This is a live blog event that happened 8/16/08
LIVE from Seattle Center: "We the People" all star panel kicks off AM 1090's annual town hall forum has just kicked off here at Seattle Center's Exhibition Hall, where a packed house of progressive activists have gathered to listen to a panel of nationally syndicated talk show hosts talk about the 2008 presidential campaign and American politics.
Five of us from NPI are here, liveblogging and taking pictures.
The panel includes Mike Malloy, Randi Rhodes, Sam Seder, Rachel Maddow, Thom Hartmann, and Stephanie Miller, with Ron Reagan moderating.
Each host was introduced individually by AM 1090's Lee Callahan to deafening applause (the cheering and clapping really echoes around in this auditorium!).
The leadoff topic for discussion is Barack Obama's recent positioning on offshore drilling and energy. "It's a scam issue," declared Mike Malloy, referring to the Republicans' more drilling good posturing. The hosts are all pretty much in agreement: Obama should stake out a clear, unequivocal position against wasting money digging up more fossil fuels and favoring investment in renewable energy.
"The point is, you say no more giveaways to Big Oil," Sam Seder added. "You turn it around and put them on the defensive."
----------
There are other updates that generally frame democratic talking points and the stances and actions they would like Obama to take.

Ron Reagan. snort! Like he knows anything, or even has a brain in his head.
I can’t believe he’s the son of such a man as his father. Could they have switched him at birth ??
I found out about it from a friend’s twitter when she was at the event. Of course their entire gathering gave them the impression that they alone hold sway in the issues.
Randi Rhodes

That last picture with Cindy Sheehan . . . I think I saw that on Randy’s Adult Friend Finder profile.

Lets face it folks. If these idiots actually succeed in taking control of this country, we’re finished as a cohesive nation. Civil war will shortly have to ensue. I for one will not live under the thumb of Marxist tyrants.
Mike Malloy? Is that pompous ass still around? He was booted from WLS in Chicago a few years ago. Even libs in the Windy City thought he was off the wall. His hatred of conservatives was clearly evident. Whenever Mike Malloy speaks, something is subtracted from the sum total of human knowledge.
“Lets face it folks. If these idiots actually succeed in taking control of this country, we’re finished as a cohesive nation. Civil war will shortly have to ensue. I for one will not live under the thumb of Marxist tyrants.”
My sentiments exactly.
TRANY?
***Ron Reagan. snort! Like he knows anything, or even has a brain in his head.***
Isn’t he the one who joined a ballet group so he could dance around on his toes in in tights? Sounds like a real “pixie” to me.
