Go get ‘em John.
January 6th, 2006 at 5:12 pmTo John Podesta.
January 6th, 2006 at 5:18 pmWhen that Bush Apologist you were debating brought up George Soros, I wish you would have hit back hard at him with the names Sun Myung Moon and Ruppert Murdoch, who are both dispicable people along with bein Billionaire sugar daddy’s to the right wing agenda.
Moon has said enough hateful things about America to qualify him as an Al Queda terrorist, yet Republicasn worship at hi money pulpit.
Unfortunately the twerp, Ed Rogers is monopolizing the discussion, accusing Podesta of being in the clutches of the “evil” George Soros.
January 6th, 2006 at 5:23 pmNo one has mentioned Matthews being associated with the Athletic Foundation run by Abramoff.
Podesta saiys he believes Delay is a crook. Finally, someone calls a spade a spade. Rogers is incensed.
How about Mellon Scaife and the Coors cabal that fund virtually every rightwing lunatic flat earth spouting hate speech around. Those guys make you wonder whether evolution is done with humans yet!
January 6th, 2006 at 5:38 pmI wish there could have been a segment in which we would call in and give Chrissy Matthews our points of view on this and ask him about his association with Abramhoff.
MSNBC used to have a show in which the public did that and it was hosted by…………………………..John Gibson?
My, how have times changed.

When someone doesn’t like the Democrats you call them a troll. Rather than debate the issues you dismiss people by calling them trolls. You think you are a “liberal” but you are a neo-liberal who believes the Democrats are going to turn things around. And they won’t. We’ve had 100 years of US imperialism and it has never diminished one whit under the Democrats. The Republicans have a greater taste for dictators but the Democrats like them alright too.
Try reading something other than the hogswallow from the Podestas
“The QUiet death of Freedom” by John Pilger
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/010506L.shtml
“From 1945 to 2005, the United States attempted to overthrow 50 governments, many of them democracies, and to crush 30 popular movements fighting tyrannical regimes. In the process, 25 countries were bombed, causing the loss of several million lives and the despair of millions more.” (Thanks to William Blum’s Rogue State, Common Courage Press, 2005).”
“The Man Who Explained the Empire”`
January 6th, 2006 at 8:04 pm“One of the major topics he worked on was what we now call the “financialization” of contemporary capitalism, i.e. the increasing dominance of financial interests, of the interests of “Wall Street,”we might say, using that term broadly, in setting the direction for capitalism both in the U.S. and globally. This increasing dominance of Wall Street interests has been a fundamental feature of the ascendancy of neo-liberalism throughout the world since the mid-1970s. ”

Yawn! Are you done? Good. Because your self-defeating attitude is beginning to annoy me. No wonder you live up to your name.
This Imperialism has lasted since 2001 and has flourished thanks to 9/11. Has that crossed your mind? I guess not.
January 6th, 2006 at 11:27 pmIf you don’t want to end the problem by fighting against Bush, then you are part of the problem and one of the 60 million fools who voted that moron back into office.
The sabotage on that program was glaring. It reminded me of the way they interrupted Nancy Pelosi during Katrina, with a special news break that turned out to be an embarassed reporter with nothing new to report.
The deep cynicism of Mathews’ ‘pull my finger’ trick is only matched by his deep cyncial betrayal of the US military. Boy has he failed them.
As for Leftist World, we just don’t have time for the fairy dust to kick in. We need political solutions, not nasty dismissals of some ‘60 million’ you bought from the stolen election coverage. How come leftists such as yourselves can’t report or cognize such obvious fraud?
Too busy being superior to the human race. I agree with the other person — yours is a defeatist appraoch. NO representatives in government is the already obvious result of that rhetoric.
January 7th, 2006 at 4:43 amHate to say it John but ya let Ed Rogers mop up the floor with ya. You let Ed set the agenda and get out the new RNC talking point that Abramoff is a “cartoon” and an aberration. Why didn’t you remind him that Abramoff may be a “cartoon” but he was a caricature that up until a week ago DeLay was calling his best friend. I just can’t stand these spineless Dems anymore!
January 7th, 2006 at 11:53 amPodesta and any other Democrat sitting across from the reich wing Bushite inbreds on television talk shows all make the same mistake. They try to “debate” in “gentlemanly” decorum facist, slobbering, extremist dogs. All reich wing inbred Bushites from Scammity and O’Lielly to Limphog and Andrew Coulter use the same tactic, they out talk (talk over) Democrats with their reich wing talking points…
Dems need to grab the proverbial bull by the horns and call the Bushites exactly what they are: lying, treasonous propagandists who love, worship and serve Bushiva, L’il Dick and the Republiscum party than they do our democracy and constitution.
Democrats-all need to confront the true enemy of our democracy with the truth. Ask them (inbred Bushites) at every turn:
Why do you hate our way of life?
Why are you betraying our democracy for cowardly, corrupt scum like Bushiva and Lil Dick?
Wouldn’t you be happier in Iraq or some other country that prefers facist dictators?
There’s entirely too much evidence of their (Bushite inbreds’) treason to let them get away with “structuring” the debate…
Dems need to get some REAL cajones!!!
January 7th, 2006 at 12:18 pmIt’s not ’spineless’ not to be a sociopath like most of these greedy Republican criminals.
The argument is that the people should be shown the truth by Democrats who stand tall and announce the truth. But if the people are worth a damn, they can smell these Republicans coming a mile away.
Why should the people be protected by people so much better than they? This is a coup, and our representatives are NOT the Amazing Hulk.
You want to see a superhero? Buy a comic book. If you want to see a real Democrat fighting back, check out Rep. John Conyers’ report, ‘Constitution in Crisis,’ with its documentation of FOURTEEN major crimes by the Bush WHIG group.
January 7th, 2006 at 2:35 pmImagine if, instead of the Bush NSA wiretapping Greenpeace,
or MoveOn, claiming terrorist tendancies, in ‘08 the Clinton ( Hillary)
NSA wiretapped the NRA, or the Heritage Foundation, citing anti-American activities.
Think about it before you decide what a good idea it is. Cabish ??
