32. LOL I'm hitting their websites tomorrow night, pen and paper in hand.
I have to remind myself that I'm not making a lifetime commitment, and I would vote for either in the General Election.

I'm actually stressing about this.

5. It's you. Of course.
Most people find it very effective. There's a post up on RedState whining that someone needs to do something like it for the Mitwit, because it's so good.

I think you're just upset and frighted that Obama has mounted such a successful challenge to Hillary. Sounds like you need some baby powder and a fresh diaper.

24. Murky and the other paid HillShills are DEFINITELY in panic mode...
....they feel it... and they can't slow it down.... and they're grasping at anything they can.

To use a Cheney-ism: Death Throes.

17. It's not just you , I felt the same way about it .
I know I will get bashed for this but I could care less . That video was absolutely the worst thing I have ever seen in my entire life .

I cannot understand for a second how it could bring people to tears , I live in a surreal world now made up of cheap crap , that's the way i feel .

They could have at least put some effort into it and maybe watched it before putting it out there like a one take wonder flick .

23. Did you listen to the lyrics, understand the message?
Edited on Sun Feb-03-08 03:30 PM by Levgreee
It was a tribute to America, all the people who have made the country what it is. It was a tribute to hope. In the unlikely story of America, there has never been anything false, about hope. This is the truth of the matter. Truth speaks very strongly to people, and that's why it moved them.

It was moving, not because it was about Obama, but because of the reality and truth it put forth about America, that Obama decided to carry in his speeches... and that honestly, people haven't heard for some time, and needed to hear.

29. I didn't like how they postured themselves, personally, actually... listen without
watching the video, if you can't get past your distaste and actually listen to the song.

39. I can't say after watching it three times that there were what I
call lyrics or a message . There have been hundreds of like videos or live music festivals through the years that had lyrics that spoke a language everyone could understand .

Sorry , I did not become moved simply because it was a chant and not lyrics .

I saw CSN&Y if you know who they are , at their live concert here in los angeles , it was an impeach bush message and it was great and moving as well as how the old songs played in the 60's brought out the reality of war comparing the same feeling about Iraq that existed during Vietnam , ie , the songs were still relevant today .

However this message died a fast death . Certainly there is the in the moment feeling but as always it dies unless it gets a daily dose of life breathed into it .

People can talk about hope and dreams all they want but unless they themselves continue to carry and live that message for years to come it will die an early death . Always has , always will .

Give peace a chance was message that became a chant that at the time did some good but here we are once again in two war zones and everything is worse than before , so it too died and we have not progressed because the people did not carry the message or fight long after we got out of Vietnam .

People talk about passing the torch , well the true meaning of this is people have to carry the torch and pass it on , not Ted Kennedy or anyone else , the people must do this . are you willing to do this along with all of the youth today , because if you are not or leave it to someone else then all of this is a complete and utter waste of time and it will become , in the moment and dwindle into the past .
