This excerpt is from the 2011 Noam Chomsky's UCL Rickman Godlee Lecture. The topic in this excerpt is extremely prescient in light of the debate I had regarding the "Teabagger Violence Mars Tax Day Rally" video post.

It might feel good to show-up with a two person army at a Tea Bagger event with a megaphone and yell at them about being corporate shills but it does NOT accomplish anything positive or progressive.

If you don't like the way I put it in the debate then maybe you can appreciate the same sentiment from world renowned intellectual, Noam Chomsky.

1. great post

feel good vs do good tactics ...

1000s of men and women at war memorials emblazoned with all the patriotic freedom and democracy and liberty for all verbiage, all standing in silence with the same t-shirt ..
