Last week, I posted this diary titled "Glenn Beck be Damned: Stephen Lerner Doubles Down". Well apparently I was wrong. According to Glenn Beck's "The Blaze" Stephen Lerner already "doubled down".
A better term for my diary would have been "Stephen Lerner Goes All In". Lerner has been blamed recently for organizing #occupywallstreet on Sept 17th (not that it matters but this was found by the douchebags at Redstate to be completely false). And earlier this year was attacked by Beckitesand labeled a terrorist. By going "all in" I mean that Lerner has pushed back on the Beck smear machine and has relentlessly advocated for an escalation of tactics and a renewed sense of urgency by progressive forces. Videos of Lerner's speech have once again stirred the Beckites up. The most interesting part of all of this (other than Lerner's very compelling speech) is that it shows how to handle the muckrakers and redbaiters on the right. You don't stop, you don't slow down and you give them the middle finger the whole time. Help Stephen out by sharing the video.
