61. Thx for the list - missed it this morning but am listening now!

[AllexxisF1]

26. Now this is great stuff.

Hearing real people bitch about the state of the country is always damn good radio. These people from Alaska ROCK!

[City Lights]

28. They know their shit!

Very well informed!

:patriot:

On edit - guy on now is fired up, bigtime!

[ClayZ]

42. I think this is indicative that many AMERICANS

are really paying attention!

[trueblue2007]

62. Darn...it isn't on now. Something boring is. I will listen to Randi today though

[City Lights]

63. It was on here (CDT) from 11-2. See post #16 though for additional info. nt

[Lilyeye]

2. Sounds good.

Where can I listen?

[tilsammans]

5. Here's a place to listen

[Lilyeye]

7. Thank You!

[symbolman]

3. I can't stand the guy

I've tried, just can't deal with him.. sorry..

[City Lights]

4. He's not doing most of the talking today.

He's leaving that to Alaskans.

[madwivoter]

13. Even if you don't like the guy, it's been pretty enlightening so far...

I would recommend giving a listen if you can :)

Another link: http://www.themic921.com/main.html

[ginnyinWI]

56. he's never spoken so little on any of his shows as today.

He doesn't have to--this crowd sounds like an angry mob! He'll be talking about it for days when he gets back, I'm sure. These people are on fire.

[Sebastian Doyle]

64. Usually I listen to Randi, and not Schultz

But this time he's letting the people of Alaska do all the talking. And after hearing them, I really question this supposed "80% approval rating" that Moosealini allegedly has.

[ClayZ]

6. Listen Live here:

http://www.wwrl1600.com/live_stream.asp

Last guy up was singing her praises!

Argh!

K and R

[ClayZ]

8. These folks are PISSED!

kick

[Az_lefty]

9. K&R...people that actually know this gal are speaking up and their pissed...

[Blue_In_AK]

10. We're not stupid.

We could handle her as governor, but VP? No f****** way.

[secondwind]

11. right on! Good for you, speak out, shout it out! We cannot have

someone so pitifully uninformed (who doesn't know she is uninformed) become the first woman President. We have some many more women more eminently qualified, this is sheer stupidity!

[merh]

17. So is the tanning bed true

???

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=7074381

[Blue_In_AK]

20. I don't know about that.

It could be, but it's not anything we've heard about before now.

[merh]

24. Maybe there is a whole lot about the lady that Alaskans don't know

about - she is big on secrecy and destruction if you cross her. :scared:

The article said that the tanning bed has been confirmed by state officials.

[Blue_In_AK]

32. It's true.

We're learning a lot of these things for the first time now. I guess as Alaskans we should thank John McCain for throwing her under this spotlight.

[merh]

33. As the believers would say

"God works in mysterious ways" :)

[ClayZ]

12. "She is in "Kindergarten" as far as govt. is concerned"...

"she has not learned to get along with others".


says one lady in the crowd.

[ClayZ]

14. Wolf hunting: PEOPLE VOTED AGAINST IT.

Ballot was very confusing and worded to fool people!

[Born_A_Truman]

15. I'm listening to KUDO

A woman in the audience said Alaskans voted twice to not allow shooting wolves from the air and after Palin was elected, her LtGov wrote another ballot initiative that was so confusing to the voters, they thought they were voting it down but actually voted it in.

[knixphan]

18. Great to hear!

Love this stuff - the real people.

[ClayZ]

19. 10 year old girl standing up for POLAR BEARS

Good for her!

[merh]

22. my sound is screwed up

please throwing me tidbits

:hi:

[ClayZ]

25. Someone laughingly said he was torn because

If McCain/Palin looses, Alaska gets her back. He then said he would gladly sacrifice Alaska govt. for the greater good of US government.

Another said: She is not pro-life she is PRO WAR and does not care about people AFTER they are born. (He was and Alaska Peace and Justice Worker)

People say they would be happy to return the Alaska rebate for green policies!

