Official "Guy James Show" thread please keep kicked

[BeachBuckeye]

Lots to talk about today gang. We're going to have Congressman Bennie Thompson (D-Mississippi) to discuss the intelligence report. Later on we'll have brother-in-law of John Edwards, Jay Anania to tell us all about the Senator.

Of course we'll mention the "lost National Guard" records of Mr. Bush. And, what do you think about the report of the Bush Administration trying to influence the election by coaxing the Pakistani's into grabbing OBL or Omar so they can announce it during the Democratic Convention? Is Dick Cheney going to be indicted by the French Court? And how about the vote on the amendment to the Patriot Act? What a damned shame.
Call toll-free at 1-888-602-7500, 7501, 7502, 7503, 7504 or tune in in South Florida at 1200AM WPTK Ft. Myers

This is going to be a great show so call your friends and call the show.

White Rose stats way off today. Perhaps many people are enjoying the Summer?

[Dudley_DUright]

7. Right here

Sounds like a good show Guy. Looking forward to it.

[codegreen]

3. if any Cons call about that fundraiser video they keep bitching about,

suggest we should release the footage in a bi-partisan disclosure effort: our video footage in exchange for Cheney's energy task force meeting documentation.

or, maybe we could float the idea that the footage way "lost" the same was Bush's Guard records were.

love the show, and don't take any guff from those swine!

[Droopy]

5. Go get 'em, Guy

Sounds like a great show.

[Misunderestimator]

[nostamj]

10. checking in....

major good news!

The Question W Revue is going to be on Air America radio!

next saturday 9-10pm eastern on the Laura Flanders Show....

[Catshrink]

12. How about sending Guy a tape to play on his show?

That would be cool....

[nostamj]

17. oh, I will when I have one...

we'll be taping both shows next week

[Dudley_DUright]

19. Wow, that is great news!

I will definitely be listening in. Make sure you post a reminder so that we don't forget.

[nostamj]

20. you can be sure of it!

I'll post something on how the opening goes and will post a reminder about AAR too...

[vetwife]

35. So happy for your show ! Hope its a huge hit !

[TexasSissy]

11. I wonder what the Guy James Show is.

[Catshrink]

13. Three hours of awesome liberal radio!

Interesting.... It's also "DU radio."

[vetwife]

28. Anybody hear Bush speech yesterday when he said hhhhhaaaaa

What America needs is a clear speaking president. The only thing I have agreed with in 4 years.....LOLOOLO

[nostamj]

14. live streaming radio

he forgot the link in his original post:

www.theguyjamesshow.com

you can pick up the feed there. LOTS of DUers call in too!

[Momof1]

16. Give em hell today Guy

listening....

[Misunderestimator]

[Catshrink]

21. Ben Franklin said

Those who sacrifice liberty (or was it freedom?) for security shall have neither.

[Judi Lynn]

22. Sounding great already. Have a good show, Guy James. n/t

[bvar22]

23. Listening IN:

Love your show, and also thanks to the White Rose Society.

If you get a chance, please have Congressman Thompson clear up some confusion for me.

In MM's F911, he shows pre-911 clips of Condo Rice and Colin Powell stating that Saddam was contained, that sanctions and inspections had effectively prevented him from developing any WMD, and that he posed NO THREAT to the USA or his neighbors.

Did Rice and Powell use CIA assessments for this pre-911 conclusion?

If the White House didn't pressure the CIA to "cook" their intelligence assessments, then what did happen that forced Rice and Powell to drastically change their positions on Iraq post 911?

Thanks.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

24. Hey is THAT ULY??

[Dudley_DUright]

30. Was that you just on NSMA?

If so, great call. I can't believe they are trying to get away with the dog ate my homework excuse on shrubs military records.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

31. Yep...t'was me..

Nice to see you, Dudley :-)

[Dudley_DUright]

41. Same to you

Have been traveling lately and have not had much time to listen to Guy, but now I am back on my regular saturday schedule.

[Misunderestimator]

42. Excellent call, NSMA!

For a minute there I thought you'd be on for a full length interview. :)

[eleny]

25. Tuned in!

I love Saturday afternoons with the broadcast!

