2. Didn't have to teach Kucinich, McKinney, Lee, Sanders, etc.
But he sure as hell taught the corporate media a lesson or two.

6. you are right.
i love sheila jackson-lee; maxine waters; conyers and so many who do speak truth to power. i do hope his example has taught something to those others who lack spine, even perhaps to the republicans like warner, specter, and those bush shills who treasonous sell the country to the bushes.

and, yes! may the corporate media keep the lesson book open and refer to it constantly. may they begin to tell truth to power!

7. It was good work, all these years have gone by
And its taken all this time for public opinion to swing from freepers slinging at us,
to a mianstream anchor reading out what we've read 1000 times here, a well written rant.

I'm glad he's on board, as appears to be everybody but the nazi republican commanders
themselves.. everyone else waiting for 2 years of sand to leave the egg timer...

Conyers, Kucinich, Fein.. there is enough room for as many as speak out.. and each
of us must push our own personal envelope, and then we all will.

9. We needed someone in the corpmedia doing this in 2000,1,2,3,4,5.
And to bring a few others along with him. Just a couple extra voices that spoke honestly and reoported the news straight would have been nice.
