7. CLG.org
has been around since day one of this fight. Mike is a passionate guy and a good fighter. His site was the first one I found after the inauguration.

16. When you write to thank them,
please ask why Mike was the only guest on the panel who wasn't a WH bootlicker. He was outnumbered, yet his view represents more than half of the country.

And we Democrats aren't anti-war. We support wars when they make sense.

26. Here is the email address for MSNBC
<joe@msnbc.com>

People wrote about him after his first appearance, and he's been on a few times since. So let MSNBC know you want to keep seeing him.

If you write Rectenwald, be sure to also drop MSNBC a line. They're the ones booking him.

11. He's great! He's the guy who was screaming about fraud the last time.
Even his facial expressions in the split-screen shots are great!

And did that lady do her lips with auto paint?

12. GO MICHAEL GO!
http://www.legitgov.org/ - Sign up, send money, spread the word- this is a wonderful team of reporters. Lori and Michael do a terrific job- sign up for their newsletters- you won't be sorry!

Michael is going gangbusters. Wish Buchanan would let him talk for a few minutes longer without interrupting or letting others stop him.

Somehow, I predict he will find a way to work in the fraud. Can't wait for the commercial to end.

14. The truth; Mike is right
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 10:35 PM by Carolab
the Democratic party is AGAINST THE WAR. Our "leaders" have compromised themselves for "electability". What choice did they have? The media beat the drums 24/7 FOR the war and convinced the sheeple that it was a GOOD thing. The tide was turning, by the polls, and Kerry and Edwards should have spoken out against it.


By the way, after Mike was on last time, I wrote and told them they insulted him by giving him the chance for only one comment. I suggested that Mike not come back on unless they could give him at least 15 minutes of solid time. I don't know if it helped. But there he is. Everyone, please write the show and thank them for letting Mike speak out this time. Also, suggest to them that in future they BALANCE their "panel". Three Republicans against one Democrat is anything but fair. Also, please write to Mike and thank him for speaking the truth as he does.

19. Carolab -- It is a complement to Rechtenwald that they have 3 Repubs...
Did you read Jeff Cohen's (FAIR) statement about why he stopped working with Phil Donahue? It wasn't Phil -- it was the network insisting that for every Dem there had to be two Repubs. When they invited Al Franken (I think) the network insisted that there be three Repubs. Jeff jokes that he wanted to invited Noam Chomsky on the show but the studio wouldn't hold the 67 Repubs that they would have to invite for balance.

Go Noam! Go Jeff! Go Mike Rechtenwald!

29. We need to start using that...
"You know, Joe Lunchbox, they can't win the discussion fairly, so they need to stack multiple Radical RWers against every one Progressive!" And we need to start referring to our folks as two-winger and three-winger guests - as in, "Michael Moore? He's a three-winger guest."

NGU.

21. I will write the show, and I will write
Mike too,
I wrote him last time, and I also wrote MSNBC asking to have him back. And I wrote a very nasty letter to the station after they had him on with the Coulter hag, and allowed him one sentence.

This was pure bullshit too, all those Repukes and Mike.
Mike is brilliant, and I am glad to see him again.

18. Pretty easy to talk someone down
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 11:08 PM by Carolab
when was the last time you were in the hot seat on national TV up against four barking Republican idiots?

Mike does just fine.

One thing he MIGHT have reminded that IDIOT from the Manhattan Institute who so cavalierly referred to sleep deprivation as "missing beauty sleep" is that John McCain said of torture "it's wrong and it doesn't work anyway".

How anyone can defend what is being done to those detainees is completely beyond me. And for her to make the statement that we don't know if they are planning to fly jets into buildings is COMPLETELY LUDICROUS. In the first place, these people have not been charged with anything. In the second place, they are IRAQIS. Saudis and Egyptians flew those planes into the buildings, if you believe the "official story". And what about the involvement of the Israelis?

The torture is wrong through and through and--as Mike rightly pointed out it is the FBI that has reported that Bush is to blame.

Lawrence should NOT have been "axed" for his Swift Boat honesty.
