just an fyi, i got a personal phone call from PFAW today looking for support. I asked the caller if they were supporting the Holt bill and he said yes. I asked him if he was familiar with the bradblog and he said he knew exactly what I was talking about. Then he challenged me; would I rather do nothing and let the same thing happen in '08, or at least help get the Holt bill thru? I said I've been a bradblog reader since days after the '04 election and I have a lot of faith in Brad's understanding of the issue. He asked me to put my faith in the millions of people in PFAW and I said I was not as familiar with the issues as he, and that I allow I may be misguided but that at this time, I'm withholding any donations to them.

First, I want to thank everyone that has had their nose to the grindstone on Impeachment. Thank you.

Second, a question for David Swanson...The top story on Huffington Post this morning linked to this CNN (Censored News Network) piece ...What is your view of the Democrat candidates for Pres. '08 that aren't publicly calling for Impeachment? Do they support their base?

Just got in from raising hell... Whatcha wearing orange fer? It's not Halloween. So, all the people who ask get to know we're trying to impeach and that they should join in.

Let's fill up that cell in the Capitol basement!

I love orange!
And, I got a bro in Iraq. Hi Joey.

Hi guys!
I'm pretty sure they meant "SMALL business friendly."

:)

Bless iTunes... it let me fiddle with the equalizer enough to be able to hear... only now I can so seriously hear the commercials. C'est la vie? Wish it wasn't.

that's me....

Is this giving anyone else a migraine?

Brad,
Please ask John Washburn and John Gideon to tell us lowly peasants (who only pay 28% of their income in taxes) what we can do as citizens to make sure our votes end up being counted correctly in upcoming elections. I've been so busy working to get our city to call for the impeachment of King George and Darth Cheney that I've missed the voting recounts of 2006!! Thanks for the Washburn blog today. I'm very interested in getting involved with making sure MY FUCKING VOTE IS COUNTED THE WAY I WANT IT TO BE. Thanks!

It's giving me a migraine... not shivers.

Finally got a chance to listen to your show, Brad.
Great to hear progressive talk for a change.
It is truly a frightening thing when the Administration has given itself so much power from the executive orders...
It's weird when we joke about being listened to around my house. Dark humor...

shw
Nashville

There are huge furnaces apparent in some of the videos of the detention camps.... People would infer that means gas chambers very easily.

Well, gas chambers and ovens, that is.

They've been taking everything else from the Nazi playbook....

Hearing you loud and clear in Canada Brad. (Great music btw)
but...
Conyer's has copped out again.
[snip]
Sheehan and other activists meet with Conyers in his office for nearly two hours. Conyers told them there were not enough votes to impeach the President or Vice President, and so he did not intend to hold hearings on the impeachment resolution introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio

FUCK!

My head just exploded.

sorry I missed it, who is Brad talking to now?

Anyone get the feeling the Dems are welcoming the dictatorship...only to take over after W is gone.

What's the saying about power and corruption?

Bob Fertik is on the line.

The Democrats aren't looking forward to being dictators; they are facilitating * and Fudd staying the dictators beyond 2008.

Oh, almost forgot about Iran. Can I get an I

M

do I have to spell the whole thing myself?
P

Even if someone we only call "Democratic" were to become "president" under these circumstances, it wouldn't be a political party victory at all... maybe already hasn't been for a while. A LOT of people don't believe * and Fudd are running things at all, that they are simply doing the bidding of those who wish to remain nameless.

When it comes to arguing for impeachment, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND John Nichols' book, The Genius of Impeachment - for OUTSTANDING quotes. Of course, he also now throws them out whenever he writes or speaks.

These quotes are the counter to the standard responses to impeachment, such as:

"Impeachment is not a constitutional crisis, impeachment is the cure for a constitutional crisis."

We need to learn them, make them our regular resources, and be unafraid to state them clearly, easily, logically, anytime.

I'm grabbing my book and notes, and I'll have more shortly. . .

I think bush threatened Pelosi ,saying he will bomb Iran if she brings impeachment on board.

