freeping…

The Free Republic community proved the power of action when they freeped the Dixie Chicks after they said a very benign comment about being embarassed. Radio stations pulled their songs thinking that thousands of people were outraged. But those thousands of people were from a very small community who magnifies their voice to sound like they represent everyone. And they make waves.

I was thinking.. the left doesn’t really have an equivalent. I always feel guilty calling some place twice because i want to share my one vote, one voice. It’s weird because i guess we could blast those who are so vigilently pro-war, but it just seems so strange. Thus, things don’t get heard. Like, i was *stunned* today when i found out that most of the east coast media did not even cover Rachel Corrie’s death (or blamed her for being a radical freak). I really want to secede.

    I think MoveOn is totally the left equivalent of this… only better, because they’ve figured out how to get substantially more people to participate in their actions.
