[Skip Intro]

2. THANKS!

I've been reading about this at work all day.

Thanks!!!

[Gabi Hayes]

3. thank you!

just started the tape....

this will be looked back upon as a seminal feature of the slide into fascism, if there's anyone left down the road to write the real history of what's happened since Reagan's goons took over

[me b zola]

113. documenting history

We are going to make a time-capsule; I've thought about making a thread to get many others to do the same:) Just keep collecting news, documents and other records of the truth so that our history will live on.

[doublethink]

133. Wow took me this long to answer your insight.

I go back to the Reagan days too .... I really believe his administration pushed us into this 'era' ... did you ever read the book 'The Fate of The Earth' by Jonathan Schell back then? Or when Reagan ended the 'Fairness Doctrine' as it relates to the media. Then there was the whole South American hit squads.... etc... etc... anyway, keep the faith, never give up, never surrender. Peace. :)

[dweller]

5. who is talking now?

[LSK]

6. Conyers was just talking, now hte asshole is talking

[LSK]

7. now the asshole says he didnt interrupt Conyers when he did

[dweller]

dp

[deacon]

8. We should all mail Nonsensenbrenner a diaper n/t

[burythehatchet]

14. and please fill them up first

[libnnc]

21. I'm just sayin'...diapers and binkies for Senselessbrenner n/t

[bunny planet]

114. great idea, can they have skidmarks on them.

Boxer gets roses, this is what you get asshat.

[nadinbrzezinski]

118. binky alert, i sent him a binky

and a copy of the constitution... oh and a letter

:-)

[Skip Intro]

9. What an asshole.

Excuse my language, but this dopey, whiny fuck is about a disgusting a pig as I've heard yet..

Good God Almighty, what the hell has happened to this nation?

[LSK]

11. I COULDNT AGREE MORE - WHAT AN ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!

I JUST WANT TO SLAP HIM.

[doublethink]

12. OHHHHHHHHHH IT GETS WORSE !!!!!!!!

WATCH. :)

[Coexist]

19. He is rude and treats the Dems like crap from beginning to end

the end is just too unbelievable

[immoderate]

13. Asshole and pig sound right so far....

What's coming up I wonder?:popcorn:

--IMM

[doublethink]

15. I THINK CONSERVATIVE IDIOT OF THE WEEK ........

IS WAAYYY TOO KIND .... FOR THIS DICK. :bounce: Keep watching. :freak:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

16. I can't believe my ears! WTF is going on?????

[doublethink]

20. Well it's supposed to be a hearing on

the Patriot Act by Witnesses who have delt with it personally since it's existence ...... and this Sensensonasshole is trying to shut down the process of liberty. Watch the WHOLE THING ..... Peace. :)

[Skip Intro]

17. That was Shelia Jackson Lee that pig wouldn't recognize, wasn't it?

He said earlier she wasn't there, and then he wouldn't recognize her.

THIS should be played on the news like Dean's "scream" was.

DEAN should play it up.

White Christian Party INGORES Black Congresswoman.

[welshTerrier2]

22. yes, it was ...

he refused to recognize her "point of order" ...

later, he finally recognizes her and then dismisses her by saying that her "point of order" was not properly formed ...

the arrogance of power in this hearing needs to be seen by all in America ... the arrogance of power it portrayed and the tyranny of the majority was stripped naked for all to see ...

the committee Dems, specifically Conyers, Nadler and Lee were nothing short of heroic ... i'm glad DU'ers are tuned in ...

[ConfuZed]

18. Mmmm Carlina *arf* *arf* *arf* n/t

[POAS]

44. Left wing women .....love em all!

[doublethink]

23. EVERYBODY SEE THE MIDDLE EASTERN AMERICANS ....

In the Background, Audience? They were supposed to Testify at this thing too ..... today. Librarians were in the audience who I believe were there to do the same. Anway...... they never got to ... Today anyway but this isn't over. Watch how Sennsenasshole cuts everybody off after their 5 minutes of speaking. An amazing spectacle. peace. :)

[LSK]

24. so its coming up

Im almost nervous from embarrassment expecting him to cut someone off at any moment.

