Watched some of Coast to Coast on MSNBC today and I was

[candy331]

somewhat dismayed how Ron Reagan let that Crowley (sp)walk over him when they were talking about the war in Iraq. She fell back on "the soldiers are fighting for our country and no one should be dissing them rhetoric". She basically attacked the other guest on there who had lost her son in Iraq. Ron needs to toughen up or else he will start to look like Colmes. I tell you that blond was awful and talked all over Ron, rabid like Coulter. Ron had strong feelings against the war and voiced them but she out talked him. I sure wish he would get tougher. He seems to be a very nice guy who doesn't want to stoop to their level but I'm afraid he'll be eaten alive if he continues in the same vein as he is going.

3. I don't recall her name as I was working and listened as I passed by

the TV. She was really sad though said her son aced the Army test and was told he would not see combat, that he wanted to be a Chaplin.Said he had on body armor from Vietnam era. Real sad.

2. I also disliked how she gloated about how smart Fuckhead...

er, Bush is by comparing report cards and saying that Bush is a wise man and leader in closing the show. Reagan got a quip in about him not seeing it yet but she got the entire final segment to praise the King Idiot.

:puke:

5. Crowley is horrible!

I saw her little three minute GOP wetdream essay on the true heroes of Watergate this afternoon.. utterly biased, stupid, distorted, and disgusting. She said that Gerald and Betty Ford were the true heroes of Watergate, that Ford was a hero for taking on the presidency under difficult circumstances, steering the government through the status quo, and not hiding in the shadows like Mark Felt when he pardoned Nixon knowing that he would lose the next election. The thinking here defies logic!

What!!?? Gerald Ford a hero for taking on the presidency? Did he have a choice? He was next in line. He had to. Then he pretty much did nothing. That's about it.

Did Mark Felt have a choice about remaining anonymous in a very dangerous GOP world? I don't think so. I admire him greatly for giving Woodward the info that broke the case.

Now, why is MSGOP and the very biased, rightwing media so out to revise the history of Watergate and diss the heroes who brought down Nixon and a lotta crooks?

Could it be because another scandal of Watergate proportions might be in the offing? Downing Street Memo... Tom DeLay... Enron boys... etc.

6. MSNBC's 'Connected' Discusses Recruiting Crisis

Here's the video. I just watched it. These two women need to sign up for Iraq
Cindy and Ron were great.


This afternoon she appeared in a panel on MSNBC moderated by Ron Reagan.
She accused the Civilian heads (hmmm..) of the military of using and abusing our children. She said her son was regular army and had a vietnam era flak jacket, cited inadequate armor on Humvees. She asked if we are fighting a war on terror why are we in Iraq killing innocent people.

Cindy just reached out as a mother, very effective. The pro-recruiting mom on the panel looked like a drill sergeant on speed: "We're at war..blah blah.." Even she, at the end, had to sqeeze out a "we care, Cindy."

7. Sorry, the soldiers are not "fighting for our country" They are fighting

for the corporate oligarchy and an administration run amuck with crazed greed and power. I am sorry for all those families who lost loved ones in Iraq but they did not die for our country. They died for and because of this administration's lies and the PNAC agenda.

8. "Colmes" -yes, there is a bit of that there I'm afraid. n/t
