BUCHANAN: Let‘s let Michael Rectenwald get in here.

RECTENWALD: Yes, please. Thank you.

(CROSSTALK)

RECTENWALD: First of all, let me just say something.

Michael Moore did not hurt the Democratic Party. You had a segment about miracles in the last segment here. I‘d like to talk about some miracles that happened in Ohio, like 4,400 votes added to a precinct that had only 800 votes—voters in it, OK, that voted for Bush. Let‘s talk about the miracles of Diebold.

BUCHANAN: They did the recount. They did the recount, my friend.

RECTENWALD: They can‘t recount votes that were miraculously computer posited, Pat.

BUCHANAN: But you are going to have to wait four more years for this.

(CROSSTALK)

RECTENWALD: I know. Once Diebold controls the election—and it‘s a Republican-owned corporation that promised the election for Bush from the outset, are we supposed to believe these results? This is a faith-based political process, isn‘t it?

(CROSSTALK)

BUCHANAN: OK, Govindini, go ahead.

MURTY: This is the problem. You guys are living in a fantasy land.

(CROSSTALK)

RECTENWALD: Oh, really? You‘re living in fantasy land. You think you got more votes than we did?

MURTY: You‘re living in a fantasy land.

Look, after “Fahrenheit 9/11” came out, Bush‘s poll numbers on Iraq rose 10 points.

RECTENWALD: Oh, right.

MURTY: I mean, Michael Moore did nothing but help. Frankly, he turned off America so much, he and the rest of Hollywood...

(CROSSTALK)

RECTENWALD: First of all, they shifted the attention away from the real problem. That is what Bush did, the lies.

(CROSSTALK)

RECTENWALD: First of all, did you know that George Bush Sr. was sitting in a room with bin Laden‘s brother on the day that 9/11 happened?

(CROSSTALK)

BUCHANAN: OK.

RECTENWALD: That‘s true.

BUCHANAN: Bin Laden‘s brother. OK.

MURTY: All I can say is...

(CROSSTALK)

BUCHANAN: Hold it. Hold it.

RECTENWALD: Do you find anything wrong with that, or is that—are we supposed to accept that on faith, too?

BUCHANAN: We‘re going to have to hit the microphones here in a second, because we‘re coming back to Washington.

3. Republicans telling Democrats how to run their party???
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 04:45 PM by Blue_In_AK
I was struck throughout this whole segment by how arrogant these people are talking about why the Democratic party should throw out Michael Moore and the Hollywood left. Puh-leeze. Why are THEY telling US who should be in our party? God, these people make me sick. And that woman -- she really needed to be muzzled. Smug bitch.

6. I felt the same way too.
And the sad part is, the DLC/DNC allows it. They are afraid of Repubs, always concerned about how the pugs will perceive us. Well, I say f*** them!!!!!!!

7. This reminds me of that movie Team America.
I used to be a Southpark Fan until I saw that film and felt like I'd been slimed by a neocon infomercial. Hearing this point of view being espoused, which is identical to the brutal hack job on MMoore--and Susan Sarandon and anyone else in Hollywood who cares--in that film, makes me think Trey Parker and Matt Stone are friends with KKKarl.

In fact I even saw a song lyric from that movie as a freeper signature line: Freedom costs a buck-oh-five.

I have woken up to a lot of things since this election.

8. Team America
That's why I didn't go see that film. I could tell from the trailers that it would probably piss me off.
