I thought the best part was when Alan Colmes referred to "Barak OSAMA" instead of Barak Obama.
I have no idea what "speaking truth to power" means. Their pretzel logic is painful to endure.
When you get the name of a good professional, please pass it along to me.

It means, "However you thought you understood this phrase, you are wrong!"

. . .I keep hearing the rodents squeaking out the phrase "speaking truth to power".It's gibberish, like so much of what they drone on about.

One more advantage of living overseas and only being able to gets soundbites or an hour at a time. Can't seem to get past 30 minutes anyway.
Thank God for the Discovery Channel.

I think it means something like defiantly delivering a message of "truth" to those in positions of power.
I believe the phrase was coined by Anita Hill.
To: L,TOWM
With respect to the phrase "speaking truth to power," I believe it was the title of the book Anita Hill wrote to cash in on her 15 minutes.
She is a big-time liberal, so she probably stole it from someone else.
Hope that helps.

I think it's just another cutesy way of saying: "I speak up to da' man" -- it's a billionaire's way of saying they have no power, they're not "the man", they're just a powerless little schmuck like you -- but they're noble and brave for standing up and telling "the man" what's what.
The RATS are straining to keep their "we're for the little guy" class warfare electoral angle -- specially with a couple of filthy rich beyond all imagination candidates on their ticket.

Don't have any clue.
But, I thought this was an interesting search result though:

This seems to be the IMAGE illustrating the phrase "
Speak Truth to Power"
One of the ancient traditions of the Russian Orthodox Church is the
yurodivy, the holy fool who naively yet fearlessly speaks truth to power.
Very weird people here

It appears to be some psycho-sexual-woo-woo-pseudo-science crap.

It is an old Quaker teaching that urges followers to stand up and speak to governments, rulers and the powerful about wrongs, abuses, injustice and unpleasant truths. Anita Hill used it for the title of her book.

If speaking the truth equates to power the RATS are bankrupt! Every RAT constituent lives his/her life in a lie.
Abortion is harmless- A lie !
I am with the government, I'm here to help you- A lie!

"Speaking truth to power" would be standing up at a gay pride parade filled with oppressed-by-society bankers and lawyers and accountants and landlords, and declaring to them that homosexual sodomy is a form of murder since it destroys both the soul and the body.
