Rachel has me in tears with all these attacks

[malaise]

on African-American men - the Kansas city mayor is on with her now

[Karadeniz]

1. How many years must the cannonballs fly before they're forever banned...

How! many years must some people exist before they're allowed to be free....
Just listened to Blowin in the Wind...

[malaise]

2. Isn't that the truth

They hate us when the reverse should be true

[uponit7771]

3. +1,

[housecat]

9. Great songs never get old-- they age like good wine

[DENVERPOPS]

10. Anyone remember in the run up to the Iraq War

When Sinclair's 500+ RWing radio stations across the entire nation put out a 100 Song DO NOT PLAY list? This song was on that list, along with all the other anti Vietnam war classics........I am sure Cheney/Rumsfeld were behind that move........

[James48]

11. I have never heard that before.

Can you point to any historic data that shows that?

[gay texan]

16. Yeah the B-52's

We're banned for a short while. The band was not happy

[DENVERPOPS]

17. Actually yes

Sorry, I got some of it wrong...... it was Clear Channel, and it was 1200 radio stations. It was, as I remember, not merely a suggestion for radio stations.......The list included most of the Anti-Vietnam War protest songs.......

"After the 9/11 attacks, Clear Channel Communications distributed a suggested song ban list for its 1,200 radio stations. Included on the list are "Imagine" by John Lennon and all of Rage Against the Machine's songs". Wikipedia.........

[SouthernDem4ever]

12. Yes, can't have songs by dangerous people

like Peter, Paul and Mary and the Kingston Trio and especially, Bob Dylan SMH

[housecat]

24. Even Freddie Mercury

[babydollhead]

20. John Lennon's "IMAGINE" was banned!

[electric_blue68]

4. {hug}

While this was the Journalist one when she played the sheriff & co. possibly planning murder... I gulped and got teary-eyed.

I already just commented on the the black teen shoot by the old white guy on other threads.

[McKim]

8. What a Shocker!!!

That was quite a program tonight. More Black Mom’s grieving and scared mean old white men with guns. What a disaster! The conversation with the county government and sheriff really exposed some Evil stuff. These attitudes are hurting our country and holding us back. I hope the journalist and his family are long gone now from Oklahoma!

[NJCher]

13. OK, I found someone on DU who admits to shock

LOL. Because you should never admit that here. You will get told you are a naive fool for expressing shock.

But since you admitted it, I will concur that I, too, was shocked. Absolutely riveting, listening to these idiots talk about hanging black people and plotting to murder the press.

Just absolutely mind boggling.

If any of you missed Rachel tonight, please check to see if Rhiannon posts excerpts. It is a must-see.

[malaise]

18. THIS

Must see

[LiberalFighter]

5. Seems we are going backwards with humanity. Not how it should be.

[NJCher]

14. indeed

as a species, it certainly seems we are regressing, not moving forward.

We have some smart individuals, but for whatever reason, we are collectively stupid.

[SouthernDem4ever]

6. I was raised in the age of aquarius

and am ending up in the bronze age.

[Marthe48]

7. I'm sorry

n/t

[NJCher]

15. the KS city mayor was amazing

I don't know how he could be so level headed under the circumstances.

Another riveting part of the program.

[leftyladyfrommo]

19. We do have an impressive mayor. KCMO. Nt

[Emile]

21. McCurtain county story in Oklahoma was really something. I can't

believe the county officials including the sheriff are not all in jail. The FBI is in on it now, so maybe today they will be arrested.

Reporter for local newspaper secretly recorded a secret meeting of county officials discussing hiring a hitman to take out two newspaper reporters and burying them.

[malaise]

22. That made my jaw drop

[Emile]

23. The racist lynching remarks too and how they got more rights

than we do bs! Jesus Christ talk about racist violent comments!
