When the left gets out in the streets no one sees or listens not even
our elected leaders. When a few right wing nuts get out in the street all of a sudden all attention is upon them. They get national press and their concerns are viewed as sacred. How will we ever be heard?

1. Hey...Don't Tread on Murdoch
or GE

or Kingdom Holdings


Just because they control most of our broadcast media doesn't mean they will use it to advance fascism, does it?

2. the corporations own the media.
its already started, corporations own what we can see or hear. anything that profits them is all that they care to show. wonder why we see Haiti and not Afghanistan? corporations profit off wars. thats why you cannot see it.

7. The Corp/moderate mindset has convinced otherwise libs/lefties that their perceptions are "loony"
Any substantiative institutional analysis that susses the game is, of course, immediately relegated as "conspiracy theory," and weak minded, ignorant, disinformed people are terrified of abiding a viewpoint that has harsh social punishments attached to it.

9. When the Left gets into the streets, they are nice and mostly orderly
One can palpate the anger on the Right. It is never discussed
but IMO, the Right inculcates fear because it is out of character
for them to protest. There is a fear they will become violent.
When those from Va, say we are trying the ballot box, we have
not yet tried bullets, there is a reason.

Let's be honest here since the 60s the Left has been willing
to sit down and shut up. The Media and everyone else do not
take the Left seriously. They believe--let them cool down
and they will fall into line.

The very fact that the Teabaggers displayed some really racist
biggotted signs emphasized their anger. Take your political
correctness and shove it. No one was willing to cross them
from Media on.

Every serious Pundit has told us over and over. Intensity
and Passion win, period. The Right has the Intensity and
Passion. The Left does not. We will gripe and move on.
Expect, therefore the Right to rule the day. Intensity
and Passion wins. Look at the House and Senate. The
GOP has the confidence, Intensity and Passion. The
Democrats on the Hill have "We are not like them".
The GOP is practically running things. Passions
and Intensity rule.

10. You are 100%correct!
All of the Demonstrations and marches we attended and posted could only get a mere clip or two by the media. They tried to portray us a leftwing nuts who didn't matter,they even tried to downplay the number of people who were there.

In reality these are the American people a variety of all different types of people not just caucasians like at the teabagging parties..
