Interesting quote by Galloway about " democratic underground"

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1624186,00.html

<snip>

Mr Galloway told The Sunday Times yesterday: "I have been asked to go on a highly lucrative lecture tour, with the promise of very large audiences...

"I think in the United States the ground was tinder dry, waiting for a spark like this. The democratic underground is alive with the transcript and video screening of this event, so there are a lot of people in the United States who are very happy about it."

3. Niiiiice!

He is so right. The ground here was tinder dry waiting for HIM...ANYONE, to light it. The Internets=The government's Achilles Heel. They will do whatever they can to shut us down because they know this is our ONLY means of finding the truth. It doesn't matter what LIE they throw out there, WE KNOW BETTER and it's because of this amazing technology. They REALLY hate that. :bounce:

Thank You, Mr. Galloway! :toast:

4. "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?"

It's up there with that smackdown-of-McCarthy moment.

7. yup, when that one guy smacked them hard

5. I did a search of the local newspaper

The Fargo Forum. I could not find, nor do I remember reading one thing about George Galloway in that newspaper.

8. The video was viewed about 40k times in the first 36 hours

The is a large audience. So many people viewed the video in a short period of time that my server went down for a few hours.

Over 40,000 downloads in 36 hours doesn't include all of the other sites that were hosting the video.

Between C-Span, BBC and our alternative media sources, I would not be surprised if this video was viewed 500k times in the first few days.

Either way, Galloway is right. The DemocraticUnderground and the "democratic underground" of this nation are both very much alive.
