Guests tonight (& Thurs) on This Is America
Tomorrow: author and famed American historian, Howard Zinn on his new book: "A Power Governments Cannot Surpress"
Tonight: Presidential candidate Sen Mike Gravel on the war funding bill & Campaign for America’s Future co-director Robert Borosage who roundly criticizes Congress’s proposed Iraq war spending package in an op-ed on Tompaine.com today. He writes “Every legislator open to reason, concerned for the troops, worried about this nation’s real security, or accountable to the voters will vote against this bill.”
He issues this warning to lawmakers: “There are no dodges, no excuses. Vote to sustain the rogue president’s ruinous course or vote against. This is a question of life and death, not of partisan politics or Beltway political poker. Every legislator is free to vote his or her conscience. Each should be held accountable. ”
here's the piece & the link.
Funding Bush’s War: Life and Death, not Texas Hold’em
Robert L. Borosage
http://www.tompaine.com/articles/2007/05/23/funding_bushs_war_this_is_no_game.php
President Bush forced Democrats to “fold,” the press reports. He vetoed the Iraq funding bill that set a deadline for getting U.S. troops out of the war. The Republican minority blocked any effort to overturn the veto. Now Congress is about to vote on a funding bill the president will accept, one that doesn’t offer a path out of the mess. Bush wins, the Republicans exult, the Democrats “flinch.”
But this isn’t poker. This is life and death. The president insists on escalating the catastrophic occupation of Iraq. He scorned the bipartisan Baker-Hamilton Commission that offered a way out. He scorns the American people who voted in 2006 to bring the debacle to an end. He scorned the majority of both houses of Congress that voted to start bringing the troops home on a date certain. He sustains an occupation opposed by a majority of Americans, a majority of Iraqis and a majority of the Congress.
He is aided and abetted in this folly by the Republican minority in Congress, which votes en masse to sustain his vetoes and continue the war. They murmur their concerns, clear their throats, profile their independence, but with rare exceptions, they vote en bloc to support the president’s ruinous course.
He is aided and abetted in this folly by a minority of Democrats who are afraid to take on the president, fearful of being blamed for undermining the troops, and frightened about being held responsible for bringing the occupation to an end. They, in turn, are misled by the political consultants and the national security “experts” on the Democratic side who have been wrong from the start. They advised Democrats to vote for the war to look strong. They advised Democrats to support the president to look tough. When the folly became apparent, they advised Democrats to avoid being blamed for ending the war. At the beginning of the 2006 election, they advised that Democrats focus on the lack of body armor and the mistreatment of veterans, and stay away from the debate about the war. Now they warn Democrats to keep this “Bush’s war” and not get blamed for ending it. Their expert credentials have somehow survived their consistent inanity.
The Congress will now vote on a funding bill for Iraq that offers no change of course. Every legislator open to reason, concerned for the troops, worried about this nation’s real security, or accountable to the voters will vote against this bill.
Those who vote for it are voting to enable a rogue president. They are sacrificing the nation’s security and the lives of many young soldiers to stand with George Bush.
This vote will be registered. In every state and district of the country, voters will know where their legislator stands. There are no dodges, no excuses. Vote to sustain the rogue president’s ruinous course or vote against. This is a question of life and death, not of partisan politics or Beltway political poker. Every legislator is free to vote his or her conscience. Each should be held accountable.
Honored to be your first entry.

"It's been reported that you will support a new global investigation into the events of September 11th, do you care to elaborate on that?"
Gravel responded: "Well, as much I know... I've had several people approach me on that, and I said, I have no problem, because every time we had an investigation of the Kennedy assassination, we learned more, and we've had several of those investigations, and we kept learning more, and learning more. So I don't think that there's any harm, in having additional investigations as to what really happened on 9/11."

