Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich was missing from the stage at last night’s Democratic debate hosted by MSNBC in Las Vegas after he lost a last-minute legal fight with the network over his participation. Last week, NBC told Kucinich that he had met the criteria for the debate. Then, less than two days later, the network changed the criteria and declared that Kucinich was no longer qualified.

Unfortunately Democracy Now listeners aren't the ones who need to hear Dennis...they already know the truth!

8. that was yesterdays show
found it reprehensible myself when Kucinich was the more pressing topic, but Im sure their scheduling is hard to switch up at the last minute.

9. just heard it. the questions and Dennis' answers show why they wanted him out
