I started posting on HowieinSeattle in 11/04, following progressive American politics in the spirit of Howard Dean's effort to "Take Our Country Back." I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.
Howie P.S.: My initial reaction was that Howard was "caving," but I am coming around to his point of view. Glenn Greenwald had a "video discussion" with Dean and his two part video is here.
I might be more inclined to "come around" if Dr. Dean stopped calling it a mosque. It is NOT a mosque. It is a 13 story community center--like a YMCA or JCC--that the organizers propose to include a 9/11 memorial, an interfaith chapel, pool, gym, classes including cooking, and prayer room for Muslims who live and work in the area. It is NOT a mosque.
