Thanks for the promote It's a strange world when John Lennon needs two promotes to get sifted.

See that big bad Ernie Ball Stingray buzzin' like a 700 pound bumblebee? THAT, people, is what the bass guitar is all about. *promote

4 votes for a John Lennon music video? Sometimes the sift confuses me.

I didnt even know of Ed Schultz until this clip so I looked at his Wiki and found this interesting:

"In the late 1990s, several events occurred which he said changed his attitude. One was his mother's illness. A former educator, she got Alzheimer's Disease and began a long, slow decline. Schultz found it frustrating trying to get her the services that she needed. The other was that he met a psychiatric nurse named Wendy who ran a homeless shelter in Fargo. He attributed much of his political change to her, and although he had frequently made fun of the homeless on his show, he said in his book that she helped to humanize them. To his surprise, he found some of the people he had insulted were veterans, and many were unable to get the psychiatric or medical services that might help them. He says that was the moment he began to look at poverty differently."

I think that's what being a liberal is often about, looking reminding yourself that you're not better than the people around you just because of your circumstances.

I only wish he took that same approach in dealing with Rush Limbaugh. Instead of taking a critical look at the man's life and sympathizing and respectufully disagreeing, he chose to insult him and challenge him to a duel.

That being said, i know it's difficult to maintain a polite attitude in the face of bigotry and hate, but I think John Lennon put it best when he said (im paraphrasing because I cant find the quote but I believe i heard it in "The US vs John Lennon")

'Of course they're gonna yell at you and bat at your nose because they want to get you violent. And when you're violent they know how to handle you'

I just hope it doesn't turn into a shouting match, b/c then neither of them will win.

"war is inevitable so let it come"
is it?
"We should declare peace instead of declaring war"- John Lennon

Might be on to something... Elvis and John Lennon died under Carter.

Kidding!
Seriously though, this is the last video of Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh or Michelle Bachmann I watch... enough is enough!

Okay, as long as we've got it covered. I wonder about the ethical implications of dropping embed codes of sifted videos in threads. I guess just as long as you post a link to the videosift url as well then maybe people will go vote for it.

I'm going with the Beatle on this one.
