Rolling Stone reporter on Bill Maher says Edwards is surging

YAY - can catch it again on re-palys during the week.

Bill Maher is saying John Edwards is the one who has the message, and why isnt he
doing better?

Rolling Stone says he thinks its mostly about the media

Bill Maher says the corporations are strangling this country and the little man.

Interesting he always said he was a Libertarian, but is sounding for Edwards

Now talking about how the media is ignoring Edwards

see it - you'll be cheered.

Rolling Stone talking about listening to John Edwards and feeling guilty about the luxury hotels he's staying in while John is talking about the people who dont have food to eat.

Wow 0- John is so getting through.

I always wondered if Obama and Hillary might cancel each other out.

Buckle your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

And MSM wonders 'why' ? The media company ownerships knows why.

...as much as they fear Edwards, Kucinich and even the fringe Libertarian, Ron Paul. They are just so out of synch with the corporate elites.

I almost expect the part of the media (very small unfortunately) that actually reports on John Edwards to start giving him mass amounts of time just to make it somewhat fair - the SOB media has treated him like some actor from the 50s that they accused of being communist or something!

Now that's three - Lou Dobbs earlier, Howard Finnman on KO and now Bill Maher ... hey, Thanks Larry! Your little hit piece earlier may just have the opposite effect.

... and so sees some audience-attacting value in softening his attacks against him.

and the debates are the worst garbage --- !!!

support Edwards. Edwards would make some real changes, without real changes the strangle hold the Corporations, media and the Military Industrial complex have on us will simply continue to tighten.

Edwards. Played Hillary delivering one of Edwards classic stump speeches about visiting people in their homes who were worried about their jobs and their future and about how the middle class was being left behind...

Word for word Edwards, just done in a female voice. Most Americans wouldn't even know that John Edwards has been talking about this for a solid year, because the MSM won't cover him.

But then you could have knocked me over with a feather when both KO and his guest mentioned that this was what Edwards has been saying all along.

I think people like KO are starting to feel guilty. They know that people are going to look back at this election and say "The corporate media interfered. Just like with "Gore is a liar" in 2000 and "Swiftboat Vets" and CBS and Rather and the Exit Polls in 2004, the MSM in 2008 tried to interfere with the election, stabbing the John Edwards campaign in the back because they did not like his politics." And KO is trying to protect the reputation of his precious news media by giving Edwards a little bit of publicity on his show now, so that he can look back later and say "It isn't true. Edwards got coverage. I did it." Just like KO was supposed to prove to the world in 2004 that NBC cared about what was going down in Ohio, even though the network was one of those that would not release its exit polls.

Too little, too late.

I know that KO has a lot of fans and he does some good work, but he sleeps with a corporate devil.

but MSM keeps throwing the 'horserace' crap out there without any specifics to diferentiate the candidates. WHAT does Obama say that's different from Edwards ? besides using a lot of "change" and "hope" adjectives ? This is the equivalent of Biden's critique of Giuliani,

performance !

He needs to win a state and win one soon. Personally I hope he does. I like Obama, but Edwards is likely the strongest candidate we have, especially in a time of looming economic troubles. He needs new speech material. It's not bad, but he repeats himself too often.

:)

have actually HEARD his speech, and with the way things are, most democrats still haven't.

I guess.

Glad Maher is helping...Rolling Stone is a big kick!

K&R.

Petty and childish.

some encouragement for John. He isn't taking all the Big Biz/Lobby $$$ like the others....everyone has complained about this for years...and now they IGNORE that fact about him entirely.

I just don't understand why Edwards isn't the darling of the Dems. I don't get it. Are people that unaware? Are they still listening to the MSM?

Would someone also please show me the big major differences between HRC and Obama? On policies. Where do they differ that much? Both are taking Big Biz $; both are surrounded by some yuck advisors.

And I thought Dems were sick of religious wingnuts....has anyone looked at the website for the church that Obama goes to???

I don't get it. Are americans that uneducated and easily manipulated by image, spin, and speeches? Never mind, don't answer that.

I talk alot about politics at work.....they all say "Don't get her started" lol....but most listen to the evening news and such....they don't search for answers like we do. They don't know! Most are just busy in their day to day lives, trusting what they hear on the news or read in a local paper.

keep them informed. When I find out from a person that they get their info from TV, I always tell them: Well, in that case you are only getting the info that THEY want you to have. You are missing what is really important.

I don't want another religious nutcase for president. I don't care what color they are.

I am a staunch supporter of separation of church and state. And I'm not a big fan of organized religions...they just seem to start wars and create havoc.

I've seen a few of the talking heads saying the same things. It was nice to see them giving John credit for leading the conversation. I've been saying the same thing for some time.

my husband said its just because i can't stand him and everyone smashed down what he said anyway, but everytime he talked i wanted to hit the mute button.

How anti-bush can you get?

Now, if he'd just start talking impeachment for war crimes and promise to ACT to return to American values, his surge might merge with the mother lode of support in the primary electorate.

it's his opinion.

and if in fact Edwards is surging, it's from a distant third to a not-so-distant third.

But he's not surging. No polls show any such phenomenom.

I don't have HBO but read Rolling Stone and he is the political reporter.

He was on Colbert a few days ago.

/me loves me some Matt

Tony Snow was absolutely disgusting last night. Taibbi put him in his place though, I thought Snowjob was going to lose it at one point.

Was Taibbi on another segment?

I don't have HBO, unfortunately.

:kick:

and not even that. His "I'm a Libertarian" spiel is bullshit...always has been. He's a smart, cynical, misogynistic, misanthropic left-libertarian with a TV show.

Of course, on this matter, he's quite right.

Maybe if we pester the MSM enough........