[vetwife]

26. Kick..Hi ya'll in an out today !

[Catshrink]

27. I was just about to ask where you are!

[vetwife]

29. Late but here !

[Catshrink]

32. Didn't Jr. say he hadn't talked to Chalabi either?

That's his M.O. When one of his co-conspirators gets in trouble, he suddenly doesn't know him. Maybe he "met him in a reception line." Of course, then the photos belie his words.

[vetwife]

33. If that man was standing on a stack of bibles I wouldn't believe him !

[Catshrink]

34. He and his daddy have the worst memories...

Where was Poppy Bush when JFK was shot? "I don't remember"
and on and on....

[vetwife]

36. keeping a look out on the grassy Knowle

[axollot]

62. OH dear...

..could you imagine if something did happen to Bush before the election? Like getting assassinated?

The conservatives would make him a martyr. We would end up with Chaney for the next 4 years maybe 8 even (providing his heart ticks that long)!

No NO - as much as I hate that man, his beliefs, his miss - managing our country, the lies, the deceit, the dumbing down of the people, oh I could go on an on.

But we want him to live - god forbid something happens to him - It would be JFK all over again - but this one, being the anti - Christ would probably rise again LOL! Only to torture us forever ;)

[Judi Lynn]

37. Beautiful. A Cuban-American who said PERSONALLY Cuban-Americans

in a MAJORITY favor normalization of relations.

Cool.

We hear from so very few people like him. It's always the right-wing extremists who hog the microphones and the reproters.

Saying there is a shift toward the Democratic Party is tremendous.

Finally something that makes sense. He says it tends to be the early Cuba "exiles" who have the huge campaign bucks and they are the ones who get courted for contributions, while the Demcratic Cubans are simply overlooked.

Yay, Roberto.

[LittleApple81]

40. Why had they not said a PEEP until they were not allowed to go

back and visit? When you look at the VOTING in Miami, I seem to remember that the Cubans always voted Republican. I cannot imagine that all of that was just the crusty old guard Cubans...

[Mika]

43. They've been SCREAMIMG! You all haven't been listening!

Usually, the ones who favor normalization are tarred and feathered as commies.


charts from opensecrets.org




Is Kerry listening? Nope.


Kerry's stated policy on Cuba:
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/8848574.htm

Under a Kerry administration Cuba will remain under US sanctions

Under a Kerry administration we will still be travel banned unless our travel is deemed politically worthy by US gov jackboots

Mr Kerry, Tear down the wall!

[LittleApple81]

44. Thanks for the eye-opener. My grandfather was Cuban (he died before

I was born). He was so handsome (from pictures my mother had) ... and a nice guy all around from what I heard from my mother. I think I must have family in Cuba still, but it is one of those things that, if you don't trace your family tree, you don't know for sure.
I hope that the democratic party reacts and supports this sector of the AMERICAN-Cuban society.

[Judi Lynn]

46. Hi, Mika! I was hoping you heard Roberto's phone call today.

He definitely sounded like he knew what he was talking about, didn't he? :hi:

[LittleApple81]

50. Isn't it good to hear from people who HAVE THE GOODS on info? I

had been totally blindsided by the propaganda about the Cuban community's repug leanings...

[Judi Lynn]

56. Almost everything people outside Florida have ever heard is propaganda

I never heard any of the real situation until I started corresponding with Florida citizens during the Elián year the child was detained in Florida, and kept from going home to his dad.

What I've heard from actual Florida citizens who know both Cuban-Americans in Florida and Cubans in Cuba has been a TOTALLY different picture from what we've been force-fed.

[Mika]

63. It was pointed out that..

Roberto pointed out something that is totally ignored by the mainstream press.. that latter decades of Cuban immigrants who have come to the US have experienced a full social infrastructure back in Cuba - like health care and high quality ed - and therefore are interested in the development of those things locally where they now reside, more so than the tired and old anti Castro/cold war. That's why so many Cuban-Americans and their kids are registered Dem (its not always about Fidel).

[Judi Lynn]

65. That was a very interesting point. Surprised when he said it. Cool. n/t

[Mika]

53. I think so

I wish that Roberto would have stressed how painful and horrendous the travel ban is for FAMILIES.

Imagine if one of your parents or siblings or neices/nephews or best friends who happens to reside in Cuba get fatally ill or seriously sick, AND YOU COULDN'T RUSH TO HELP OUT OR SEE THEM IN THEIR FINAL DAYS!

This is sick & sadistic treatment on the lowest level.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Where are our Dems on this? Where is Kerry?

