***This is the LIVE THREAD ping list; if you want ON or OFF, please Freepmail me.
CBS's BigBrother 5 has its live eviction tonite.
Good thing it is on at 7 and Kerry at 9 CDT or no one would be watching Kerry. (Probably they won't anyway. His speech is supposed to be about 35 minutes with lulls for applause stretching it to 55 minutes.)
What a service you and others posting the demcon threads provide. A humanitarian service, actually. b
A local radio station....KLIF 570....has an afternoon show hosted by Greg Knap. He has to be at least the #2 conservative talk show host in the D/FW area.
Today he played clips or interviews he did outside of the Dem convention.
There were some serious freaks. Every time he challenged them on their charges....there was a pause...as the stoners tried to figure out what to say.
YOU COULD HEAR FOLKS SINGING HIPPIE PROTEST SONGS IN THE BACK GROUND.
And MANY of them were protesting Kerry as well. (which we won't see on the MSNBC KERRY LOVE FEST.
GILLESPIE on MSNBC!
"We will run on President Bush's record.....the Dems are running from Senator Kerry's record"
Matthews is showing such extreme bias. He is losing credibility by the second.
Ed is letting Chrissy fatboy walk into it.....and then nailing him with more facts.
The more Gillespie goes....the worse the dem bias that is shown by Chrissy Matthews.
Matthews just walked into another trap. He tried to point out that their are (12 - 15) Flag Officer supporting Kerry.
Gillespie pointed out that Bush has MANY MORE supporting him.
I think all of us on this thread will be watching Kerry tonite, standing at the podium, delivering the speech of his political life, and, seeing his pink tie, subconsiously visualizing him wearing his bunny suit.
First one to laugh has to buy the beer.
Biden invoking (President) Kennedy.
Biden: Kerry's not going to ask permission to unleash our mighty weapons.
Wow, the libDems have become the War Party. Deaniacs won't like that.
So, Biden, why has Kerry been whining for a year about Bush not getting France's approval to go to war?????
Has Kerry flipflopped on yet another issue?????
I fear when Kerry comes into the hall and starts toward the podium, I will be thinking:
Here comes Kerry Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity, hoppity, Doofus is on his way.....
Look at all the people that never prayed before.
Wesley Clark is a FRAUD.
Geez, those Democrats are a bunch of war-mongers.
Hee Hee. The talk shows are making jokes about Ms. Kerry wearing that red dress and looking like a bottle of.... You Guessed it! Heinz Ketchup!
meanwhile...waiting out here on the east coast to feel the water dripping slowly drop by drop on my forehead as I sit gagged and bound in a torture chamber.....
Back then, Clark thought he had Slobodan Milosevic figured out, and that the mere threat of NATO bombing — and perhaps a day or two of the real thing — would bring him to the negotiating table and force him to be reasonable. When this turned out not to be the case, Clark had no Plan B, because President Clinton had ruled out ground troops from the outset.
Reality of Clark

"So, NATO continued with a limp air campaign that was inadequate to stopping Milosevic's ethnic-cleansing campaign, that appalled other members of the military brass who thought Clark had helped drag the U.S. into a near-fiasco, and that led to such ill-feeling toward Clark in the Pentagon that he was fired at war's end, launching his career as a TV pundit.""
Was Clark at Waco?
On February 28, 1993 the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms launched its disastrous and lethal raid on the Branch Dividian compound outside Waco, Texas. Even before the raid, members of the US Armed Forces, many of them in civilian dress, were around the compound.
In the wake of the Feb 28 debacle Texas governor Anne Richards asked to consult with knowledgeable military personnel. Her request went to the US Army base at Fort Hood, where the commanding officer of the US Army's III corps referred her to the Cavalry Division of the III Corps, whose commander at the time was Wesley Clark. Subsequent congressional enquiry records that Richards met with Wesley Clark's number two, the assistant division commander, who advised her on military equipment that might be used in a subsequent raid. Clark's man, at Richard's request, also met with the head of the Texas National Guard.
Two senior Army officers subsequently travelled to a crucial April 14 meeting in Washington, D.C. with Attorney General Janet Reno and Justice Department and FBI officials in which the impending April 19 attack on the compound was reviewed. The 186-page "Investigation into the Activities of Federal Law Enforcement Agencies Towards the Branch Davidians", prepared by the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight and lodged in 1996 (CR 104 749) does not name these two officers and at deadline CounterPunch has so far been unable to unearth them. One of these officers had reconnoitered the Branch Davidian compound a day earlier, on April 13. During the Justice Dept. meeting one of the officers told Reno that if the military had been called in to end a barricade situation as part of a military operation in a foreign country, it would focus its efforts on "taking out" the leader of the operation.
Ultimately tanks from Fort Hood were used in the final catastrophic assault on the Branch Davidian compound on April 19. Certainly the Waco onslaught bears characteristics typical of Gen. Wesley Clark: the eagerness to take out the leader (viz., the Clark-ordered bombing of Milosevich's private residence); the utter disregard for the lives of innocent men, women and children; the arrogant miscalculations about the effects of force; disregard for law, whether of the Posse Comitatus Act governing military actions within the United States or, abroad, the purview of the Nuremberg laws on war crimes and attacks on civilians.
FEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
My wife says Joe sounds like Alf.
"Dem o crats have it right."
