Media convergence testifies to power of speaking up about hate in this election cycle


This post at Tim Russo’s Blogger Interrupted demonstrates the power of people’s own words, all the way around.  Of course, I remain fixated on what it is that makes those words form in people’s minds and sometimes hearts and souls in the first place.  But that’s a whole ‘nother thing.

Please read Connie Schultz’s column as well.  Much like MN Congresswoman and Republican Michele Bachmann’s ludicrous suggestion that the people she believes are liberal members of Congress should be investigated to see if hey are anti-American helped raise nearly $500,000 for her congressional opponent, El Tinklenberg, Tim’s videos (and others like Anthony Fossececa’s at Blue Ohioan) have moved people out of complacency.

We are Americans – we get to vote and we get to speak and we should do both, because they are our rights, too.  Not just Michele Bachmann’s and not just people who are xenophobic.
