I received this email blast from Sojourners:

It starts

You have awakened the sleeping giant, too long dormant, but ever present, deep in the American democratic spirit. You have given voice and space to the unspoken feelings of countless others about something that has gone terribly wrong in our society. And you have sparked a flame from the embers of both frustration and hope that have been building, steadily, in the hearts of so many of us for quite some time.

Short version is "Keep up the good work. Stay humble, it's not about you, it's about the 99%"

Edit: Didn't catch that the link hadn't taken originally, thanks for the recs without it!

When exactly did opinion become fact?

Surfing Facebook's new interface I came across a note that one of my friends had liked a link submitted by "Conservative". Curious, I had a look. Turns out the conservative blogosphere has it's collective panties in a twist over a 'report ' that Ford pulled an ad at the behest of the White House and are screaming "Chicago thuggery!! Oh NOEZ the brown man iz coming for our freedumz!"

At first blush, to an undiscerning reader, it seems it could be a damaging story. At first blush... but, if you dig a little deeper you find something much different. Join me below the fold for shaky Youtube footage of the ad in question and what I found after scratching the surface.