He merh! :pals:

[merh]

29. The spotlight on Palin may do both the nation and Alaska

some good - she will be why McCain loses - his poor judgment and lose of corporate sponsorship - and her crimes and ethics violations will be exposed. Maybe she will make history after all, the first governor of alaska to be removed from office.

good to see you ClayZ :pals:

[ClayZ]

38. McCain's judgment is the KEY (he has very little judgmnet left!)

I hope they recall Palin when she gets back to Alaska for good. Only 56 days left till she goes HOME!

[krkaufman]

66. That's a rant I had a week or so back

> People say they would be happy to return the Alaska rebate for green policies!

That Palin should have spent those additional funds on alternative energy, AK National Guard, addressing the meth problem, improving education, or a myriad other problems facing Alaskans, rather than as a payoff of the voters. (But then that was the real reason for the rebate, to boost her approval and gain national attention.)

[Skwmom]

21. Telling the truth about someone, exposing someone for the fraud they are is not

tearing someone apart in my book.

[eleny]

34. Yup, just tearing off the mask

:thumbsup:

[tilsammans]

23. Using state helicopters . . .

. . . in gunning down animals?

27. Ed Shultz will be on Larry King tonight! This stuff needs to get out!

[silverlil]

60. Rachel

is on at that time here on the west coast, so I will be watching Rachel, I will have to record the midnight version. I like Ed Shultz.

[eleny]

30. I want to see a video of this guy speaking

He's on fire. His passion is palpable running down her education compared to Obama's and Biden's and other issues.

It's hard to put his emotion into words but he's really had it with Palin.

[ClayZ]

31. Man says, "Sarah Palin is equal to the bu$h cabal.

They have weakend our military to the point of breaking.

Sarah Palin compared to Biden and Obama... She is a communications Grad from the U of Idaho. McCain campaign is not going to let the press see her, because *there is nothing there!!!*

[MiniMe]

35. I wonder how this was advertised? There are a lot of very pissed off Alaskans there

[MadMaddie]

37. Ed was speaking about it for two weeks and he spoke to a lot

of leaders in Alaska to get the people out to the forum!

Go Ed!!

[City Lights]

36. Did anybody catch the comment that had something to do with "injection?"

The crowd roared, but I couldn't hear what the speaker was saying.

[riverwalker]

43. it was a native american

saying Palin is claiming to be some kind of authority on NA issues because Todd is 1/8 eskimo. He then said she gets her NA cred "by injection".

[City Lights]

44. The crowd reaction makes sense now!

Thank you. :hi:

[krkaufman]

67. omg. That one might have been a bit offside. n/t

[ClayZ]

39. Man says Palin removed BUILDING CODES!

[City Lights]

40. Talking about Troopergate and McCain camp trying to cover it up!

[ClayZ]

41. McCain Camp came into the state of Alaska

and trying to shut down troopergate. Only thing McCain has CHANGED is Sarah Palin's decision to go ahead with Troopergate.


He is calling the McCain Camp out for stalling and stonewalling the investigation!

[City Lights]

45. I was impressed with what that man said.

Ed wanted him to give his opinion on the ongoing investigation and he wouldn't. He instead said he wanted to comment on something he considers much more serious and proceeded to explain what the McCain campaign has been up to since invading Alaska.

[Blue_In_AK]

47. Les Gara is one of my favorite state legislators.

He never lets us down.

This was his prepared statement.

[City Lights]

48. Thank you for putting a name with a voice.

He did a fantastic job. :-)

[roguevalley]

58. hi, blue. he never answered the question of what happens if found

that there are infractions. Impeachment is next? do you know? i can't find an answer.

[Blue_In_AK]

72. Yeah, I wish he had been a little more definitive on that as well.

I guess as one lone legislator he was a little nervous to go out on a limb. I wonder if John McCain has any kind of a clue how much he has damaged Sarah Palin within the state. When she comes back here to finish her gubernatorial term, no one will take her seriously anymore. She was incredibly stupid to accept this offer.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

71. Holy motherplucking shoot - I went to law school with Les Gara!

he and i were both in the same class as Michelle Obama!!

