Anthony Noel commented on the diary post You’re in Our Thoughts and Prayers, Jane Hamsher; an Open Card by wendydavis.
Thanks for this, wendydavis. I was similarly nudged earlier this week, just after I got notice of the Wednesday Occupy conference call being scrubbed.
You and Katie are indeed in our thoughts, Ms. H, and we carry on here in your behalf.

But be warned, you’ll have to read, and think, and be willing to leave the Democratic Party reservation.
Here’s hoping you have such temerity.

Recommended, tweeted. The diary is okay, but cmauk, your comment needs to be a diary, A-S-A-freakin’-P!!

Anthony Noel commented on the diary post Willard M. Romney, Commander-in-Chief by BargainCountertenor.
As usual, Hedges is exactly right – but also as usual, he fails to fully grasp the potential of electoral activism. Yes, our future depends on what happens in the streets. But history shows that REGISTERED (i.e., recorded) dissent of around 18 percent is all it takes to win real reform. Yes, I know, if [...]

Anthony Noel commented on the diary post Rocky Anderson Responds by Michael Cavlan RN.
Sorry Michael, I’m calling bullshit. Rocky can state “his willingness” to work with the Stein camp all he wants. Until he actually picks up the phone and offers his support for her candidacy, it’s nothing but pretty words (IOW, bullshit). And in anticipation of your next question, why should Rocky, who has actually won elections, [...]

Anthony Noel commented on the diary post Watercooler: Time by Kit OConnell.
In the face of Obama’s say-one-thing, do-something-different approach to federal intervention in states that have okayed medical marijuana, what deserves our cynicism, righteous indignation and outright derision is the legions of Obots, and particularly those in the LGBT community, who have accepted this as some huge thing. He has very clearly given himself the escape [...]

Anthony Noel commented on the diary post Stein Endorses Unified Progressive Platform by New Progressive Alliance.
Thanks all, for your comments. To Alan Maki: I was just thinking about this same truth, and appreciate your clear statement of it. All along the NPA has been about fomenting a new Progressive Era ad making it permanent. History teaches us that the first Progressive Era was successful with only 18 percent of the [...]

Anthony Noel commented on the diary post Bill McKibben: The Most Important Story of Our Lives by Tom Engelhardt.
I am nearly as distrustful of Bill McKibben now as I am of Obama, and it truly pains me to say that. How he can declare victory and praise the president (let alone advocate voting for him) can be explained in only one way: That’s the deal he had to make to get Obama’s much [...]

Props to DW Bartoo, who turned me onto it. It’s held position A in the NPA homepage slider since Feb 26.

Anthony Noel commented on the diary post Obama’s Real Father by Arthur Goldwag.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all of this were true, instead of the boring
centrist,corporatist, who in fact inhabits the White House?There – now it’s actually fixed :)

Anthony Noel commented on the blog post Occupy Doesn’t Need to Get With the Vote
Your best piece yet, KG. Thanks so much.
Chomsky has been saying for years that we have the tail on the wrong end of the dog in this country. People must unite around issues and then recruit candidates who will fight for them – and must kick to the curb those candidates and/or electeds who say one thing and do something different. Which, at the moment, is every single one of them.
Occupy gives me hope that we’re a little closer to waking the fuck up.

Anthony Noel commented on the diary post BREAKING NEWS From Occupy Minnesota by Michael Cavlan RN.
Wow. Though I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. Nice job, Michael. Wendy is right, an edited version that is narrated would get more attention online, with the full unedtied version offered alongside. I would also STRONGLY recommend that you submit it to RT, Democracy Now, etc. – AND to the major networks, because then you’ll [...]

Great post, and agreed, demi. The Lake is a terrific place. Even when there are whitecaps, the water is always just right.

Anthony Noel commented on the diary post Jill Stein or Rocky Anderson? by Quasit.
But I like your idea of building a truly broad-based progressive coalition, too.
Thanks OB. As you know, that’s the whole idea behind the NPA, and while it is incredibly difficult, we’re keeping after it. One of the reasons the Greens come off as dilettantish is that’s their history; they were founded on one issue. Another [...]
