Randi is so brilliant love her.
Edited on Tue Jun-16-09 06:06 AM by GivePeaceAchance
Just listened to her show. It's a simple idea but so effective "think what you're for than you are against". Of course mostly speaking to those on the right but it's a simple but powerful message. It's worth the time making it into home made posters and plastering in every state. Hey if money isn't a hinderance make into bill boards. One that Move on could take and run with, with some imagination. It's positive, constructive and diverts the mindset from destroy, to create love it.

1. How about telling the rest of us what the simple but effective idea is?
I'd rather drink bleach than listen to Randi, so maybe a little clarification is in order?

2. I am not very good at expressing myself sorry , although never twisted anyones arm to listen to her.
Edited on Tue Jun-16-09 06:12 AM by GivePeaceAchance
Yeah she might not be everyones cup of tea but even though she is quite direct she is a very brilliant woman and love her for saving the world.

9. If she had a brilliant idea that will save the world I'd like to know what it is.
So maybe she's improved since I gave up listening to her constant yakking over over her guests who couldn't get a word in edgewise. And I still don't know what the brilliant, world-saving idea is.

19. She hasn't
I listen to her show some afternoons because I can't find another progressive show between 2 & 5 (I stream Hartmann live bewteen 11 & 2 so AM 950 is out). Same old thing.

Today was fun though, a caller was complaining about Liebermann not supporting a public option and she kept insisting that was because he supports single payer. When the caller disagreed, she decided to show him and play the Liebermann clip. The moment of silence when the clip ended said it all. At least she did say to the caller, "Now that I hear that again, I may have to agree with you."

16. I was thrilled when she left. I tuned in to one show after she returned, and
the first thing she talked about was how abusive her father was. I've heard that story so many times. She's the product of a very dysfunctional family, and sounds like Michael Savage.

17. Haha
Drink bleach. Remind me to use that one next time, definitely funnier than mine "pull my own fingernails out with pliers".

7. Last night on the Ed Show, there was a RW host named Heidi
Edited on Tue Jun-16-09 06:29 AM by rasputin1952
from Vegas spouting off about how changes in the medical system would "destroy' the country...(heard that before). But after a couple of tirades from her, Ed asked her what her solution was...silence.

Stephanie Miller was on as well...grinning ear to ear while the RWer self destructed. Steph knows the score, just a Randi does...these people are "against" things, they have no concept how to be "for' something...except the status quo, which is absurd, because none of them face the problems so many Americans face. This heidi said single payer would be too "good" and therefore it was "bad"...go figure...:eyes:

10. They're *SO* concerned about her voice, her manner, the way she looks, her personal life, etc etc
That they dismiss what SHE HAS TO SAY.

And if they don't listen to her, then nobody else should either.

14. Well, in my case, I won't listen to anyone who calls two women politicians
who I happen to respect "big fu**ing whores".

20. I'm not concerned about her personal life
and one of the reasons I get bored listening to her is because I'm not interested in her personal life.

11. Well, SHE would certainly agree with your assessment...
I think she can be savvy, but brilliant, uh, no.

21. Because forcusing right wing minds to constructive things over destructive things improves Obama's..
Edited on Wed Jun-17-09 12:39 AM by GivePeaceAchance
security ...yeah. That's why she's brilliant, it's an awesome idea, I love because she has a big heart. Her passion mostly comes from the fact that with Randi it's genuinely country first.
