Reply #249: "Where were you"?

[Hell Hath No Fury]

I'd say, the correct question was, where you? If you didn't notice where the Left was during the Bush years, then you are blind. The Left was attempting to start their own radio voice, Air America -- a network I advertised on. The Left was leading boycotts -- some succcesful, some not so successful -- against advertisors of Rush, Beck, Savage, et al. The Left was out protesting and getting arrested trying to stop an illegal invasion. The Left was out trying to expose the many Bush crimes being ignored by the MSM via the only access they had -- the Internet. The Left was out creating new grassroots groups to counter the rise of the GOP machine.

DU used to be a hotbed of such actions -- there wasn't a day that went by when there wasn't a call for action, either for boycotts, telephone calls, or protests. Today? Not so much -- there's a D in office and suddenly somethings that used to be bad are now OK.

Most of us on the Left are still protesing and boycotting.
