On TV Now: Bush's Nuremberg Party Day in Florida

only thee legeestered lee-publicans konn ettend.

and is doing NO coverage of the global peace marches and rallies!

when medea benjamin appeared this morning, ONLY wingnuts got through during her entire segment.

write to c-span and complain. i did.

viewer@c-span.org

this is to the producers:

journal@c-span.org

I thought "journal" was Washington Journal. Copy both, or whatever.

I WAS writing to WJ to complain about the treatment of Medea Benjamin this morning...

my bad :spank:

n/t

Oh yeah...I won the C-span contest and they took everything I said and told me not to go there. It was susan. She did not want to hear anything bad I had to say about how vets were actually being treated. I didn't even recognize my interview after C-Span shot me down on the interview. They hadn't paid me yet either !

Write up your story about this C-Span contest interview? I want to know more about how you where treated.

I am not a cryer. But I cried that day. Now any of you who know me, know that I am outspoken. when I zapped Katherine Harris on CNN I did it politely. When I speak on Guy James show with the exception of today because I was riled so terribly with the wingers, I usually am very thoughtful but firm.
I entered the C-Span contest because deep down I always believed that they were extremely fair and balanced and said so in my essay.
I have a Focus Group Now site which is something I had to invent for the CD because I could not affiliate anything partisian on the Vet site of United Veterans as it is a 501 C. I have since put a disclaimer on the vet site and put a link there anyway, as no one is endorsed on that CD by name.

Back to the story. Susan called and said she was going to do the interview and she had me read the essay first. I did. She then asked me, which threw me off balance, what kind of terrain did I live in? What the heck does that have to do with Vets? I told her. She then asked how far was I from Atlanta ? I told her. I tried to mention how badly the vets were being treated and it went nowhere, it was a controlled interview. It was lets, retape and stay positive sort of approach. She asked what kind of industry we had here. Duh again, what does that have to do with Vets? I managed to get in the part about going to Washington and how Clinton/Gore handled that situation of the ADA not being upheld beautifully. That was the only partisian thing I got to say.

I knew they had me once I read the essay. Could have cut me off at any point. I have since seen what they have done to the other winners. Not many questions except for those you know are clearly republican and say so. They ask about the terrain and junk like that. I am used to calling in live and speaking my mind but anything Iwould have said, would have been cut.
We went to retape three times as it was. I could not bring up my Focus Group Now Blog and it was as big a part of my essay regarding the CD as the Vet site.

It was all a scam. I called them back and wanted another interview. No answer. To date, I have not received my money..the 250.00 prize nor has that interview been shown. Now I know they went to FocusGroupNow and really know how partisian I am and that is why it wasn't mentioned. FocusGroupNow is a little bitty DU or Smirking Chimp. But it does have a lot of info on there, but nothing good on Bush. She flat out told me they wouldn't be using or mentioning anything but the vet site, What do you wanna bet when they show the interview next week, which made me look very self centered by answering her dumb questions and not an advocate at all, they won't even show the website of United Veterans of America. What do you want to bet? I have held off calling C-Span as I want to call in that day if I can get through and tell the rest of the story. The rest of the story will be what is really going on with vets. I also saw her being rude to a winner who called in the other day who was running as a Dem candidate.

The whole scene is scary. On all 3 cable channels.

the on site reporter corrected her: 12,000

over her "100,000" quip. Interestingly enough, MSNBC was reporting 10,000.

The "snafu" at CNN was even more interesting when one stops to think that they had just reported, not even one minute beforehand, that there were "only" 30,000 war protesters in Japan.

Hmmmm. It seems we'll be getting all George, all the time, today.

Julie

p.s. Did anyone notice that * wasn't wearing a coat or tie today? Didn't the media whores endlessly mock another Democratic candidate for appearing in shirtsleeves?

they are bushwhores with the possible exception of Dobbs.

Didn't the media whores endlessly mock another Democratic candidate for appearing in shirtsleeves?
This is different. Sigh.

