The revelation on the Web of the actual danger Hillary Clinton faced when she was in on a visit to Bosnia reveals, according to Frank Rich (NY Times): “the accelerating power of viral politics, as exemplified by YouTube, to override the retail politics still venerated by the Beltway establishment… The Drudge Report’s link to the YouTube iteration of the CBS News piece transformed it into a cultural phenomenon reaching far beyond a third-place network news program’s nightly audience.” He notes that “the Clinton campaign’s cluelessness about the Web has been apparent from the start, and not just in its lagging fund-raising.”

Regardless of where each of us stands politically in this super-heated election year, we as the followers of Jesus have a truly “viral” message, if we can just listen to God’s Spirit as He wants to lead us and pay as much attention to our culture as Jesus and the Apostles did to theirs!
