Short Description:

Are progressives too intent on winning? A look at the fluoridation campaign.

A strong win by opponents of a ballot measure to fluoridate Portland's water supply demonstrated that a grassroots movement could turn back a well-financed political campaign. But the fluoridation issue's splite of the city's progressive community revealed something else: the speed with which that community could be polarized and each side demonize the other. This week, Dqve Mazza looks at these disturbing aspects of the fluoridation campaign, whether they reflect deeper problems with how progressives advance their beliefs, and if progressives are too intent on winning.

Well-read Red, Frann Michel, reads an article from the website of Solidarity, a socialist-feminist-antiracist organization, and adds some comments at the end. The article is about Assata Shakur and the government's recent campaign to smear her as a terrorist by naming her one of the FBI's most wanted. The situation bears an uncanny similarity to what Cara Dugas was saying just a couple weeks earlier about labeling environmentalists as eco-terrorists.
