The revolution WILL be televised! Like it or not. Please, let's DU
CNN, MSNBC, and even the ghastly Faux and say THANK YOU first for showing things the way they are and ASKING them to please continue such coverage, and not to let up on questions of what went wrong and accountability.

The MSM sucks, but it's the only way to reach a LOT of MSAmerica. The RW rethugs have used this resource to their advantage for long enough. THIS IS OUR CHANCE to spark some change, and let's not let it slip away. We criticize "The Dems" for not "pouncing" or being aggressive enough.

Let's use the master's tools to dismantle the master's house.

Who's with me, DUers???

2. For Once in a long time, I finally can agree!
Thank you CNN, MSNBC (haven't watched Faux) but might according to other DU posts tonight that even Faux is slamming the adm for the truth in LA/MISS & ALA!

Think I'm with you on this one, blonndee. Will they keep it up? Will they?

4. good idea but now may not be the best time to organize people.
Right now we are angry and in shock and running a lot of emotional energy -- trying to keep informed about what is happening.

Don't disparage if this thread doesn't get a lot of replies. Most threads aren't. We're all reading and replying as fast as we can, expressing our outrage and grief.

5. Why? This is the BEST time, it seems to me.
While we've got momentum and passion on our side. But thanks for the encouragement. If the thread dies I won't take it personally. =)

6. You forget -
there are a lot of bigots in America who dont give a damn that black
people - "those people" are starving and dying. As a matter of fact
they'd be rather pleased.
