Let's kick some a!!!!!!ss in Ohio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are mad as hell in Ohio and they are not going to take it any more !!
Just like the rest of America !
Flush them down the Toilet {CRAPPER}; Where THEY Deserve to-be !!!!!! That is their proper place !!! hey !!!!! Ya Know What I Mean !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
of course the republican party is expressing outrage. they are always outraged at President Obama. what else is new.
they always want to drag christianity into everything, knowing full well that their base will eat this sh!t up. it makes the republican party look like the "godly" party.
President Obama is NOT standing in the way of "honoring our nations distinguished world war II veterans". one does not need a prayer carved in stone to remember and respect our veterans. this is reminiscent of what the bush administration did during the iraqi war. they said if you are against the war, you do not stand with our troops, you are unpatriotic. the republicans are saying to President Obama, "if you are against a prayer, you are against the world war II veterans, and you certainly are not a christian". the republicans act like they believe a prayer or a godly statement is the ONLY way to honor someone's memory or anything else, for that matter.
so now we have this christian "prayer" debacle, and just a few days ago we had the christian "in god we trust" disaster, all props to distinguish the president as not in touch with what the american people really want.
overall, we are a christian nation. the republican party is using this as bait for the so-called christians in our country to gain votes.
its very easy to catch a person in a cage.
Here come the republican outrageous religious right. Hiding again in their cloak of Christ. A haughty group who call them selves christian. Again this descission was made ___"Should not be altered."
So you think the OWS is not violent. ARe you nuts? That is even reported by Ed Shultz...barely...but done. Look at your own BSNBC and they even say there is plenty of violence. You say its just a few outsiders that came in. Wow, I wonder if you said that about the racist slurs against the Tea Party. Did you come to their defense and say it was just a few outsiders coming in.
And your post was proven to be a lie in another thread AHM
And what reason should we pay o have this added? I'm curious as to why this is of any importance and to be honest it would not be that great of an addition just purely in the sense of artistic opinion. But no surprise the right is trying to make this some larger sign about religion in politics because they love to pretend to be guided by faith.
I am not an atheist and if you on the right care so much about the military why did you send thousands of our sons and daughters to pointless deaths in Iraq? And why did Bush fail to make real progress in both the wars he started? Or gay service member gets booed and not one person on stage says that's wrong or oh now of the course the story is they didn't "hear it" which we all know is crap if the mic picked it up they heard it...
If you for a single try to float that I or anybody else who isn't Republican hates the military or the United States I'll be more than willing to shove those worthless lies right back down your throat online or in person.
As a person whose parents both served in the military and would have never met had it not been for the US army you're very that you aren't sitting in front because I what have broken your worthless nose for what you just said. I love the US and I will not stand for this pathetic character assination attempt. The very fact that you would declare someone anti-american purely for no other reason than that they disagree with you is the antithesis of the tolerance and spirit this country exists and thrives on.
God bless the US military for defending your right to embarce yourself by saying childish things like this. By their blood is your empty head kept safe to make baseless insults toward those you disagree with.
Brother from another mother, does Cain mean that his father is also Koch's father!!
Still working on that claim, Paul.
hey more stimulus more government jobs thats what you guys want....... teachers police get their huge retirment packages from the little guy.... cant wait to see the vote in ohio.....................................
I'm sorry about your wife. I am a little confused though. You say she was a teacher but you rail against the teachers along with firefighters and police because of their pay and benefits. I don't get what you are trying to get across.
I wonder if he knows what a "Huge Retirement Package Is" It certainly isn't a teachers retirement. Maybe a congressman gets one and for doing nothing but taking breaks, and going out drinking every night. They prop them up in their chairs the next day so they can be there for roll call and then they crap out.
We CAN'T WAIT to see the vote in Ohio either.
ohh by the way slam cain ...typical what about mr. edwards?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Yes, Ed knows what we want to hear. Cain is just a little tiny fish. Of no value as far as I can see. The reps have already slammed him. Well not lush rimbrain, because we all know he is not raciest. He told us so and all reps believe the spew from lush.
Regarding Herman Cain and his serial sexual harassment of women: how would primarily-white Republican voters react if any of these aggrieved women are white?
I have yet to hear any report about the race of these aggrieved women. I don't have any problem with interracial relationships and marriages (or same-sex relationships and marriages), but I know of some Republicans who do.
So, I'm looking for clues as to the race identity of these women. Is having a white attorney representing one, and stating that she wanted to let bygones be bygones, an indication that his client is also white?
My feeling is that the Cain campaign is sitting on a powder keg, at least among white Republicans, one involving his past sexual harassment of white women working under him at the NRA...and Republicans are doing everything possible to keep the lid on this powder keg. For instance, this woman who got a settlement years ago and is now refusing to come forward, how much you want to be that she just got another settlement to keep her quiet?
Occupy Oakland had 10's of thousands in the street and if your news network will not spend more time on the news that is changing history then I'm watching Current TV 8 pm and 11 pm I seen thousands of people and little news coverage. This is why they are out there nobody is paying attention to the working class. So ED are you going to step out of the Republican joke candidate news hour out of hour or move into the front line and fight for the real change. Congress isn't working for us so why do you think these people are fighting for their rights. Let the Voice of the people be heard. I'm sick of watching Jail birds on this stupid channel night after night. That is a Joke and who ever is doing it needs to be fired.
Lead, follow or get out of our way MSNBC is only a little bet better than FOX so you know your not doing your job so get off your butt
First the OWS are not Violent.....the violent are outside instigators. Get some facts honey, and post a link that works. Oh, Sibyls can't do much of that can they?
agreed, thankful mom. the instigators are republicans like breitbart and okeefe and jesse waters and others not mentioned because they are too numerous.
