"Progressive Democrats Defend Party Leaders" (with video)

At this year's Take Back America Conference, Congressman Keith Ellison
took aim at a debate that is dividing progressives when he told them
not to allow their frustrations with Congress's inability to stop the war
in Iraq to divide them. "You might be mad at the Congress because they
didn't end the war in six months, but I'm here to ask you for us to
not fall out over tactics and strategies." Ellison said it is right that
progressives should be impatient with the pace of change, particularly
when it comes to Iraq, "but don't turn your dissatisfaction into a
cannibalistic enterprise."
