Some reactions from the greater punditsphere can be found over at HuffPo.  The Freepers have been quoted for posterity at Sadly, No!  John Cole at Balloon Juice has some reactions from the right-blogs as well.

Lastly, GOPers should be REALLY careful about making a big deal out of this speech, and this issue.  The more people hear this, the more who may buy in, and its not unlike the Radical Religious Right isn’t known for trips deep into the heart of crazyland.

Side note: Has the historical impact been felt, that ‘YouTube’ may have been enshrined in our national heritage of the spoken word via this speech.  Being able to watch and relive an event, well after it occurred,  on YouTube, still had the impact as watching or listening to a historical FDR, MLK, or JFK speech.  I wish I had the opportunity to watch it with a real, politically non-invested audience, watching it raw, without the false-balance presented by pundits, consultant, or partisans, as HuffPo contributor Paul Loeb did.

Truly, we live in incredible times.