They are in some very dark room/convention center. I am aware of security concerns but on the first day of Spring why have it in the dark eerie looking place and not out in the sunshine?

The reporter gave it a Mmmmm non believing head tilt.

her makeup is especially plastered on and looks very harsh and the joker smile forever. Has on a turquoise jacket and black pants. She walks confidently and works the crowd--stopping to talk to a child, who paid not attention to her at first until his mom nudged him and then stopping to shake the hand of the token black person--all for the cameras, obviously an act. His Royal highness then enters--yippee--he gets to the stage and roughly grabs Laura and puts his arm around her and they both are bathed in the glory of their own presence as they pose to the cameras

nt

Watched Laura speak for about 3 minutes. That's all I could take.

* is wearing our colors.. so is Laura

God, put us out of our misery.

WTF - Lyn Swann is there? What an ass.

That's the punchline after the "foreign leader" reference. "He won't tell us who they are, but that's okay, I'm gonna keep my campaign right here in America."

Huge applause. Cheers. Screams.

Now hammering Kerry on flip flops.

He is vicious.

and gets the ominous USA! USA! chants in response..

I am so angry

Jobs, war and hate has been spread worldwide by this bunch but I am preaching to the choir aren't I?

continues to bash kerry brutally for what he says is waffling--crowd goes nuts. Now quoted Kerry-voted for the 87 billion before I vote against it. Brutal, the crowd cheering wildly and laughing at Kerry.

Bastard

in the past three years we have acehived great things . winning war against terra. truth and freedom --creating jobs and creating opportunity and compassion here.

He is truly insane.

I'd like to smack his face.

we will not tolerate dishonesty in the board rooms of Murica

Al quida network==crowd goes nuts. There is not a cave or hole deep engough to hide from American justice.

big appluase

violent and dangerous regime on earth-- we freed millions of people and america is proud to lead on this liberation

Now bashing Clinton=--- military underfunded but we gave the military the respect they deserve

No one can question the spirit and resolve of the US military.

It is the presidents job to confront problems not to pass along to future generations''

presidents job to step up and take respomsibolity for a tough job and that is how I will lead the nation

swipe at Clintons pending testimony

what a friggin' joke. What's with the Clinton attacks? What an ass.

"seig hiel."

What are these fools CHEERING about.

Lord have mercy upon us.

that this audience represents everything that is wrong with this country. Bush reads a lie off his crib notes, the crowd cheers wildly and waves their flags and then they all stop on cue. It's scary to watch this.

these are payed actors too

KC

"Sorry, the role of con-man Harold Hill has already been cast."

Dems should use Sousa music, it's stirring without being mindless. But that overblown Wagnerian intro for Shrub was almost creepy.

I don't mean to make too strong of a comparison with rallies I've seen in certain Riefenstahl films, because the fact is you don't have to be a Nazi to be a fascist.

George said "You don't win with partisan anger." Tell that to Plush Lintball and the legions of radio talk show hosts who nurture partisan anger on a daily basis.

Wow, they even managed to find some African-American supporters! See, they're not the party of the Confederacy-Bush is a uniter not a divider! :eyes:

has the insipid chimp EVER appeared without a black face or two DIRECTLY behind him???

:puke::grr::puke:

and then slowly pulled back to reveal the enormous sea of foam-white faces around him. The shot was before president Big Lie arrived.

Not CNN.

that there are plenty of Repugs wondering why they're (the black republicans) there as well. Any random visit to Lucianne.com will confirm that sentiment.

BBC and Sky tv carrying live. Have gone from ill, to angry, to depressed. My poor country --

and they'd all cheer!" I think the Beeb were expecting it to have some relevance to the 1st anniversary -- but no.

to hold his first campaign rally -- in FLORIDA! And did you cringe at the line about keeping his campaign based in America, and the chant starting, "U.S.A, U.S.A"? That's fine, but it sounded horribly smug over here, especially with the accompanying smirk --

Geez, this rally is SCARY. :mad::mad::mad::mad::puke: :puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

home ownership is at the hightest ever--250,000 jobs created over the last six months --the tax relief we passed is working

Laughing from crowd

This is very frightening!

