2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Donations for War on Iran, Tim Canova [View all]Tommy_Carcetti
(43,972 posts)72. Tim Canova was on RW hate talker Joyce Kaufman's show today.
The two had a very pleasant conversation and Kaufman wished Tim the best of luck in his race.
A little about Kaufman:

One of the places West liked to talk was Kaufmans radio show on WFTL in Florida, making over 100 appearances over the past four years. Like her new boss, Kaufman is also no stranger to offensive statements:
She said Jewish people voted for President Obama because they dont embrace being Jews anymore.
She said Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan looks basically like Ed Schultz in drag.
Discussing illegal immigrants on her show, she said: If you commit a crime while youre here, we should hang you and send your body back to where you came from, and your family should pay for it.
At a rally with West standing by, she said: Calling illegal immigrants undocumented workers is like calling a drug dealer a pharmacist without a license. There are people who want to change your way of life, and some of them may be your gardeners, she said.
She also blamed undocumented immigrants for pollution and disease: We are destroying the environment in this country at an incredibly accelerated pace because of this group of people who have come to this country and have to live a very substandard existence. They dont have mufflers on their cars. I mean, it sounds like silly nonsense, but its not. The cumulative effect is huge. They live, you know, 10 to a household; they bring disease with them.

CDS is pretty strong among the usual suspects here, and it blinds them to the larger picture.

I do, and he's wrong on that issue, but better than her by a wide margin on most.

I gave Tim $10 but months later after I found out his Iran position I regretted it.

You are only doing this because Tim called for DWS' resignation as DNC chair.

no, the issue is you waging one of your battles against another straw army.

There is nothing in common between HRC's Iraq War vote and Tim's position on Iran.
