5-1 panel literally SHOUTS DOWN Shrum and the mere suggestion that CIA would mislead

[Atman]

Where? Surprise! Morning Joe. The Torture Party is out in full force today. I'm no fan of Bob Shrum, but I don't think I've ever seen such a display rudeness and childish behavior on a supposed news/issues program. Against a panel completely stacked with right wing Torture Party operatives, Shrum recounted the history of the CIA lying and misleading, from the Bay of Pigs to Iran Contra to Iraq...he was quite literally shouted down and laughed at, often by all five of his hosts at the same time. After ten minutes of refusing to allow him to make his case, they said "This was FUN!" and asked if he'd come back tomorrow...to which Shrum said yes.

Bob, that was your opportunity to tell them all to shove it up their collective ass.

1. When is someone going to say:

"Who cares whether or not Nancy knew? How does that change the fact that the White House sanctioned torture?"

8. they won't. they like this focus better than on any actual news

or doing anything about what the bush administration did. torture is illegal. they sanctioned torture.... are there not other people in other countries being focused on for this kind of stuff. the fact that we won't hold our own accountable makes me sick.

2. a coordinated message on every network

3. Write to the networks to complain. I have.

Let them know that they're missing the real story. Pelosi couldn't have done anything about it anyway. She would have been brought up on treason charges if she had.

Tell the networks you want to know who AT THE TOP ordered torture. And tell them THAT IS THE STORY.

5. My ears!

Off topic, but I had no idea Maria Bartiromo has such an annoying voice. Yikes!

6. Our Democratic Representatives need to NOT appear on Mourning Ho-Jo. They talk bad about them

as soon as they're off the air.

Don't go on that putrid show anymore. That will teach these clowns. :shrug:

7. television is a powerful drug and these folks are all junkies....regardless of how they're treated

9. From what I saw the entire topic was supposed to be about division on "the left"

Guess what you chattle WE are allowed to say if we disapprove of "our leader"'s decision. WE have no hierarchy of message on what and how to talk about everything. Yeah WE aren't "on message" like the right but then again WE haven't been consistently wrong about every single thing for 40 years.