If you are not with GWB.... You are Un-American???

What a bunch of fools!! Rabid frigging Blind Nationalist Faux-Christian crusade?? This is crazy!!

Biggest Liar on the Planet. This guy may indeed be MABUS....

"Four MORE years", they Chant???????!!!?!?!? WTF :-0

Someone open their EYES!!

Boy does that represent America or what? It does..In the late 50's
I will say one thing though..those repugs know how to rally behind their candidate and not whine like some leftist who think they really have a choice other than Kerry. I tell them Wake up !
Its Kerry, Bush or Move ! That is the only choice ......Kerry was not my first choice but he is my last ! Bad enough we got to hear all of the BS from repugs now the whiners who don't like the nominee are smearing Kerry. I have not seen it here on DU like I have smirking chimp. We must have higher intelligence gathering here. There is no choice. ITs Bush/or Kerry ...Thats it !

Wake up and smell the coffee, people, or they'll have that FOUR MORE YEARS!

We are now in FULL campaign mode - Kerry V Bush.

One man is going down.

Who is it going to be?

Who is DU for and who is DU against?

and begins to speak for Americans...clearly.

I see a lot of SS types standing real close to hime while he is speaking. (Tall statue types keep scanning the audience, don't applaud) Even though this is a by-invitation-only/Repub-only affair. Does this mean he is aware even his own party doesn't like him any more?

it's politics not news

heard that last night on C-Span......bush has his Fl."coalition of the Gullible" drooling over every word he says.

and did you notice the left side of his face.looks a tad bit bruised or chaffed.

really overdone makeup on Laura. That looked to me as if someone took an acrylic paint pallet and applied it to her eyes, and especially the lipes. Bizarre looking.

after a fun Friday night. Mussed hair, too.

They done him up like a NASCAR dad! And Laura looked like a Fox newscaster. (Female, of course). Bush even had on the blue button-down shirt, which is about as dressy as alot of men folk care for.

I tell ya, Goebbels losed his badge--whoever dreamed up this propaganda has it over Gerbbels ten times and more.

Absolutely total propaganda.

At the beginning of this "pep-rally" he said that after his speech people would be going door to door trying to register people to vote. For all their sakes, no one better show up at my door. I have a border collie that tries to bite the face off of any religious solicitors that come around. I'll be more than happy to introduce her to any of them that show up. They can stay the hell off of my property.:grr:

A ONE HOUR CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL. AND THEY WRAP IT UP WITH ANOTHER BUSH CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL. ANY EQUAL TIME LAWS APPLY TO C-SPAN????

yes, I'm pissed.

C-Span carried many weeks of Dems kicking George's butt most righteously.

I watched Theresa Heinz Kerry for a solid three hours on c-span during the Iowa campaign, and she was great! Don't know how this will pan out eventually, but the dems are ahead of the pugs as they have been getting coverage on cspan daily for the past several months.

Don't forget Kerry is on vacation. What's with all that fuss about a fall snowboarding? I think he's absolutely remarkable, snowboarding, parasailing, hockeyplaying, etc., etc. He's like, wow!

This was the World Vs. Bush...Not Kerry Vs Bush
Today was big news and none of the media wanted to show it but they will spend three days on Janet Jackson's boob, the Peterson murders or Martha Stewart. Nope this was media buy out whoring today. When you have every continent protesting foreign policy., It is supposed to be called News and not politics. There were soldiers..dead soldiers honored....There were outrages...there were some people gassed in San Francisco. I want the right wing to tell me again about the Left ..Liberal Media !

I thought she said the tickets to see Bush were free and they had something like 120,000 that they were trying to give away. Maybe I misheard her. I missed all the coverage today. Was his speech somewhere that would seat 120,000? If so and only 20,000 showed, that's alot of people that turned down free tickets. What a chump.

My sister was just happy she got to leave Orlando a day before McChimpster got there. Wouldn't that be a shitty end to a vacation!
