Not enough BRAD. More, Lou, more.

YEA BRAD! I saw you, even without rest you look and sound GREAT!

Very professional looking and sounding! (Of course!)

I hope he has more tomorrow - like a real interview or something!

"Whoo-whee! You'll get some leg tonight for sure!"

Unchained - 1981 - Van Halen

Please don't stop your hard work! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Brad, I KNEW you would make it! God Bless you for sticking with it. I am so excited but don't know how to make the happy face anymore.

I knew Brad before he was a big-shot. Keep it up, Brad...ride the wave...

Well I'll be darned...it worked. :-)

Brad, you need to grow some long hair and a beard like me
look a little more radical
My kids friends say I look like Lebowski on some movie they like...I just asked one of them it is called The Big Lebowski or something like that

Nah Floridiot Brad's perfect just the way he is. We females think so anyway.

Hurray for Brad!! I had no idea you were going to be on, so I almost tipped over when you appeared. Much too short (even my mother said so), but you looked and sounded terrific. More national appearances, please...
:D

Way to Go Brad! Caught that on Dobbs tonight. Seems like you're (we're) making progress. Keep up the good work, sir!

God bless Brad Friedman!

Thank you Brad! Keep up the great work!

I rushed home to see you on Lou Dobbs, had my teenage son and his friend grazing at the kitchen table while you were on. These kids will be voting in 3-4 years, and though my son knows I've been active in the election reform movement for a couple of years now, I think this was the first time his friend (who is a great kid but from a family that supports Bush) has heard of this. She seemed vaguely interested, and I'm hoping she'll go home and talk to her parents about it. (Just to make sure, I told her hackers had decided to put Hillary in as President in the next election - that should stir some pots!)

Anyway..thanks again Brad. Thanks to you and your blog, I was in on this way before mainstream media picked it up.

KB #14....... LOL.......

Excellent job Brad. 100 years from now, you, Bev and Lou Dobbs will be remembered as patriots!

Brad, you're just terrific! I'm waiting to see you on the Daily Show. Gonna start pestering Jon Stewart with emails!

#10 Yeah!!

Dear, dear Brad, you are beloved of many. Get some rest when you can. But we all acknowledge that the conscience is a pitiless taskmaster. And you have the talents to move the tendencies of the world. Please take care of yourself. And thank you.

I think this screen capture makes Brad look sorta debonair.

Special delivery for Floridiot (#9)...

Brad (circa 1999)

I used to be much cooler, eh?

Thanks for the kind words, guys. We'll see if they run more from the interview tomorrow as they mentioned.

Peg C - "conscience as pitiless taskmaster" indeed. Smartly writ.

Agent99 - Just a trick of the light

Hey Brad! Nice to have you back. You did great, amigo. All seven milliseconds were sparkling! and I hope they'll deign to serve us a few more milliseconds tomorrow night

Meanwhile, thanks for posting that old pic and don't worry --- I used to be cooler too! ;-0 now I'm just cold!

{ed note: Comment deleted. Not because I disagree with it. But because once again, you've violated the rules after several warnings, and thus, no longer welcome.}

Now let's see if you delete this comment.

{Yup.}

{ed note: Comment deleted. Poster has failed to follow the rules multiple times. Sorry. Posts not welcome here anymore.}

How do you spell D-I-S-I-N-F-O-R-M-A-T-I-O-N A-R-T-I-S-T ?

The stuff you usually post isn't a matter of differing opinions, AHR, it's a matter of paying attention to real information, not just swallowing BS whole and spewing it all over where it is not welcome. You can have any opinion you want. Spreading garbage that confuses matters, at its very best, isn't welcome commentary here. Nobody was unclear about that. Wouldn't it be lovely if you'd bother to inform yourself through reliable means, and THEN comment? But no. Just belligerent because we don't want to look at the pure bunk you were spreading.

I never drink the koolaid when there is a turd in the punchbowl . . .

