Marathon Pundit: Green Party makes political threat against Rep. Schakowsky

Tom Mannis has an a great video up at The Bench where some of my congresscritter Jan Schakowsky's fellow travelers on the Left, in Mannis' words, got together at "a reunion in Chicago of some aging S.D.S. alumni, socialists, and self-proclaimed communists."

And Green Party members.

They have targeted the Evanston Democrat for defeat in the November general election--which is a good thing. The Greens are a menacing and nasty group, and they're flying under the radar wrapped in their cuddly, "Save the Whales" image they've cultivated over the years.

Anyway, in Tom's video, there's a guy speaking who perfectly exemplifies the Greens. His long gray hair is turned up into a bun--like his party, he's hiding something.

Because anti-war Schakowksy isn't anti-war enough for them, this grey-Greenie urges the other people in the room, including the fidgeting moderator, to choose a Green Party ballot in the February primary, and then says, "This is not a vote against Jan Schakowsky--it's a threat."

It's enjoyable to see Schakowsky feel some heat from people other than Republicans. She needs to go, but it'll take a lot of money--and a couple of election cycles--to topple her. And word needs to spread through Illinois' Ninth Congressional District that this self proclaimed "Fighter for families" is a Leftist extremist.

Certified loon Cynthia McKinney will also be on that February 5 Green Party ballot in Illinois--as a candidate for president.
