Kucininch Puts the SMACK DOWN on John Roberts this Morning

[paparush]

Roberts had Kucinich on his AM show this morning. Roberts was trying to frame the whole Articles of Impeachment as a goof, as Dennis "Flying Solo" and pulling a "political stunt"

Dennis replies (to the effect)- "We are in an illegal war. Approval for that war was given based on a campaign of lies. The vice president lead the charge in this campaign of disinformation."

Each time Roberts tried to lighten the mood, Kucinich whipped him right back onto message. It was good stuff.

Roberts: Aren't you alone in this crusade?

Kucinich: No. There are millions of people in this country who want to restore honesty and accountability to the White House. It is my DUTY to do this.

Roberts: Your starting at the bottom of the ladder, not going after president Bush.

Kucinich: Yes. If we impeach President Bush first, then Dick Cheney becomes President. America cannot let that happen.

:D

[liberaldemocrat7]

44. I call for Cheney and Bush to resign. Who needs impeachment?

Call War contractor and Republican contributor General Electric Corporation at
203 373 2211 and ask for the public relations department.

Tell the person in public relations that you will not buy any General Electric Products until their CEO gets

1. Bush to end the war and occupation by December 2007.

2. That Cheney and Bush resigns.

The power to withhold our business and money from Republican contributors will push the Republican party to capitulate to our demands.

[unblock]

33. what about congressman jerry NADler (d-ny)?

:rofl:

[Beam Me Up]

45. MP3 of this broadcast here:

[mike_c]

3. I suspect Tenent's revelations will have some bearing on the outcome...

...of DK's bill. If the pre-release buzz is any indication, Cheney is going to be cast in a very bad light. Protecting him might become politically untenable, even for Nancy P.

[madokie]

4. You got that right Dennis, America cannot let that happen, pRes. deadeye

Damn that makes me want to shower

[mmonk]

5. Yep, keep it simple, straightforward, and on message.

The best strategy.

[bananarepublican]

8. Sibel Edmonds (sp?) rocks! How about a Dennis/Sibel ticket!!!

Sorry if I got the spelling wrong.

[mmonk]

9. The spelling is correct.

Join in for one more big push for her next week.

[cooolandrew]

50. Dennis has learned well from these boogers, I like how he keeps House resolutions at easily..

... memorised numbers.

[zanne]

6. Dammit.

I was so safe and comfortable with my Obama/Edwards picks for president, and I don't like the idea of having a "hero". But dammit, Dennis, you got me. I am now a Kucinich supporter!

[InvisibleTouch]

19. Welcome aboard!

Glad you're taking another look. Truth be told, I'd be happy with any of our candidates, but DK is definitely #1.

[Kagemusha]

7. Sounds like the host thinks political accountability is a big joke in the US.

Can't say I blame him, but he's not helping either.

[bananarepublican]

10. MSM = Misdirected Shit (4) Morans! n/t

[ProgressiveFool]

18. Yes, I think the move to CNN

has exposed Roberts as one of the smarmiest of media toads...

[Supersedeas]

23. anything to lighten the mood--his attitude is that real news is for the print media

[pberq]

12. Go Dennis! - a voice of sanity - K&R

[CrazyOrangeCat]

13. off to the greatest with ya.

[magellan]

14. DK is a rare breed

A Dem with cajones and a spine to back them up. If the rest of the party really took the investigations they're doing (and their own reaction to the information) seriously, impeachment would be on the table already. How many charges of misconduct and corruption do they need to look into before it dawns on them it all has one origin: the office of the President?

K&R

[roody]

15. Please nominate Kucinich, so I can vote for him.

(registered Green)

[eridani]

35. Why not change your registration for the primary? n/t

[roody]

52. I've done that for decades. When Kerry conceded so

quickly, I said, "That's it. I am registering Green and staying Green." Now I am on the Green Party County Council.

[bvar22]

17. Dennis Kucinich is NOT afraid!

Dennis Kucinich is NOT afraid of losing large single source contributions (CEO).
He is free to speak for those Americans who must Work for a Living.

DK is the ONLY candidate who has a Clear & Consistent position on the illegal and immoral Iraq Occupation.

DK is the ONLY candidate who has a Clear & Consistent position on Single Payer Universal HealthCare.

DK is the ONLY candidate who has a Clear & Consistent position on "Free Trade".

