1. Can we talk about Paul Hackett?

[napi21]

2. PLEASE mention Hackett from Ohio!

The election is this coming Tuesday, and he will be the ONLY Iraq Vet in the House when he wins! The RNC is pulling every dirty trick they can on him, and they've injected $500,000 into his campaign. People are working very hard for him, and right now, he's leading in the polls, but every bit of exposure he gets will help!

Please give him a plug!

[LaurenG]

3. Please Hackett and his opponents smarmy campaign manager

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :hi:

[proud patriot]

4. I'm here Hi everyone

:hi:

[proud patriot]

5. Wow looks like I missed a lot last week

:wow:

[Nite Owl]

10. Me too

I missed the thread here too.

[Voltaire]

6. I disagreed with you last week

But there is no way I would ever stop listening to and supporting your program. And I have lost respect for anyone who would pull their support because they did not agree with you.

[proud patriot]

7. busheatsbeef is on the phone

:D

[Ksec]

8. Listening....OUCH

[BeachBuckeye]

9. ouch?

what do you mean?

[Ksec]

12. He said we are narrow minded.

and wont listen to anyone who strays a little from the company line.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

13. No I didn't.

And that's something else we need to stop doing...putting words in each others' mouths.

I DID NOT SAY DU was narrow minded.

I DID NOT use the expression "company line."

[Ksec]

14. Im generalizing about what Im hearing and not quoting anyone.

I do think we are narrowing our scope here and thats not good.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

16. When you "generalize" and tell people "what I said"...

...you'd better act a little more responsibly than you did a few minutes ago unless you want me calling you on it.

Respect is a two way street. You want mine? SHOW a little.

[Ksec]

19. I dont want your respect so

Im afraid Ive made a mistake by getting into the politics of this site.

Carry on without me.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

22. Glad you don't want it, because you don't have it.

"Carry on without me?"

NOT a problem.

And for anyone else reading this thread, THIS is what's WRONG here. STUDY it.

[napi21]

24. I agree with Guy. It's foolish for Dems to get upset and just go home!

I understand there are differences of opinion here on DU, and that's OK, but we really ALL need to respect the other person's opinion. That's what the Dem party keeps saying, isn't it? We welcome all people with no prejudice, and are willing to listen to all different ideas?

You have to make your own decision, but you should reconsider reacting in anger.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

35. We NEED to respect differences of opinion here on DU.

I'm a Christian.

How do you think I feel about the Christ-bashing threads that appear REGULARLY here?

I chalk it up to free speech and I STAY THE FUCK OUT OF THOSE THREADS.

Here's one thing I DID SAY TO GUY...if someone wants a REAL quote..."We eat our own."

I'm not saying we need to lock-step into some fascist "agreement" like our red state friends do, but what happened in this thread today IS the problem, and as long as it REMAINS the problem, you'd damn well better plan on John McCain or Bill Frist as your next president.

WE NEED TO GROW UP.

[napi21]

36. That's true, and the big thing that Guy said was

and I'm sure not gonna quote because I can't remember his exact words, but, the idea was, If Dems are going to think so narrowmindedly, and get all pi**ed off when their ONE issue isn't supported 100%, and they start saying I'm out of the Party and I'm voting Green, the Dems will NEVER win another election!

I believe that! I've also tried on many occasions to explain that on different threads here, and I have the scars to proove it.

That's OK though. I'm going to keep trying, and I hope you do too.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

38. We just need to stop attacking each other.

Do that, and the rest of the blanks will be filled in.

There are some brilliant, passionate, gifted people on DU.

They share the site with CHILDREN.

That's basically what I was trying to communicate with Guy.

Earlier today, I posted a thread and someone DEMANDED to know WHY I posted it.

I alerted the Mods and asked them to shut the thread down. They did.

We need to STOP attacking OUR OWN.

We need to FUCKING GROW UP.

OR...roll over and play dead for PRESIDENT FUCKING FRIST.

YOUR choice.

