David Axelrod on Chelsea's attack on Bernie: "It wasn't an honest attack"

132. Is it not great that the people are not dumb? The Washington talking heads were so wrong.

The people understand when issues are presented honestly and straightforward as Bernie and Elizabeth Warren portray. The American people only look dumb when they have not had sufficient access to the truth. If given correct information, the American people can make the right choices. Our history lessons are replete throughout school with right wing propaganda. As W.E.B. DuBois told us, after the civil war we all became slaves, white and black alike, when the white rich capitalists of the north joined with the former slave owners of the south to exploit the resources of the south. If you really want the truth about our history you should read Howard Zion's "A People's History of America", a book a former right wing governor of Indiana wanted college courses using this book to be non-credit. It also discuses the positive role socialists have have had in eliminating barriers to women and African Americans in joining formerly all white male unions. It carries you through the Clinton presidency and addresses the impact of Bill's policies. It is a great read for those who want the truth.
