Very discouraged, did you hear Rachel on AAR this morning?

[Nimrod2005]

She palyed tapes of last night's coverage of OBL on MSNBC --- Tucker, Tweetie, and Scarborough all saying that Osama is getting his talking points form the DNC, she played quote by quote accounts of them saying things like:

Kerry said we terrorize kids Osama said the same
Howard Dean said this is a costly war and its for Halliburton's profiting and Osama said the same
Tweeties saying Osama said the same thing as Michael Moore..etc.
...etc.....etc.

1. Time to complain to the advertisers about corporate media.

They're marching in lockstep now.

[peaches2003]

2. The Truth

Isn't it possible that the DNC is just speaking the truth and the only people who refuse to admit it are the Bush apologists? Screw them.

[Nimrod2005]

7. You are right ---- They are telling the truth except the people

who continue to lie, including to themselves, and cause more people to die.

[erpowers]

20. Another Alternative

For months I have been pointing out things like this and asking if these tapes were actually real. In earlier days I pointed out that for some reason when Bush would say something Bin Laden and Zarqwari would come around and then state the same thing. I was just about to post something about the newest Bin Laden tape, but I will just post it here.

Does anyone think that this new Bin Laden audio tape might be bogus. It just seems to me that Bin Laden would never offer a truce to America. It seems that this administration uses Bin Laden when they need him. Now the Bush Administration and all his supporters can say that the government needs to wire tap people's phones in order to find out what the terrorists are planning and stop them.

I am not saying that I do not believe Bin Laden and Zarqwari have done things that hurt American citizens. I think they have; however, they both seem to have great timing for the Bush Administration. They just seem to pop up whenever the Bush Administration needs to remind us that the world is dangerous. Remember this tape has supposedly been in transit since November 2004. Yes this tape was made in 2004 and only now in January 2006 made it to Al Jazerra. Talk about sail mail. That is a year and two months in transit. Does anyone else find it a bit weird that it took that long for the tape to get where it was going. Maybe I am wrong, but I do not think it takes men riding horseback that long to get that far.

3. To me, this proves that "Osama" is getting his scripts from

someone in a big white mansion with a wrought iron fence in the heart of DC.

[Frustratedlady]

6. I Agree

Isn't it convenient that they already have their "drown DNC" talking points?

Rove and Cheney must burn a lot of midnight oil.

[blm]

22. They certainly seem to have each other's backs.

[BigYawn]

31. Is it possible Osama is locked up in a secret prison somewhere?

and they are recording him to their advantage?

[baldguy]

4. Osama isn't a fool.

He wants the inept, incompetant & insane GOP administration to remain in power. He's never had so much attention & so much success. Bush has given him a 160,000 sq mi terrorist training camp, has given him the ideal recruitment incentives, and has done nothing to capture him.

[blm]

23. Plus, Bush got rid of that pesky infidel Saddam who Usama targeted for

overthrow for years.

[Benhurst]

5. Anyone who subscribes to a cable package which includes

FOX, MSNBC, etc., is supporting fascist news, whether or not he/she watches it.

Call your cable company and demand a package which does not include right-wing news, and be willing to quit their service (writing to the company why)if they can not provide you with a fascist-free package.

As long as you subscribe to a service, it seems a bit weak writing to a company which choses to advertise on it.

I've been without cable since I quit in protest in 2001, and I haven't missed it. There are enough liberals and progressives out there plugged into the system to force a change, if they were only willing to do without their boob-tube fix long enough to implement a boycott.

[don954]

12. if you have digital cable, block it on your channels list

they use the channels lists and favorites for demographics, so if you block it, it adversely impacts FOX's standing. Also, complaints about Fox's "hate news" and saying you dont want to subject your children to it have adverse impact on FOX's standing. I used to work for a major cable company, we looked at all these things when setting up channel line-ups.

[bunny planet]

17. That's what I'd like to do. I'm a little cable box challenged though. How

do you access the blocking option? I still want my cable for Olbermann but would love to demographically impair FOX and CNN (Foxlite).

[don954]

24. its diffrent for just about every TV and cable box

call your cable provider for their channel blocking guide, they are required to give you one on request.

[bunny planet]

34. Thanks I will.

[Sparkman]

16. FORD motors donates 75% to REPUKES, only Toyota favors Dems (74%)

and call GM/FORD/CHRYSLER, tell them you're next car will NOT be to any car company that gives over 1/2 of their political contributions to the R's. If you're a serious political ethics advocate.

[don954]

25. and boy, that worked out for them, didnt it?

their nearly bankrupt! guess they picked the wrong team to back, eh?

[Sparkman]

29. great observation....bad decision!

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Why does he always pop up and threaten the US whenever Chimpy is

in trouble? Right before the election in 2004 and now, that the WH and GOP are swimming in corruption.

[blm]

26. He's being advised by Rove.

[underpants]

9. They all seemed to have the same script ready to go

[second edition]

10. Interesting how the timing of the message,Cheney's wiretapping

comments and the RW media's talking points all came together so neatly and quickly. Amazing,whenever the Democrats gain some ground and Bush and Co. needs a little boost,Bin Laden pops up to lend a hand and with Americanized comments that seem to parlay the Democrats criticisms of this administration.
We can only hope people can see through this set-up. Let's change the message and throw this back at them. Why aren't we asking them why they have allowed this murdering terrorist to remain free to continue to recruit other terrorists and spew his American hatred around the Middle East?

[Zenlitened]

11. Are there any American patriots left in the halls of power?

Is there a man or woman in a position to blow the whistle on this, who has the courage and the will to step forward?

Or are the "suicides" and silencing techniques just too powerful now?

:shrug:

[zbdent]

13. Gee, and we mention the fact that a lot of Bush/Repuke actions

(which speak louder than words) reflect, almost mirroring, a certain early 20th century dictator, and we're called outrageous . . .

[Sparkman]

14. The U.S. & it's military have provided plenty of tradjedies to decry...

[blm]

15. Corporate media intends to strip these men of credibility with mainstream

Americans. That is why they take their words out of context at every opportunity.

This is a GOP operation within the media to marginalize the voices and the positions of any truthteller.

[Nimrod2005]

18. How does it stop? Opposition to them means pro terrorists>?

[blm]

19. DNC and EVERY Dem pundit needs to expose RW control of news media -

or else it WON'T STOP.

[erpowers]

21. One Thing

One thing Democrats could do is just continually point out that this tape is from 2004 which means many of the things that Dean and Kerry have said had nothing to do with the tape. This tape was in transit before Dean and Kerry said many of the things they said.

[Virginian]

27. We're gonna find OBL

in Crawford, TX, where he has been recording these things from Dubya's living room.

[Nimrod2005]

32. Right on!!! We just may....n/t

[dogman]

28. They received their talking points.

30. it's so obvious

they are all such useful tools.

[Cha]

33. Someone should point out to

bird-shit-man that osama is still around making tapes when the "Bring-em-on" cowboy issued a "Dead Or Alive" dictum on him..years ago.

I hope nobody is still surprised by the corporate media covering for the too stupid to be president.