[Judi Lynn]

59. It would be so sad, Mika for people knowing that if they use their visit

NOW, and that NOW will have to be perpetual, they will not be able to go if they are needed dreadfully during a real emergency.

That is simply horrendous. Americans have never been barred from travelling to Russia or China completely. (A friend of my mother's went to Russia during the height of the Cold War on a trip.) This is sick.

[Mika]

64. I don't know if you've ever had to rush to a family emergency..

.. but imagine if you were barred from doing so.


Its truly sick policy.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

38. GUY compare that statement "IN VIETNAM" to Gore and LOVE CANAL

More Repuke hypocrisy!

[Misunderestimator]

39. Excellent.... Bush was IN vietnam.... loved the clip

49. On Hold

To talk about the Bush Microfiche.

[Catshrink]

51. Great!

about Toledo, but I agree it applies to many places in Texas).

[guajira]

95. LittleApple81, I Lived in Dallas a few Months

And it did seem like years!!

You made a good point about Miami Cubans never caring that Americans couldn't travel to Cuba, but now they're crying the blues because they can't go!!

There's a saying that if you don't fight for others freedoms, you could lose your own!

[Judi Lynn]

68. Did anyone get the complete name of the caller's site at Delphi Forums?

Is it "Anti-Bush Two?" "Anti-Bush, Too?" I want to go look for it later.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

[Judi Lynn]

87. I found it. If anyone's interested, here's the link:

JOINT RESOLUTION Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to marriage .

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years after the date of its submission for ratification:

"Article --

"SECTION 1. Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution or the constitution of any State, nor state or federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups."

[Judi Lynn]

89. Amanda, which one did you say speaks Japanese?

I didn't get back to hear in time? Just caught a little.

It's just great hearing your enthusiasm and positivism.

[vetwife]

90. Mrs. Edwards

Her Father was in the Service and seh was brought up in Japan

[Judi Lynn]

96. Beautiful! A real accomplishment, as the two languages are not similar

in any way at all. Never knew she had this skill.

Thank you for sharing this info.

[vetwife]

103. And Mrs. Kerry picks up the other 5 languages LOL

[Judi Lynn]

109. Oh, Jeez! Isn't THAT interesting, to say the least?

Well, vetwife, maybe you're fergettin' _{George Bush} espeekie un pocko de Español!

165. He hasn't even got English mastered, wonder how bad he screws that up

[Catshrink]

91. Great call, vetwife!

Glad you called in.... I hadn't heard that Bush said he was "in Vietnam" either. Liar Liar, pants on fire!

102. I think shrub made that Vietnam claim in

[vetwife]

104. I would have used that in the CD had I heard it. Man that burned me up !

[Catshrink]

Great news. Felt like I was on C-Span !

[Judi Lynn]

100. I didn't hear the name Guy James used to identify the DUer who just called

She said she heard about Guy James from the Democratic Underground, and is a NEW LISTENER. Great call!

She was a Florida citizen for a couple of years, before there were any visible progressive folks there!

On edit:

Never mind, I just saw MISUNDERESTIMATOR'S post!

Great call, Misunderestimator!

[Misunderestimator]

115. Thanks!

I'm glad I finally listened to the show.... It ROCKS!!

:)

[Catshrink]

106. Hannity, Rush, et al lied about the Wellstone funeral.

They blew about 2 minutes of it way out of proportion -- said the whole service was like that.

Franken's account in Liars was really quite moving.

[midwayer]

108. Intelligence Report

Has anyone brought up the point regarding the delay in the Intelligence Comm.'s report on the WH and Pentagon until after the election?

I'm really concerned that it does not allow the American people to make an informed decision as to who they would like to see running this country.

[Judi Lynn]

112. Not yet. It's a dirty bit of business, delaying it so long, isn't it? n/t

[midwayer]

119. Just one more

cover up!

[midwayer]

126. That's very typical

of the one's who just don't realize how bad these guys are looting their wallet

[LWolf]

110. I'll be looking for the archives;

I got home in time for the last hour, although my signal has cut out 3 times since I checked in; I usually don't have a problem. Sounds like I've missed/am missing a great show.

Has there been a plug for the Question W review yet?

[vetwife]

113. There are no jobs Dude !

[nostamj]

133. i'm not calling today

so, probably no plug for the ?W Revue this week. (unless guy remembers)

I'm listening while finishing up various chores for tomorrow's tech rehearsal...

