Fascist Fridays with Brian Lamb. What a treat!
Right now he is discussing which party has the best propaganda. Guess which way he falls?

2. I quit tuning in on Reich-wing Fridays....
It is too painful to watch. Tell me which neo-con from AEI is his guest today?

4. Carr is a right-wing wanna be Limbaug.!!!!
Edited on Fri Jul-16-04 06:43 AM by Cobalt Violet
:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: Bush appologizer and ass kisser.

Braude may be semi tolerable to listen to although it has been close to 3 years since I have seen his show.

6. He just noted that
Carr and Braude were on opposite ends. It will be interesting to see how he interacts with each one.

10. Braude is not a Democrat
He is a Naderite who sees no difference between the two parties.

8. I thought so too.
Edited on Fri Jul-16-04 06:46 AM by Cobalt Violet
He did bash Clinton back when lots of other "democrates" did as well, that is why I said semi tolerable to listen to. I just can't trust what he will say really.

9. I'm not watching CSPAN but...
sounds like they're trying to get some local input on John Kerry. Carr will trash JK mercilessly and Braude will "defend" JK by trashing him mercifully.

12. You got it. Lamb CANNOT give liberals a fair chance. It is against
his beliefs and soul.

27. The usual Faux Democrat that is "permited" by Pravda to have a voice
because he says what they want him to say, topically-speaking.

Oh, in the Managed Democracy of Imperial Amerika, things aren;t quite so ham-fisted and obvious as it was for Stalinists when they did essentially the same thing.

Braude KNOWS if he fails to carry the Script, then Pravda will find someone who WILL!

13. Fair and Balanced?
Yesterday evening, John Kerry spoke here in Charleston Wv to a crowd of 7,000 people! We have four local TV channels here in the area and none of the four aired Kerry's speech! Today, Bush is due to make a "Campaign Stop" in Beckley Wv, which is fifty miles from here and every station will have "Complete Coverage" of Bush's 10th visit to Wv!

Call mike Powell and tell him to wake up, somebody! Tell him there's going to be a Boob on TV today while you're at it!

19. "living la vida large"??

17. The latest GOP dirty trick on display
and that's the Kerry is an elitist bully who pushes the little people out of his way. Reichwingnuts are being encouraged to call in tallk shows and tell their "true" stories about how Kerry has elbowed them out of the way. This has been going on for the last few days. Also, we should all hate Kerry because he married wealthy women. He was supposed to make his money the way Bush did -- through Daddy + Friends sweetheart deals and robber baron tactics.
These are the talking points the WH has their footsoldiers flogging: Kerry is an elitist bully. Kerry is "fabulously" (Card's word) wealthy. Kerry married wealthy women. And Kerry is arrogantly masterminding the shutdown of Boston through the Dem. convention.
No issues. No substance. Just grade school rumor, gossip, and rudeness. Now Card is calling Kerry a "gigolo".
CSPAN has hit the bottom today.

26. Those are the talking points that appeal to Bush's base.
Did you ever see or hear a freeper talk about substantive issues since the attacks on Clinton? The right wing knows how to keep the freeper base and that is by the use of no issues, no substance, bull shit. It is the shtick of Rush and all the Rush wannabes.

The right has two bases, the more intelligent wealthy who are using the government to grow their wealth and the ignorant freeper types. The wealthy will back anyone who promises them more wealth and the freepers will back anyone who plays on their fears of the evil liberals.

20. After seeing Theresa in action
What's NOT to love, but I'm sure it was just opportunism on Kerry's part. /sarcasm

25. Card should not have been a CSPAN guest
I believe this selection to be very wrong on Brian Lamb's part. Card is in Coulter terrirory. No substantive arguments. Nothing factual. Just character assassination and name-calling. Gigolo. Elitist.
Lamb made a bad call.

22. I am related to a politician in my native country. Women flock to these
political persons even if they look like sh*t. Power is an afrodisiac. Carr must want to bite his elbow out of jealosy.

23. He wants to emphasize Kerry's mother not his father... I wonder why?
Oh, because his mother belongs to a dirty "elitist" family.
I am waiting to see what dirt he is going to spew about Teresa.
