True North

Fact: I support free speech more than anyone in the Twin Cities. Along with being the Twin Cities’ best feminist, it is one of my major superlatives.

So it’s not so much that I oppose this idea…:

True Blue Minnesota is lighting up the night sky with giant Jumbotrons, where we hold the Republicans to their record, let them hang themselves with their own words, show people a better future and do it in a way that DRAWS PEOPLE TO US! True Blue owns the night sky.

…as that I wonder how many Saint Paulites - Republican or Tic - really want anyone “owning” their night sky.

And we will own the national media with it.

They make this sound like it’ll be a conflict.

And this next line grabbed me:

True Blue will also be able to drive what happens on the street by setting the tone and the message.

Giant Jumbotrons setting the tone and the message? Like this? Or, really, this? (Scroll about 2:30 into the clip and tell me you don’t think about exactly what these people are after…)

Oh, well, More of George Soros (*) money well-spent!
