" If it turns out in the end that we have a crypto-fascist movement and
the only thing standing between us and fascism is Barack Obama, then we
have to put our foot on the brake. But we’ve got to think seriously of
third-party candidates, third formations, third parties. Our last hope
is to generate a democratic awakening among our fellow citizens. This
means raising our voices, very loud and strong, bearing witness,
individually and collectively. Tavis [Smiley]
and I have talked about ways of civil disobedience, beginning with ways
for both of us to get arrested, to galvanize attention to the plight of
those in prisons, in the hoods, in poor white communities. We must
never give up. We must never allow hope to be eliminated or suffocated.” --Dr. Cornel West, on President Obama and the next election