E

Yes, GWN, the Democrats have been acting like people under threat of dire catastrophe for a long time... but they also have been acting like spineless political advantage freaks....

By the way, Brad, I think that Ben's comment earlier about the gas chambers was alluding to the recent reports that the FEMA trailers in New Orleans were found to have 75 times the standard level of formaldehyde gas.

Oops.

But it's okay. The science is still out on this. Let us praaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy.

Just like electronic voting machines, if IMPEACHMENT ain't happening it will bite us in the ass.

On Bill Moyers Journal on Friday, July 13, 2007, John Nichols said:

"The founders who had recently fought a revolution against a king named George would tell you that monarchical behavior, the behavior of a king, acting like a king, is an impeachable offense."

Shortened, we have: "Acting like a king is an impeachable offense." Damn right.

doing the bidding of those who wish to remain nameless...yep...dems too, if we elect the ones already picked

A

C

Al Gore... is he already picked?

H

H

he's more corporate than environmental...it's how you live, not what you say...IMO

IMPEACH TMFA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

D'OH

John Brakey

I love it. On the day of the big push for impeachment, and people being arrested at Conyers' office, we get news about Drew Carrey and The Price Is Right... on lefty radio....

do you think Gore is picked?
I mean if I were those that wish to remain nameless and fascism was my gig heading into the cluster@uck of peak oil...I would pick Gore to keep the status quo going for a few more years...he came damn close the first time.

Riverside County has refused to post election results at each of the precincts (until March 2007), refused to inform voters they could vote on paper, had 617 precincts of ZERO registered voters but that registered one or two votes, violated CA state law by creating a large number with way over 1,000 voters and several with 2,000 voters. We observed a good number of forms attesting to the legitimacy of the vote counts at each precinct with what appeared to be forged signatures. And worst of all, we are NEVER NEVER allowed in the central tabulator room to view messages like "Fatal Error - cannot process 500 ballots" and thus they can claim all elections went off without a hitch!

Off the Grid

I already have a severe headache. Would you kindly forget bashing Gore for now...? Whatever anybody wants to say about him, he has worked extremely hard for us, and I'm not up to fighting about it.

I really hope "you all" (heard in Nashville)can get that third party elected. We have the NDP and they get enough numbers and help keep the two main party's on their toes. They are like having a mediator.
The Green Party is also making ground and it is nice to have a wider choice.

99- ok...hope you feel better

Gideon sounds "Canadian"

Thanks, OtG....

Real news.

This is doing wonders for my headache.... screeeeeeeeeech

Finally get it and it gets cut off....

David Enders' article

pulitzercenter.org

http://pulitzercenter.org/

Whoops... The website to follow for David Enders is PulitzerCenter.org as opposed to what I had said on air.

Tough hearing that precisely through the phone lines from Baghdad.

Thanks for getting that right, Agent 99. And for manning the room here.

Wanted to get as much time with Enders as I could, so fell short of time to thank you for being our happy humble host here in the chat room again today.

So THANKS!

And to all the rest of you as well. We'll see ya tomorrow! Same Brad Time, Same Brad Place!

P.S. If ya missed any portion of today's show, hopefully we'll have the archives up shortly if we managed to capture 'em!

Tell Conyers there is mo investigatin to do, cuz
THIS WORLD NEEDS IT!!!!!!
AND IT NEEDS TO STOP TOO

OUR FAULTY ELECTIONS ARE BEING EXPORTED

****
.

HOPE IS

IT WON'T HAPPEN THAT BADLY TOMORROW

This shows we are victims, like the skeletons sitting next to Mike Moore in the ER waiting room.

The EI movement has a skeleton-like long history, even having long-time government support, and having only one person to blame for faulty inspections.

Yet the same beat goes on as we talk of old elections and look out the rear view mirror to try to see where we are going.

We are the gadfly movement, the people, the victims.

Because, for one reason, the government is a subsidiary of consumption, which used to be a disease, but is now the cause celebre.

The response of the Milwaukee Election Director has been to refer the matter of the county district attorney as a possible crime.
