He was part of the "progressive caucus" part of the international. Evil people go watch Dr Zhivago a couple times.

Not sure what this means. Like I said I despised Wellstone's philosphy, yet I don't doubt that he truly believed in what he preached.

Wrong as he was, I don't believe he was one of the true evil ones. I'm glad he's not in the Senate, but I could never celebrate his tragic death.

I think it's this kind of good vs. evil stuff that was on display at Wellstone's memorial/rally that cost Mondale the election. There are those on the other side that are truly evil, like the Clintons. Many of the Dems have adopted the worst of the Clinton characteristics. There are some that are merely just wrong thinking. I always viewed Wellstone as one of those.

I think the word "evil" is used way to much, and it is losing much of its meaning. Those who truly feel compassion, and were hurting after the death of Senator Wellstone are not "evil." I don't believe the Clintons, flawed though they are, (aren't we all) are evil either. I think the world would be so much better if we stick to issues and stop throwing epithets around. Let's save the word "evil" for truly evil people such as Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hitler.
