And she was supposed to be a lawyer

Maybe her record at CNN is the reason I saw very little of her own estimations of the law on Fox. Instead, her guests on crime cases consisted of 99% defense attorneys all saying what she wanted to, and I'll guess perhaps 1% prosecutors. I never actually saw one on her show, so I am guessing. I wrote her about it complaining that "fair and balanced" didn't go a very long way in her address book.

actor, human rights activist, and our brother, Danny Glover.

Last seen siding with that paragon of human rights Fidel Castro. What a bunch of dweebs.

Jimt is right. Here's a snip of what Glover said:

"In Brazil, actor Danny Glover said, "Yes, (Bush) is racist. We all knew that, but the world is only finding it out now."

Source: Frederick Douglass could treat the antiwar celebs suffering Stockholm Syndrome

This apparently is the full quote:

""Yes, he's a racist," the actor told Isto E magazine during a recent visit to Brazil. "We all knew that, but the world is only finding it out now. As Texas' governor, Bush led a penitentiary system that executed more people than all the other U.S. states together. And most of the people who died from [the] death penalty were Afro-Americans or Hispanics."

[Conservative til I die]

LOL, they don't even say what happened. Just that "The right wing has attacked our brutha Danny Glover."

[SwinneySwitch]

If Danny Glover were white, he'd be history at MCI!

[Future Useless Eater]

I think MCI and it's parent company advertises on MSNBC,
certainly on NBC, heck even on FOX, so no talking head can
effectively attack them.

The best Joe can do is call for a POLITE letter campaign
to MCI.

I say go brass-nuckles... Start anti-MCI websites, and
forum threads, complete with lists of low-cost alternatives
to MCI. ( for example PINCITY.COM is 2.9 cents per minute! )

There are TONS of cheaper services than MCI and those should
be pumped up!

Those who have MCI should switch.

THose who have considered MCI should write MCI and tell
them why they can no longer consider them.

I think it's the other way around, yes?

[Marysecretary]

Looks like they can't spell Niger either, hmmm.

[Marysecretary]

He acts like a robot that's been programmed to say nasty and racist things about all of white America. He's scary.

[Marysecretary]

So do I, sigh.

[Kay Soze]

Thanks for posting some of the transcript!

But by pushing equality for Blacks Glover is in his own words: "Glover says America, by pressing Castro to free his country, is “inflicting grave damage to the norms of understanding, debate and mediation among countries.”

[Marysecretary]

You can't have a conversation with a robot. He spews out the same 'hate whitey' crap every time he's on. He spins more than a top.

[talleyman]

Some people just see the world through race-colored glasses.

[Marysecretary]

My theory about this is that believers and unbelievers operate under two different spirits, the spirit of God and the spirit of satan/the world. When an unbeliever comes up against a true man or woman of the faith who speaks about God, etc., their spirit can't stand it and they put up defenses. They become very uncomfortable sometimes even when the believer doesn't say anything. It's all spiritual warfare. We don't fight against flesh and blood but powers and principalities (spirits). Unbelievers are watching the believers, for good or for bad, so we need to walk our talk. That's not easy but it's necessary.

[Marysecretary]

It's a shame that we have to resort to not watching films because he or another anti-American is in them, but I feel it's necessary to prove our point. Glover is a good actor.

Well, do you think maybe it was because the African Americans committed more crimes? Hmmmm.

[sauropod]

I saw this last night. The brotha' tried to hang a double standard charge on Scarborough. Didn't wash.

Though, Joe was much too polite to tell the fool where to get off...

[My2Cents]

Looks like he borrowed the baseball cap from Michael Moore.
