October 30, 2007 - MSNBC
DEMOCRATIC DEBATE

[msongs]

1. thus the later question on UFOs which is designed to marginalize kucinich nt

[Hissyspit]

2. Yup. That question never should have been asked.

Disgusting.

[lyonn]

10. He answered it pretty good

Said it was unidentifiable and laughed. That is what you say when you see something you can't identify....

[crickets]

36. You got it. I think that may backfire on them.

I truly hope it does. It was so disgustingly blatant.

[L. Coyote]

38. a response to his comment questioning Bush's mental health, my guess!

[superkia]

41. Exactly what they were trying to do. Sad part is no one else...

spoke up on the impeachment issue, if someone else would have they wouldn't have been able to discredit the only one talking about impeachment, they would have had to go after whoever else spoke up. Doesn't look like there are too many candidates running for president that are presidential enough to stand up and speak for the people, what a shame!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

53. people 'running for office' are for themselves only

[Gregorian]

3. I'm recommending this.

I loved it. How many years have we waited? And it was on tee vee.

[lyonspotter]

4. where was

the applause???

[crickets]

34. You can barely hear the beginning of the applause as the clip ends

It's cut. This was part of the debate I listened to very carefully, and there was noticeable applause after Dennis finished speaking. Fortunately, I had stopped yelling and applauding long enough to catch it at the time. I don't think it was cut on purpose for any other reason than Russert had already started asking the next question. Too bad he stepped on the audience reaction so quickly.

Go, Dennis, go! It felt so cool to blurt out the word "illegal!" at the same time Dennis said it. How refreshing to finally hear someone from Congress actually say these things in a national forum.

:7

Welcome to DU, lyonspotter!

[FREEWILL56]

5. DK expresses my sentiments, so what's up with the rest of congress?

[gateley]

6. My regard for Tim Russert plummeted tonight. I'd always liked and stood up

for him, but this question had no place in a presidential debate. It was insulting and mean-spirited.

It kills me to say something negative about my guy, but I thought that "joke" at the end about Giuliani helping out Dennis with the UFO thing was uncalled for.

God love Dennis!

[LWolf]

23. K & R n/t

[Martin Eden]

42. My regard for Russert plummeted in 2003 when he interviewed Rumsfeld

and Russert didn't ask one question about the Office of Special Plans that was set up in Rummy's Pentagon to stovepipe bogus intel about Iraq.

[proud2BlibKansan]

49. Did you see when Bill Moyers interviewed Russert a few months ago

and he showed him how Cheney on Meet the Press had lied to Russert in the leadup to the war? And Russert just sat there and didn't even blink. Moyers showed him how he had completely failed as a journalist and Russert was just stone faced.

All I could think of was how many of our troops had died in the illegal invasion of Iraq and how all we had needed to prevent those deaths was a journalist like Tim Russert to do his job and challenge Bush and Cheney. But instead he let Cheney sit there in his studio and lie.

I wanted to jump through my TV screen and put my hands around Tim Russert's neck. What a worthless piece of shit he is.

[Martin Eden]

55. I didn't see that, but I would have liked to.

The majority of the ill-informed public has a lot of respect for Russert, what with the nice book he wrote about his father and all.

Too bad he betrays the public by helping to cover up the crimes of the current administration.

[lonestarnot]

51. Timmy won't tell what he saw or heard on or about June of last year, even

if it means a war with Iran. Timmy is a hack.

[goclark]

44. Timmy sure ain't my guy

He has his heart and soul in the Rethug camp.

[emlev]

7. WHAT HE SAID. Go, Dennis!

I loved it that he looked at the other candidates on the stage when talking about what they're not doing!

[slipslidingaway]

8. Thanks, I agree with this comment...

"Great speech, and a good bid for securing the Democratic base that is thoroughly disgusted by the lack of spine being exhibited by the Dem frontrunners. International war criminals continue to run our country, while certain Dems enable their abuses of power to persist."

[bjobotts]

9. Kucinich is the only real change on the stage. He is speaking the truth.

[emlev]

11. All you folks watching--remember to Kick and Recommend!

If you're new to DU,
kick means click "reply" and then type something, so the thread will pop back up to the top of the forum.
"Recommend" means recommend it for the 'greatest' page.
Doing both is the recipe for getting more people to see this.

[rAVES]

12. How could anybody possibly support Hillary with this guy around?

HOW!!!

