I noticed two diaries about the film "Boogie Man", a film i think everyone everywhere should see:
One on the front page: Boogie Men Atwater and Rove Got No Souls
And one in a diary on the front page: Racism and a Teachable Moment Part II
"Finally, I hope you looked at the youtube of Richard Trumka's talk, and there's one more thing I think you - and every American citizen - should take a look at. It's a documentary about Lee Atwater, and it will tell you all about the politics of victimization, which is what this piece relies upon - that you, having read it, will feel victimized and harbor resentment against others. Is that what the Gospels call us to do?"
So let me take the time to repost the link to movie "Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story" (BBC):
Lee Atwater, Karl Rove's mentor, is an infamous name. There is a really nice documentary out about him that i know Frontline played recently. I was planning to buy it on DVD when on BBC's video player, i find it for free online:
