Marketing A Political Movement Online for Fun and Potentially Profit?

Is this a political post cleverly (or not so cleverly) disguised as a marketing post?

Do you have the short summary version of this? lol

I'm not so much interested in monetizing it myself at this point, but I am interested in marketing the ideas, with the hopes of the ideas growing into something beyond just ideas, so the real question is what methods would you use to to build initial traffic and after building an intial core of traffic, what would you do to grow a user base, socially or virally? I mean what would your "golden sticker" be for those who have read "The Tipping Point."

I'm actually thinking about spending money on advertising on sites frequented by like minded individuals to build a core audience. My thoughts are that the modern day equivalent of Tom Paine isn't necessarily a blog, but possibly the online political talk show, but this would be a different kind of political talk show in that it isn't necessarily liberal or conservative and isn't necessarily pragmatic either, but rather radical and advancing ideas that aren't being discussed by anyone in the mainstream, or even most of the alternative media.

It would definitely start at the extreme fringe, but begin to get people thinking.

The goal of building a core audience with a political talk show site would be to create a core group to power the growth of a social networking site that would focus on a movement to change the direction of the political discussion that is ongoing presently to one not controlled by the dominant ideologies of the day.

The social network may ultimately be monetized, as might the political talk show, just to sustain it's operations, but money isn't the primary motive. Memberships might be monetized through subscriptions and there might be monetization through advertising, but that is all secondary to the question which is how would you grow an audience and then turn that audience into a force?
