Norm Solomon on WJ-CSPAN is excellent!

[babylonsister]

He's slapping down this warmongering admin and the supposed journalists who pushed for war.

[leftchick]

1. thank you

I can hear the freepers franticly dialing now!

[0007]

10. Especially that Florida caller with his high octave excited voice.

He's a right wing nut that calls about once a week and receives his warning once a week about calling more than once within a 30 day period.

Here comes a right wing call now for Norman Salomon

[Viva_La_Revolution]

2. damn them librals what use big words!

lol!

He's doing a fine job!

[CottonBear]

3. Amazing! He's plain spoken and articulate. He's telling the truth

about Miers (*'s fixer, TANG AWOL, DUI), the * administration "perpetual war" (Rummy's post 9-11 NYT column about perpetual war), 1984 comparisons and the military-industrial complex not to mention DiFi's vote to go to war and the subsequent surge in her husband's war related stocks.

:kick:

[cry baby]

6. Ouch

It hurts so good!

[DemonFighterLives]

4. I was breathing easier too with smart words coming out this morning

Wars based on distortion and lies. Yes.

[leftchick]

5. what is with the host

two puke calls for every democratic call? Wait, I have not heard one Dem yet.

:grr:

[CottonBear]

11. Host isn't even pretending to "lose" calls from Dems. Bad Peter, bad.

The guest calmly responds to the callers and directs them to check out the FACTS. Now he's speaking about death squads in El Salvador killing journalists and leaving notes in their mouths.

"He just said: We (USA) are a part of the cycle of violence. We are not separate from it."

WOW! ANOTHER freeper caller (from Atlanta) saying Vietnam & Iraq not alike. NS responds: There is no evidence that Iraq is a threat...it is a rhetorical construct...we knew claims about WMD were bogus."

[leftchick]

14. 5 in a row now

did he announce he was only taking bush supporters? This is the WORST!

Though you are right, he is killing them with facts!

[KharmaTrain]

13. Typical Peter

The resident wingnut host. He's always letting the most rabid wingnuts (especially Clinton haters) ramble on while he cuts of Democrats.

Earlier when he had "Conservatives only" (:puke:) about the Miers nomination...one person called and said he was a Repugnican but had become an Independent because of this regime...he was asked who he voted for and said "Kerry"...he was cut off. Is voting for Kerry automatically make you a "non-Conservative"...according to a Bush-enabler it is.

Solomon is doing very, very well. Problem is, he makes sense...and the flying monkey right is so off the edge reality seems like some whacko conspiracy now.

[Skidmore]

7. Slapped Feinstien too and the other Dems who spoke against

the war but still voted for it. Called them out for taking money from corporations and being beholden to them in their votes.

[CottonBear]

8. Caller said "media responsible for (bad) polls & * completed all TANG svc.

"Just because you happen to be an intellectual doesn't mean you're smarter than all the people out here."
:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:
:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:
:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

[leftchick]

9. 4 repuke callers in a row???

Is this all repuke day?

[CottonBear]

15. Another repuke from Ohio said saying * lied is a strong statement

& NS said "Yes it is."

Damn. He just slaps them down with the facts but they are such fucking ditto heads that they are unable to research, find or comprehend the FACTS.

[CottonBear]

18. Finally. A woman Dem. caller from TX. She siad "I thought you were only

taking Repub. calls today." Thank you caller.

Now NS is asking how we will view the likes of Biden and DiFi int he light of history.

[leftchick]

19. God he is great!

equal opportunity warmonger basher!

:)

[babylonsister]

12. Yep, it's all Clinton's fault. I was waiting to hear that. nt

[DemonFighterLives]

24. Oh yeah first off it was Clintons fault, but we also found WMD's

and the Iraqis were about to attack us. :sarcasm:
Sure were missing a few voices from the left.
And now we have to listen to this stupid judicial comfirmation goofball.

[babylonsister]

26. Nah, I've had it with hearing about Harriet. Time to turn!

I'm waiting for Jon Stewart myself.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

16. damn it, these freepers still believe that

Saddam didn't let the inspectors in. thank you msm :mad:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

17. thank you caller!

