Heads up: Greg Palast on C-SPAN WJ

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

That is all.

[acmejack]

1. This is fun!

Kick this fool's miserable ass, Greg!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

3. Love it, Facts VS opinion and vitriol.

The neocons have problems when they have to argue against facts.

Tyrrell: "You sound like those guys in the 40's..."

[POAS]

28. I WAS getting ready to go out but I cannot leave this!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

31. This has been better than expected. Tyrrell just blathers on with

opinion and inuendo whil Palast has facts.

[POAS]

47. And the right wing callers are worse than Tyrell.

MY God, England is a Socialist Country so their opinions don't count. So much for Tany Nlair.

[leftchick]

2. who is the moran opposite him?

what a jerk.

[Kolesar]

5. R Emmit Tyrell of the American Expectorator

"Spectator"

[adigal]

12. Tyrell looked like he was going to storm off

I still think he might!!

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

13. He is definitely in over his head! Too funny...

[marmar]

4. That Tyrell dude is a real dolt...

Can't they find a Repug with at least three working brain cells? ..... I think I found the answer within the context of my question!

:dunce:

[Kolesar]

6. "is evidence that cutting *marginal* tax rates increases tax revenue"

There may be *evidence*, but that does not meand there is *proof*...

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

7. Or at least someone without the cartoon voice...

Obnoxious with a capital O.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

49. Think "Arkansas Project".

[Suziq]

63. Bingo!

I was so hoping someone would call and ask that asshole Tyrrell about "Troopergate". How quickly people forget.

[Jeanette in FL]

8. Must see TV

I was have expecting Tyrell to walk off right from the get go. Palast has his facts and Tyrell keeps trying to throw the Conspiracy Theorist label on him. Whew. Some good stuff going on.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

9. Tyrrell: "I don't believe in ANY conspiracies."

And monkeys fly.

[adigal]

10. Tyrell is stuck calling him a conspiracy

theorist and saying, "This is nonsense!" when Palast said Americans are losing jobs and health insurance.

Who is this guy?? He should be on TV every night in America!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

14. Now he's going on the "we're at war so everything the Gov't

does is okay" RW meme.

[itzamirakul]

29. I would have loved to answer this jerk by saying...

"WE are the government, Stupid!"

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

11. Thank for the heads up

Palast is looking confident and happy.

[rman]

15. The good old "conspiracies don't exist",

forgetting all about Iran-Contra.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

16. LOL! Now he's insinuating Palast is a commie for working at BBC!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

17. repug caller: Venzuela is importing oil from Russia. WTF?

[rman]

20. and "Venezuela doesn't have the means to extract its oil"?

wtf?

[yankeedem]

22. Glad someone told me

That that 60$ worth of gas I bought at Citgo wasn't really gas, because Venezuela doesn't have the means to extract it.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

26. Sure... Once a country can wear the socialist badge they become

a third world nation.

God, these people are stupid.

[bridgit]

25. we send north slope oil to japan so what's the problem...

:shrug:

[acmejack]

18. The little twerp can't keep his mouth shut & let anyone else talk

Oh no "Socialists", The right is so afraid that an example of socialism might succeed, that is what they fear. Wait until this Country's economy really takes it in the pants, maybe then the geniuses will figure it out, in the classic American way, too damn late.

[Kolesar]

21. This is worse than Crossfire . ..eom.. .

[bridgit]

19. yeah, having to endure this duuph: r. emmett tyrrell...

:freak:

[Zodiak]

23. This is great

Palast is kicking his ass. It is very telling how thin on the facts this jerk from the American Spectator is.

[itzamirakul]

33. "thin on facts"

That was the FIRST thing I noticed with this jerk. Palast had to take the time to explain the Venezuelan oil opportunities to him and all Tyrell could do was go back to the 40s and start asking questions about whether or not FDR was involved in a conspiracy.

I am going to find the American Spectator on Google and send him an email to tell him how ignorant and absurd he appears.

[malaise]

41. This lunatic female caller

is even more fun. The quintessence of backwash!!

