Re: Chicago Independent TV in October features Summer of Chicago Activism

Jesus, Laity, what a crock.. Use the search funchtion and look for any post advertising a fundraising benefit for John Kerry, or Ron Paul on this site's newswire.

You wil however find info on alternative and third party campaigns -- including Cynthia McKinney (the former Georgia Congressional rep who just happens to be a Black woman and a Green ) as well as commentary skewering electoral participation as a dead end. A pretty wide range of opinions and news items you won't find in the Trib Sun-Times, the Reader, or New City.

Still, if you are looking for a site that offers uncritical support for Barack, try Daily Kos, or Democratic Underground. You'll feel right at home.

BTW, pack the house, did you?

Re: Re: Chicago Independent TV in October features Summer of Chicago Activism

See, this is what I'm talking about. "pack the house, did you?" What a mean little shitty thing to say. A lot of people who believe in something worked on a grassroots level to put together the Poets for a Better Country reading despite people like you hoping that it would fail. Why do you have to be so god damned insulting. How do you ever propose to reach people and expose them to your point of view with your Indymedia Love It Or Leave it attitude? All you are doing is preaching to the choir, and what good does that do? You push anyone else out before you even have a chance to convert them. Other than Kucinich (and I know damn well I've seen stuff about Kucinich here, even though you have deleted it all I guess with your new policy), and putting Obama aside for the moment, Ron Paul was probably the only candidate with some original thoughts, and he was shunned by the mainstream media, and shunned by guys like you too I guess, so it is no wonder we never see any real change in this country. What gall you have to speak for the civil rights leaders of the 60s and tell us what their goals were. So you believe if Martin Luther King Jr. was alive today he wouldn't support Barack Obama???? Wow.

Would MLK support Obama? I'm more inclined to think he would have supported McCain. Unlike you, MLK was able to see past skin color.

I'm not sure what you are saying, are you saying if we put skin color aside McCain is the better candidate? Those who were part of the movement in the 60s, those who helped to create civil rights, those who are still alive, DO support Obama. I was just in the room the other day with Haki Madhubuti, who was actually there in the 60s and wasn't just talking shit like you are, and he supports Obama. I suppose if you are so far out there in outer space, Obama and McCain would look the same, but those of us who actually live on planet earth know how important it is that McSame doesn't get into office, and we also appreciate the historic moment of the first black president being elected.