And, the fact that we all like seeing someone we know has been working his heart out for our country for years start to really succeed where it could start making all the difference in the world, isn't a cult of personality at all. It's a bunch of people from a bunch of different walks of life and political parties who love the foundations of our nation being HAPPY about a WONDERFUL thing.

You're just looking at it like ego wins and ego losses, sour spirit. Go to bed.

great job Brad . grats .

Brad, Yikes you are hot!(Honest Repub-I'm sure you're not..Honest Republican my ass)I DIGRESS! I'm working on a children's book to read to my grand children some day when I'm old, just in case the history books some how miss this 6+ years now of the theft of our democracy. It will be called "Brad Saves Democracy" of course and now that I've seen your younger picture I think Super Brad will have a goatee! My latest chapter has Brad visiting Uncle Lou and Kittie!! I now have hope that my book will have a happy ending and will stay tuned to Bradblog and CNN anxiously for the next exciting chapters. Thanks for all you do...you're making history.

After viewing pic in # 21, methinks that other Brad, you know, what's his name of 'Joe Black' fame has some serious competition. Facial hair rocks..........on men, that is....;)

And so does long hair, Floridiot # 9....:)

Hey Brad you looked better than Lou and you have a great voice. Get some rest if you can cause I have a feeling you'll be on the telly again soon. Almost everyone I know needs sleep to look good.

I'm glad I didn't know Brad was going to be on. Because of all the coverage on Lou Dobbs, I decided to watch today and got to fall off my chair when Brad popped up on the screen.

Lou MUST have a panel with Brad!

Great job, Brad. Everyone should get "Republican Noise Machine" by David Brock, FORMER rightwing shill & lies/disinformation artist, turned to the "good side" of informing the American public of the truth. You have to put an effort into being able to disseminate lies & misinformation in the media. I think Al Franken's "Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" and "Republican Noise Machine" are necessary reading to educate yourself. The state of today's media was a multi-decade plan by rightwing millionaires, taking place since Nixon. Including financing of rightwing "think tanks" so they get quoted in the MSM as so-called "experts", but the MSM not disclosing that they are not unbiased think-tanks.

I taped Brad on my DVR. Congradulations, Brad.

I watched. It was a good beginning. Great stage presence ...

I know you were kidding about Hillary, Connie. But it might not be as far-fetched as you think. Didn't Bubba say Bush won "fair and square?"

Great going, Brad. I think we've got the wind at our back now.

Man Brad!, you got some good hair, gotta grow it out again dude, it looks nice that way, and more rad too

Oh, #22 WP LMAO !! mine is getting pretty gray now

Congrats all around, now that Dobbs is covering our issue; but what about the rest of the media??? Where are they? Americans won't get fired up about this until it's as ever-present as Brittney Spears. So, how do we grab ABC, CBS, NBC and (gulp...) FOX "News?"
I'd say all y'all who are sending thanks to Dobbs should also be sending questions to the other networks.
I'm gonna try that.
We gotta close this thing out, y'all.

shw

Only a few seconds, but it's a seed put out there in MSM. Hope a bunch of people picked up on the "Brad Friedman of bradblog.com" because nobody will ever get really educated on MSM.

Lookin' good, Brad. I'll check Lou Dobbs today in case you are on some more.

(I shaved off my beard a couple of years ago in order to better "win friends and influence people", but it's still on my drivers license, so when I have to show it the usual reaction is "Who the hell is that?" I really should have it changed.)

Arry feafef, If you liked your beard, who really cares what anyone else thinks
(oh, we used to have a saying; f*#k em and feed em fish) meaning I'll do what ever the hell I want

Floridiot --- Well, the cool thing about beards is you can always grow them again! I could start today if I wanted to.

I used to have a "f*#k 'em" saying too (but I think I like yours better.) But when I was working on various local projects (like the anti-"PATRIOT" Act resolution) it was clear that I was turning off some of those we wanted to influence. I mean, people who had the potential to be important allies - the beard just slammed the door in my face. Ridiculous, of course, but there it was.