[LSK]

25. it sounds to me that this testimoney is essential

What these people are bringing up are serious issues regarding the Patriot Act. I would assume that Congress pay serious attention to such discussion. However, for the Repukes to not even want to hear this is so telling of how much they hate America.

[doublethink]

26. Very Essential ..... you hit it right on the head.

And the way this guy Sensenasshole ended up acting in muzzeling and eventually shutting down this hearing ....KEEP WATCHING .......... should once again backfire on these idiots. :)

[Just Me]

37. TOTAL CENSORSHIP OF ABUSE!!!

Can you believe this shit?!!!!! :grr:

He unilaterally shut the hearing down because it PROVED that the BushCO/neoCON propaganda was a LIE!!!!!

EW! :grr: EW! :grr:

A freakin' dictatorship in charge of America. No wonder she is crying and divided and in so much pain!!!!

[doublethink]

41. ...... Ibid

:grr:

[POAS]

27. I think Sensenbrenner was set off by

all the Brown faces in the gallery. He was intimidated.

[doublethink]

28. How can you report an abuse .......

when the f ... ing act itself ... threatens to throw you in jail for reporting it? These f .... ing Republicans. Catch 22.

[dweller]

29. i just got a decent link

and Petts is talking...

i take it that that pig NoSensenbrenner hasn't shut it down yet?

dp

[LSK]

31. not yet

He had a damn rude opening thou.

[doublethink]

34. Are you trying to watch this on a dial up? n/t

[dweller]

38. sadly, yes

and i've normally had no problems. Recently, i tried to watch ..something, don't remember, and had to update my windows media player. It does not want to recognize some extension from Cspan, so am just using their player.
i think.

dp

[LSK]

30. that is Zogby of the Zogby polls?

[doublethink]

32. I believer it was ...

James Zogby, Arab American Institute.

[dweller]

33. my video is shoddy, but audio is good

it 'sounded' like him...edit: he was talking about polls...

now who is the rep talking about '215' ?

[POAS]

35. That is the one

[umtalal]

123. No, this is his brother of the AAI: Arab American Institute. Both are dems

http://www.aaiusa.org/countdown/countdown.htm

[doublethink]

36. Watt handles this cool ........

but gets his point in. THAT SENSENASSHOLE IS A ..... well anyway. :)

[libnnc]

40. That's my Mel!

Very smooth indeed.

[LSK]

39. hes being a Time clock NAZI right now

grrrrrrrrrrrrr

[many a good man]

42. Franks: "You hurt the cause of freedom when you denigrate

the greatest defender of freedom in the world."

Who is this turd bag?

[AlCzervik]

43. Jeez could the Gopers be any more nasty to Zogby?

each ones voice drips with contempt towards him and Chip Pitts, on the one humorous not, i think it's pretty funny that some democrats say in a slightly snarky was---"Thank you Mr. Chairman for holding this hearing that you didn't want but you had to under rule 11"

[POAS]

46. How about

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for your civility towards the witnesses."

[AlCzervik]

54. yes, also hilarious!!!! I keep waitng for them to puncuate that

that with "On opposite day"

[doublethink]

47. Haaaaaaa. :)

yea it's like the Repubs just wanna sit there and .... refute with talking points, propaganda, not listen to concerns, is this a hearing? :think:

[many a good man]

45. Can a prosecutor overrule a judge?!!!

Can under the Patriot Act!

[Sparkly]

48. This is fascinating.

If there was ever a doubt that any of these Republicans were total asses, after this any doubt is removed.

[cyberpj]

49. I'm most tired of bloaty faced old white men awaiting their heart attacks

and filling their pockets running my country's government.

[LSK]

51. just what I was thinking

They are also under the impression that America is #1, like it was still 1945.

[cyberpj]

60. rah rah rah... And did you see that article about our "#1 Status" ? nt.

[dweller]

55. ie

Coble

stick a cork in it...

thank god he's shut up.

dp

[many a good man]

50. "I'm not defending Agu Grahb!"

Coble.

"We were minding our own business and then we were attacked..."

