I can't believe they"lost " the Women's Rally feed

[LosinIt]

must have sent Ashcroft out there with some hedge clippers to cut the cord. This is unbelievable.

[Christ was Socialist]

1. Yes they "lost" it in an orwellian sense of course<nt>

[havocmom]

2. who lost it? CSPAN or one of the neo-networks? (n/t)

[hedda_foil]

3. CSPAN.

And it may have been just in time to "miss" Howard Dean's speech. They have coverage on KPFA but they're doing an interview now, so I don't know if he's spoken.

6. Thanks, yep that is mighty convenient.

Sure seems like there are powerful forces that do not want the good doctor's message to get out. Interesting. From talking to folks where I live, I get the impression if the contest were gonna be between Dean and Bush come November, Bush wouldn't get 10% of the county that gave him 80% in the last outing.

Somebody is very afraid of some message.

7. It seems that everyone and their mother took your advice.

Connection is choppy at best, even with a cable modem.

[tridim]

4. Americans will NOT see freedom in action

Strait from the desk of the evil-doers in the White House. Cut the cable NOW DAMNIT!

Gawd I hate these people. Imagine the cables that will be cut at the Republican convention. Thankfully there will be lots of indie cameras there.

5. I can't believe that they STILL don't have it back on.

I took a walk around the block when they "lost" the feed, thinking that I'd get my anger out by seeing the beautiful day outside. It worked.

However, the anger has returned in rapid fashion. At least they're not showingDick Cheney again. That would just be too much to stomach.

[liarliartieonfire]

8. But Not To worry..C-Span will replay it..at a convenient 2:30 A.M.

FIX IT YOU EFFERS!

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

9. Back on, did we miss good Dr. Dean?

[LizW]

10. It was gettin' too hot

for Americans to see. Camryn Manheim virtually slapped Bush* all over the stage. She was awesome. She said, (paraphrasing) "The next President to nominate a Supreme Court Justice MUST be named John Kerry!

Can't have Americans seeing that, can we?

Oooh, it's back! Kathy Najimi (sp?) is up now.

[Lars39]

11. It's back on!!!!

[AbbeyRoad]

12. I was about to go on a typing rant about the lost feed....

and then it just came back on. :-)

I wonder what I missed.

[buff2]

13. How convenient.......

This happens every time with C-Span....the only channel that covers the marches and then there is always a "problem".We have no where to turn. Over a million people at that rally,but yet they just happen to have "lost the satellite". All the other bu$h Nazi propaganda stations won't cover it,and it will just be a 5 second story on the evening news. If this isn't a dictatorship we are living under I don't know what it is. :grr:

[nostamj]

14. is this event

the BIGGEST

ANTI-BUSH RALLY

ever? (well, in the USA that is)

I know it's about women's rights but it has been 100% anti-Bush as well...

[liarliartieonfire]

15. Its Anti-Bush because Bush Policy has FAILED Women on every item.

Bush prefers his women silent, like Laura, and adoring him, like Condi.

He has failed us.

[liarliartieonfire]

16. Manheim chopped Asscroft's ass too!

She was beautiful!
Wish I could be there..

[Lars39]

17. Not just failed.....but Sabotaged us!!!

Fail connotes trying something positive, when in actuality he has proposed/pushed negatives.

[nostamj]

18. oh I agree

he stinks just as bad on gay issues.

I guess I was surprised at how POWERFUL the ANTI-* rhetoric has been.

expected more PRO-Women...

p.s. I do think it's GREAT!

[AbbeyRoad]

19. As to the size of the rally...

several speakers at the rally have said that this is the largest march in US history.

[0007]

20. This rally is beyond all my wildest expectation

go go go go go you girls, I love `ya all.

[senseandsensibility]

21. Did Dean get cut?

I'm still watching, and it's great, but I'd like to know if I have Dean to look forward to. Does anyone know?

[Kolesar]

29. I don't know....I have been waiting to hear him

[AbbeyRoad]

22. Janeane Garofolo and Margaret Cho

were supposed to be there too. Have they been on stage yet, or were they in the section when the feed went down?

[AbbeyRoad]

23. They just cut the feed again...

What the h#*l?! Argh.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

27. This is getting totally ridiculous.

I'm beginning to get really pissed off at C-Span. Back on again. Who are they going to cut the next time?

[indigo32]

24. Another bleeping break in coverage!!!!

whatever.

[playahata1]

25. AND THEY'VE LOST IT AGAIN!

fuckers!

[Lars39]

26. It's back again!!!

[BeHereNow]

28. Electro-magnetic media management?

Seems to me I recall a Darpa project that
used EM technology to shut down communication
technology?
Wouldn't surprise me in the least.
