6. I just posted the direct link to the clip over at Canofun
Bartcop, try that instead if the link on the Democracy Now page doesn't work. It's the RealPlayer direct URL.

7. Oh, I see. It's not a hotlink.
Cutting and pasting to the browser worked.

8. Great! Thank you!
Good of you to clarify that. When I select and right-click on that line, sometimes it says "Go to URL" and the rest of the time, it asks me if I want to copy the link. Who knows? At least you're able to watch the video.

9. Thanks, it was about "armed madhouse"
and how the black voters were dumped again,
this time with another unprosecuted felony.

No elections have been won,
war crimes are committed,
the constitution is violated,

W H Y

are they still in power?

11. Sweetheart, that's not all the clip was about. You didn't get it.
If you only watched the first half, which is what sounds like you did, you missed the whole point of the segment.

14. I'm sorry
I hate it when that happens. RealPlayer constantly crashes on my computer. Happens about once a day at least.

12. Isn't what Long said in '27 true today?
The rich are drowning us. The rich don't pay for our schools. The rich are leading us into their wars for oil. The rich want to take away our social security for old age. The rich are not protecting us or providing us with a safe infrastructure. They aren't protecting us from deadly work. And the rich are letting oil companies and the banks control this nation. And we've got to stop it. We've got to take this country back. We've got to share this wealth.

What of this isn't true today?

17. Greg is one very sharp guy
He comes up with surgical precision statements on murky and mysterious stuff. Every time I hear him or read a book of his, I see something in a new way that is spot on!
