OK - Randi Rhodes is up @ 3p to 7p...Discussion Thread #1

[xultar]

I'd like to challenge all DUers Whether you like Randi or not, to PUHLEEZ listen to her show just this one time...for Condi Analysis...

Let's begin the Randi Rhodes Condi Testimony Analysis Discussion here
Don't concentrate on Randi, concentrate on her analysis and the callers...

[rocktivity]

1. Did you catch that news report about the hit and run priest?

He got probation and community service, and asked that travel time and from the his community service be credited to the hours he has to serve. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! Doesn't he realize that if he were a mere sinner like the rest of us, he'd be IN JAIL right now!

2. O'Neill (the guy who died at WTC) was neutered!!! great!!! love her.n/t

[BattyDem]

5. Yes! Somebody is finally talking about O'Neill

[redqueen]

42. OK I officially love Randi now

At least SOMEONE on that station has some backbone!

Thank you Randi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[codegreen]

3. take a bow & go to jail

[OKNancy]

4. "Condi lied"

"Stand up and take a bow, now go to jail"
Ripping Condi to shreads.

[LittleApple81]

6. She has all her ducks in a row!!!! Do you know how many people

are listening to AA today? Could all of us take excerpts of the shows and ask questions about coverage to the whoremedia?

[doni_georgia]

40. I'm listening

I'm getting to listen today since I'm on vacation. First time I've listened to Randi (I live in Atlanta and Air America isn't on here, I have to listen online). She's kickin' ass, though! Wish we had AA on a station here, but Clear Channel owns everything here, and all we have are your usual conservative shits - Limbaugh, Boortz, Hannity, ad nauseum.

[LittleApple81]

7. kick n/t

[supernova]

8. 2 milion streaming

on the internet is what I read today. I forget where though... sigh. Maybe I'll find it again.

[tridim]

13. And that doesn't include

Affiliate streams (which I use) and obviously doesn't include Arbitron numbers and satellite listeners.

There are probably 10's of millions listening in total. AA is a fucking bullhorn and it's only going to keep growing. I maintain my prediction that we'll have Air America II by the end of the year.

[rocktivity]

29. And don't forget the GLOBAL audience

Someone called Randi from ENGLAND yesterday! Do you realize that ANYONE IN THE WORLD with Internet access can listen in???

:headbang:

[Fleshdancer]

9. I love this woman

now they're plaing the part of the commission hearing this morning where Condi has to answer why the administration didn't think the attack against USS Cole was an act of war.

Did they do something to Condi's voice?? She sounds different on this recording...like she sucked helium.

[supernova]

11. Altered her voice

Lord, she sounded strained enough as it is. Now, she sounds like a little girl.

[codegreen]

14. the commissioners sound different too... probably bad recording

[apnu]

10. Randi kicks ass

Keep it up Randi!

:toast:

[Ivote]

12. Go Randi

:bounce:

[BattyDem]

15. Now defending Clinton's record against terrorism!

And slamming Condi at the same time ... Randi rules!

[Fleshdancer]

16. Randi just brought up a good point I didn't think about....

Condi said she didn't know what the admin would have done if the USS Cole attack had occured after Bush took office. But this woman is the National Security Advisor, why wouldn't she have had an idea of what the contigency plan would be if it did happen? Isn't that her job?

[FlaGranny]

17. This, folks, is why Randi rocks - big time.

You want our word to get out about the criminals in the white house? Randi is the ONLY one who comes right out and calls it like it is.


Edit: Well, sorry, not the only one, but the only one who now has a national audience.

[bkcc]

18. I'm glad Randi is on our side.

That having been said, I like other shows on Air America much better.

I agree with most of what Randi says, but I'm not a fan of her style. I think that she isn't big on listening to callers or guests. She would much rather shout someone down than listen to their opinion...even if they're agreeing with her.

I like Randi, but I can only take her show in small doses.

[FlaGranny]

19. Your loss, you will miss much information that

the other ones just won't talk about. :-)

[bkcc]

22. I won't miss any info.

I'm sure I'll be able to keep up with her via everyone's posts.

;)

[caledesi]

38. Randi is so smart and only gives the facts. I love her!

[xultar]

20. Everyone wanted Al to do Analysis, honestly he didn't have enough time

to do full analysis, remember, he isn't a journalist nor a raidio host.

