Political videos, whether produced by professionals or captured by average people on their cell phones, have already proven their ability to to transform politics. Remember ex-Sen. George Allen's moment in the spotlight?
People used to have to search out these videos on youtube for themselves, but now a political filmmaker has started a website that is attempting to gather political videos in one spot. Robert Greenwald, of Brave New Films, has started a website devoted to political video that allows people to upload the political footage that they have shot. From campaign videos to the latest crazy comment by right-wing talking heads, the website is both informative and entertaining. Don't miss the Jon Stewart bits on Dick Cheney, for example. And there are some Ann Coulter videos, too, as well as plenty of examples of Fox News attacks on Democratic candidates and issues.
A Michigan lawmaker even makes the site. Sen. Debbie Stabenow delivers an anti-war speech at a July 17 rally outside the Capitol.
You can watch it here:
The website has an action component, as well, encouraging people to share the videos with others, upload their own, to host screenings of films, and otherwise get involved.
