Schaller "Whistling Past Dixie" on Washington Journal |

Anyone watching him. He's doing some excellent analysis of the Dem "Nor'wester" that hit the nation this election.

Rethugs have built their political power from the ground up on a couple of themes (RACE)....but how the Dems are just a hair away from having it all. Supports Dean's 50 state strategy.

2. Yes, he is and I hope that he and any more like him replace |

the Begalas and Carvilles and Braziles as someone who is tapped for consulting within the party. Heck, he'd make a good candidate.

4. Holy crap. Someone post a video of this SMACKDOWN. Some ignoramus |
|
called to say the South supports the Constitution. Schaller ripped his *ss through HISTORY...how slavery wasn't dealt with by the founding fathers because of the South, how the South voted against the civil rights amendments, the right of women to vote, public accommodations, integrating the Army.
Bottom line: the South has been racist and WRONG since Day 1.

9. If You Beleive That Then You Have To Ask "Why?" |
|
If, as you say "the South has been racist and WRONG since Day 1" then someone bette figure out where and when that trend started, what caused it right from the beginning, and what can be done to undo the 300~400 years of damage done by it.
Just making that statement without telling us what "Day 1" was, or what cause it, or how to avoid it in the future doen't do much good.

10. I Saw That - Awesome Smackdown! I Got Through To Him Earlier |
|
I was the one from Wisconsin who asked about the impact of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. I was very nervous, but I actually got through.

5. He's a master of the smack down. |
|
Such a good representative for the Progressives. I've seen several 'pundits' lately that are new (to me) that have really impressed me. I'm sick of Donna Brazille and forget Carville and Begala -- they are so out of touch with today's party.

He just gave a great response to a southerner who was saying the South and Republicans are the only ones who defend the constitution.
And then Schaller let loose on him with a string of undeniable facts. Good Man!

7. And the Terry Schiavo vote: how our vacation-loving *resident flew back for that vote. |

This guy hit every nail squarely on the head. I WILL BUY HIS BOOK "Whistling Past Dixie."
