Blogging is a closed loop that has only a small effect on the public at large. To be effective, one must provoke thought and the best way to do that is print out an informative column/article and disseminate in your community. Keep it short--one or two pages would do. People lead busy lives and want to go on about their business. This long primary election process is not helping--after a period of time--many people want a respite--and they turn off for a while. Try this--just Google: "the 14 points of Fascism", email to others or print out and start a chain letter. See what happens.

Context is everything, and these statements were presented out of context. Sandeep is a friend of the netroots and we consider him our friend as well.
