I've often commented that one of the most under used resources of the progressive movement is our absolute advantage in the amount of creative people that sympathize with progressive values.
We have a wealth of artists, musicians, actors,comedians and writers...to name just a few of the areas of dominance we enjoy over our conservative counterparts.
Time to use that advantage...not just in a booed off the stage academy award moment...I mean to use this advantage in a brass knuckle, knock down, drag out kind of way...follow me below for the details...
One of the things that I've noticed about the RW is that they tend to co-opt any successful genuine grass roots progressive cause, no matter how hamfisted or amateurish..anyone see Farenhype 911? Didn't think so, but it did keep alive the "both sides do it" nonsense.
Have you noticed that there is no "counter protest" to OWS? Cindy Sheehan rated a response, why not OWS?
Enter the (not so) evil plan.
I propose contacting the Koch brothers or other major RW funding sources with a group of committed actors, asking for funding for their own "occupy" protest.
I suggest "occupy abortion clinics" or some equally emotionally charged issue as a starting point.
The actors must be good, committed in a Donny Brasco kind of way.
The payoff is to totally punk those RW motherf*&^ers, and use the money to fund OWS. How satisfying would it be to use their own hubris and arrogance to steal their money.
I offer myself to help as best I can.