I do have great urge to grow it again, though. I mean, it's me you know. Maybe today...

test

good for you, Arry, grow er good and long
Some of the public only like to see conformists (be a good little nazi, pat-pat on the head) knocking on their doors, I see your point
But the times call for individual freedom, don't you think ? especially today

JUDGE OF JUDGES #26

;) LMAO

FLORIDIOT #42 said "feed em fish" - made me flash back on a friend in college. He took on the name Tony Tuna - he proposed that instead of bombs we drop tuna on Vietnam since if the people were well fed they wouldn't have a reason to fight.
He had buttons and posters of a tuna on a parachute. They even had a picture and short article of him in Time Magazine.

My winky didn't worky!

I'm sorry to hear that, Bluebear.

Tony Tuna --- Tuna instead of bombs. Damn that rings a bell.

George Papoon for president!

I did a photo of what I used to look like, before my long hair and beard, going door to door for signatures

ack, didn't work, showed in the preview though

#45 - Floridiot --- Yes, individual freedom - always. (I usually have a beard for quite awhile, get tired of it, shave it off, get the urge again, grow it again...) Let no one say I was ever predictable.

(Can't seem to stay on topic these days.)

Brad - You're a great friend to all us lovers of freedom, beard or no beard. Will be checking Dobbs at 3:00.

Whoa! That picture of 1999 Brad...the background is a bit dark so when I first looked, I didn't even notice them curly locks!!!
Ah, makes me think fondly of my wild youth. I still kinda miss my long braid that almost reached my knees! Such a little 'hippie' I was.

#22 WP,
See what a gift you have for choosing just the right words?! I love it.
True, Lou didn't give him near enough time, but he was still Brad: clear, articulate, to the point...
Thank you for a perfect description of his appearance on Lou's show:
"...All seven milliseconds were sparkling!..."

Yesterday, Democracy now on LINK-TV & FSTV had a report on electronic voting machines. And the INN Report has something about electronic voting machines just about daily (that's on Free Speech TV FSTV).

#46 BlueBear2 - Thanks, I was begining to think I was loosing my touched . . .

JOJ #56

Naw you ain't lost yer touch - it's just that I'm a little touched!

#57 BigDan - That convenient . . . . . A republican corruption report card, format is important . . .

real good job, brad! you looked very professional and believable, and you did the cause proud! wish that dobbs had deemd to have more of your interview on the air!

skippy blogged about your appearance.

#46 -

I wrote a "children's" book about 20 years ago in which the ammunition in the bombs dropped on adversaries was not tuna, but rotten eggs. (I had been inspired by an incident occurring in our barn.) The thing is, they WORKED, as lethal ordance so rarely does!

Yeah, Brad --- an American hero!

Not to change the subject too much --- but any comments about the upcoming Russo film "Freedom to Fascism" to be released July 28?

Peg C #62

LOL

I think Brad should be in Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

#29 SeattleDem,
Sounds like a great book, I'd love to see it. Excellent title, too!

I hadn't heard of this film so I googled it.

I can't figure out Lou Dobbs. Maybe that's good (?)...

Maybe we can get Lou Dobbs to publiciza any discrepancies in the upcoming 2006 exit polls vs. the electronic vote machine count. 100% of the discrepancies favored the Republicans, and the machines are made by Republican donors.

Lou? The rest of the MSM suppresses it, are you going to?

RLM #36

Clinton has changed his mind after reading the Kennedy article in Rolling Stone. Found this on DU.

Question:
Talking about elections, Robert Kennedy Jr. just wrote an article in Rolling Stone claiming the Bush Administration stole the last election. Do you think it was, and how can we guard against something like that going on in the future?

Bill Clinton:
I must say I read Robert Kennedy’s article in Rolling Stone and I think all of you should if you haven’t. And before I read it, I was convinced that President Bush had won Ohio… I… I thought it would have been ironic if he had lost the election in the electoral college and won the popular vote, that is if he went out the same way he came in. But… but I think that… I think that --- two things, I think there is no question that Al Gore would have won Florida if all the votes had been counted and the people who intended to vote for him had their votes counted.

