not sure about your message. I’m leaning towards the pass the bill, and improve side, but your choice of messaging is totally wrong. you know someone else who would agree? Jane Hamsher:

good grief. the nytimes had judith miller — the dc bubble reads her.

MSM had a lot to do with the iraq war — not just fox.

I actually think that the left can benefit from closer asociation with right wing activists in one sense. That is to learn the ability to transform collective indignation into collective action. And this motivation is of course immensely important in order to advocate for any cause.

If there is one thing we have seen is the disproportionate influence the right is able to command just on their ability to raise hell. I think we too can benefit by raising a little more hell in advancing our cuase.

Why is that so hard for Wall Street to understand???

Simple if you are not in the cliche you and your life mean absolutely nothing to them! You are part of the masses of little people who’s lives are easy for them to dismiss period!

Of course it’s still going… apparently, I’m not alone in my extreme level of disgust, frustration, and anger about this “sell out” bill. This is insane; we’re talking about peoples’ LIVES here! People are MORE important that profits… Why is that so hard for Wall Street to understand???

Holy smokes, this is still going! Yeah, the chaos. The folkies got the squirts, didn’t they. I’m sure hoping that when the shock wears off here everyone can come together to stop this descent into slavery. Unregulated capitalism falls into slavery faster than the twin towers fell. Actually at the exact same speed; freefall.

In response to newscorpse @ #651
There is no reason to go on Fox News, period.
Even when Barack Obama does it?

Yes! Scroll to the bottom of this article.

There is just as much of a chance that the “progressives” shouting “kill the bill” and “join the teabaggers” are shills for the industry, too.

well done Jane. Very few people have the guts to stand up for what they believe until the last moment.
