10. Priceless Palast!

" MLK didn't say let's give the lynchers our rope.
so don't vote Repub to hold the Dems feet to the fire"

Great Panel!

[EFerrari]

11. Terrific! I've never heard Paul Robeson Jr or Steve Freeman

before.

I hope they rerun it!

[Melissa G]

12. Freeman is always great! but Paul Robeson Jr. is my new hero!!

All the panelists except Mc WHORETER (no, that is not a typo) were excellent!

Great Stuff! My computer savvy daughter says it is on You Tube..Some smart person put up a link cuz she is down the street already.

It is well worth watching!

[Wiley50]

13. Robison is so genuine

First panelist I've ever seen who held his head in both hands like he had a migraine
half the time he was speaking.
We all have a real headache on this issue.
McWhoreter is a shill.
That's why he made a point of saying,
"I am not a shill"
How Nixon can you get?

[Melissa G]

14. Saying he has never voted Repub but suggesting other blacks ought

to was utterly ludicrous!!! I was so glad other panelists popped him for that esp Palast!

[European Socialist]

15. How moronic--vote Repuke because they cheated you out of your vote.

[glitch]

16. Wonder who the hell did vote for..libertarians? Citing NCLB as an example

of repukes supporting black community. What a stooge. All the other panelists were awesome though, and I am glad he and that sole questioner from Yale showed up to demonstrate what we're up against. That interplay seemed a tad pat.
I wonder if they arrived together?

[Melissa G]

17. yeah, but the other panelists shut them down pretty quick!

I wish that panel could have gone a couple of more hours!!!

26. That was some discussion

I guess they know we've got their backs?

Still a bit in awe..... they were discussing things that one used to wonder if DU was the only place such discussions occurred.

But there it was. Awesome!
