Call out those who will water down the truth.

I called the [unnamed radio show]. You can tell her bosses are keeping her on a leash. She is doing to us what the corporatist wing of the Democratic party is doing to us: Pretending to represent the better judgment of the people of the United States, to diffuse our justified outrage and indignation, to sap our energy and derail our progressive causes, enabling right-wingers to play "straight-man" in the show, and then to HAND EVERYTHING OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE.

We have to be wise to this. And we need to call out those who are undecided, those who are brainwashed into following these Bushies, to those who don't care. When they make cracks about Martha Stewart, we need to turn the discussion to people like Kenneth Lay and Bernie Ebbers. When they start sounding like they think these neocons are on their side, we need to remind them,

"You are living a lie.
You are selling us out."

When they say they are following their "War President" because he is a "good man", all evidence of torture, stolen elections, illegal invasions and crony-corruption aside, we need to remind them, again,

"You are living a lie.
You are selling us out."

When they profess to be "moderates", they are running interference to the facts. In the last part of XXX's show today, entitled "Conspiracy Corner", her associate "XXX" ran off a quick list of verified facts that you won't hear on Fox news, and while he did, [the host] was crying out in the background, "Oh, XXX, stop" and laughing. I checked to see who her boss was.

Clearchannel.

You know, next to brainwashed zombies who will blindly, faithfully follow their Great Leader over a cliff without question, who are at least faithful to their convictions, these "moderates" are contemptible. As are their employers.

Nonetheless, during my call to their station, I did manage to get the following message out twice:

"You are living a lie.
You are selling us out."

Talk to people. Get out of the comfort zone. You'll get better at it with practice. We have to teach them. They've been misled. And they are putting us all in a great deal of danger.
