1. Well, let's work on that, shall we? Let's make sure the elected officials

who bother to stand up for us are lauded as some of the best there are on the Hill!

Maybe some blogs and DU should single out Conyers et al for civic duty awards?

2. on the whole it's good news

all (at least most, i didn't check every one) those google hits are for essentially the same wire article. most the article presents our side and the quote you are pulling out does not represent the general tone. any publicicy is good publicity at this point IMHO.

[BR_Parkway]

4. Not completely disagreeing, but it would have been a better

article if it had mentioned WHY it wasn't currently a bi-partisan forum/hearing - All the Repukes were invited, none of them showed up. Instead they get a quote from the opposition calling them partisan and "faux"

I'd bet my (slim) checkbook balance that if I tuned in to OxyRush, InSannity and any other RW screamer today, I'd hear that exact phrase. It's how they spin it. 2 days later, any RWer on your email list will be using the exact phrase.

Remember how "flip/flop" became the phrase of the day? First one comment, then repeated ad nauseum, people at the water cooler, finally, the sell out MSM would "some are calling Kerry a flip flopper" and "under scrutiny because some have labled him a flip flopper...". McDonalds would kill to get such oft repeated word recognition.

As good ole' Matt would say...developing....

8. I wouldn't take that bet. It's for suckers.

The fact that Republicans were invited and neglected to attend should be broadcast loud and clear!

[Catherine Vincent]

17. I agree. It should be shouted for months on end....

that Republicans DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR DEMOCRACY!

5. I hope your assessment is correct and I am glad to hear it. nt

[electropop]

7. I agree any publicity is a start

It's encouraging, especially when you remember the Ghandi quote oft-repeated here lately.

First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
Then they fight you
Then you win

They're past the laughing phase now. The more shrill the responses, the more attention they draw to the issue, and the more they reveal their panic.

3. I guess our job is to see that "faux hearings"

are as believable as "faux" networks. Maybe there will be some kind of word association - Faux = FOX?

I shouldn't be flip really - this pisses me off. You really think the line was programmed by Karl? How can people be so willingly brainwashed?

6. Our reply: Release the source codes and produce the machines

That will promptly shut up the Ney-sayers.

9. Well they wouldn't need to be unofficial hearings if Republicans would...

do their damned jobs and stop insisting that they have ownership over every issue. Maybe thats what the ownership society really means, a society where Republicans own everything including all issues of importance. This hearing was unofficial, but it was not "faux" as Congressman Ney would suggest. If the Republicans would have been onboard on holding hearings NOW as Conyers and the other Democrats wanted then they wouldn't need to be unofficial. The problem here isn't "faux" hearings. The problem here is Republican obstructionism. Pure and simple. Its not unlike the new Republican directive that only bills that have the majority of the majority will reach the floor. This isn't democracy. Its a one-party dictatorship disguised as democracy. Only a "faux" democracy such as the one we currently have under Republican "leadership" would we ever need to hold so-called "faux" hearings.

10. what should we do?

Email all of them about groundswell of public outrage upon growing evidence of Ohio election fraud?

[AmerDem]

12. Thanks for the post

Nice collection of Rove's corporate news message. We know now they are shaken. Just wait until the ball really gets rolling!

[ragin_acadian]

13. Faux hearing is better than no hearing.

[righteous1]

14. If they were honest they would call it an

election discussion forum, that's what it was. Instead they called it a faux hearing = fake hearing

[New Earth]

15. Faux hearing on our Faux Election

regarding our Faux president

brought to you by our Faux liberal media

:puke:

[Razorback_Democrat]

16. Then why isn't Faux News covering it?

oh, I forgot, they are Facist News now

Faux elections
Faux Representatives
Faux pResident
Faux war on terror
Faux dead soldiers
Faux disenfranchised voters
Faux global warming

everything in my world is Faux?

Well Faux you! Mr. B*

18. silly question: what does MSM stand for?

Must Suck Media?
