Reply #44: I knew about her from DU posters [View All]

But I had never heard her before- my browser is fairly
inoperative...I can't get Guy James either... : (
I tuned in excited to hear her for the first time the other day,
but I was sorely disappointed. I found her extremely shrill and
resorting to bullying tactic. Not exactly setting us aside form the
thing we criticize in her right wing counter parts.
Many have expressed that they feel we need to be as brutish
as they are- that it is high time we fought back, that the technique
was "good marketing" as far as radio. I guess the latter is what disturbs me the
most. The fact that we, as a people can only relate, identify and
utilize elements of the lowest common denominator as far as
our humanity goes. I do not think those armed with truth need to shout-
I am an ardent fan of Thich Nat Han, the buddist monk, Martin Luther King.
and Ghandi- none of whom ever shouted, but none the less
moved mountains of social change with nothing more than intelligence
and the courage to speak the truth clearly.
I find it depressing that we now lower our natures to "entertainment
standards" to achieve our mutual goals which are for the good
of humanity, not egos.