"I thought you were just taking calls from republicans!"

[babylonsister]

20. Another Dem, Finally! But cut off quick. WJ disappoints again. nt

[prolesunited]

27. It's Peter

He always pulls that kind of crap. I like the woman best (her name escapes me). She always seems very fair in is always referring to print sources.

[ProfessorGAC]

38. Both Women, Proles

Susan and Connie are both scrupulously non-partisan. On the Y chrom-side of things, Rob and Pedro are both solid. I met Pete Slen, and he's a nice enough guy, and i have seen him hammer Repukes when they go off-topic or spread silly non-truths. I think we're just a little more sensitive to it when it happens to someone who espouses the liberal viewpoint.
The Professor

[prolesunited]

40. I like non-partisan, non-biased news

I like to examine all sides and decide for myself, not blindly toe the party like.

BTW, is your wife feeling better I hope?

[ProfessorGAC]

42. Last Couple Of Days, Yes

Thanks for asking. Not feeling the nausea as much and is weaning off the anti-nausea drug. Still never hungry. But, they are now exploring the possibility of a pernicious viral infection. I guess we'll wait and see.
The Professor

[mod mom]

21. What's up with all the repuke callers? Mr Solomon sure did a great job

answering them. He rocked!

[babylonsister]

22. He did! Christmas is coming, may have to get his book, entitled

"War Made Easy...."

[mod mom]

23. "this administration has contempt for reality-based politics" Scandinavia

Has just as much freedom, agruably more than the US and you don't see terrorist going after them, it's our policies not our freedoms.

Telling it like it is!

[leftchick]

25. time to turn

wendy long used to "clerk" and god knows what else for SCJ Thomas. Coke anyone?

:puke:

29. After hearing Solomon, I wrote the link down. I

had been unaware, but will now be checking this site out!

[DemonFighterLives]

30. They got my attention at first when Peter mentioned Common Dreams

Does Solomon also have that site? A blog was also mentioned, but I didn't catch the addy.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

31. link to his blog...

http://traprockpeace.org/norman_solomon/

website - http://www.normansolomon.com/

enjoy!

[mod mom]

32. thanks for the info. Just sent him a Thank You email. We need to hear a

lot more from Mr. Solomon!

[DemonFighterLives]

34. Thank you!

He must be a contributor to Common Dreams
http://www.commondreams.org/

Here is one article:
http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0929-20.htm
Torture and the "Controversial" Arc of Injustice
by Norman Solomon

[mod mom]

35. I read that on his blog and was surprised that he failed to mention John

Conyers or other members of the CBC when asked which current politician he respected. Made that suggestion in my "thanks" email to him. Perhaps that essay should be posted for all DUers to read.

[DemonFighterLives]

37. I was so eager to find the Common Dreams link that I didn't notice

that the article was on the link provided by Viva- sorry Viva.
clip...

Torture. Controversial. In 2005 -- not 1505, 1705 or 1905 -- in the 21st century, in a country that claims to be at the world's vanguard of democracy and human rights
Another link to his book
http://www.warmadeeasy.com/

[mod mom]

39. I am planning to buy his book today!

[zanne]

33. I'm so glad he's being noticed.

I've been reading his articles and watching his interviews for years. He hits it right on the head every time, with no apologies. He needs more attention than he's been getting.

[CottonBear]

36. I've bookmarked those Solomon links. I really like him.

Have you noticed that Peter is taking mostly (practically all) Republican callers then mentioned that he'd be taking open calls. But first, he read a notice that CSPAN published in the Wash. Times about CSPAN's 25th year call-in show this week. INVITATION to all freepers: please clog the lines, esp. the Dm. lines. Geez.

:(

[TNOE]

43. I bookmarked sites also

so glad to see this thread on him - I could barely get away from the TV this morning. He was spectacular!! I hope they have him on again. I love hearing freeper heads explode in the morning.

[Armstead]

41. Agreed....He's been out front for a long time

Nobody -- but nobody -- has a better grasp of the interaction between the media and the political/corporate establishment.
