Check out New Democracy Project

at http://www.newdemocracyproject.org/

Once a day, Sept. 4-6, C-SPAN 2's BookTV will air NDP's Books on Bush panel discussion. Watch Paul Krugman, Amb. Joe Wilson, Sidney Blumenthal, Craig Unger and NDP President Mark Green reveal W's real record, and how to read and counter the neo-con talking points.

A MUST SEE! These guys have really done their homework and it shows.

It should be required viewing for everyone in the Kerry campaign.

3. Ditto
These guys were all great.

The people out there appearing for Kerry on the bobblehead shows and the bobblehead interviews need to learn from these guys. Most of these Kerry people making such appearances don't seem to have a clue about how to read the neo-con talking points in the questions asked of them, and also no clue as to how to respond. Witness, for example, Cahill's milktoast interview the other day - bland, boring, uninformed - they walked all over her like she was a carpet.

Lying down and remaining silent may make for good street theater, if you're trying to imitate people killed in an unjust war, but that tactic backfires as a campaign strategy - it's an invitation for the Rethugs to walk all over you. Just ask Michael Dukakis.

This has got to stop. Kerry himself could learn a lot from the five panelists on C-SPAN 2.

6. Saw it in the wee hours. Try to see it.
Lots of good info with some talking points the Kerry camp can use.

7. Is there a transcript for this?
I caught part of it during the day (thanks to alert DU'ers) and then taped the repeat at 11 pm.

If anyone can find a transcript, it will save me transcribing portions of it. The points made were good for brochure bullet points (with credit to the speaker, of course.)

8. I watched the entire 2-hour C-Span presentation yesterday...
It was absolutely great. Someone from DU had actually attended that live event and had graciously reported back highlights. Sorry I don't remember who it was, but it sure piqued my interest and I was glad to finally get to see it.

Also, just before that Mark Crispin Miller was on with his new book: Cruel and Unusual. He was just great also. I had never seen him live on TV and it was a genuine treat.

Thanks for the heads up on the website Seabiscuit. These guys laid out the straight truth. I hope many, many people see this.

10. I hope you all got to see this on C-SPAN2
If not I believe the transcript of the two hour program is now online to read. It's worth the time, folks.
