Thank you, Rush Limbaugh--it's an honor to be attacked by you. When Rush attacks people who are trying to spread some honest truth--in this case, that our financial system has been ransacked by corporate CEOs, banks, insurance companies, and hedge fund gamblers, in other words, many of Rush's friends--we know that the message is getting through.
Quick background: On May 14th, I debate Maria Bartiromo on the topic of whether there is class warfare in America (my answer was, of course, "yes"--you can see that back-and-forth at about 6:49 of this clip).
Rush got a hold of this and wigged out, launching a wild attack against me the very next day, among other things calling me a "union thug". We thought this would make a great campaign video:
We invite you to become part of our movement to take on Rush and his cronies as we fight to truly transform the economic system.
UPDATE #1 (11:40 AM Eastern Time): a number of commenters have said roughly, "I live in X and if I was in NY I would vote for you" to which I say a heartfelt "thanks"...and you can help by forwarding the video to everyone on your email list AND asking them to make a contribution. We are going to build this campaign Obama-like: grassroots, bottom-up and powered by modest contributions...
UPDATE #2 (11:52 Eastern): MANY THANKS for getting this on the rec list. This really is about powering the progressive movement. I have to run out for a meeting but will try to respond later this afternoon. But keep at it!!!
