Link TV site has excerpt from Dean's speech this morning. ...also Boxer.
http://www.linktv.org/yearlykos/

I assume AAR will replay the whole thing at a later date.

Here are two blogs blogging the speech.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/6/10/111857/408
"Simon Rosenberg is introducing Howard Dean with what he sees are the three most important things Dean has introduced to politics: getting past tarmac hits and tv spots to build a grassroots national campaign, the 50 State Strategy, and teaching people not to be satisfied.

The Bush impersonator beforehand was great -- Rosenberg gets to tell his children he spoke between Bush and Dean.

Our challenge and opportunity: new media landscape, new agenda, new demographics. The Democratic Party built the New Deal on this, we can do it again. We need to united the entire progressive movement.

Dean gets an extended standing ovation. "What Simon said (ha ha) this is not an individual effort; this is a collective effort."

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/6/10/112214/777

"When I lost the primary in 2004, a lot of young people were disappointed. The advantage of being 50 is that you cdan look backward as well as forward; and I understood that in order to take back America for American values, it’s a daily fight. That’s what the right wing did. They did it for 30 years.

I love the Democratic Party. But this isn’t about the Democratic Party; it’s about the United States of America. And the Democratic Party is merely a vehicle.

But this is a tough fight. Those guys win elections by scapegoating. We won’t do that, because it’s not in the interests of America. And that’s the difference between us: they will put their interests before the interests of the United States of America, and we will not do that. HUGE APPLAUSE

This is the new town meeting—except this is the town meeting where everyone gets to speak, not just the people that the President wants to let in. And we have an entire department at the DNC who sits there reading you and what you have to say. This is how to take back America—working to support the people who work everyday to take back this country: by encouraging community participation—and by throwing out the trolls on your blogs who aren’t helping."

3. It was almost like being in a time-warp.
Back in time. Like he found his voice. He said he knew the campaign had not ended there in Iowa, because it was much more than a campaign...it was a movement.

I am glad someone else was inspired this today. Thanks for posting.

10. I went to hear greg palast speak last night.
He tied everything together extremely well : elections, iraq, oil, elections, iraq.
but not in the way I expected. Apparently, the reason we went into Iraq was simply to keep Iraq from producing too much oil. To keep prices up. And, this concept was created by 3 oil companies in 1925. His facts and documents backed him up, and obviously I am oversimplifying. But it is extremely depressing, when you look at how intricate their plans are, and how all these deaths are for us to pay 3.50 a gallon for gas. that's it. That is the goal. They have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. We are not even a thorn in their skin. Hugo Chavez is though. because he has offered to lower the price of oil by one third immediately (and he apparently has enough oil to do that), if we will stop invading other countries.
Anyway, I really needed to see Howard Dean and Barbara Boxer today.

6. He does.
You are right. That is why we supported him in 03, and still do. Don't agree on everything he says or advocates, but agree that it was more than a campaign...it was a movement.

I think he will begin coming out of the "box" they have been trying to put him in since he took over as chairman. Not completely, because it IS about more than party this time. But enough to speak clearly and say what needs to be said. Fine line.

5. Videos of Boxer, Markos, Tom Tomorrow, Dean at Google

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=yearlykos

Seems to link back to Link TV, where the full videos are found now.
Well, it says full video, but don't seem to be full one of Dean. I saw the whole Tom Tomorrow one, so not sure about that.

They have become irrelevant.

15. Thanks for all those links.
I guess we are now making our own media the one that counts.

C-Span difficulties have happened too often to even be believable. They are facing a new FCC ruling, I think...and they have to toe the line.

Something about the Must Carry rule being back again.

16. Nice write-up at The Fix...Washington Post. Well, as nice as...
Chris Cillizza actually gets.

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/thefix/

"The Democratic National Committee chairman delivered a call to action this morning at the Yearly Kos convention, urging attendees to avoid slipping into partisan attacks and rather to focus on broadening their own circles of influence.

"What Americans want is to not just beat up on the right wing," Dean said. "People want a unified country again."

Dean was greeted as a conquering hero to a packed ballroom at the Riviera hotel -- despite the early hour (8 a.m. PDT) of his speech. He received several standing ovations, and one woman who rose to ask a question admitted to being "so nervous."

For many of the people gathered here this weekend, Dean's 2004 presidential campaign was the official birth of the online progressive movement."

And this:
"You are the vanguard of real change in America," he said. "You are the way we talk to ordinary people and make them feel valued again."

17. "Must Carry" rule and C-Span....vote coming up this month maybe.
http://www.mustcarry.org/

Just a little tin foil hat wearing about all the technical difficulties and stopping the coverage of Yearly Kos.

I see there is one hour and a half today of the Plame forum repeat, but I don't see anything else.

So the only place we can see videos like this is the internet, and if we pay we might get to see the full version of Dean's speech or others, not just 7 minutes...and only if AAR archives it.
