Randall Robinson on CNN next hour

[bicentennial_baby]

w/ Wolf, to talk about his conversation w/ Aristide this morning. He was on Democracy Now this AM, should be good!

[proud patriot]

1. Thanks for the heads up

I'm so mad I could spit ..

My government is not acting in my NAME .

[morgan2]

2. can you recall when they did act in your name internationally?

[proud patriot]

4. In my lifetime ? I'm 34 .

hmmmmmmmmmm .

Everytime we've come to the aid after a natural
catastrophy . All support we've given to the
international red cross .

Sustainable education of local farmers in many places
around the world especially the rainforest .

All Family planning and health services that we have
contributed to .

Helping to dig Well's in area's where people had no
such source of clean water.

Basically everything We've have done to help people ,
without a secret profit oppressive motive .

We've done many great things for the world .

3. Robinson is saying that he talked to Aristide who says he was kidnapped

by American troops!...Still talking

[Renew Deal]

6. Randall is a walking dead mean

along with Aristide, Castro and Chavez.

[htuttle]

8. Several Congresspersons will back him up

Maxine Waters has also talked to Aristide.

The story is already out in Australia and in the French press as of yesterday.

[Cooley Hurd]

18. Charlie Rangel to be on CNN shortly...

...along w/ Mark Fooley.

Fooley (speling correct ;)) has been the mouthpiece for the WH since the crisis began, so I'm not expecting him to support his fellow congresspeople...

[wndycty]

5. OH SHIT!!!!!

:kick:

[proud patriot]

7. Robinson Kicking Ass

Speaking truth to power .

[Tinoire]

9. Details please! I'm at work :( Thanks!

[proud patriot]

10. I left a messege on your answering machine this morning

Everything he said on Democracy now this morning

"The U.S. Government has undertaken a coup of a
Democratically elected president"

"he was abducted under threat of death"

"He's Being held in comunicoto"

"No one can contact him"

"he's able to call out every now and again"

[ewagner]

13. Wolfie challenged him

on the use of the word "abducted". Robinson didn't back down.

Expect a rebuttle from the White House soon...or maybe pentagon...Barbara Starr is reporting live from Pentagon on troop movements (Marines being sent in) I'm guessing that she will be trying to track down Robinson's story and will get the non-denial denials from the inside.

The next hour or so will be interesting.

[Rockholm]

16. What An EXCELLENT Interview!!!!

Robinson BLEW Wolfie out of the water. He was nearly speechless. Wolfie kept saying the the US Government said that Aristede left of his own free will and was escorted to Africa and he had signed a resignation letter. Robinson was like "And you are going to believe the governemtn?" Beautiful. Wolfie continued in monotone saying "but the government says so." What a lying administration we have. And Haiti continues to implode. Sigh.

[Cooley Hurd]

23. Rangel has Aristides' ph # & will give it to Blitzer!!!

Foley changing his tune...

says Aristide "escorted" by marines, not kidnapped...

[proud patriot]

26. Woa

that was something else

[Tinoire]

32. Whoa! And now begins the dance of the spiders! n/t

[Cooley Hurd]

33. But it still hasn't happened...

Wolf never called Aristide...

Pentagon news conf on now...

[Tinoire]

31. Thanks! I'm not at home now but will check as soon as I get back. n/t

:thanks:

[Skip Intro]

11. bush regime responded to RR before his airtime was over

right at the end of the broadcast, wolf read a response from the "administration" that said something like "unfortunately, Mr. Robinson's accusations do not reflect reality" or something like that.


What to make of such a rapid respnse by the thugs?

[Katarina]

14. I've heard something

about a pentagon briefing at 1:30 this afternoon with rummy. anyone know anything else about that?

[Cooley Hurd]

24. Yep... just confirmed on CNN

[SoCalDem]

15. They have an open line...and they lie

they have always said that all the tvs are tuned to FOX :evilgrin:

[Rockholm]

17. I Thought That Was WIERD!!!

And I thought only FAUX News had an office in the White House.

[Cooley Hurd]

19. I noticed that, too!

...makes one think they're monitoring the media specifically to stomp they story, doesn't it??

[proud patriot]

12. Also Will is asking for your help Tiniore

[morgan2]

20. charles rangel on now

[wndycty]

21. Damn Rangel just called out Mark Foley

:kick:

[ewagner]

22. Great job by Rangel! n/t

[morgan2]

25. foley said

we were surrounding aristede's compound saturday and sunday to protect aristede. Could be the troops threatened to leave and let him be killed if he didn't come with them?

[bigtree]

30. Bingo!

Classic U.S. coup, coupled with covert support of the opposition.

[Cooley Hurd]

27. WTF!!! CNN's top-of-the-hr news says NOTHING about...

...Aristide's claims (despite Rangel giving Blitzer Aristide's ph #)!!

Calling the rebel's entry into Port-au-Prince a "victory march!"

Showing uniformed police officer pistol-whipping CHILDREN running by him!!!

CNN claims rebels "welcomed" in Port-au-Prince, yet showing only a few hundred "supporters." Just like the "thousands" around the Saddam statue-toppling last April...:eyes:

[wndycty]

28. Trust me. . .I am sure this story is being vetted. . .

. . .and I expect the Pentagon briefing to be hot!

[Cooley Hurd]

29. But the spin already being spun is...

...that Aristide was "escorted" out of the country by US military for his safety. Charlie Rangel gave Wolf Blitzer Aristide's ph #, but nothing on CNN yet - wouldn't Blitzer want to interview Aristide live, on the air? Unless, of course, Wolf's "handler" told him not to... :tinfoilhat:
