[Richardo]

2. thanx for the headsup - he's one of the best.

[BlueEyedSon]

3. "Now we know there was absolutely NO reason to attack Iraq"

Well said, Robert.

[truthspeaker]

13. "Now we know"? We knew that 18 months ago.

[BlueEyedSon]

22. The "we" keeps getting bigger!

Soon it will be the majority of Americans.

[truthspeaker]

24. Good point!

[Catfight]

4. Can you give a general account for those of us at work? thanks

[NewJeffCT]

Thanks~

[niceyoungman]

6. limited benefits

I read in a business magazine, I believe it was advertising age, where Air America is doomed because of an extremely limited audience and advertisers backing off. Oh well, what can we do?

[htuttle]

7. BWWAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Get thee behind me Satan!

[hlthe2b]

8. Yeah, right...

In your dreams..... Dems and Progressives have finally awakened. RW abuse and lies will no longer go uncountered...

[shoelace414]

9. Really?

It's doomed before it is even tried?

[niceyoungman]

12. dont kill the messenger

dad gum ill find the article tonight and let you guys read it for youselves. I listen but often wonder if the choir is all that is listening

[shoelace414]

14. Ratings

Radio ratings take seemingly forever to come out.

[hlthe2b]

20. they come out quarterly I believe... and only the first month on air was

covered by the last report...

[hlthe2b]

34. I think most would agree with your desire for tolerance and

a more civil political world.... I doubt many here would agree with your views on Iraq and certainly not Bush* approach to the war on terror. I certainly do NOT. But, I welcome you here to DU and will be curious to see if you change any of your views over time.... :toast:

[niceyoungman]

36. thanks for the welcome

and in all honesty I wouldn't expect many here to agree with my opinion on Iraq. I get the same reaction from my mother and father in law

[niceyoungman]

35. Why the right is wrong

Again soory for the previous speech and I think Kerry will win but I just hope he doesn't cower down and hope the UN will win this war

11. Talking about how S. Hannity reacts to Al Gore

"He's crazy!!!"

S. Hannity et al do not listen to content only to tone. They only listen to the tone of what they say themselves. So when they are passionate, that's good, but when Gore is passionate "He's crazy".

i.e. content doesn't matter - only the labels we ascribe to appearances. Thank you Morning-in-America-Reagan focus groups.

15. I love O'Franken Factor Music

Reich's book Reason, Why Liberals Will Win the Battle for America.. S
peaking of reason : Clinton last night said not to demonize

1. Reich 4 principles, "We believe in separation of church and state

2. concentrated wealth cripples America

3. there should a social safety net

4. rule of international law

[KittyWampus]

39. #2 Is Too Negatively Phrased- Should Read

2. Circulated Wealth Empowers America

[patrice]

16. 4 principles are not hard to ennunciate

Present administration is violating everyone of them.

Every basic principle upon which this nation is founded is being violated.

The 4 principles need a mnemonic (they said neumonic = Not).

Make a wallet size card with 4 principles of reason.

[patrice]

17. Call in Cheney is a Liar

Reich : Cheney is the biggest liar. The only connection that has been shown is between Cheney and Halliburton, not Iraq and Al Qaida.

[DeadHead67]

18. Saw him on the Daily Show . . .

Last night. EXCELLENT!!! Hey! Cube Rats! Got PC's? Tune in to Air America!

[patrice]

19. Call in - Gail Norton is the Biggest Liar

She's so calm and nice while she sells the environment out.

[patrice]

23. More Grateful Dead - I think

Chris Bell Texas Dem Rep.
Has filed an ethic complaint against T. Delay

Bell : Delay is the most corrupt politician in america today.

[patrice]

26. Franken - This is the roughest congress ever.

Bell - J. Wright vs. Gingrich was the model. They've taken that and kept going on, until there is no collegiality. There was supposed to be a truce.

1. Bribery and distortion with Ks. utility Westar (email docs) show $$$$$ into Texas PACS. TRIMPAC (?) ergo - Delay gang took over Texas Legislature.

2. Money laundering

3. Misconduct during Texas walkout.

Ethics committee has 14 days to certify complaint. Once it is certified they will need public help - Look for link to Bell's website on O'Franken's website.

[patrice]

27. Retaliating against

190,000 sent to Washington, and then Washington sends it back to Texas.

Delay decries the politics of personal destruction.

No one will go after him because they are afraid.

Chris Bell wants to do a service for our country.

Al will keep track of the developments for us.

[patrice]

28. Call in - My Favorite Bush Leaguer

Caller : May be 2nd favorite because everyone loves Scooter - May be the guy who outed Valierie Plame.

Al : Scooter may also take the fall for coordinating the Halliburton no-bid contracts.

Caller : My favorite Bush Leaguer is Brit Hume

Al : He's a shill. 9/11 Comm. said no connection Iraq&9/11. * = We didn't say there was. Hume = there was a connection. Al : Someone didn't get the memo.

[patrice]

29. Dial 866 303 2070 Music

Caller : My favorite Bush Leaguer = Anton Scalia, the duck hunter, and impartial jurist

Al - had 2 sons working for * during * v. Gore, but didn't recuse himself - Clarence Thomas also had a wife working on the * transition team

[patrice]

30. Caller - Our dear president himself has invented new forms of lieing

* - You know I'm lieing and I know you know I'm lieing and he absolutely doesn't care.

[patrice]

31. Caller - My favorite is Cheney

Caller - He's the best liar, because he's the most transparent. He looks down, can't look us in the eye. I could tell he's a very dishonest man.

Another Caller - My favorite is Rumsfeld.

[patrice]

32. Gotta go take my mother-in-law to dr. - bye - n/t

[redqueen]

37. Thanks for the details!

:hi:

[Raskolnik]

38. I wish he was a foot and a half taller...

so he could run for President.

Kerry better find a place for this guy in the Cabinet.
