1. This is gonna be good.

4. It is very thought provoking

Understanding what Kerry is and is not will help us continue to fight for the things Kerry identified as important in his speech tonight.

2. This is going to be good?

there is some guy bad mouthing Kerry - who are these people

on edit:

Oh it is Greg Palast and he is bad mouthing Kerry for saying he wouldn't send us to war because we want to go only if we need to go - and then voting for IWR....

I hate that Kerry voted for IWR but I don't think it is the same thing - if he had been President he wouldn't have iniated this bull shit like Bush did - he voted the way he did for unfortunately political cover - but I really don't think that means he would have started something like this.

This vote maybe a problem for him but maybe not because alot of people supported the war on the word of the liar who have now changed their minds. I never supported it because I've always known Bush was lying.

5. That's Palast -- Just hang in there -- Lotsa red meat stuff coming

trust me

6. Life is not black and white

Listen to what they say. Webb and Palast know a lot more about how things work than anyone you will see on cable TV. Both support Kerry, but without illusions that Kerry will be The Second Coming of RFK or MLK. You may not agree completely (I don't) but they are instructive.

(edit: to spell Palast without an 'e')

3. thanks! listening now

going to talk about the protesters, who weren't mentioned, vs. the elitists

sounds rad

[buycitgo]

7. he doensn't like the dems much....went after Clinton and Blair

big time in his book, which I bought from him at one of his readings, along with a video

he's more interested in economic liberty than political parties

uhoh.....talking about the razor wire pens over the freespeech zones

did the DEMS have anything to do with that?

or was it the governor/federal cops doing that?

what's the deal? I heard dems didn't have control over that

now talking about his meetup with Michael Moore now

not in mood for buzzkill right now

[never_get_over_it]

9. He brought me WAY down

and I'm sorry I listened for even a short time - oh well guess I should go to bed anyway.

10. You're right (but) ...

A good friend with better judgment than I called tonight to say that Kerry and the convention speeches has got it right in terms of a winning strategy for reversing the coup. I agree, but Kerry still is presenting a program based on the assumption that corporatist hegemony and economic democracy are somehow compatible. Better than Armageddon, but less than Utopia.
