Whether you've ever experienced it or not, this video is inspiring.</p> <p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6dtD8RnGaRQ" frameborder="0" defang_allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p>THIS RIGHT HERE is why the Occupy Movement matters... Watching this process in action gives me chills!</p> <p>I haven't seen it posted prominently enough, so I hope publishing it here will get more exposure. I know the first time I participated in a consensus meeting it was an eye-opening and deeply radicalizing experience. To know that this process is happening for a whole new generation of potential activists give me so much hope! Every day the Occupation continues is one more day for people to experience direct democracy themselves!<br /></p> rss@dailykos.com (okayokayokay) Consensus DirectDemocracy Facilitation Occupy Wall Street OccupyWallStreet _1026568 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 01:53:28 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/22/639090/-Video-The-Obamas-Discuss-Dressing-on-a-Budget <p>An interview from four months ago has surfaced, showing the contrast between the Obama family, and Sarah Palin's ridiculous fashion budget.</p> <p>Just pull up this video the next time someone calls Obama an elitist.</p> <p>Update: Here's the <a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/The_Obamas_Discuss_Dressing_On_A_Budget_VIDEO">DIGG link</a>!</p> rss@dailykos.com (okayokayokay) Obama _639090 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 22:27:29 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/15/631035/-Another-Racist-Palin-crowd-in-Ohio-video-by-Al-Jazeera <p>I couldn't find another diary on this, so I decided I'd write it myself. Apologies if it's already been covered...</p> <p>Just when you thought you'd seen enough footage of shocking statements from McCain/Palin supporters... This story from Al Jazeera brings us the latest, this time from a recent Palin rally in St. Clairsville, OH on October 12th.</p> <p>I am originally from a small town 30 miles away from St Clairsville, and seeing this clip reminds me of what it was like to live there. St Clairsville is actually sort of a metropolis in this rust belt region. To many farmers, steelworkers, and coal miners who live in the surrounding countryside, it's known for being "where the WalMart is." Yet for being the largest city in Belmont County, there is some serious "aggressive ignorance" at work there.</p> <p>Video clip and transcript below the fold...</p> <p>UPDATE: <a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Misconceptions_of_Obama_fuel_Republican_campaign">Digg it!</a></p> <p>UPDATE 2: Wow, Rec List! It's my first time! Thanks everyone who recommended this diary.
