at the quik stop. In most instances that I can think of, after much speechifying he has put party unity above all of his ‘truth’, including this wretched parody of ‘health care’. He made ‘brave’ stands which only serve one purpose, to keep so-called progressives in the Democratic corral. If he really believed what he says he would not be part of the treacheous Democratic Party.
Nowadays he pals around with Ron Paul, a manifestation of the growing conjunction of libertarians and liberals, not so distant cousins, petty bourgoise idealists all.
DK is part of the problem, not the solution.
