J. Hamsher reminding us, Malcom X: "Don't Be A Chump"

Jane Hamsher, from FIREDOGLAKE wrote that "According to a new AARP poll, 79% of Americans (and 61% of Republicans) now favor the creation of a public plan. This morning a commenter quoted Malcolm X's "The Ballot or the Bullet" speech. It eerily evokes our present situation:"
Malcom X, had a great gifted mind to connect the odds that so many academics and politicians alike dismissed. I think that his message now, more than ever makes so much sense. If what it needs to happen is a fragmentation of the social make up of the nation, so then let it be and let the vote rule the way. Millions of people voted for Obama, Voted for hope. Now Democrats have to do the math, or face the loses.
