It's crunch time for Dems/Lefties/"Progressives"

Will they heal the festering sore that threatens to consume them, or will they continue to ignore it, at the peril of their complete marginalization politically, socially, and economically?

Noteworthy:

"So it's not just Senator Obama who is stuck with Mr. Wright today. We are all stuck with a rageful Left, which really wants to destroy rather than to build. They mentally rehearse perceived injustices over and over again, and they blame this country for all the evil in the world, including AIDS in the black community. They never look at another side. Many have no honest conception of other countries, other cultures, or other points of view. They are not balanced people."

....as well we know from their work in the media and in the blahgosphere nationally and (particularly among some notorious examples) locally.
