Found the transcript and audio at CBS. Sickening. Sickening.

Time to remind folks of this.

1. This is the total arrogance of power uncontrolled.
I have not heard these in a while. Corporate power unrestrained.

3. They are played regulary on Thom Hartmann.
In fact, he played them today. Always in context with a discussion.

Thom Hartmann is awesome.

6. That's what reminded me.
I have become very addicted to his show since AAR left Sirius. I much prefer him to Franken most of the time.

7. Expose Capitalists as They Are, and Anti-Repub Opinion Will Follow
This is what we really need to make people angry--more specific, actual quotes and descriptions from capitalists as to how they actually work, think, and what they do to us. Get the damned "D"LC "they are too liberal" game-playing bullshit off of us, and refer strongly to them, as the real Democratic Party used to do. Any reminders of what these people are will reignite anger against them.

I remember a column written by Ralph Nader from around 1999 and appearing in "Liberal Opinion" magazine, on a conference of corporate executives, many drunk, all very abusive to the "little people," with incredible, infuriating quotes, of the "ha-ha, I will shove your face in the shit beacuse I can, I'm rich" variety, but I have not been able to find that issue with the column. If anyone can, it was disgusting, and shows their attitude. Also, a Phil Donahue morning program from the '80s, (Donahue actually used to cover these subjects--bye-bye, Donahue!), some prick who wrote a book on how to scam people etc., like it was fun, and it had a chapter called--and this was real, they held it up to the camera and the prick laughed like it was a joke--"Raping the American Housewife," on how to exploit women's fears, lack of knowledge about mechanical things (where true), and their trust of what was told them. This audience hated, hated, this vile bastard once this one chapter was referred to and described. This is what we should do, specifically. Nobody can pretend "liberals" are the problem, once they are aware of the lawless rich capitalist threat.
