The Cup O' Joe Report 01/20/06: The Enemy Among Us
This is a transcript of Joe Vecchio's daily "Cup O' Joe Report" podcast, availaible here and posted with the permission of the author.

So in the wake of a new tape by Osama bin Laden, the Republicans and their paid cronies in the news media like Chris Matthews have taken to attacking Democrats for the failure to capture him. Excuse me but who the hell has been in charge of the country for the past five years? Last time I checked, we had a Republican President, a Congress controlled by Republicans, a judiciary made up more and more of Republican-appointed judges, and a news media that only the marginally insane and the perpetually brainwashed can call "liberal". And to the Liebermans and the Bidens and all the other Democrats who are apologists for these criminals, don't think your pretense at bipartisanship will be rewarded: you're next on the list.

Some are calling for an apology from Chris Matthews, a man implicitly involved in Republican corruption, for calling Michael Moore (and others) terrorists. I say, forget the apology, what we ought to demand is his resignation, and the resignation of practically the entire broadcast media who are disgraces to their profession. We ought to impeach this President and every member of his cabinet, place them under arrest and hand them over to an international court on charges of war crimes where they can sit with Saddam and Osama and all the other scum we've backed over the years in the name of some ridiculous vision of an American Empire.

The greatest threat to any nation doesn't come from the outside, it comes from within. The enemy is among us.

1. Loved it! - Chris Matthews is too easily told how to slant his show right
and when to slant his show right.

The man has no balls or principles or care for the truth, and lives for the paycheck.

2. Chris Matthews is one of them.
He was born a Republican and will always be one.

3. A curious thing about tweety
He usually has two people with opposing views on at a time.Whomever is seated in studio is the one he sides with doesn't matter if it's a liberal or conservative,he always rips on the person on video link.I've heard him say Bush broke the law and I've heard him say he's an effective president.I can take tweety in small doses.

4. Does history repeat itself?...

Julius Streicher was sentenced to death by hanging at the Nuremberg Trial
Through his words and his deeds Julius Streicher assumed for himself the unofficial title of "Jew-baiter Number One" of Nazi Germany. For the course of some twenty-five years, Streicher educated the German people in hatred and incited them to the persecution and to the extermination of the Jewish race. He was an accessory to murder, on a scale perhaps never attained before.
The crime of Streicher is that he made these crimes possible, which they would never have been had it not been for him and for those like him. Without Streicher and his propaganda, the Kaltenbrunners, the Himmlers, the General Stroops would have had nobody to do their bidding.
In its extent Streicher's crime is probably greater and more far-reaching than that of any of the other defendants. The misery which they caused ceased with their capture. The effects of this man's crime, of the poison that he has put into the minds of millions of young boys and girls goes on, for he concentrated upon the youth and childhood of Germany. He leaves behind him a legacy of almost a whole people poisoned with hate, sadism, and murder, and perverted by him. That people remain a problem and perhaps a menace to the rest of civilization for generations to come.

5. That's right
Streicher wasn't the onlt one indicted from Germany's media, but he was the most obvious. FOX News isn't quite that bad, but they're still propaganda. Murdoch got kicked out of Australia for fraud and other crimes, I certainly think he should be charged as well. Tweety is a well-paid, useful tool for the right, he's an agitator but also a victim of his own ego. And he is involved with the Abramoff scandal, this we know. I hope I live to see the day when these people are brought to justice.