Between the people whose votes were thrown out for erroneous double voting instructions in Jacksonville and the 3400 Jewish Democrats who voted for Pat Buchanan in the butterfly ballot, and several others, there’s no question that several thousand more people in Florida intended to vote for Gore and showed up on election day. And I still believe that the two Bush v. Gore decisions will go down as one of the four or five worst decisions in the history of the United States Supreme Court. I think it was a disgrace. And I think if… if Gore had been ahead and Bush had been behind, the Supreme Court would have voted nine to nothing to count all the votes by uniform standard. That’s what I think would have happened. You may not agree but that’s what I… I used to teach that course, Constitutional Law. That’s what I think.

In this case, I think… You know, I don’t have an opinion, but I thought Robert Kennedy made a very persuasive case and what was clear is that the Secretary of State, now their candidate for governor, was a world class expert in voter suppression and that he was doing everything he could to keep voters that he thought were Democrats from voting, in every way that he could. And I think that is wrong. And I hope that the voters of Ohio will repudiate it. I mean, you know, we ought to be in the business of getting more people to vote, not fewer.

We don’t have as many people… heck they had 70 percent of the voters voted in Iraq in the last election, they had a better voter turnout than we did and a bunch of them were risking their lives. So I don’t think we ought to be ratifying the public service of anybody who thinks it’s his job to keep people from voting and that’s [applause]… but I don’t have an opinion because I didn’t know anything about it ‘til I read Robert Kennedy’s article. But he sure as heck raised a… he made a compelling case, those numbers that he said in some of those precincts, the probability of the vote total being that much at variance with the exit polls was one in 600,000.

And it happened over and over and over again. So if you haven’t read the article, I urge you to read it and when you go back home I urge you to look at… you know, again this is without regard to party, I just don’t think we ought to be suppressing voters. We ought to be getting them to the polls and letting them vote and letting them have their say.

... Larry Bergan said on 7/1/2006 @ 3:18 am PT

"what was clear is that the Secretary of State, now their candidate for governor, was a world class expert in voter suppression"
Bill said that ?, good man
Now he (Clinton) just has to figure out that Blackwell was a executive board member with the IRI for years

Good stuff Larry

Possible dupe. First effort was rejected.

Thanks for this, Larry. I think we should be glad that Bubba Clinton at least read RFK, Jr.'s article.

But you'll notice he doesn't answer the question, "Do you think the election was stolen?" Nor does he respond to the second issue, how to avoid these problems in the future.

I'd be more impressed if Bubba would disavow his earlier statement that Bush won "fair and square" in 2004. Instead he revisits 2000, and says Gore should have won (fair enough), then finesses the question of who really won Ohio by focusing on the specific issue of voter disenfranchisement. He never mentions flipped votes or hackable election machinery.

Bubba Clinton is the cleverest and most stylish politician I've ever seen. He can discuss an issue without really committing himself better than anyone who ever lived. Why can't he simply say, "I was wrong when I said Bush won 'fair and square', because the process was very unfair and not square."?? He won't do that, because he's protecting Hillary from being called a "conspiracy theorist" if she agrees with him, or driving a wedge between America's premier political couple if she doesn't.

Instead he tells us to read RFK, Jr.'s article. Better than nothing, but there's no call for a Congressional investigation, for legal action, or any other proactive remedy for an illegitimate presidency.

I am happy to see you have made it to the klieg-lit summit of ......hey, wait a minute! You're a BLOGGER!!! You got no business in here! We only want ENTERTAINERS!!!! What's your song-and-dance? VOTING MACHINES!!! Oooh, that'll sell a lot of cars. Bring out the hook! Shuffle off to Buffalo,pal...

