[rodeodance]

54. boy, what a RW rant--said Amy should be ashamed of herself calling Jr

a Lier. whow!

[Jeanette in FL]

62. Yeah, he was a live wire.

It almost sounded like a parody of the Republican party. He was saying all the right wing sound bites. He was embarrassed by even watching her.

[Ufomammut]

60. It's quite a piece of fiction

[cornermouse]

59. A lot of hate filled republicans slithering around and hissing

this morning.

[rodeodance]

64. maybe they should just go to church?

[cornermouse]

73. They're probably sick of listening to other things like

loving one another, turning the other cheek, forgiving each other, caring for the widows, children, elderly and disabled, and just generally helping people instead of knocking them down and walking on them.

By the way, thanks for the thread about what's going on. :thumbsup:

[Ufomammut]

63. Mass graves bullshit! Saddam did his "worst" with US gove BACKING!

[rodeodance]

66. mass graves have been found in Irag. What are you objecting to?

[Ufomammut]

72. Mass murder committed by Saddam with support from US gov...

And turning around many years later and having our press use the "discovery" of mass graves in a propaganda effort to persuade the public about what a "bad guy" Saddam is - which he is,however, they conveniently leave out the fact that Saddam committed his atrocities with NO OBJECTIONS from our gov.

[rodeodance]

77. I thought caller was referring to post 91 Bush Sr. war.

[Ufomammut]

81. Yes, but our press didn't pimp the mass graves until...

They were conveniently "discovered" to help bolster waning public support for the ME invasion/occupation.

[rodeodance]

67. says people are afraid when they find out Peace movements are spyed

upon.

[rodeodance]

69. she gave credit to NBC for shows about Thomas Merton and Quaker

and other groups that the shows exposed as being spyed upon.

[oasis]

75. Those are stories that were way underplayed in the corporate media. Amy

used her time wisely by bringing it up.

[rodeodance]

80. but we follow through--what is happening now--like, IS the spying

continuing?--Is the DOD or Pent till monitoring peace groups?--We seldom have any analysis or follow up. I am sure the monitoring has continued but we only find out when something happens to expose them (Fed gov)

[Ufomammut]

68. "What is happening here at home" in relation to Nazi references

[oasis]

70. He's trying to get her to compare Bush to Hitler but Amy wisely uses the

time to reveal stories about Bush's spying on peace groups.

[rodeodance]

74. she is a smart gal.

[Ufomammut]

78. And allow the facts and course of events to speak for themselves...

If the shit fits, wear it.

[rodeodance]

71. well, this was a great segment. Music to my ears.

[Ufomammut]

76. Indeed!

"Honesty...is such a lonely word, everyone is so untrue..."

[oasis]

79. Amy was rock solid. (eom)

[TheUnspeakable]

82. Thanks so much for this thread..
