Chris Hayes' Speech At Sum of Change/Grow the Hope House Meeting

Yesterday, we were humbled when folks from the DC/MD/VA area packed into the living room of David Hart, founder of Grow the Hope, for a fundraiser to help us cover the annual Netroots Nation conference. We could not have been more thrilled with the level of energy in the room.

Our featured speaker, Chris Hayes, the DC Editor of The Nation, gave a rather fantastic speech about health care, Netroots Nation, and the importance of grassroots online video that we wanted to share with you all right away:

The video we showed folks right before Chris' speech was from last year's Netroots Nation panel @FDR Is There A New New Deal? And Chris is absolutely right that the video was only 1/5 of the story. You can find Nicholas Beaudrot's flowchart over at Donkeylicious.

Dirty Tricks, Political Hacks, And Journalism

Chris Hayes was on Countdown with Keith Olbermann last night, and he gave the best analysis of the O'Keefe scandal that I have seen. He is one of the few people making the connection between this scandal and typical Republican/conservative campaign strategy. Whether through the use of dirty tricks or personal assassination, the current conservative base will employ any tactic in the interest of winning.
