I know absolutely nothing about the group, but if this is any indication of who they are and what they are about, they suck.
Of all the ways this group could have handled Ygelsias' criticism, this has to be the absolute worst possible choice. Getting his employer to hijack his blog and post a detailed "apology" to the group? Are you kidding me? What is this, high school?
If you want a lesson in what not to do with new media, this is it. Prior to this, I'd never heard of the group. Now I know one thing about them, and its very, very, very not good. The apology post calls them "key leaders in the progressive movement." For the sake of the progressive movement, I hope to god that is not even remotely true.
UPDATE: You really have to read the comments section of the post. Hilarious!
