1. I'd go to church to hear this message.

[thelordofhell]

2. Amen!!!!

Hallelujah!!!

[gopiscrap]

3. Excellent

[monmouth3]

4. He is awesome.. Rev. Al used to be like that back in the day. Don't know if he still preaches or no

[murielm99]

5. Rev. Al does not have to preach

with this man out there. He is wonderful.

Rev. Al is doing a greater service by being on MSNBC and he is reaching a wider audience. We need both of them, and about a hundred more!

7. You speak the truth..n/t

6. I was on the edge of my seat, except for one term.

"New fusion politics." Exactly, what did he mean about that? He's not referring to Thirdway politics, is he?

[Triana]

10. No. Not Third Way IMO.

NC has its own history with what's called "fusion" politics:

IMO, 'Third Way' is Republican Lite/Corporate-controlled. Fusion is a coming together of parties for populist causes. At least that's how I perceive it.

8. I am proud to say

He shook my hands and that I marched, sang and prayed with him.

Love, Peace and Shelter.

9. I just have one problem with threads like this.

Not one of these great speakers and inspiring thinkers and hard-working activists actually DOES manage, literally, to "destroy the right-wing." The bad guys never feel a thing. And their movement certainly is not destroyed. Or stopped. Or even slowed down.

[littlemissmartypants]

15. Lawsuits filed don't count? Thousands marching?

Come to NC and join the Movement. I am sorry you sound so sad and seemingly uninspired.

[passiveporcupine]

11. is there a transcript available?

I'm afraid I cannot listen to him, no matter how important the message. I'd like to know what he said. Netroots Nation does not have a transcript of this video.

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. why can't you listen to him?

[passiveporcupine]

13. I can't handle the sound of his screaming preachy voice

I can't listen to any sermon by a preacher who sounds like this, either.

It's a PTSD thing.

[El Shaman]

18. Perhaps

Ms. $arah is more to your liking.

[passiveporcupine]

19. There was no need for that

She gives me the same kind of reaction.

It's not a personality thing...it's the noise I can't tolerate...like I said it doesn't matter what the message is. I was not trying to disrespect anyone. I admitted the problem was mine. So why the snark?

[mountain grammy]

14. I could listen to this man every day and twice on Sunday..

I love that preachy voice when it's speaking the truth. I'll always regret not going to hear Martin Luther King the one time I had a chance to do so. I will not miss a opportunity to hear Rev. Barber.

[freshwest]

16. I wish I could hear him just as often. I LOVE THIS MAN!

[freshwest]

17. He laid this out so clearly! Thanks for posting!

[Thinkingabout]

20. Good sermon, truth hurts those who seek to hate.

[Uncle Joe]

21. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, conservaphobe.

22. Rev. Barber's entire excellent speech to Netroots Nation is on Daily Kos.

I'd like to read his remarks, too.

23. Thanks for posting

24. Although I live in NC, I haven't been to a Moral Monday event

so haven't had the pleasure of hearing the Rev. Dr. Wm. Barber speak. My husband
has heard him speak in person, and he is truly charismatic.

The full video is here: http://act.democracyforamerica.com/sign/blog_Moralmovement?source=ak_fb.pg5360.20140718

I can understand that now from seeing this video. He has put together an amazing movement.
I truly hope we see some results from it at the polls in November.