[Blue_In_AK]

73. It's a small world, isn't it? n/t

If so..you can put the audio on youtube to get the word out

[roguevalley]

59. they should archive shows here and you can then send the links

out. ed's website and www.kudo1080.com which is the local AAR station in Anchorage. Its a great station to stream if you like the Palin mess because they break a lot of stuff and talk to people who know her.

50. NY Times Looks at Palin on Social Issues

By the Editorial Board of the New York Times, September 10, 2008

http://theboard.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/ ... ly-agenda/

"The alliance said that attendees at a “women’s summit” in 2007 had urged the new governor to tackle the following problems, but got no response:

Increase funding for Denali Kid Care (Alaska’s State Children’s Health Insurance Program, or Schip). Alaska is one of a minority of states that fail to fund health insurance for families up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level.

Decrease the incidence of domestic violence and sexual assault in Alaska. Alaska’s rape rate is 2.5 times the national average and Alaska is No. 1 in the nation, per capita, in women murdered by men.

Provide medically accurate sex education in public schools. Alaska leads the nation in the rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea, and has high rates of teen pregnancy.

Health-care advocates expressed acute disappointment about the failure of the expansion of Denali Kid Care, which would have covered about 1,200 children, and 530 pregnant women, using only $825,000 of state funding. They said the measure had the strong support of a broad range of constituencies — including hospitals, pharmacists, nurses, women’s and religious organizations — but died in committee after the governor rebuffed the advocates’ pleas to speak up on its behalf.

The alliance provided a list of other dismal social indicators that it says Alaska — with its multibillion dollar state budget surplus — should be hard at work reversing:

Alaska ranks near the bottom for providing children’s health care.
Alaska ranks 43rd in the nation for percentage of children in preschool.
Alaska is 39th in the nation for high school graduates; 10 percent of high schoolers drop out.
Alaska ranks near the bottom for students completing college and for levels of high school dropouts.
Alaska is one of only 11 states without a pay-equity law.
Alaska has the nation’s highest suicide rate."

[JPZenger]

54. Posted on www.politico.com's blog

A post above noted Palin's opposition to basic building codes. I looked into it and found the following post on www.politico.com, which is apparently based upon an LA Times news article:

"In 1997, she broke a tie in a city council vote to kill building codes. Even some area homebuilders supported the building codes.

"Among the many similarities to Bush she bears, Palin -- like Bush -- is a borrow & spend fiscal fraud. She took a town of less than 9,000 people that was debt-free in 1996 and ran it over $18 million into debt by 2003. She implemented a 25% increase in the most regressive tax possible -- the sales tax -- to finance her hockey rink project. In 2002, Pailn used city employees (on the clock), city equipment, and city facilities to work on her campaign for Lt. Governor.

She opposed an ordinance changing the closing time of bars in Wasilla from 5:00 AM to 3:00 AM. The Wasilla police chief at the time, Irl Stambaugh, supported the change as a public-safety measure. Palin, who had accepted numerous campaign contributions from local bar owners and the liquor lobby, fired Stambaugh immediately upon taking office.

On top of all that, it appears that Palin is either a major league flip-flopper, or a hypocrite. From yesterday's LA Times: "McCain has made opposition to pork-barrel spending a central theme of his 2008 campaign. "Earmarking deprives federal agencies of scarce resources, at the whim of individual members of Congress," McCain has said. But records show that Palin -- first as mayor of Wasilla and recently as governor of Alaska -- was far from shy about pursuing tens of millions in earmarks for her town, her region and her state.