[LaurenG]

37. I hope that you aren't going to leave

for good. There are always going to be disagreements we're people with strong opinions. Please consider that there are lots of people who will agree with you - exactly. I've had a couple of mishaps myself.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

56. OK, here's another problem we have.

Anyone interested in WHAT I SAID...not WHAT THIS GUY THINKS I SAID...can go to the White Rose Society and download Guy's show when Ben Burch posts it.

http://www.whiterosesociety.org/

This person MISREPRESENTED my words.

DO NOT BELIEVE ME.

DOWNLOAD the show, when it's available, and THEN you can decide WHAT THE FUCK I SAID.

This person FALSELY characterized what I said on the air.

THE EVIDENCE?

A FUCKING FILE on White Rose Society.

SO...if this person LIED...if this person FALSELY REPRESENTED what I ACTUALLY SAID...

WHY....WHY, DEAR GOD..WHY...are you saying "I hope that you aren't going to leave?"

DO WE REALLY NEED LIES? DO WE REALLY NEED THIS AT ALL?

THIS is why we lose elections. THIS is why CAFTA passed.

RIGHT HERE, in this thread.

We SERIOUSLY need to GROW THE FUCK UP.

[napi21]

57. Get a grip, please.! Don't get so excited! You had most people here

agreeing with you! You talked before about how we all need to grow up, and be more accepting of other people's opinions and feelings.

I don't want to make you angrier, but you're getting upset over nothing.

A very long time ago, a very calm co-worker told me, nobody can upset you...you have to let them do it. I've never forgotten that! It's a great philosophy to live by. You'll live longer too!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

62. "Upset over nothing""

"I don't want your respect so I'm afraid Ive made a mistake by getting into the politics of this site. Carry on without me."

[LaurenG]

59. I have not followed anything to do with you or guy james or

The guy who is fighting with you. I don't think you lied and I'm not mad at you or him because I really didn't know anything major was up. I don't think that a DUer with over 1000 posts should leave. I think we should try to settle our differences in more constructive ways. There is no problem with taking a break but really we have more in common than not.

I don't know anything about anyone's lies here and I do agree with you that "we SERIOUSLY need to grow up". Also, I hope that your not going to leave either. :hug:

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

61. ALL I ASK...

...is that you download this week's Guy James Show when Ben Burch makes it available on White Rose Society.

LISTEN to what I said.

MY words, NOT the words that this ""1000+" poster PUT IN MY MOUTH.

DECIDE how you feel about a fellow DUer...MAYBE a fellow Democrat, we have no way of knowing...that makes comments like "I don't want your respect so I'm afraid Ive made a mistake by getting into the politics of this site. Carry on without me."

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?

PLEASE, EXPLAIN TO ME what that means.

The reason George W. Bush got a second term is because of the behavior you have seen exhibited in this thread today.

ANGRY?

Yeah, I'm angry.

When George Bush passes a "National Sales Tax" on your FUCKING RENT, and you are paying 150% of what you are paying NOW, THEN I'm willing to sign up for an anger management class.

GUY IS RIGHT.

[LaurenG]

63. Listen to me

I have no reason to think you did anything wrong. NO REASON. Now because I have listened to Guy James exactly 2 times, I really don't know anything about this. I do not want to see you tear yourself up over this. I want you to know that I hear you. You seem like you have had your heart torn out and for that I am sorry. I also want you to know that I feel very strongly that yelling at people won't solve this. I would appreciate it if you would step back and realize that I don't know what, exactly you are so upset about and I don't want you attacking me over a harmless comment. Please stop and realize I am not the enemy.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

65. I hear what you are saying, and I am not attacking you.

I apologize...seriously...if I gave that impression.

It KILLED me when John Kerry sat back for a MONTH and let Karl Rove spin the Swift Boat lies.

IT KILLED ME.

And the "I don't want your respect" person in this thread...this is a LIAR. This is a COWARD. This is NOT the Democratic Party that I belong to.

So what do we do?

The person says "Fuck you, I don't WANT your respect," and we BEG THEM TO STAY.

THIS is why George W. Bush got "four more years."

I pray to GOD that Freepers aren't reading this thread.