[Sparkly]

52. Omigod!! Sensenbrenner is just plain RUDE!!!

NONE of the normal protocols are taking place in this. He cut off Sheila Jackson-Lee, he won't let witnesses even complete their sentences, he is not comfortable with this hearing at ALL.

Wonder why?!?

[cyberpj]

62. Got this contact infor for him from another thread on this hearing:

of the Chairman"!!!

[Sparkly]

57. That was incredible!

What else could she do, he wouldn't let her talk!!

[Horse with no Name]

56. Improve the economy!

Send a couple pounds of fatty bacon to Coble and some of these other fatass Republicans to make a point and hopefully clog their arteries.

[doublethink]

58. THE LAST 10 MINUTES OF THIS THING .......

ARE AMAZING ........ KEEP WATCHING. :popcorn:

[doublethink]

59. AND LISTEN CLOSELY

:popcorn:

[many a good man]

61. How much longer does this go?

I've never seen such disgusting disregard for the institution of Congress in my life!

[doublethink]

68. I wanna guess maybe 20 more minutes?

:shrug: but don't hold me to that :)

[cyberpj]

73. About 6 mins after Sensenbrener "recognizes" himself and starts spewing.

[AlwaysDemocrat]

63. How many of the other 9 hearings were behind closed doors?

They all keep mentioning how much they learned in the other 9 hearings. From what I understand a lot of the work on the Patriot Act was not open to the public.

[cyberpj]

69. What kills me is when I read in the press that meetings are "secret".

How can you have a secret meeting that's announced as a secret meeting?

[cyberpj]

64. The same old sound bites all the time!

You're empowering the terrorists!

You're discouraging our soldiers!!

What about those de-capitators!!!!!???

[LSK]

65. now its time to scold Amnesty International over the word "Gulag"

Lets just ignore the Patriot Act and talking about the choice of ONE FUCKING WORD!!!!

[Sparkly]

67. "Yeah but North Korea is worse." nt

[AlCzervik]

66. Zogby says "More pictures of ASbu-garib will be coming out end of month

I did not know that.

Also, the ugliness coming from the gop side Imo is because when they signed on to the Patriot Act it was a buy now, pay later. They know whats happened and like cornered defensive rats they're doing everything they can to say it's not so, they know it's so.

[LSK]

72. yes, a court ordered more pictures to be released

It was discussed on DU last week, do a search.

[cyberpj]

75. ACLU filed FOIA request and got them released. nt. DONATE TO ACLU!

a good marker.

77. Often seeing the sam Dem House members speaking up for our rights!

And I try to write them every time.

With Conyers, remember Wasserman Schultz, and Ms. Jackson Lee.

[Coexist]

81. I did that right after the hearing this morning

Zogby actually wrote back within a few hours!

[cyberpj]

82. These are for you. And anyone else who regularly writes thank-yous.

[Coexist]

83. awwww....

thanks!

[cyberpj]

80. Oh yeah....... Eliminate secret hearings.......... Unless a judge agrees

But then they'll have no problem getting that, either.

[cyberpj]

84. I like that everyone got all reports submitted to the record

before Sensenbrenner runs out on the hearing.

[doublethink]

85. HERE WE GO ........ 19 SECONDS EACH ......

THEN SENSENASSHOLE RECOGNIZES HIMSELF ...... HERE WE GO .... :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

Mr. Pitts - submit for the records the names of the librarians.

Thank you all for coming today -

96. "Creating legal black holes - and democracy is in serious trouble"

I hope many many people get to see this.

Jackson Lee addressing the Muslim women makes me proud.

[derby378]

94. Just gavelled it shut - unfuckingbelievable

Even if some folks did take liberties with the parameters of the hearing, that sort of thing happens on the Hill all the time.

ginbarn told me this is what the Nazis did with minority parties in Germany when they were still consolidating power in the early 30s.

[cyberpj]

97. We do at least have the chance to learn from history - LET'S START NOW. nt

100. Zogby got in a good point at the last

what a great example to fledgling Democracies of how an 'open' government works...

not.

