4. Speaking uncomfortable truths is painful.

Nobody ever wishes to "air their dirty laundry."

I understand. Honestly, I do.

3. Yes, too bad Ed seemingly WANTS TO BELIEVE Obama. I think he's conflicted
given his comments today on his radio show.

I wonder which side he'll come down on tonight? :shrug:

5. I wonder what Turley's problem is with The President. It must be personal.
He seems to have an issue with every other move The President makes. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they're BOTH constitutional scholars. I don't know. He's become annoying.

6. Rachel Maddow also critizied Obama
She compared Obama's "wink" and rationale in general to Bush's, in the first minute of this video yesterday:

10. How do you explain Obama's back tracking on Electronic Surveillance and Rendition?
It's frightening. :scared:

Yeah Bush 2.0 - we still get perpetual war and NO civil rights but we'll get "a smile" before the unwashed masses continued to get screwed financially.

15. He didn't backtrack.
"Rendition" is NOT being used to send people to be tortured. It's just that they need to find places to put the suspects. Obama is not planning on throwing people away to be tortured.

Edited on Thu May-14-09 05:40 PM by ShortnFiery
Damn! The same EVIL and CORRUPT LEADERS are in The Department of Defense and you BELIEVE that just because Obama waved "a magic wand" of an Executive Order, these men have CHANGED THEIR WAYS?!?

Really? That's way too sad.

21. So if you believe the brass is responsible despite Obama's orders...
why are you blaming Obama?

As if I didn't know.

you won't EVER believe Obama.

9. No, it's called MORAL COURAGE. What the American People can't muster up because we
are held captive by a corrupt and corporate Media.

17. It's just sad and inane without any shred of evidence. People hate him for attacking Saint Clinton
too.

Perhaps it's a partisan (your part) case of "attack the messenger." :shrug:

37. Yes, every thread [there have been many] dealing with Turley, points out
his calling for the impeachment of Clinton.

13. Turley makes sense where the law is concerned - but Obama has...
...political realities to consider, so they're not always on the same page.

8. This makes at least 3 shows Turley comments on
Keith and Rachel too. Don't know if he's ever been on Tweety's show.

I like Ed a LOT more than I thought I would. A lot of people slam his radio show but he comes across very well on TV, and definitely more liberal than I had heard.

Now MSNBC just has to dump Scarborough and Co and hire David Shuster for the AM slot. And maybe give Eugene Robinson the 10 pm slot and rerun Keith at 11.

22. Those maggots are eating my brain again....
as Rachel discussed last night.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30729694/

It seems to happen every time Turley comes on.

Here's my question. If he's so outraged, why does he have that impish grin on his face? Someone who's upset cant simultaneously be THAT happy.

25. Ah, that makes sense then...
.... I'll take about 20 GOP folks over ONE Libertarian ANY day.

And that makes my maggot analogy even more accurate. :)

41. I don't really understand what you mean. I'm not saying he's a member of the Libertarian Party
or even that he associates himself with libertarian political stances across the board. I'm just saying I think he's a pure civil libertarian on personal freedom/privacy issues. Bill Maher is another like this.

...political fallout into consideration.

39. What's good?! He'll sprinkle his O digs in between calling for O to take charge.
I don't see how good that is. After the first 10 seconds of his crap you end up hearing the same circular argument over and over again.
