Some backbone

It seems the Democrats (at least in Alabama) have grown a little backbone. They have essentially blackballed former candidate for State Attorney General Larry Darby from the party. An arrogant Holocaust-denier, he has the audacity to proclaim that "[t]hey're censoring me for having the wrong views." DUH. To be a member of a political party means you subscribe to the party's views. This is Political Science 101, folks (and why I never got the whole Log Cabin Republicans thing). That this jackass would imply the censure was prompted by anything beyond his odious views is ridiculous. And the party is certainly not denying him his right to run for office or to express those views. Just not under the banner of the Democrats. Good for them.