I realize that you are not "the enemy."

And I am deeply, DEEPLY ashamed of the small percentage of "I don't need your respect" ASSHOLES who live here.

DU is better than this.

DO WE WANT "PRESIDENT FRIST?"

DO WE WANT "PRESIDENT McCAIN?"

NO?

Then it's TIME TO FUCKING GROW UP.

And YES, I know I am "free to leave" if "I don't like it."

That's cowardly BULLSHIT.

DU is BETTER than that.

ALL OF YOU are BETTER THAN THAT.

[Ksec]

68. Dude

You need to lighten up. Im not your enemy either. If you think my original post was done maliciously, you are dead wrong. I was simply saying the jist of what I heard and you went ballistic.

I only said I dont care if you respect me because of your outrageous tone when it wasnt deserved.

You came on like some crazy over something that was not a big deal until you made it one.

I suggest you calm down and stop attacking everyone. And Im not a liar or a coward. If anything you show more of what you are in this post that anyone else.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

72. You don't know when to quit, do you?

"If anything you show more of what you are in this post that anyone else."

You LIED.

You put WORDS in my mouth that I DIDN'T SAY.

Download the Guy James Show from White Rose Society.

LISTEN to what I said.

READ YOUR POST.

THEN you can tell me that "something that was not a big deal until I made it one"

I generally adopt an "outrageous tone" when people put words in my mouth that I DID NOT SAY.

Like YOU DID.

I'm finished here. You may enjoy this little flame war you've started, but I do not.

[napi21]

11. Yes, OUCH, but many on Du needed to hear that! n/t

[Nite Owl]

15. This woman is right

the issues that are important don't belong to either party, they are American issues.

[proud patriot]

18. Yeah that was a great call

:thumbsup:

[Joanne98]

17. We can talk about this video too. It's why we need to watch Hackett race

CAREFULLY! We should have our own exit pollsters.

20. Here's thread in Ohio forum if anybody needs talking points.....

[Swamp Rat]

21. I can hardly hear the show.

The volume of the stream today is barely audible. :(

[proud patriot]

25. it's fine for me

*knocking on wood*

hiya Swamp Rat :hi:

[Swamp Rat]

32. Hi proud patriot!

:hi: I don't know why, but it's not working well for me... Shit! and he's on fire too! I guess I'll try another day... :cry:

[annabanana]

53. You just don't get good material from those other shows..

good caller..

[napi21]

54. Yes he is. I only wish all Americans said the same thing!

He said just tell me what you're doing and I'll decide who I like or if BOTH sides are total BS!

[napi21]

27. It's OK here too, but I have cable. I hope the techies can help

work this problem out for the dial-up listeners!

[Swamp Rat]

33. DSL here. n/t

[Stephist]

28. It's a struggle here too

it's barely coming in here as well. But he is ona roll tonight! He is 100% percent correct with everything he has said tonight.

[Liberal In Texas]

39. The level is a bit low tonight. I went into play control and boosted it

up, which makes everything else with sound LOUD.
:-)

[LWolf]

23. I'm here, 36 minutes late.

Listening in and continuing to unpack.

Once you throw everything in boxes and haul it 900 miles, do you ever come to an end of boxes that need unpacking???

[proud patriot]

26. Yes but it takes awhile

:hi:

[Catshrink]

29. Hi everyone!

Just tuning in....

[napi21]

31. HI Catshrink! You're missing a GOOD ONE! n/t

[Catshrink]

41. I gotta ask

did he say anything about Roberts yet? About Rovegate? How about * flipping the bird?

[napi21]

42. Some about Roberts, nothing about the bird, and said he's going

to talk about Traitorgate later in the program.

[Catshrink]

44. Thanks!

[napi21]

58. Here's your talk about the single finger salute!

I can't believe Shrub has been in public office for 9+ years and doesn't realize there's always a camera somewhere! HAH!

[jimshoes]

30. Guy came loaded for bear today

Lovin it. I will donate soon Guy, I love the show. I need the show. Rock on, Guy.