[Judi Lynn]

137. Good luck! We're all pulling for your show. n/t

[nostamj]

140. did you see the good news in post #10?

we're on Air America on Saturday 7/17 for an HOUR!

you'll get to hear a couple of songs and me, the composer and at least one cast member being interviewed....

cool?

[vetwife]

111. Can you see Bush in a mill? And we thought we had textile troubles before

[vetwife]

124. Years since minimum wage no raised.Cost of living tripled ! Jobs

outsourced. Oh yeah we are rolling in the money. And those who don't have a job don't want it...Typical right winged idiot !

[Astarho]

128. Like Chris Rock said:

Minimum wage is their way of saying, We'd pay you less if it wasn't illegal.

[vetwife]

131. LOL and Old Dick won't be able to handle this John

[Judi Lynn]

139. He doesn't have enough living brain cells! Not by half. n/t

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

114. What an imbecile on the line

This guy CHOOSES to be an ignorant asshole...it's not that he can't help himself

[midwayer]

Very typical

of the Repug's who doesn't realize they are looting their wallet

[midwayer]

138. Afraid they might end up like Paul Wellstone!

[Catshrink]

116. What about disabled persons? Undereducated?

Those who can't afford education because of the repuke funding cuts to pay for the wealthy's tax cuts.

[eleny]

117. This guy was never a Democrat!

No way. He has the Repub talking points down pat.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

121. Unfortunately he may have been...he's a white male

[bullimiami]

132. Fake democrat.

LIAR. Just like his hero *

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

118. Explain to the freeper, Guy!

I can't believe this idiot saying that he thinks Bush is good for him because of the tax cuts! Talk to him about the fact Bush wants to get rid of overtime!

[LWolf]

120. If that guy is a democrat,

I must be Charlie Brown. Great GOP rhetoric for *.

:puke:

Of course, my stream cut out again halfway through, so I didn't get to hear the end of the call. Did I miss any pearls of wisdom?

[nostamj]

125. no, just more swine whine n/t

[mandyky]

122. Too bad Ryan had to lie

If he is a Democrat, I'll eat shit!

[Union Thug]

123. A Kick For GUY!

Go GUY Go!

[JHB]

127. Speaking of things one "can't" do...

This guy can't put himself in someone else's shoes.

"I got mine, tough sh** to anyone else."

[vetwife]

130. I lost respect for McCain because he didn't take up for his family !

Just lost respect....

[Astarho]

134. I lost respect for him because of Black Mesa

just shameful

edit- Black mesa was the forced relocation of Navajos to radioactive spill land.

[Judi Lynn]

143. They kept it a big secret. I'm sure not too many people outside Arizona

have even heard about Black Mesa.

Thanks for the news.....

He should have helped the RIGHT people on this, f'r crissakes.

[Astarho]

150. The more I learn about McCain on Black Mesa

the less I respect him. He was Chairman of the Senate Comittee on Indian Affairs at the time he wrote the relocation bill.

[Dudley_DUright]

129. Excerpt from the Orlando Sentinel article Guy mentioned

a few minutes ago:

Vaccaro's designated rock slinger is Guy James, host of a "listener-supported" liberal-Democrat show in Bonita Springs airing on WPTK-AM 1200. James' listeners at the station are not so much pro-Kerry as anti-Bush, he said.

"It's a backlash against George Bush, his incompetence and the deceit," James said.

The rise in local Democrats' fervor is a good thing for a liberal talk-show host howling in the Republican wilderness. Unlike syndicated stars such as conservative talkers Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly, James does not attract advertisers. He has to pay the radio station "a sizable fee" to get just three hours of air time each Saturday.

"People have told me that they'd like to advertise on my show, but their conservative customers wouldn't like it," James said. "We are pariahs here. We get death threats and e-mail you wouldn't believe."

Unfortunately, the whole article is registration protected (but you can use your LA Times registration if you have one).

[Catshrink]

151. Check this out for the US historical ties to Saddam

153. Is that NSMA finishing off the last 45 seconds?

Good rebuttal. I'll be looking for the archives to catch the rest of the show that I missed. :hi:

[Judi Lynn]

157. Great call. Wasn't that NothingShocksMeAnymore? That jerk

[Dudley_DUright]
