Who are your favorite liberal intellectual heroes? I'm thinking of folks like Jane Addams & Martin Luther King.
Gandhi.
You know: Elitists.
Please comment if you would. Thanks much.

Gandhi is definitely up there. Others (in no particular order):
I'm having a thing lately for intellectual activists like George Monbiot, Naomi Klein, Cory Doctorow, Paul Krugman.
Others: George Orwell, Richard Rorty, Karl Marx, John Stuart Mill, Jürgen Habermas (even though I disagree on some very basic issues with him), Thorstein Veblen (a Norwegian!), Georg Johannesen (also Norwegian, but not translated, unfortunately), Antonio Gramsci, etc. etc.
thanks much, mrtn. compiling lists rec'd via twitter and email now.
stay tuned. it won't be earth shattering, but hopefully it'll be interesting.
