Once more -Thank you to the person who taped 47% and James Carter

You must have had the world's biggest smile on your face at 11:18 PM EST on November 6. We are going to go out with my friends on Saturday night for victory party and you will be the first toast. We can never thank you enough. We are all wearing blue.

4. I think the larger progressive sites should have a joint fund-raiser...

set up a trust account, contact David Corn or Carter and get the money to whoever recorded that.

5. Lets hear it for citizen journalism!

Fact is: if not for this employee taking the risks of filming and releasing this amateur clip, the election might have gone differently.

The other fact is that the MSM is incapable and unwilling to investigate or expose anything anymore, in lieu of spewing massaged press releases for 'access', and towing the corporate line for big bucks.

The 47% tape, and coverage of the Arab spring, OWS, police brutality etc further prove that we need citizen journalists, and a free and public internet, more now than ever.
