DISQUS

I appreciated that Roland Martin called Hannity "a little ball of hate." Perfect description.

This is a really terrific and inspiring post, Kristen. Thanks for sharing your insights and strategies. I'm feeling motivated - now if I can just resist twitter ;)

Thanks for this post. You've laid out a lot of the feelings I've been having and actions I've taken really well. I'm not actively involved in the feminist blogosphere and yet I've still been shocked at the alienating and exclusionary arguments that are being made by feminists. I can't imagine how an Obama supporter could continue to engage without it becoming dangerously toxic. I am also deeply disturbed by the number of feminists who say they will vote for McCain when Obama is the nominee. I can only hope that there is collective amnesia and that they will not actually engage in that dangerous hypocrisy.

The message that we have the power is so important. And given your incredible active participation in this campaign makes your call that much more powerful.

And thank you for reminding me that my ancestors did not show the incredible courage they did in surviving and escaping from slavery and in creating and bringing truly important change to this country for me to ever vote in fear. It brought tears to my eyes.
