Naomi Wolfe is a self-professed liberal feminist activist as far as I can tell. She is well spoken and her talk was interesting (thank you for the you-tube, nkjones1, because I had not heard of her and now I have), and despite it being done in 2007 and referencing Bush this and Bush that, there IS relevance today.
The 10 key steps she mentions that a government always takes when preparing to get rid of a democracy are probably good ones to watch for, and indeed most have already occurred. However, I don't see her continuing that kind of rhetoric now that the libs are in power, interestingly enough. She has apparently moved on to defending muslim practices with women - trying to show that muslim women are thoroughly happy with their lot and treatment.
Why would she not now be arguing the same principles and watchwords as she did back then, I wonder. Hmmmm I would expect even more fervour from someone so well educated about this topic given today's 'living on the edge' environment under this president - but we don't. Could it be that she will only use that tactic when it is a government she does not care for in power?
I will take from this ... the lessons she exerpted from history ... the 10 things to watch for ... and leave the rest. She has little to no credibility otherwise imho.
