[GreatCaesarsGhost]

[BlueEyedSon]

[franksumatra]

[liberalnurse]

[Viva_La_Revolution]

3. I'm reading Disobedience and Democracy,,,

Nine fallacies on law and order. 1968 and still relevant.

[proudbluestater]

4. A farce indeed. BTW, Howard Zinn is on now!

I haven't been able to locate the link, I think the story was not posted on the internet. In Sunday's Detroit New/Free Press they carried an article about the polling places set up around the Detroit Metro area. Found a link for it!

Chaldeans are especially concerned about access to polling places in southeastern Michigan. The four polling sites are not distributed in a way that matches the population, they say.

Chaldeans, who are Christians, say they number about 120,000 in Metro Detroit -- mostly in northern suburbs, including Farmington Hills and West Bloomfield. They say the closest polling places will be in Southfield and Sterling Heights.

Other Iraqis and Iraqi-Americans in the area number only about 15,000, and they live mostly in Dearborn and Dearborn Heights. Despite the significantly smaller numbers, those Iraqis -- mostly Shi'a Muslims -- will be near two polling places, both in Dearborn, Chaldean leaders say.

"Somebody really messed this up," said Martin Manna, executive director of the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce. "They also are not doing enough outreach on the local level so that people will know how to participate, or even whether they are eligible."

[BlueEyedSon]

7. Just dealt with imminent threat re: Iraq

Paul O'Neill comment on early cabinet meeting where Iraq invasion was discussed (pre 9/11)

No WMD

Real reasons include Oil, military bases, etc., etc.

[ihaveaquestion]

8. You GO Howie!

He's tearing up the Bushies!

[babylonsister]

10. .

[prolesunited]

11. Irate caller just doesn't get it

Insisting we aren't an imperial power because we didn't increase our territory.

I'm sure Zinn will hand him his ass. It's not about land. It's about power and control. We don't want the responsibility for territories. We just want to put our people in place to control their governments and open it up for corporate control of resources.

[trof]

14. "Keep your opinions to yourself."

Oh yeah.
THAT'S the American way.
To that guy the government=America.
Zinn did a nice job of "explaining" what America is.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

15. yes he did.

he said

"the government can be anti-american. the president can be anti-american".

Brilliant.

[BlueEyedSon]

21. Kind of surprised Zinn did not use the term "client states"

in addressing the imperialism issue. We expand our territory by PROXY.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

12. the freepers are freaking out

he's telling them the truth and they just can't handle it.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

13. Zinn owning callers

one after another, the knuckle-dragger callers begin stuttering.

[BlueEyedSon]

16. Scumbag host technique: taking 2 calls sequentially

Lefty first, then freeper.

1. Audience more likely to remember last (most recent) call. Lessens the impact of Lefty caller's points.

2. Host "cherry picks" among the 4-5 points across both calls for Zinn to amplify/respond to. Mostly picks freeper talking points.

Fucking FUCKER.

[indigobusiness]

17. They are the perfect foils to respond to. He can truly shine

when addressing the rougher questions. Who wants softballs?

Bryan Lamb is cool. But he just called Howard Zinn, "Howard Stern".

"Next caller for Howard Stern, line one."

[SlavesandBulldozers]

26. im glad you noticed

i thought i was hearing things.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

18. i think Bryan likes to test his guests

especially if his guests are smarter than anyone calling.

[BlueEyedSon]

19. Lamb is a pro, how did he let Zinn get cut off by color bars?

:(

It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!!!

[SlavesandBulldozers]

for the record

a caller asked Zinn "are you a communist".

Zinn chuckled to himself and said "i thought that was a question that had gone away a long time ago" and went on to say that "i believe in peace, i dont believe in war" then beeeeeeeeeeeeeep end of satellite feed.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

20. lol verizon just cut him off at 10am

even brian was surprised. good advertisement for corporate control of the media.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

22. absolutely

right when he was talking about that rascally communist unchristian Value of peace.

[BlueEyedSon]

23. Yeah, that's when he STEPPED OVER THE LINE!

:)

[SlavesandBulldozers]

28. commie!

Crucify him!!

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

24. stay tuned for the repeat of noah feldman and the iraqi elections

[GR]

30. Michael Feldman Would Be A Lot More Informative....

What Do You Know.....

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

31. not much, you?

you're right!

[AG78]

25. Are you a communist?

Honestly, where are we?

Ever get the feeling that nothing will ever work? I know I can't shake that thought. Just flying by the seat of our collective pants on this planet, making it up as we go along. Just twirling around the sun, not really going anywhere. No destination somewhere in the distance.

George Carlin is right. Humanity is a freak show, and we in the US have a front row seat.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

27. "where are we" is a good question

so "is what year is this?"

[GR]

29. Thanks For the Heads Up...He's The Best...

Much appreciate your information....

[eg101]

32. replay? repeat? n/t

[Postman]

33. Judging by some of the callers, we need billions of dollars for education.

Howard Zinn offends all who live in a rightwing, fantasyland view of U.S. history.

[Bozita]

34. I think the callers meant 'indoctrination'

These folks fear education.
