Talk:Leonard Pitts

"Progressive" could be considered a euphemism for "leftist", especially in this context. Perhaps change the opening line to "Leonard Pitts Jr. (born October 11, 1957) is a left-leaning progressive African American commentator, journalist and novelist." 69.49.67.186 (talk) 20:28, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Progressive is a euphemism for "liberal", not "leftist". Leftists are radicals like Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin. And saying that he's a 'left-leaning progressive' is redundant. More importantly, what about his chronology? How did he get from California to Miami to Maryland? Couldn't someone write a paragraph about that?~E.S.~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CD9B:E9A0:5560:1889:FD95:84E (talk) 04:19, 21 January 2016 (UTC)


 * "Progressive is a euphemism for 'liberal', not 'leftist'."
 * Garbage. "Progressive" is a euphemism for "leftist." The only question is whether the "progressive" in question is a socialist or a communist. "Progressive" has never meant liberal. One hundred years ago, John Dewey was an open socialist, and he called himself a "progressive." 2604:2000:9046:800:D30:6333:2D4F:F256 (talk) 06:59, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
