Think Again: The Contours and Context of the Conservative Class War in Wisconsin

Eric Alterman, February 24 piece at the Center for American Progress' website.

For those who'd like to see more backup on whether there is class warfare going on in our country.

CAP has a reputation for being sort of the Democratic bullpen/government-in-waiting since John Podesta got it going a few years back. I think it is interesting, and possibly significant, that CAP would permit someone to publish a piece at its website, sure to get a lot of attention in the blogosphere given Alterman's many tentacles, that uses the phrase "class war" in its title. It might be tempting for some to see them as largely just the 2.0 version of the DLC in its approach to the union and class issues, even before the DLC went out of business. But I think that was never true. And it may be becoming less so by the day.