Counter-Filibuster running commentary
Collins up at bat. A tree falls in the forrest ...
Collins thinks that partisanship has hardened since the DEMS took control more than ever. HA!
Why the hell do you think they named DeLay the "HAMMER?" For his diplomatic approach to negotiating with his adversaries?
GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
Collins you are well beyond superfluous, you are the sound of one hand clapping.
Best yet, THUNE of So. Dakota.
They are EVIL we are GOOD.
They are natural born killers that the DEMS don't understand.
Gee whiz Spanky. Ya think if we gave you some CLOCKWORK ORANGE treatment you could be ENLIGHTENED JESUS CAMP STYLE?
Jumping Jahosephats. Why have any prison term guidelines at all?
Criminals are EVIL. EXECUTE THEM ALL!!! It's cheaper than keeping them locked up for life which is what they deserve for pedaling the CRACK that the CIA-IRAN-CONTRA dumped in the SOUTH BRONX etc.
What a piece of "WORK" they definitely don't rate the luxury of the ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
Remember, kill an innocent relative of the ISLAMIC BROTHERHOOD and it will be generations until you can stop looking over your shoulder. You created this "ENEMY" fool. They have YOUR address. Not that of those trying to STOP THE INSANITY that is driven by imperial hubris and PURE GREED!!!
They outnumber us by a factor of 3 and don't suffer from the historical AMNESIA that your home schooled brats suffer from and RIGHTWINGNUT school boards preach with "INTELLIGENT DESIGN" CREATIONISM .ABSTINENCE ONLY CLIMATE CHANGE HOAX JUNK SCIENCE.
BONEHEADED HATEMONGERS are that way out of fear of having to compete on a LEVEL PLAYING FIELD. They know that they cant win without cheating.
If only I could pity them, then I would feel empathy when they are sentenced to their own minimum guidelines for PERJURY and FELONY VIOLATIONS of both the US CONSTITUTION and INTERNATIONAL TREATIES.
You will reap what you've sewn. The bitch is that the financial debt and the guilt for not intervening sooner will be our shared burden.
BLOODY HELL!!!!!!
Cantwell concedes that she ignored Palast's EXXON IRAQ Cheney mapping scoop, but still has confidence that the DEMOCRATIZATION via BENCHMARKS can still work. This is a (D-WA). What the fargenbastage .. who gave her the mike, Reid?
REALLY? I thought they wanted to get something done. Why put quasi blue dogs up against HARD CORE CHICKENHAWKS? They even smell alike. Channel # CHEVRON like Condi. What are they thinking?
THIS IS GOING NOWHERE ON PURPOSE!!!!!!!
BOLLUX WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!
Then comes the Snowe GOP from Maine, touted to be the first domino to fall in line with pragmatic realism as a foundation for her support of a REDEPLOYMENT TIMELINE. She opens her mouth and WRONG!!!!!!!
1st she blames the occupied country's government for failing to achieve US bechmark objectives for OIL PRIVATIZATION. Then she says its time to consider taking a look at the possibility of evaluating an alterative strategy.
Simply marvelous.
If impeachment investigations don't commence immediately the POTUS in '09 will not be able to avoid the bulk of the responsibility, for both the delay on the pull back and the reconstruction / resettlement. The redployment debate will then be further extended into the 2010 congressional elections and even into 2012 when the DEMS WILL BE TOAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a result no progressive legislation will possible until 2020, maybe. But that's what the DLC wants.
STATUS QUO MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!
McCain is issuing tee shirts to Al Qaeda so the DEM plan will work since it requires that targeted missions be limited to attacks on them. Enemey combatent type 1, not type 2, 3,4 or 5. With his free tee shirts there will be no confusion since the fuchsia emblazoned outfits will be made by a factory owned by Bill Gates in Singapore.
Uvula!!!
Buey he really gets his groove on at 3 in the morning. WOW, he's a whole barrel of monkeys in one SCHIZOID POW GERIATRIC FRAME. This is like an Olympic Sport, so they should definitely do PISS-TESTS. Ya think?
