Night of the Living Danes
This week's Isthmus has an interesting and noteworthy editorial on the Dane County Democratic Party and Progressive Dane's prolonged, systematic use of the organization. It even goes into the history of the Democratic Party's problems with far-left infiltration and how that's been dealt with before.
