[crissy71]

Anyone hear the discussion? That was a pretty weird moment - Al didn't want to even go there - the wimp

1. Don't complain, email him some hard evidence.

2. how is the show?

I was wondering how the show is. I tried listening to it at work but my PC wont allow it to come in and I haven't had time to at home.

4. not bad

sometimes it's funny, sometimes boring

he basically positions himself as a moderate and doesn't go for the jugular

[donviti]

7. Clear Channel

Isn't the show syndicated by Clear Channel. The same people that kicked Stern off in Florida. Maybe he isn't allowed to be edgy.

8. I agree.

I understand not wanting to jump on the LIHOP bandwagon. Although many of us believe it MANY Americans don't.

17. You know what?

I don't even expect him to 'jump on the bandwagon'... I'd just like him to give the evidence a fair hearing. Is that so much to ask?

Someone said to send him evidence... he's a Harvard graduate with no day-to-day work to occupy himself with... and he's had two and a half years to read about the worst attack on our nation's soil, and we're supposed to believe he just somehow missed all the reports of the short selling? Pfft.

19. I agree. The stock trading was definitely something that should

have set off flashing red lights since somebody set out to make a ton of money and then didn't pick it up. Supposedly the FBI investigates and then suddenly goes, "Nothing happened here, pay it no mind, No we won't release the names involved." What's THAT all about?


Why is it conspiracy theory to want the answers to perfectly legitimate questions?

[redqueen]

21. Because they're questions TPTB don't want asked

:(

14. Just because he doesn't believe in LIHOP doesn't make him a DINO!!!

[leesa]

20. Odd thing to say. We don't want people to simply close their eyes and ear

though do we?? Stock options which indicate someone knew what was about to happen aren't worth questioning? Remember, the FBI said they investigated it and then refused to say a word about the outcome. Why?

10. Hi donviti!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[donviti]

11. thanks

I appreciate it. I read about this place somewhere and love the Bush bashing. It is so nice to see people that get it.

3. If Michael Kinsley is the most brilliant liberal...

then we're in trouble. He was a total bore.

[Jane Austin]

12. Hi, RoundRockD

Are you from Round Rock , Texas?

And the only Democrat in Williamson County? :)

[devinsgram]

16. Totally agree

I've learned more on DU then he totally knows. Very disappointed when he says he as some pity for this shitbag administration.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

5. Randi Rhodes, Janeane Garafolo, and Ed Schultz are our best....

hope at having an impact. Franken needs to STOP being so
"Alan Colmes Like"!

:eyes:

:(

6. Discussing here

9. With all due respect, soleft, that thread is a different topic.

That one is LIHOP (Bush admin and/or other US Govt officials knew of the impending attack)

vs.

This one is about the purchase of put options on airline stock (someone, somewhere knew of the impending attacks... maybe UBL himself or his agents making the trades)

[soleft]

13. It was related

Franken made his comment about conspiracy theories in context of discussing the put options. I thought the people in this thread would be interested in seeing related comments in the other thread. Had it been the same topic it probably would have been locked.

[BlueEyedSon]

18. OK thx

[devinsgram]

15. If he wants info

Randi was just talking about it. Doesn't he listen to anyone else but himself.