[JTFrog]

14. Cognitive dissonance.

It's even worse than 2000 and 2004. It's a shame. We have such an opportunity to change the course of this country.

[april]

19. I so much Agree! He speaks the Truth

[lumpy]

52. Indeed. He's the best. Real patriot.

V for Dennis

[Kurovski]

13. K&R. (nt)

[cooolandrew]

15. The truth is love, he genuinely cares about the people. Only 1 candidate I can see.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

16. That's my President

He's the only one who is speaking truth about these matters. The only one acting upon this truth, too.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

17. How many times have we heard about presdidents...

..."channeling" past presidents. Heck didn't chucklehead say something about God speaking to him?

Dennis is the only candidate who is willing to hold BushCo accountable.

[bonito]

18. K&R!

[paparush]

20. Now THAT'S what I'm Talkin About!!!!!

THAT is the tone I want from my Democratic leaders!

Bush is a criminal and should be Impeached. Period. Keep baning that drum Dennis!!!

[focusfan]

21. I agree with him 100%

I wish he could persuade congress to go along with
him.especially the impeachment

[toadzilla]

22. were going to loose our country

hes the only one to say it with the sense of urgency that it needs.

[proud2BlibKansan]

50. We already lost it

We need Kucinich to get it back.

[cosmicdot]

24. knr

[donf]

26. K&R

Big time!

[whistle]

25. Bingo! It is not yet too late for this Democratic majority in Congress

...to get behind Kucinich's impeachment resolution

[Middle finga]

27. What a shame, The after debate commentary by MSNBC only

focused on his UFO comment, they didn't even bring up his impeachment comments. I guess the UFO question was a way for the media to try derail and sidetrack Kucinich for his call for impeachment. The corporate media do have an agenda and it's definitely not a our agenda.

[pauldp]

28. Most important quote of the night and fucking NPR only played the UFO clip.

N.P.R.!!!....we're screwed.

:banghead:

[King of the Wood]

29. I wonder

What would happen if they did put Bush on trial for the war and the other things Kucinich mentions.

[Michael101]

30. NPR has Chosen Queen Hillary

I don't know when this started but the job of the media is to REPORT the news, not to persuade people to elect a certain way. NPR "reported" that all other candidates were attacking Hillary, "democratic candidates were following the leader" this is exactly what they say. I don't know about you, but this is not news. NPR "national public radio" I want to know how publicly funded they are?

[colorado_ufo]

31. DK is one brave sonovagun!

A true patriot!

[BrightKnight]

46. No, he is just politickin' and fund raising

He panders to the base. That is his game and there is nothing really wrong with it. He can not win the general election and it is not just because the media doesn't like him.

[windoe]

32. The only one not playing around.

Our country is in deep doodoo and he is the only one who seems to get it. I think these times call for the most soberminded, straight talking, no games-playing, trustworthy, tolerant forward thinking person, (who also honors the oath to protect the Constitution!)---and he is it. Edwards or Gore can be his vice.
Recommended--

[felipe]

33. Dennis is the only one who believes in the constitution

The other candidates do not even believe that protecting the constitution and the rule of law as important.

[crickets]

35. If they do, they certainly don't show it

And none of them are shouting it out like Dennis. I've always liked him, but over the last year he's impressed me more and more. If Gore doesn't declare, Dennis has my vote.

Welcome to DU, felipe!

[yy4me]

37. Go Dennis, attention Democrats.....Listen to this man. He will

represent us far better than anyone else. The more I hear him, the better he sounds.

[Summer93]

39. Applause, applause, applause, loud applause

Hear it from WE THE PEOPLE - applause for these statements!

[Stardust]

40. Kick for Kooch!

[lame54]

43. Lou Reed says IMPEACH - Listen...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=fCutvXccFlA

[barbtries]

45. i had to give a woo hoo and applaud

he's the one if al won't run

[BrightKnight]

47. Dennis should just impeach Chimpy in the morning.

He keeps going on about it. Talk is cheap. He should just walk in and impeach him in the morning. Morning is the best time to impeach Chimpy. He must have all of the Repug votes that he needs by now.

[NorthCarolina]

48. Only Kucinich

Right Then...Right Now...Right For America

[2 Much Tribulation]

54. Thanks for standing up for the Constitution, Dennis Kucinich. A few don't. nt
