Wow- Did Laird say that the tea partiers were on board to mitigate Citizens United?

FOX Spin… ahhh, I mean News Alert:
The News Corp/Fox News Empire has put the word out for “interns”…

Now WHY should Democrats, Liberals, Progressives and Independents care? Think about this for a minute… Lets say a nation was experiencing hard times, the average citizens desperate for decent jobs with reasonable wages and benefits. Couldn’t the faintest hope of such rewards be used as a recruiting tool?

Millions of Republicans/Conservatives already sound like they’re auditioning for a spot on FOX news. Now we’re going to let them influence the youth? You might as well let your kids hang out with gang members or a fanatic cult…

Remember the “Reagan Youth” of the 80’s? These unethical b****’s grew up to be the driving force behind all the waste, fraud, abuse and scandal of the Bush/Cheney disaster. A Corporate Crime Wave of EPIC proportions where all the vile, craven perpetrators REFUSE to take responsibility for their criminal actions OR low grade thought processes. Instead they use their ill-gotten gains to BLAME the other guy… It’s the most un-American thing I’ve ever been witness to. Almost inhuman! Just look at Meg Whitman…

Honest to GOD, after Bush/Cheney I just can’t understand how ANY American could be so shameless, silly or stupid to vote Republicans back to power. What is about you degenerate morons that you put your trust in these wealthy, silver spoons who have NO IDEA what the average American struggles through? George H. W. Bush’s kid… Ron Paul’s kid in KY, Dan Quale’s kid in AZ, Satan O’Donnell’s kid on a blood stained alter… lol. Paid for HO’s like Ken Buck in CO, Pat Toomey in PA, Sharon Angle in NV, Joe Miller in AK and Ron Johnston in WI are leading in the rigged polls… COME ON? You people can’t possibly be that ignorant and misinformed, can you?

I’m going to make sure this right-wing phenomenon goes down as one of the low points in US history. Down there with April 10, 1950 when the Supreme Court gave in to hysteria and washed it‘s hands… leaving rights and justice to H.U.A.C.

THAT will be your future, Republicans/Conservatives of 2008-2012 will be hated and ridiculed for all times. NO EXCUSES!

Americans need meaning to fill our blessed existence but becoming a propaganda Ho for the *“Conservative Labyrinth” is no way to live life. It’s the fat, drunk and stupid of our time. The Republicans/Conservatives have the wealth to BUY allegiance and a good paying job at FOX seems too good to be true but look what you become…

Van Jones?

Oh yeah, the coward who couldn't stand on his own 2 feet in reguards to 9/11, and a simple petition that he signed.

Thats Van Jones to a lot of peeople at this point.

Positive is good, balls and conscience are better.

tic...tic...tic....

I hope you find a way to probe Van Jones on his views on the 9/11 theory of conspiracy. And why Obama threw him under the bus. It's strange how quick Van Jones goes and how quick Rick Sanchez goes and Helen Thomas. But others who call for assassinations and out CIA agents seem to get a pass. What is the truth. Sometimes questioning the truth gets a quicker response than spewing lies or committing crimes. What happened to Helen Thomas, Van Jones, and Rick Sanchez is a shame. Go Brad!!

Hi, Des or Jeannie was looking for info on the money trail for corporate campaign funding this election. Just saw this on The NY times:

Yikes. Link did not go. Here it is again.

(TN) 10/10 - COVERUP IN SHELBY COUNTY - A ten-candidate lawsuit was dismissed today in Memphis. Most of the evidence was never presented at all, nor were any of the key witnesses called to testify in court, save one: Julie Anne Kempf, who delivered powerful testimony about failure to follow the most basic election safeguards.

- A so-called "CPA report" created for the election commission, containing no names of any individuals or company, based on results that according to the Elections Commission's own expert were "nonexistent", cites the inability to reconcile 11 of the precincts examined. They only examined 10 percent of Shelby County's 236 precincts, which would be 23; extrapolating that, nearly half of all precincts examined could not be reconciled.

This was not delved into at trial.

and earlier from bbv

Consultants examining the Aug. 5 Shelby County election found 3,221 more votes than voters on documents provided by Shelby County elections officials pursuant to a court order.

Most voterless votes were found in large Republican precincts, a non-random distribution.

and an example from that same article,

The pictures above show the Shelby County Participating Voter list, with 10 absentee votes and 20 At Polls votes. Superimposed over this is a photo of Shelby County's certified results, which show 619 At Polls votes.

so bev has documented 30 voters and 619 votes and the judge does not see a problem with that?...or did the attorney not show it in court?

and from the memphis daily news,

Election Commission attorney Sam Muldavin told Goldin there was a fundamental misunderstanding by the plaintiffs about how to read data from the voting machines.

so we have 30 names of voters in one precinct and 619 votes reported...i would love to hear that explaination sam

Thanks for the downloads. Enjoyed them last night and will listen to last night's today. Re Prop 19, while I am pro-legalization I think 19 is bad and I'm against it (and you had one caller who had it right!). It will criminalize a lot of the pot smoking process. And $ will NOT be going to schools and libraries but for more police enforcement to enforce the new laws. New opportunities for enlarged police state. A better bill is coming down for 2012.

karenfromillinois (#8) ~ omg. Thank you so much for posting that. I hadn't heard.

I wish I could say I was surprised, but this TN fiasco has closely mirrored the legal "misfirings" I witnessed first hand and documented obsessively in Sarasota 2006 when the very same model ES&S iVotronic machines lost 18,412 votes with hundreds of voters certain their vote didn't count.

When Judge William L. Gary's ruling was delivered on behalf of ES&S, after such mountainous evidence of systematic failure / fraud from them in the Jennings / Buchanan FL CD-13 race...I had to go to my Dad's farm and weep to the goats for a week. (For the record, they didn't care. And I wondered if maybe they didn't have a point.)

Karen, fyi, I've been kicking myself all week for not having brought that (ghastly ES&S) experience more directly to Bev's attention. She was asking for someone to videotape and I didn't mention that there was not going be any way they'd let a citizen into the court room with a camera.

The many ways our attempts with VIDEO THE VOTE to get a camera in that courtroom were denied became comical.

And now...this one dismissed *and barely reported.
I dread November, friend.
