6. I saw that too!!!!!
He was sooooooooo good.... I didn't catch his name, but he's with Citizens for a Legitimate Government.

That wide-mouth, pug bitch kept telling him he's in a fantasy land, but then he got PISSED and shouted "You think you got more votes than us? (the dems)" He mentioned Diebold, mentioned fraud. And he got pissed that we're supposed to "accept" whatever W&Co says to be true.

Man, was he good. FINALLY we're having REAL exposure on the MSM.

We need to keep speaking out!!!!!!!!!!!

Pat Buchanan once in a while makes a good point...he agrees that it is in the Democratic Party's best interest to stay anti-war left (our base) and not veer to the right. Of course, the pugs hate it, because they want us to be like them.

12. Is it just my imagination...or is MSNBC
covering these issues more than the others? First it was just Keith Olberman. Now I'm seeing snippets scattered around both online & on the air. Being media whores, I'm assuming that all the attention (ratings) given to Keith is making the others at his station a little bit jealous. ;)

39. When you are half the country, and only have one news reporter
on TV, his ratings should soar. Faux News is experiencing major competition in conservative news reporting, so to keep their core base, they become even more rightwing. But in doing so, they lose part of their base to other news networks. You now have what, 5 networks vying for the conservative half of the population?

At some point, one network exec is gonna say, let's go after the liberal 50%.

It's not about core beliefs to them, it's all upwardly bias. Corporate bias. Ratings bias. Advertising bias.

Edited on Tue Dec-07-04 11:13 PM by Clark2008
green. Keep e-mailing him, keep watching him, keep his ratings up. Tell people to stop watching that self-promoting bastard Bill O'Lielly and make the switch to snarky, smart commentary (and, if you have a sports fan on your hands, mention that, yes, it is that Keith Olbermann - it's worked with some of the neo-con loons I'm around!)

:loveya: that Keith!!

And the rest of the MSM can kiss my :kick:

Besides C-Span, I mean.
Is CNN or Faux?

Or the Big 3?

Or are we going to be treated tomorrow night with another heart-wrenching tale of how Shrub roused the troops? :eyes:

Edited on Tue Dec-07-04 11:09 PM by Straight Shooter
Or I should say probably the appropriate one:

contactus@legitgov.org

Michael R. is a Ph.D. and founder of this organization.

Wow, talk about guts!
_________________________

Edit: my email to him:

Dear Mr. Rechtenwald:

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I have just been reading on Democratic Underground about your spectacular performance on Scarborough Country.

Thank you for grabbing everyone by the short hairs and telling it like it is!

Regards,
(Straight Shooter)

23. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when suddenly there it was! LOL
Thanks for the email. I'm going to thank him too, and try to find out more about that organization. I hope that the reason he was put on there wasn't just to get all of us all stirred up and improve Scarborough's ratings! Did you notice how they played the Dean yell again, coming back from commercial? I think Buchanan was a major force in ridiculing Dean over that.

And, sorry took so long to return to the thread I started. My computer had a hiccup.

25. Scarborough has ratings?
Sorry - but I thought all the types he would appeal to have their eyes glazed over at Faux.
I always switch over to Aaron Brown (or just turn off the tube) after KO goes off. At 11 p.m., I watch The Daily Show and, if I'm still up, I catch the replay of KO (and see the parts I missed whilst getting the tot off to bed).

Other than that, we're a Viacom Family (Nickelodeon) - a "blue" viewer (for those interested in supporting companies who give money to Dems.)

37. My email to Rectenwald
Mr. Rectenwald,
I waited up tonight so I could watch the re-airing of Scarborough Country, and it quite literally quickened my pulse to hear someone on national news coverage say "You expect us to take these results on faith?"

Thank you so immeasurably much for being the voice so many of us are struggling to find in these difficult times. The coming fight will shake the very foundations of the world we live in, and no voice will go unappreciated in the coming days. You are, in my regard, a hero to the cause of truth and Democracy. Again, you have my gratitude and admiration.

Yours in solidarity,


Don't let him go unrewarded! Who among us hasn't wished for this kind of boldness since the 3rd of November?

36. Mike's the best
I use to help out on the CLG site. Mike is a brilliant man and says it like it is. At much personal sacrifice, he has consistently put himself on the line to expose the truth about Bushco. Mike has worked with Greg Palast and has been on several radio shows over the years as well. He is a true American hero.

I just watched the Scarborough interview and still want to slap that brown haired Ann Coulter wannabe. She must have been hired to drown Mike out, but he didn't let her. Go Mike! We are proud of you, and thank you for getting our voice out in the MSM!!!

Dear Mr. Scarborough
Many thanks for inviting Michael Rechtenwaldon your show. His remarks about election fraud were just what America needs to hear. You should have more guests like him. Let me suggest Cliff Arneback and Wayne Madsen.
Sincerely
