You all should listen to Randi today

She is taking all this shit that went down and laying out the FACTS!

None of this campaign spin shit. Not little sound bites. She telling it like it is.

Stephanie Miller could learn a lesson from Randi.

She's very level-headed -- says both sides need to calm down because no one benefits but the MSM and the GOP. And she's been advocating that the MSM needs to listen to John Edwards and not count him out.

:shrug:

And basically calling out both the Obama and Clinton camps for acting like .... DU!

And I agree. This BS needs to stop. NOW!

It's is destroying our people and DU. I am sick of it.

I looked at her site where she links Sirota, who snips the NYT article quote where Obama said:


Oddly, Sirota, perhaps saving space for the web or maybe to perhaps be dishonest about what Obama said, left out the part that I highlighted in red.

Other than that, Rhodes keeps piping up the lie that Obama said that he agreed with Bush on the war.

WHERE AND WHEN?

Good luck finding the quote...since it doesn't exist.

I was on hold on Randi's show until she cut the line after being on hold for 45 fucking minutes.

I like Randi Rhodes, but I've noticed her recently slipping into a pattern of subtly praising Hillary while using every Hillary talking point she hears that bashes Obama.

Its only gotten worse after Hillary's "miracle" NH victory.

I await for anyone to find the quote where Obama said he agreed with Bush on the Iraq war. Hell, I'll give the person $100 if they find the quote. Know why? It doesn't exist except in the minds of delusional Hillaryworlders.

she couldn't say enough good things about Obama, how he is so inspiring and such. She did defend Clinton, but in all those hours maybe mentioned Edwards 3 maybe 4 times. She even mentioned Kucinich more times than Edwards.

zalinda

heard her say some really superficial things about him.

You'd never fucking know it with all the crap going on here.

I keep hearing them use his talking points and ideas and it makes me sick.

If either of them gets elected, perhaps they'll have made some promises that they'll have to try and keep.

Not much in the way of good news, I know.

:evilgrin:

:hide:

Thats a Republican saying. Democrats up here should be ashamed of themselves saying that. We don't say that type of garbage. Its disrespectful to our Black members on DU and in the Party

I'd duck out of the office early and go home to my wife.

1) Just shout "HezZZzzz-bow-LahHHHhhhh!"
Or

2) Suggest that the problem with this country is that we need to have a federal no-fault divorce law.

Now why would people do that. Does not fit into their smear tactics.

Much of it came from the Politico, a site that does dirty deeds for the vast right wing conspiracy. I'd love to see it all stop. The only people being helped are the GOP.

...this hurts all Democrats.

Sorry, not gonna take that sort of advice from Randi anymore.

Randi screams first and thinks later, if at all. To me, she's like Bill'O without the ...

In about a half hour, I'll stop and listen. Thanks for the 'heads up'!
BTW: There are many ways of "saving", but this is the device I'm using: http://www.ccrane.com/radios/am-fm-radios/pogo-radio-yourway-lx/index.aspx

Thom Hartmann is the only other XM program that I save. One nice thing about that device is that I can set it for 1.5x speed. There's no "Donald Duck" effect, and it's still quite 'listenable'.

For the Blowhards Who Insist It's a Two-Way Race...
For those of you who think the Democratic presidential nomination fight is just a two-way race between Obama and Clinton, check out this brand new poll from the Reno Gazette-Journal. Yup, that's right - it shows the Nevada caucus race a three-way, dead heat with John Edwards right in the mix.

Interestingly, this poll comes right on the heels of the Establishment viciously ratcheting up its angry attacks on the Edwards candidacy. Late last week, we saw a Reuters story headlined "Corporate Elite Fear Candidate Edwards" detailing how Wall Street moneymen and K Street lobbyists are frightened about Edwards populist, power-challenging message against greed and corruption. We also saw self-anointed Democratic "expert" Lawrence O'Donnell pen a fulminating screed demanding Edwards get out of the race - not surprising coming from a man who made his name running the U.S. Senate Finance Committee - long the most corrupt, lobbyist-ravaged panel in all of Washington (somehow, running the U.S. Congress's version of a pay-to-play casino now makes people credile "experts" in campaign strategy and political morality).

According to the nonpartisan Project for Excellence in Journalism, Edwards has long faced a media blackout - one that at least some honest media brokers like Keith Olbermann have noted. As I said a long time ago, that Edwards has even been able to compete in such a hostile environment is a testament to the power of his message.

Lawrence O'Donnell is a real piece of work, isn't he? Geez...

I just removed that device from its cradle, and slipped it into my shirt-pocket. Very soon, I'll be listening to both Randi and Thom (at 1.5x speed).

I partially agree with others on this thread about Randi, but overall, she provides me with a lot of info and even some useful insight. But Thom??? PURE GOLD! And I'm constantly AMAZED at how he handles his occasional right-wing guests --- even those like David Horowitz! He creates a climate of mutual respect and civil discourse, that his guest is OBLIGED to emulate. We end up learning a bit more than we did at the start of the program. And the guest is (sincerely!) thanking Thom for allowing him to be on his program. THINK ON THAT!

Sad to say.