Seriously, Brad. Congratulations. When I started reading this blog about a year ago, I never thought you would get a substantive issue into focus on the mainstream media. You and a few (very few) other sources have been key to "educating" us on the issue and that is the truest value of your work. I am glad that Dobbs includes you as a resource and he seems to be interested in the story. On the other hand, I am discouraged that his viewership does not seemed particularly moved by it--at least I see no evidence yet. The blogworld is excited, the rest of the world seems unconcerned. I send your reports to the brother of a friend on mine. He is in local government in another state, and he sees his future in politics. He will at least listen to the developing evidence and has suspicions about voting irregularities and machine-defects. But he regards it as a hush-hush sort of topic. It is clear to me, as a result, that active polticians are afraid to speak up in part because their very "enfranchisement" to power could be questioned, or certainly will be questioned come the next election. For a fulltime politician, it is a can-of-worms certainty. There needs to be a practical way of addressing this without making direct attacks--and I think your work on "No Confidence" is a good start. I do not yet see it catching fire around my part of the country, but I think it might as long as your stellar work continues. Up and at'm, Brad. And thanks.

"was a world class expert in voter suppression"
I take back my statement about "figuing it out"
HE KNOWS

For Floridiot: Sure he knows. So does Hillary. So does Kerry. So does Howard Dean. So does Al Gore.

They all know. But it's still politically incorrect to question the legitimacy of a presidential election. And the term "politically incorrect" applies to all of the above, because they're all politicians who are afraid of being incorrect about anything. Until the case is proven to a moral certainty (might not be possible), they all avoid it for fear of being wrong.

GTASH observes that Lou Dobbs' series on hackable election machinery, and Brad's appearance, haven't resonated with the public yet. Who is the public?

50% don't bother to vote, so why should they care?
25% support Bush blindly; to them, we're "moonbats."
15% tune out; hackable machinery is a technical issue.

That leaves 10%, and we were paying attention long before Lou Dobbs discovered the issue. It doesn't mean the cause is hopeless; if Roger Hedgecock, a partisan Republican and former San Diego mayor, agrees with Brad on the Bilbray/Busby matter, that's big. Constant exposure will reduce the bad numbers.

Re bubba:
Jesus Christ.
"I don’t have an opinion" ??

"I don’t have an opinion because I didn’t know anything about it ‘til I read Robert Kennedy’s article" ??

Please. This is insulting. Does he think we're stupid? YES.

Do "they" think we're stupid? YES.

You're right, RLM, boy clinton should absolutely say he was wrong with that "fair & square" comment - at the very LEAST! - and you know, at this point I really don't give a rat's ass what his politically correct reasons are for not doing so.
Yes, you're right: he is certainly "the cleverest and most stylish politician" of the lot. I don't know if he's actually sold his soul for a nice veneer of glitz & glory, but he's sure not "the man from Hope" anymore. If he ever was.

I'm actually ashamed...ASHAMED!!...that it took me so long to realize the awful truth:

It REALLY IS all a sham & a scam. ALL OF IT. "Democracy"..."We the People"..."the Rule of Law"...
Sleight of hand. A sham & a scam.

A Tale of 2 Fry Pans, when Bill Clinton speaks there's the CONservative media bias (Heat)& Hillary's Saladmaster...

great job, brad. corrente picked that up. you look so serious! which is fine, but i still like you in a hat better.

Thanks Brad, Good on you. I have had the feeling you will be in history books. A lot of us love this country, even if it doesn't sound like it. We wouldn't be reading this blog if we had given up. Have you heard if RFK Jr's lawsuit is going to be class action and have whistleblowers from the inside testifying it was intentional? Read it tonight on americablog or dem 76underground one.

I agree with all the angry people here. Bill Clinton and everybody else shouldn't be acting so lawyerly and start screaming fire! The American theater is on fire! It's time to hold press conferences instead of waiting for someone to ask you at a gathering somewhere so the press can ignore it!

I did like this quote from the answer though:

"the probability of the vote total being that much at variance with the exit polls was one in 600,000. And it happened over and over and over again. So if you haven’t read the article, I urge you to read it"

What I wouldn't give to play a slot machine with those kinds of odds. The Republican's do!

Excellent work Brad!