She actively sought federal funds -- a campaign that began to pay off only after she hired a lobbyist with close ties to Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), who long controlled federal spending as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. He made funneling money to Alaska his hallmark. Steven Silver was a former chief of staff for Stevens. After he was hired, Wasilla obtained funding for several projects in 2002, including an additional $600,000 in transportation funding. That year, a local water and sewer project received $1.5 million, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, which combs federal spending measures to identify projects inserted by congressional members. This year she submitted to Congress a list of Alaska projects worth $197.8 million."

55. The importance of Saturday's demonstrations in Anchorage

nationwide. (From ProgressiveAlaska.com. http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/2008/09/srise-lost-chapter-fifty-six-importance.html )

The photographs of Alaska women - with a supporting cast of supportive males - demonstrating outside the biggest public library in Alaska (insert subtle inside joke), are circulating across the internet. They give a strong validity to two important aspects in the growing nationwide awareness of Gov. Palin's vast shortcomings.

One is the GOP point that Palin is a strong woman, supported by Alaska women. The other is the growing national perception about how Alaskans, particularly, in this case, Alaska's women view our future, if it were somehow left in the presidential hands of Sarah Palin.

I find it quite disgusting that the Alaska press, so far, has so fully and inaccurately portrayed comparisons between the GOP Palin lovefest, and the Loussac Library women's event. I just heard Steve Heimel, on APRN's morning Alaska summary, inaccurately compare the two, in favor of the faux event organized on Palin's behalf. Every person I've spoken with who was at both events, estimated the Palin crowd at the new convention center, as less than 1,000. And everyone outside the MSM Alaska media, including the Anchorage police, has categorized the women's crowd at around 1,500 or more. And Heimel - as is the case with other reporters - failed to accurately compare Eddie Burke's mostly male, pathetic counter-demonstration.

More importantly, to those who were at the GOP event, well, almost a third the crowd may have been drummed up, and some others were most likely paid to be there. Here's from one reporter who chooses to remain anonymous:


The oil companies have plants in the Palin/McCain audience. I saw a guy on TV a few days ago yelling "Drill, Baby, Drill". This was in a city down south somewhere at a rally. The SAME guy was at the Palin rally in the stands behind Sarah. And he was in coordination with a McCain campaigner who handed him one of the "S-A-R-A-H" letters in the stands behind here on the podium. Twice he stood up and shouted "Drill, Baby, Drill".

There were a group of three women behind me that had Palin/McCain hats and shirts too with the same slogans. Who cares about drilling but the oilies? Everybody uses plants, but do they fly them all over the US to do it??? I'd love to go to these rallies and start taking pictures of themes.


Outside Alaska, women's groups, inspired by the Loussac demonstration, are starting activist organizations and information distributing web sites. And comparisons of the Alaska crowd, interpolated on the size of other city or state populations, are being made:


some very rough cypherin’

1700 women within the Alaskan population =

80,000+ jampacked at the Los Angeles Coliseum in California

65,000 at DisneyWorld in Florida

62,000 at Madison Square Garden

60,000 at Texas Stadium in Dallas


This morning's Ed Schultz program, airing and streamed soon on Anchorage's KUDO, and at hundreds of stations across the country, will also show how strongly and independently Alaskans feel and express themselves on Palin.

I'll be quite busy working this week, so expect less posts. Sorry! Stay tuned at Mudflats, Alaska Real, Celtic Diva's Blue Oasis and Just a Girl from Homer, though.

69. Working link to editorial in question....

Governor Palin and the Pro-Family Agenda

[eleny]

57. Excellent program

[Sebastian Doyle]

65. That guy who's talking right now needs to have his own radio show

He could be Alaska's answer to Mike Malloy.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

70. Ed is the perfect facilitator for this

Big, beefy, corn-fed midwesterner that loves his football, hunts birds and fishes but is a staunch union-loving Democrat. He won't scare them one bit and they will talk to and with him.

I've said it before and will say it again. I am well to the left of Big Eddie, but there is not one Dem-leaning host who is better able to make converts out of leaners. His basic pitch is common economic sense to the working class and there is nothing we need more.
