[DianaForRussFeingold]

"Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) talks about the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington lead by Martin Luther King, Jr."


"Sen. Sanders attended the speech while a student at the University of Chicago and explains what it was like to witness that historic event."

1. Thanks for this!

2. It's quite an anomaly to have such a truth teller in our higher

levels of power as the Senate. Things he has said and stood up against have proven time and time agains to seem prophetic, but not really. It's sensible analysis that isn't tweaked or tainted by powerful interests that corrupt our politicians today.

We would be stupid as Americans to lose this person as President when this country so drastically needs a voice, a champion of the average American who has been, for the most part, shut out of the policy process that makes all of America better.

3. Didn't he know it would be considered offensive by some Brock astroturfers

for him to mention MLK 2 years later? How did he not get that message 2 years earlier?
