Sen. Charles Schumer Slams the Hard Left

The Salt Lake Tribune reports on comments Senator Schumer made to political reporters:

Schumer says he has concocted an imaginary average man and wife who are mostly content with their lot but are disturbed by high crime and other neighborhood problems, and don't see themselves as part of a particular group.
He suggests they don't buy into the old class-warfare concept, which fueled the growth of the party in FDR days. His imaginary couple, Schumer says, are glad people can get rich -- so long as they don't get hurt in the process. But they don't like to be preached at either, he seems to be saying, observing at one point that "the hard left has a moral eliteness that is obnoxious."

Democrats sometime say the most amazing things.No word yet on whether the New York Times will start using the phrase "hard left" to describe tenured professors and "community activists".