[Kindigger]

24. Bad Joe Pesci imitation

OMG this is a keeper :rofl:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

27. Quick, someone call and ask him to say "you laughing at me?"

[librechik]

30. Someone tell Scully to do his job and stop tyrell from interrupting

this is ridiculous.Does he ever do his job?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

32. Finally, we get to it: "9-11 was Clinton's fault!"

"War means giving up civil liberties."

[librechik]

34. Got a "NOT IN SERVICE" message when I tried to call in on the dems line

WTF

[itzamirakul]

36. I have never, ever, ever been able to get through...

For me, the line is eternally busy. You would think they would have a means of putting people on hold in a cue.

[itzamirakul]

39. Blind man takes offense at Palast's analogy that...

"the blind have cups and pennies." Blind caller went on to say he works and buys stock so high oil prices are putting money in his pocket, which in a sense is laughable, since if he is blind, he does not drive so he is not affected by high gas prices.

But all in all, this just shows why there is not more outrage in America...because too many of them are getting rich from the stock market.

[adigal]

35. On September 11th, Americans were attacked

On September 12th, Americans became the suspects.

Great job, Palast!! This guy is awesome.

[Cassandra]

37. Maybe Palast will get the gasbag...

to blow a blood vessel.

[adigal]

38. "I have a comment for the guy with the higher voice"

A caller, who is blind, has stock, and is very glad about oil, because he gets a big check every month.

People can be blind in more than one way. Sad.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

40. And he "wants the rich to get richer so others can invest in the

stock market and become wealthy too."

Riiiight. Try investing on $5.50 an hour. Try paying rent and eating on $5.50 an hour.

[adigal]

43. Lady saying Palast is a "new wing nut job"

She sounds like she is going to cry.

[Cassandra]

51. Tyrell does have a touch of...

Capote in his voice. He's very annoying.

[Kolesar]

59. &he invests the money with others who need capital to create jobs

What does he do, invest in neighborhood coffee shops?

[itzamirakul]

42. Thank God that Palast brought out the truth about the GOP throwing out

the African American vote in 2000 and 2004. Notice how no one touches this topic. They just ignore it and try to act like they didn't hear it or it really didn't happen.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

44. Caller: "Palast is a left wing nut job and the callers from the UK

don't count because they're from a socialist country."

Left wing nut job, left wing nut job...

God, can't these idiots come up with a coherent argument?

[adigal]

45. Ad hominem attacks

because they have no facts. Did you hear how he asked her if the NY Times has killed the 2000 soldiers, and he thought the war was won already: "Mission Accomplished."

She is total backwash.

[KharmaTrain]

46. The Scaiffe Meat Puppet Is On Another Planet

Palast is great! This video better be available later for others to see...he's eating the American Expectorate scumbag alive.

:yourock:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

48. "Hitler-like person like the leader of Iran"

God, what a tool.

[itzamirakul]

55. Palast called him out by saying that the American Spectator is

supported by billionaires. Tyrell tried to come back by calling Palast a Socialist and accusing him of wanting big government control. (Which is exactly what BushCo has brought to DC to take care of his cronies.)

[Cassandra]

57. I was thinking Bush, myself.

Now he's whining again. :eyes:

[Media_Lies_Daily]

50. Great comment about the "democracy" in Saudi Arabia! Ha!! :-)

[Media_Lies_Daily]

52. Tyrrell is totally ignorant. All right wing, all the time.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

53. "I'm calling on the left wing nutjob line so I probably won't be calling

anyone else names."

Tyrrell: You're using a debator's trick. We're at war against people who want to put you in a Burkha."

[malaise]

54. Which DUer was that

Tyrrell is another nut job.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

56. "The goal of a society is to win a war." WTF????

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

58. That was must see TV. If you missed it, catch the rerun this evening.

[POAS]

61. I looked at the schedule but cannot find it...

[POAS]

60. Anyone know if this is going to be replayed???

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

62. I just checked and don't see a replay today. They usually replay

these in the afternoon.

[POAS]

64. That's what I thought but their

schedule is full for the whole day.

[scarletlib]

65. this was a great program segment

Palast was in top form. It is a shame C-Span can never have him on alone but must 'counterbalance' him with a conservative shill. Personally I wonder if pressure isn't being put on the 'span' to toe a conservative line and they feel they must counter the progressive viewpoints with a conservative one at the same time.