DK has my confidence, my money, my vote, my time, and my support!


The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.

[Pokey Anderson]

42. And, don't forget

DK has introduced a bill to have paper ballots. (REAL paper ballots, not that baloney paper trail stuff attached to a hackable, nontransparent, secret software DRE)

[gratuitous]

20. Kinda makes you wonder

If articles of impeachment against the vice president is seen as a "political stunt,"* according to Roberts, I wonder what he considers important? What stories capture his attention and his imagination?

*Verbatim talking point courtesy of the mighty Republican Wurlitzer.

[warren pease]

30. I imagine he was glued to the set during the Anna Nicole feeding frenzy. Besides that...

he likes to watch reruns of the Chandra Levy morality play, a bit of old Jon Benet footage, can't forget Robert Blake, and how about Mitzi the Shi Tzu as she prepares for her latest date with dog show destiny. Gets all nostalgic for the real meaty stories back in the day. Things haven't been the same lately, what with nonsense like Brittany's shaved head and Tom and Nicole's on-again off-again marriage dominating the headlines. Give him a white Bronco and a bloody glove and he purrs like a kitten.

Yup. That was a great time to be in the infotainment biz. He keeps lobbying for an assignment trailing OJ as he tirelessly seeks out the real killer at the 19th hole of some of the world's most exotic golf courses. But no. It's some goddam liberal do-gooder. He wants a raise if they're going to stick him with this crap.

Edited because it's not SHIT ZU, although it ought to be.

[Ganja Ninja]

21. Damn right! Impeach Cheney first!

:applause:

[paparush]

22. I'm sending Dennis Kucinich MONEY!! You guys and dolls do the same.

Let's send this man some L O V E!!!

[DKRC]

41. Thanks! Read it and did it. nt

[Catherine Vincent]

24. I missed that.

Will it make it on youtube?

[wiggs]

25. Lack of press in left and right leaning media is astonishing

This is a rare and interesting event, and there is almost nothing out there on the story. LA Times had a 1.5 inch, two paragraph blurb on page 15 of the front section, the type of spot usually reserved for stories on alligators eating someone's dog in Florida.

[lonestarnot]

26. The only fuckwad I've heard a peep from is that dimwit on CNN

and can't think of his name, icccck. No wonder I can't think of his name.

[EVDebs]

34. When * vetoes the Iraq spending bill, impeachment becomes much more viable

Kinda like "go ahead, make my day"... if you get my drift. Sen (Dirty) Harry has a loaded Magnum, the most powerful handgun (impeachment) ready ! Rep Kucinich is all greased and ready to kick ass.

[glitch]

27. My favorite word in this sentence is FIRST

"If we impeach President Bush first, then Dick Cheney becomes President. America cannot let that happen."
:applause:

[porphyrian]

28. Someone knows his duty as Congressman. Good man. - n/t

[DearAbby]

29. The Man who is actually taking his Oath of Office seriously

THAT IS A MAN who SHOULD BE PRESIDENT.

[burrowowl]

31. GO DENNIS!

:patriot: :yourock: :patriot: :yourock: :loveya:

[Mrspeeker]

32. The only good one!

And bring on the flames!!!!

[skyounkin]

37. Go

Dennis Kucinich!!

[0rganism]

38. dang, just when I think I can support someone else in the primaries, there he is again, kicking ass

I'm addicted to Kucinich. :shrug:

[StarryNite]

40. Thank you for doing your job Dennis.

You are about the only one who realizes you are working for us and you are not a pawn for the president. Thank you for standing up to the thugs that are killing America.

[Greyhound]

43. Once again, this is what leadership is about.

Taking a stand.
:kick: & R

[LWolf]

46. Agreed. n/t

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

47. Good for DK

He's not letting the media define and dismiss him. And of course he's right--we cannot allow Cheney to continue as VP because he has committed high crimes. And since he's been running the show since day one, it only makes sense to go after him.

[rgbecker]

48. Email your Congressman to support DK's Bill.

Did you catch the Bill Moyer show on PBS last night about the press and the selling of the war in 2002? Dick Cheney is a lying SOB and needs to be thrown out on his ear.

[cooolandrew]

49. Kucinich is making some very impressive power moves and putting most Dems to shame...

By all accounts all Democrats should be on the same page as Dennis the country is more with him than the rest of the party on this one.