Not that we care that they're popping uppers, we just want to know what kind and the dosage. That way when they have a stroke or start fibrillating, the EMT knows how much adrenalin to use when he goes into full arrest like in PULP FICTION, but on the floor of the US SENATE. VISUALIZE THIS!!!
Ok, Stabenow wants to keep digging, so we can dig our way our of Iraq.
I'm not making this stuff up. KEEP DIGGING IS THE ANSWER for D-Michigan'aries.
You're gonna love this: "WAR KNOWS NO POLITICAL PARTY"
Oh boy. I think I'm going to cry. HA!
CORNYN the occupation of Iraq is NOT optional. The armchair generals in DC have nothing invested so their advice should be disregarded. Since Saddam defied UN resolutions and the congress voted to invade this is a bipartisan occupation. Levin must be defeated because it's an arbitrary time table. Patreus, Patreus, Patreus, Patreus, Patreus, Patreus, Patreus, Patreus, Patreus, ...
McCain's back for his "exhibition staged for the press poll tested message points amateur theatrics tomorrow the press will move on" ... "GENOCIDE IN IRAQ" ... "Patreus has changed course but face it nothing is going to change as a result of our staying up all night."
Well McCain that would explain your false dichotomies and inverted logic, go take a nap PLEASE!
McConnell "Welcome to the Twilight Zone, Hollywood style"
Who's keeping score on how far over the line of fantasy island supernatural delusions to perpetuate profiteering without oversight the CHICKENHAWKS have gone and how vacuously the DOVES have straddled the fence on patriotic GIVE WAR A CHANCE but make it look like DEMS are in charge of DEMOCRATIZATION mission that will succeed EVENTUALLY? From my catbird seat it look fairly close with the wingnut award going to THUNE.
But here comes Durbin with stories about flag draped coffins and gimps. What's unique here is that unlike the warmonger's stories, Durbin actually gave the FIRST and LAST name of the subject of his tear jerking saga.
Look out, heeeeerre's Obama. We are all patriots, we want to define the mission not the military strategy.
Biden's about to unload on the buggers...... ROCK & ROLL!!! ( well soon, it was a tease )
LEVIN himself, "Maliki can stop the conflict. The Iraq leaders must keep their commitments, take responsibility, timetable, forces them to act"
Does he really think that we're buying that the puppets approved by the US to implement EXXON's stock projection strategy can get Bush to tell Patreus to stop getting into firefights with Iraqi police and hand Abu Grahib over to the Iraqi army that continues to disintegrate?
Reid: "Thank you little people in the back offices. The congressional staff are the true heros"
THE HORROR!!! This is the best the DEMS can do playing by their rules. Sorry you loose.
TIME TO BRING OUT THE MASH UNIT and SURGICALLY remove the CHICKENHAWKS in charge via IMPEACHMENT!!!! There is no other way, PERIOD!!!!
How an insider consultant changed my mind on impeachment
• Consultants and Democratic operatives still act like it's 2002, and believe that the Republicans and Bush are all-powerful
• Their cautiousness and pessimism and inability to think in any creative way is a cancer upon the Democratic Party
• Anything a consultant of this type advises - literally anything - should be met with a vow to perform the exact opposite action.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/7/17/141844/051
Chuck Schumer started talking. Talking well, talking about the real issues, talking about how the occupation is over but Bush will never admit it.
I don't retract my previously harsh words about Schumer, his stewardship of the DSCC did not endear him to me. But he is redeeming himself with me tonight, and I'll regard him more charitably up until he pisses my goodwill away on a giveaway to Wall Street.
If you have cable or a dish, turn the debate on. It'll be on all night and there's nothing better on the tube. Got kids? Make them watch. Tell 'em Wege said so.
...
They're mustering a quorum and I'm getting a kick out of watching Lieberman. No one looks at him so he works his way over to the Republicans knowing one of them will have to talk to him but then he wanders back to his side of the chamber and not a friendly face in sight so he sneaks up on Feinstein and draws her into conversation. The body language isn't warm.