Randi is doing full time analysis.

Where's all the people?? Posts??

[never cry wolf]

48. Al didn't even know about the put options

On American and United on 9/10. He had to have his google monkeys look it up for him and even then didn't really "get" it.

Randi is the most informed, in tune host on the air anywhere. Malloy came close but Randi ROCKS!

I do wish she would let callers get their say out a bit more and I also wish they would let some wingers get thru to her cuz she eats em up.

All in all, I love Randi's show, and all of them. Hey folks, it's not a competition between the shows. They are ALL on our side, just different ways to deliver the message.

[NJCher]

21. that's exciting news tridem and supernova!

Wow, it thrills me to no end to think that many people are listening!

[ewagner]

23. Faithful listener of Randi's

Sometimes her style grates on my nerves but all-in-all she gets it right almost everytime.

Love Randi :loveya:

[BattyDem]

24. "The guessing game is over!"

"THEY KNEW!"

Go Randi! :toast:

[maveric]

25. "they should put a shot clock up there".

To keep Condi from stalling. The 24 second clock.

[eleny]

26. Randi: "They knew" was proven today

She's on fire today!

[hiphopnation]

27. Randi calling for Condi to go to prison

and listening to callers.

Any DUers still care to complain about her brash style?

I sure hope not...

GO RANDI!! :thumbsup:

[BattyDem]

28. Caller just called Bush*

a "lazy sack of crap"

[suegeo]

30. Another thing that scares me about Dr. Rice

Does it bother anybody else that this nitwit, Dr. Rice, is now a leading player in making structural changes to our government (the one that Thomas Jefferson, B. Franklin, et. al. put together.)?

This lady--and the crew she rode in with--can't find her ass with both hands. That much seems certain to me. So now, the idiot Dr Rice is heading up an effort to re-structure things?

Rice is a proven, total screw up. And now we give her something even bigger to eff up?

God help us.

[eleny]

31. Oy! I just had to take a Pepcid.

[BattyDem]

32. "All roads lead back to Saudi money"

Also talking about the put options


On edit: She's talking about PNAC! :bounce:

[eleny]

33. Okay, she said it - LIHOP

She just said how the administration knew they needed another Pearl Harbor in order to go to Iraq. Nibbled at the edges of it all afternoon. But now, she said it.

[BattyDem]

34. I can't believe someone finally said it on air!

[Lefty_the_Right]

35. Randi has been saying that and more

For at least the 3 years that I've been listening to her.

But those of us that have been listening couldn't get the rest of you to give her a chance.

I'm just glad you are now.

[eleny]

39. Amen! I love her!

I've only been listening since last summer at WJNO. But it only took one minute of that first time that sold me on her.

[neverborn]

36. OMG

X_X

[neoteric lefty]

44. its beginning to smell

in the house of Bush.

[proud patriot]

37. Woo hoo ..Randi is Rockin today ...

All over the testimony today

[rocktivity]

41. I guess you could say that I started out as a LIH-er

I never doubted that they Let It Happen, through either arrogance and/or incompetence. But LIHOP? Consider the implications!!! I realize now that I didn't WANT to believe it--and didn't have to until I learned about the PNAC Pearl Harbor remark. And heard Clarke's testimony. And still HAVEN'T heard more about the airline options. I haven't been able to believe anything coming out of the Bush White House for the painfully simple reason that it doesn't make sense. As ugly as the prospect of LIHOP is, that's no reason to make an exception.

:headbang:
rocknation

[Thrill]

43. LIHOP?

What does it stand for?

[Bunny]

47. Let It Happen On Purpose

[GumboYaYa]

45. WOW!!!! I'm listening to Randi for the first time today.

SHE IS AWESOME. This is the liberal voice I have wanted to hear for years. She is tough and smart. The facts roll off her tongue with ease. I can feel her anger and I agree with it.

[LittleApple81]

46. What about the tit for tat with OPEC and Saudi Arabia for the

oil prices? She even mentioned Kissinger (ugh! what a disgusting non-human) being involved in this type of deal.

[never cry wolf]

49. Randi back on LIHOP now.......n/t

[xultar]

50. So, how did Randi do today? n/t