[Sparkly]

95. Oh... My.... God.... n/t

[LSK]

98. I am so disgusted by the Repukes and so PROUD of the Dems

They continue to try to discuss it and cudos to CSPAN for keeping coverage going even thou that fat fascist ordered discussions to end.

[Sparkly]

102. Fascist is right.

That was absolutely disgraceful.

[cyberpj]

105. And it's showing more and more each and every day. WAKE UP AMERICA.

We can only keep doing our best to discuss and expose it.

SECRET MEETINGS have no place in US Government.

Something good has to come out of this...

Maybe the media will show this on television all day tomorrow... Haahahahhahahahah!!! :cry:

[Greybnk48]

117. My local news just covered it

NBC26 out of Green Bay. I usually don't watch it (anymore) but we're getting wholloped by storms and tornados again tonight--all clear now. They showed the clip of Senn. calling the meeting to a close and talking over the witnesses and Dems. Then they showed him get up and walk out. It was not very flattering so I was very surprised!! I am livid!! I saw the hearing earlier today and he will hear from me tomorrow. He is an embarassment and I think an argument could be made that his conduct today was not only blatantly partisan but could be construed as racist (see what Jackson-Lee says at the end).

[LSK]

124. maybe because the ASS is from Wisconsin n/t

[Greybnk48]

126. Green Bay is pretty regressive

It surprised me they did not edit the piece to present the fat fuck in a better light. It surprised me they showed it at all--local boy or not.

[MadisonProgressive]

127. Only a FIB would make a comment like that!

[Greybnk48]

129. Hey!!!!!!!!!

"There's nothing more conservative than a Madison Liberal." Right back at ya bucko. I'm here in Appleton with Joe McCarthy's ghost flying around and the National headquarters of the John Bircher's. I don't need a hassle from one of my supposed comrades.

[MadisonProgressive]

138. yo fellow wisconsinite!

I was responding to the FIB, LSK, not to you.

[MadisonProgressive]

141. Oops - never mind - he's not a FIB - just a good friend from Illinois

[LSK]

139. what I meant ...

I meant the local news covered him because he was a Congressman from that state. My comment had nothing to do with Wisconsin. If the Denver news covered something about a Colorado congressman, I would have used the same logic.

[MadisonProgressive]

140. Sorry - I guess I've been programmed

and jumped to the conclusion that you were dissing WI because some dumb assholes voted for this pig. You are NOT a FIB after all!

Please accept my apology...

[LSK]

142. Accepted

No hard feelings.

[BrewerJohn]

119. CSPAN running it again now, 10:20 pm CDT

For those who missed it on the early evening replay.

[Beaver Tail]

120. OMG!!!

Sooo Many Impeachments … Sooooo little time

[ebayfool]

134. Catchin' it now - good stuff! The dems pushed back well, didn't they?

OT - Know any Brewers' in Kern County CA (please tell me there are dem branches out there, somewhere! LOL)

[umtalal]

121. Zogby's Comment

Volume VI, No. 15
June 10, 2005


While presiding over the hearing, Sensenbrenner was surprisingly hostile towards his colleagues complaining, “The ACLU has testified four times before. I guess they didn’t get to say all they wanted to say, that’s why they are here for the fifth time.” The ACLU was not present at the hearing. In addition, Sensenbrenner twice refused to acknowledge Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee (D-TX) and repeatedly cut off witness responses to Members’ questions in mid-sentence. Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) sarcastically interjected stating his appreciation for “your civility to the witnesses.” Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) admonished AAI President James Zogby for suggesting American torture of detainees. “Don’t blame me,” Zogby responded. “I’m not the one who wrote the memos.”

[Gloria]

130. Zogby often writes pieces that are published in the Arab News....

if he writes about our "open hearings" as an example of democracy, he'll get his revenge....

[geomon666]

122. CSPAN.org now has the clip up

Look down to Recent Programs and you'll see it there at the top of the list.

125. Thanks for the posting, I am taping it now.

I was at my mother's house, working on the living room from hell so I didn't know this happen until I got home and I turned on Mike Malloy's show.

I just hate republicans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deacon]

128. MSM should be covering this instead of the Dean non-story

If CNN is looking for credibility back, they should be all over this guy.