[napi21]

34. Yeah he did! I can hear the disgust in his voice!

I can't ever donate very much, but I send him what I can.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

40. He's disgusted, and I'm disgusted.

Guy is right. Guy's got COJONES.

It took a lot of guts for Guy to OPEN his show with these remarks. I've supported Guy through my posts on DU, through my calls to the show, and financially.

And I will CONTINUE to do so.

:toast:

[napi21]

43. YEAH!!!! He's supporting Paul Hackett!

THANKS GUY!

I don't live in Ohio, but I'm sure supporting Paul!

[BeachBuckeye]

45. anybody home?

light night tonight!

[napi21]

48. I'm still here! Just listening to Guy! I have to ask a question...

Do you think the Pub talk show hosts ever get emails as absoluetly MEAN as the ones Guy is reading on "Republican Love" right now?

I really have a hard time believing I ever MET any Dems that were THAT rotten!

[LWolf]

49. I'm home.

I haven't spent enough time on current events recently to be able to talk intelligently, so I haven't called in. But I'm listening!

[Stephist]

46. You Libs don't have the guts to do it but I do.

Oh really? Get your ass out of Naples and go fight pal. From behind a keyboard republicans are a mighty bunch.

[LWolf]

47. Republican love?

That letter was more than garden-variety republican hate. It sounded like republican terrorist threats to me.

[proud patriot]

50. Holy Moley Republican Luvvvv is something else this week

:wow:

[Stephist]

51. Shut Up At stop your WINNING

:rofl:

[napi21]

52. Think we aught to tell the Pubs about spell check?

Nawwww. Let 'em just look and sound stupid!

[napi21]

55. Have Shrubs advisors abandoned their plan of all sound bites?

Global fight against extremism is a bit LONG for a bumper sticker, don't ya think?

[napi21]

60. Any way we can find out which ones went from Congress to be a lobbyist?

I'm curious to see if it's mostly Pubs or Dems, because I suspect it's probably some of both!

[napi21]

64. Well, I found the answer to the lobsided Pubs becpming lobyists

Forty-three percent of the 198 members who have left Congress since 1998 and were eligible to lobby have become registered lobbyists.
Fifty percent of eligible departing members of the U.S. Senate have become lobbyists (18 of 36) while 42 percent of eligible departing members of the U.S. House of Representatives have become lobbyists (68 of 162).
Almost 52 percent of the Republican members of Congress who left Capitol Hill since 1998 registered to lobby (58 of 112) compared to 33 percent of the departing Democrats (28 of 86). This could reflect the fact that after George W. Bush became president, Washington became a hostile place for lobbyists whose contacts were Democratic. As part of the "K Street Project" pushed by Republicans, including House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas), lobbying firms that hired former Democratic members of Congress were to be denied access and business by the Republican majority.
Of the 2000 departing class, the ratio was even more lopsided when Republicans won the White House and retained control of Congress. More than 62 percent of Republicans (23 of 37) who left that year became lobbyists, compared to only 15 percent of Democrats (2 of 13).

[BeachBuckeye]

66. did we all go to sleep?

Where is everyone tonight? Slowest night of the year.

[napi21]

67. NO! But what happened to Guy? Stream has been silent for

several minutes!

[LWolf]

69. I lost it, too.

He took a break, and it cut out right in the middle of a commercial or some song; never came back.

[napi21]

70. But the stream isn't gone, just the sound transmission.

My media player is still active! Something happened on Guy's side. Shit! That damn station! He should get a refund!

[Utah_liberal]

71. Stream went bad, and last weeks comments

Hi Guy, your internet stream is dead. Since your program is almost over, I doubt it will be back up before the end of the show.
About last weeks comments. Hey, I didn't agree with you on that point either, but I agree with you a hell of a lot more with your positions than I do with any right winger. It's a childish move on the part of those who withdraw support because of one issue. We need people like you so badly, and I love your show.
Take Care,
Ed AKA Utah liberal.
PS. the stream came back up the last few seconds of your show.

[drfunk]

73. guy

I love Guy James show I even sent him an email telling him i really enjoy it. He's got 1 aussie fan here!
