C-SPAN WJ: James Risen...American Hero
Already Pedro's following the Norah O'Donnell questioning. Trying to pry at his sources and putting the blame on him for exposing the story.

Have at it...

2. Sure...
Didn't know anyone was awake.

Already one caller hits him with how Risen is a toadie of the left...how we should allow our "elected officials" like the prznit, vice reichmarshall and their henchmen over a bunch of leftist "aparachniks". Sheesh, did someone dust this one off from the 70s?

Now one's wondering if Risen is worried about going to jail and what a traitor he is. Didn't 9/11 change him?

These people are going after him with everything they've got...and that includes the corporate media.

3. Describing His Book...
If you've seen Mr. Risen interviewed, you know what he's talking about. The insulation of Chenney and Rummy from the rest of the booosh regime. It's similar to what Seymour Hirsch has been writing about for years. Good to see someone else on board.

4. Woah...Nasty Words!
A redneck tried first to tie Risen to Jayson Blair. Then made the reference that Risen is white. Next asked him if that is "shit coming out of your mouth". Actually Pedro let it go out twice. So much for that delay, Pedro.

Accusing Risen of being a white Jayson Blair.

11. And none of them made any credible points and
illustrated the ignorance and desperation of those on the right who would gladly shred the constitution for the appearance of security. The first 2 in particular made total fools of themselves.

13. We Know They're Fools...There Are Still Sheeple Out There
Remember, these are talking points you're sure to hear on hate radio later on today.

The mantra is fear. It's somehow that the "terrorists" (boogymen) are everywhere and ready to kill and attack and hiding under your bed. We need to be scared and run to big brother government to protect us. We should be happy to give up all civil rights and liberties cause some evil A-rab is about to kill you. "Didn't 9/11 teach you anything?" Sheesh.

If this is the mindset of some people (with whatever mind they have), then Al Queda doesn't need to fly any more planes into buildings...they've won! Orwell must be spinning in his grave.

10. I thought Michelman was taken off the list of witnesses?
She's testifying after all?

12. Different Person...
Cathy is her first name...and I'm the thread is around here with the rest of the info. Also TPM has the details.

I'm surprised there's been two non right wing guests in a row. They'll probably follow Michelman up with some bat from the Eagle forum, but it's good to hear some sane voices on this show for once.

Maybe those FAIR reports are starting to get some notice...
