Does anyone realize just HOW PISSED at the Busheviks Catherine Crier is?
Edited on Fri Jun-30-06 12:19 AM by tom_paine
Some people here don't like her very much but she is unquestionably, undeniably on our side, which for this brief moment of history happens to coincide just about 100% of the cause of defending liberty, which is to say opposing the Busheviks.

Check this out. Her new book:

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/bookSearch/isbnInquiry.asp?r=1&isbn=1590710649

"…The extreme Right has conquered the executive and legislative branches of government, but it has not been able to bring the federal courts to heel…yet. Undoubtedly, this group has a prodigious impact on the Supreme Court and the other federal courts, but it wants so much more. Its leaders have taken an entity that innately resists politics and turned it into a highly politicized battle zone…make no mistake, they mean to bring every last wall crashing down.…"

Read an excerpt from Contempt


Oh, and how about a list of her most recent segments. Reads like a bunch of DU threads. Beautiful!

Past Clips:

6/28/06
Partisan Priorities: Flag burning or raising minimum wage? What’s more important? Get Catherine’s take.

6/21/06
Defending Democracy: Can we promote democracy in Iraq while our own is under attack?

6/6/06
Gay Marriage Distraction: High gas prices, a bloody war in Iraq, Americans with no health insurance and… gay marriage? Does something seem out of place here?

5/22/06
GDP -- America's Grossly Divided Prosperity: The economy is booming but not for everyone. So how do we measure America's REAL economic health? Catherine asks for your help...

5/18/06
Can you Hear us Now?: How extensive is the NSA's warrantless wiretapping? What we know, what we don't and why it's important...

5/12/06
Who's Listening?: New revelations about the NSA's "Terrorist Surveillance Program," plus your e-mails.


So, I'll ask. Did anyone on DU know that Catherine Crier was in our corner to this degree? That for the last six weeks she has been pounding the bloody crap out of the Busheviks with her microphone and her megaphone.

Bully for her!

Kick this thread and keep it kicked! Give it a recommend! How about send her an e-mail of appreciation for bringing this important issue to light? Let's show here on DU that we support our own, for the Busheviks surely Freeped her with 10,000 e-mails written by 100 people.

http://www.courttv.com/anchors/catherine_crier.html

Let's do what we do, just truly and honestly, one-person, one e-mail, support the hell out of her.

Who's with me?

:patriot:

Can I get a K&R?

3. This whole thing took me completely by surprise
Court TV has a sizeable audience, and her show reaches millions (maybe not tens of millions, but it's a pretty big megaphone).

And she's using it.

People just aren't taking it anymore. Glimmers of hope, all over, people are resisting in ways small and large.

4. I recognize the name, but I don't know who she is! On court TV? I
never watch it, but her views are wonderful. How can she state these opinions on a court TV show? Why don't DUers like her? Sorry for my ignorance.

15. She used to be on CNN
before that she had been a real judge.

She's always been a good reporter, who seems to actually get it.

24. Yo! Swamp Rat!
:hi:

Yeah I have been away from DU (not totally, but almnost for awhile) for about a year off and on. I needed to recharge the ol' batteries for the fights ahead, like the almost certainly rigged 2006 "election".

I feel like a bit-player in a stupid rigged reality show (which describes the essence of Amerikan "election" eves, these days), but I dare not sit on the sidelines in case I am wrong.

And besides, there's a large amount of selfish self-interest here. When I die, if Judeo-Christian afterlife is correct, someone will ask me at the Pearly Gates what I did to fight the Evil & Totalitarianism (same question I am sure all the Nazis and Germans of that time have gotten as they approach the Pearly Gates that grew in my once-free nation like a cancer.

I don't want to have to say, "Ummmm. I watched TV and posted at DU."

Otherwise I might get sent where the Busheviks and the Nazis are going (or went already, as the case may be), and I don't enjoy the smell of brimstone.

But now I am back, at least until the predetermined outcome that is coming and whatever comes after that (probably nothing, if I know my Imperial Subjects well).

Nice to see you, too. Love your pictures.

Also, I just started up my journal a couple weeks ago and it finally has enough stuff to be worth checking out, if you wish.

See you on the boards, Swamp Rat!

:hi:

13. Yes, I've Known For Years
I often have CourtTV's court coverage on as background noise, and a few years ago I noticed that Crier was pissed off about the same things I was - real issues, like the taking of our civil rights, judicial abuses of the Bush admin, and even hormones in meat. Do I agree with her 100% of the time? No - I can't think of many people I always agree with, but even when I disagree with her, her arguments are not couched in ad hominems and hand waving, but actual thought.

17. LOVE HER -- and her latest book is wonderful -- everyone here should read
Edited on Fri Jun-30-06 07:02 AM by LostinVA
it. Seriously.

She was a Repub judge from Texas... the Bushies have made her into a Progressive.

LOVE HER.

on edit: even when she was still a Repub, she wasn't totally nutso -- more like Olympia Snowe.

Sending email now, but I need to do more!

Thanks for the info.

K&R

EDIT: Here's the link to her contact form.
http://www.courttv.com/contact/feedbackform.asp?subject_id=53&start=true

It's a good idea to copy the link and paste it into the browser so it doesn't show all the traffic coming from DU.

33. Well, I would be polite to Laura, too
Edited on Sat Jul-01-06 08:50 AM by tom_paine
Now her husband the Chimperor. Let's just say I suppose those Busheviks know what they are doing, keeping their Chimperor away from actual crowds of real non-preselected Americans.

At this point, the percentage of real American (as opposed to preselected Bushevik drones) who would like to tell his smirky face off must be approaching 20-30%. When you consider the natural timidity of people to be afraid of getting themselves in trouble by such a bold (but perfectly legal and nonviolent) move, that is an astronimical number, if true.

But my point is, if I was in a decorous panel or TV show with Laura, I would be polite to her and smile.

Even though she's a murderer who's gotten away scot-free, too, her crime of taking a single life with her vehicle does not even hold a candle to the mostrous murderous crimes of her husband and his henchpersons.

34. She's been mad since before 2004 - now she's not holding back AT ALL.
I'd love to hear what she's said about the voting machines.