Just a little interesting history here.
Eric Calson WWI Vet, also from Oakland, California. In 1932 the government promised returning vets a bonus, which they needed in those depression days. They were returning to their families, some with lost limbs, and other injuries. They had little hope of finding jobs. Much like this movement we see today. The promise was broken, so they set up a camp near Washington DC. and much like today the police attack them. Later the US Army attack them. Eric was one of those killed in the attack.
The revulsion of the America People at the attacks resulted in a decision by the Congress of $2 billion to pay WWI vets.
Another name you may have heard but do not know why, is Smedley Darlington Butler, Retired Major General, two time recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. He joined the "Bonus Army" encampment and supported the group.
Butler is today remembered for his epic denuciation of the military - industrial Complex.
This article and other information appears in "The Nation", written by John Nichols. It compares the events of then and now with comparisons to the Occupy.
Thankful Mom - Talking down to someone and stating your OPINION will not make the facts go away. I guess the reports of sexual assaults are all fabricated right? It is just a coincidence that protestors at Zuccoti Park are erecting female only tents to prevent more sexuall assaults (source the New York Post)? How about the report of a protestor in New York (Fisika Bezabeh is the name, Google it) throwing a credit card reader at McDonald's employees who refused to give him free food- sounds kind of violent to me. I could provide more examples if you like "honey."
It's a shame that the GOP would stoop to such low tacticts to fulfill their agenda. Why would they care how the middle class, and poor can survive to satisfy the greed that breeds in their blood, mind, and cold demonic souls. They are so afraid of socialism, but can't see the fact that their actions is actually bringing the concept to light among everyone except the GOP. They are so afraid of Obama, that they would go as far as forgetting what our founding fathers envisioned. The GOP is the equivilent of the tyranical British regime that began the revolution which in the end ceated thr "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". Not the United greed association.
We now have the 99% protesting in the streets. Up til now, it has been relatively non-violent. Each day however, the rage seems to grow, and the protesting groups are gaining in numbers. I'm not an advocate for extreme violence, but rest assured people will start being killed with all the rage, and feeling of hopelessness. If in fact this comes true, I just hope it's the right people are the victims. As matter of fact, I'm quite surprised some radical groups have not done so already. I suppose time will tell. In closing...do what democracy has done in voting in Obama. If you think you can do better, then do it fairly, and let democracy take it's course without intentionally hurting your American people.
Please pardon any miss-spelled words, or grammer. Even so, I hope my point has been made. Thank you for your time in reading "my" opinion.
Paul very well done I wish I could spell as well ad you do and express my thougths. I tried but I actually had to teach myself to type but I also taught myself to seek out news real news not they night after night crap like Herman Cain, Herman Cain, Mitt, Perry.
I want to see history when it is happening. I love these people that are willing to do the hard work while as I hate to say it MSNBC sits back and denies the facts to the people. I seen at least 50,000 or more people close the Oakland ports today a General Strike. I been praying people would not go to work for 30 years and then the Government will be shut down and they will come crawling to us and begging us to say them. I truly believe this because the GREED and lies they spread need money. No money no government, No Cops getting paid.
Think people this same brain washing on TV is a joke. Our brothers and Sisters are changing history now and this network isn't doing enough to back them and stand up for them.
Some times I can't tell the difference if I'm watching FOX OR MSNBC it gets so muddy and dark the words are so tic for tat
Oh, we have some fearful fox's coming over to insult and degrade those who have a different opinion.......like liberal. What is the matter is ED's truth too much for you to take so you come to his network to protest. Does that make you one of the OWS......protesting? Now if the best you can do is try and intimidate those who post here. I have news for you.
WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IS OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE:
a sibyl rereg, and with no visible means of support of facts.......so take no notice.
if anthing, this story has been planted by the bagger/republican party.
So then OWS protesters hate jews not because prevalent antisemetic messages but because there are antisemites there
so then Kitty by your own logic the tea party is in fact racist because racist people also don't like obama. You trying to tell us that right with your guilt by mild association rhetoric, glad to you believe that. Well let me tell you that's not possible I mean by in large most people who hate jews aka neonazis vote on your side of the aisle does that make YOU a racist? No, but your YOUR logic it would...
It is says something about a message when people attempting to attack said message have to do it by the attacking the people associated with it
Rumors
they are like A-holes everyone has one. some just stink more then others.
People Watch this is Ed, or any other MSNBC talk show refused to allow you to see the truth their are other ways to find out the facts. Same voices same crap. I enjoy listening the real news that is happening now in your life. People ,real people not paid help are speaking and taking action in the street of this country. They are closing the ports stopping China's junk into this country that is stealing our futures a few GREEDY CEO's and CONGRESS passed these laws to put a slow death to the middle class. Please check this out and Watch Current NEWS at 8 and 11. Screw the republicans bull night after night. Survive for ED are you willing to move out of your office and go to the major marches in America and get the the FACTS out. Second Veteran harmed by Police tonight while he stood doing nothing. The Police beat him and locked him up in a truck for hours in pain from being kicked and beat. He wasn't walking alone away from the March and we have to watch Cain and Mitt night after night for the Democrat party. That is what this seems like to me MSNBC seems more worried about Obama than the people of this country. WE need leaders like ED and he is worried about the same crap everyday while the people are getting stronger and stronger alone and waiting for the news to tell this nation we been sold out by the media most all media.