Ohio Republican Senator George Voinovich, tells CNN that he “warned� Karl Rove, Bush’s brain, last week that, “The president is a young man and should think about his legacy. He should know history will not be kind unless he can come up with a plan that protects the troops and stabilizes the region.� A large number of Republicans, Voinovich reported, are prepared to break with Bush over the conduct of Iraq War, and to do so now. CNN reports that in private discussions, Voinovich is not so diplomatic, using expletives to describe the Bush Administration’s management of the war effort.

"the power of simple twists of language to work murderous evil"
- Scott Horton paraphrasing Victor Klemperer as carefully recorded in his book, Lingua tertii imperii (The Language of the Third Reich, 1947) http://harpers.org/archive/2007/07/hbc-90000542

"Even the best of the print media—publications like the New York Times and Washington Post–show the corrosive effects of corrupted language."
"Orwell would crack an anxious smile. He would say: so you see, it’s well underway."
A Reuters article out this evening that is positively comic in its twists and turns to avoid using the word “filibuster.� Why exactly? Because, I am told, the “Republican leadership would be upset if we used that word.� Ahha, now we understand how news copy is written. That’s the “liberal media� for you.

Never in the 229 years of United States history has this government “of, by and for the people� been in greater peril. Not during the Civil War, not during the great depression, and not during the Second World War or the Cold War which followed.
Until today, gross incompetence, abuse of power, corruption, corporatocracy, and federal insolvency could be checked and reversed by balanced and separated governmental powers, and at the ballot box by a citizenry informed and provoked by an alert and independent media. Now all branches of government and the mainstream media are dominated by the wealthy elites in control of a single political party.
Can you believe this? If not, you are in the company of a majority of Americans who might respond to the above jeremiad with “Oh c’mon now, it can’t be as bad as all that! We’ve always had incompetence, corruption, waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, and stolen elections are as old as the republic. It’s no different now.�
So long as that majority of Americans believes this, the rule of the Busheviks and its successor oligarch regimes will be secure. Thus Bush, Inc. and its obedient mainstream media are desperately endeavoring to nourish and sustain this “illusion of normality.�
The illusion has many facets. ...

Q:
When does the U.S. Department of Justice, once one of the most highly
respected law enforcement organizations in the world, behave like an
organized crime family?
A:
When it’s under the control of a man named “Fredo.�
The Department of Justice continues its flat-out efforts at
obstruction of Congressional oversight and investigation.
And the latest act in this comic opera:
It orders the head of the voting rights section, John Tanner, not to

investigating wrongdoing in his section. ...

Sitting Republican Congressmen, military strategists, CIA and Pentagon insiders and prominent religious leaders help to answer the question: a decade from now, will the American invasion of Iraq be seen as a stabilizing force in the world, the mistake of a benevolent hegemon or the opening salvo of a clash of civilizations - the beginning of WWIV?

1) Not that there's anything sinister with happening to agree with one party's values more, but do you think that your National Affairs coverage is perhaps a little bit too partisan?
2) What is your favorite YouTube campaign stunt? What is your least?
3) Will the blog or online media make print effectively irrelevant for political updates?
4) If you could ask George W. Bush one question and be actually guaranteed an honest answer, what would you ask him?
- Tyler Bass
1) Re partisanship: if you think my coverage of the Bush administration is unkind, wait until Hillary Clinton becomes president.
2) I don't watch You Tube much, but I do watch X Tube regularly. I keep hoping to catch someone like Lindsey Graham on there.
3) I don't think blogs will replace print media completely. As long as men keep shitting on Sunday mornings, the print newspaper will thrive.
4) As for Bush, the question I always wanted to ask him was if he thought Muslims automatically went to hell after death. I think that would be an interesting question because there's no way for him to answer it without pissing off one or the other group of lunatics.

Mr. Elliot, I happened to glimpse you signing autographs this summer at the 'Take Back America Conference', and I had been listening off and on to your show since 2006.
I hate public speaking, and I REALLY admire your skills. However, it has taken me some time to write my feelings.
This week five Americans were killed in Iraq. Five fine American families are grieving, and I am personally so very sorry, and proud of their service like they were my neighbors.
How SHAMEFUL that FOX news evaded the real casualty statistics, for some short-term, low-risk strategy of announcement!!
I know the 'buck stops' with you, Jon, and I am more and more thankful for you and for what
Air America is, and is becoming. Do you envision a liberal media, in the future?
