I found this clip on the BraveNewFilms Homepage and I have to say I think he makes a ton of sense here.


PS---For non-boring Super Tuesday coverage, check out www.theyoungturks.com and or http://bravenewfilms.org/network . They will be simulcasting awesome progressive coverage with TYT and other co-hosts (in the past it's been Wes Clark Jr, Christy Harvey of MicCheckRadio.org, Robert Greewald of BNF and more). If you watch at BraveNewFilms there are some cool features such as live blogging, live polling (of viewers) and a live chat. And as always, they have awesome progressive guests (and yes, even some MSM guests), ranging from Sam Seder to people from DFA, Media Matters, Firedoglake, Campaign For America's Future, The Nation, Newsweek and many, many more.

Seriously though, just watching the election coverage through the TV Talking heads is a questionable prospect (I doubt they'll be especially honest, insightful or funny). Even the NPR coverage, while informative, can be dry and boring. And the TYT/BNF coverage gives you up to date poll results on election days because they can see what ALL of the networks are saying rather than just the *one* network you would normally watch.

The New Hampshire coverage reached over 50,000 viewers, so clearly people are responding to this new format. Support progressive programming if you really are tired of the mainstream media!

2. Here, Here !

As a "Former" Edwards supporter, This gives me some hope .

Obama read my mind on the Scape Goating of immigrants.

You Go Obama, And don't forget John Edwards when you get elected .

3. Nice job by Obama

to turn his back on the struggling black community and he wondered why blacks didnt think he was black enough.

4. I Couldn't Disagree More

There's a difference between "turning his back on the struggling black community" and buying into *false* reasons for why the black community is struggling.

If anything, it's good for the black community because the first step after diagnosing the problems is figuring out the *correct* reasons they exist so you don't waste your time on non-productive solutions.

5. Seriously...

Stop watching Faux News. It's bad for the logic.

Very brave to stand up there and say what he believes rather than pandering.

6. That's a joke, right?
