Howard Zinn (August 24, 1922 – January 27, 2010) knew what it would take to spark a progressive movement. I have a feeling he is smiling down on Scott Walker and the protests at the Capitol right now.
* the last two minutes are a fundraising plea for the news network who interviewed him. The first nine minutes are gold.
I sure hope we finally get a real progressive movement out of this. With some notable exceptions, the national Democratic Party has been a big disappoint by embracing corporate America at the expense of progressive values.
