"In my lifetime, I have never felt more ashamed of my leadership in Washington,” Taylor told the president. “And I would hope from time to time that you have the humility and grace to be ashamed of yourself.”

Yesterday morning, I published the article recounting Harry Taylor's simple, yet powerful, comments to President Bush in Charlotte, N.C., Thursday night - Beating The Bush In North Carolina.

Since then, Harry Taylor has become the national spokesman for disenfranchised average Americans. About 13 hours ago, the first message was posted at thankyouharrytaylor.org:

You’re a Rock Star, Man. Thank you for guts and your integrity. We need more citizens like you (as well as journalists and church leaders).
What an American patriot you are, and what a hero you have become.

A couple of minutes ago, the 2084th note of thanks was posted:

I congratulate you for standing up to someone who has been ruining our country for the past 5 years. I hope more people have the guts to stand up to this administration.

If Harry spoke for you, please tell him so. Post a comment at:

Of course, there's a backlash from the Me-Too, My-President-Right-Or-Wrong, faction. You know them as the 34 percent in the latest AP-Ipsos Poll who think Bush is doing a good job.

In the spirit fair and balanced, here's an excerpt from today's Charlotte Observer showing what that minority is saying:

"He wasn't a raging liberal just spewing out accusations," said Stephen Demetriou, a commercial photographer from Maine who read about Taylor on a blog. "There's a lot of people who share his views."

"Critics, however, called Taylor rude, embarrassing and misguided.

"I thought it was very out of place," said Dean Davidson, a real estate broker from Waxhaw. "I could hear the pacifism in his voice. To me it's just the same old, same old you hear every day; criticism of the administration's policies but never a new idea."

Other critics posted comments on the Observer's Web site.

"Mr. Harry Taylor made a fool of himself with that retarded speech he made in front of the wolrd," one poster wrote. "Taylor and Cindy Sheenan would make a great couple."
