Wolfie must need new underware everytime Jack opens his mouth!

[babylonsister]

8. I loves me some Jack! Thanks, helderheid & C&L! nt

[helderheid]

9. aww!

:hug:

[Sherman A1]

11. Just sent the link

niece who is a newly minted voter, with the comment - "This is why it's important for you to vote in November." I know she will (I took her to register and she's excited to vote), but a little reinforcement never hurts...

[helderheid]

12. Good on you getting her registered!

:yourock:

[Sherman A1]

16. Thanks,

she's the one who "Rocks".... It will too soon be up to her generation to sort out the mess we have left them....

[bluedog]

13. comment on "wolfs" jacket.......

being in Jerusalem does you good.(or something to that effect......and the first letter Jack reads is .The emperor has no clothes.

was that a dig at Wolf????

[bvar22]

14. K&R

HooRay for Cafferty!!!!

He didn't just attack the bush* administration, but slammed the bush* controlled "Republican" congress for their failure to provide oversight for the American People!!!

[BrightKnight]

15. Like Cronkite or Murrow

That was like listening to Cronkite or Murrow. True journalism is apparently not dead.

-------
I nominate him for one of these:

[Supersedeas]

61. not dead but often buried in the dirt of infotainment, propoganda and mis-

information.

[Greybnk48]

17. What a relief it is to hear someone, anyone, speak plainly and

truthfully on the television about these snakes in Washington. The President* knowingly and deliberately broke the law...period. And he lied to the American public...period. Good for you Jack.

[mod mom]

19. Amen to that!

[Change has come]

18. K&R n/t

:kick:

[cynatnite]

20. I love Jack!

K&R!

[Senator]

21. Everyone Broadcast This Link -- To Everywhere!!

To all Euphemedia members.

To all "leaders" and especially their staffs (yes, each one separately).

To all relatives and friends.

Post it to all forums you can find.

This is the simple reality that the DC/Euphemedia Analstocracy can pretend doesn't exist by not saying/hearing the actual words.

This is literally how it works. They pretend it's not a crime, it's (just a little game of) "power grab." Just "overreaching." Anything but the pure truth that must be acted upon.

Force them to hear it and minds will change. They really will.

22. Shoot! My kid has been screwing with my computer again and ...

messed with the sound. Transcript is great, but I would so dearly love to hear it in his own voice.

[bear425]

23. Helderheid, thanks for posting! Read some of the comments

at Cafferty's blog: http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/situation.room/blog/

A couple smart and a couple moronic comments:

What does a federal judge's ruling that the NSA spying program is illegal mean for President Bush?

Nothing. He's broken laws before and nothing has been done. This will be no different. Authoritarianism, my friend.
Brian, Winfield, Alabama

It means that once again the President must deal with these liberal judges... President Bush is simply trying to protect the American people. Give him a break Cafferty!
Eric, Arlington, Texas

It says Bush is a crook on two counts now: warrantless wiretapping and prisoner abuse.
Jim, Grants Pass, Oregon

The question should be: what does it mean to the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives since they are the ones that would prosecute any illegal activities committed by a sitting president.
Tony, New Jersey

All of you people who are trying to take away the tools our government needs to catch terrorists, will be the first to say that the President didn't do enough to connect the dots if we have another attack in this country. You can't have it both ways.
Joann, Pennsylvania

It means he's more appealing than ever.
Bill, Leesburg, Florida

24. Just emailed this thank you

To: [e-mail]
Subject: Finally, the TRUTH. Thank You Jack!!
Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 22:28:18 +0000

Thank you for saying what should be obvious to all. Bush has nuked our
Constitution with his claims to unrestrained power. Spying on us without a
warrant is intolerable, but it is his claim to unitary authoritarian power to
commit that crime (and others) with impunity that is truly devastating to our
system of government.

Given the gravity and urgency of the threat to our constitutional democracy,
members of Congress have a sworn duty to take immediate action to defend the
nation. To date, only a handful have responded to Sen. Feingold's or Rep. Conyers'
call to action.

Fear of political consequences cannot excuse those who are sitting on their
hands. We expect members of our armed services to risk life and limb to support
and defend. Why should we expect less from members of Congress?

Hearing a public figure tell the truth about the criminal surveillance program
should not be a momentous event. Tragically, these days, it is.

Dare I hope you do not remain a lone voice at CNN?

Cheers,

Patty Keeshan

28. I suggest you submit that to all of DU for signatures and then

lets forward it to ALL of the congress critters. Post it stand alone and ask for signatures, you will get them!

Great letter!

edit - typo

[helderheid]

30. I agree! pat_k BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!

:applause:

[pat_k]

56. Do you think I should. . . .

. . .edit to be a letter to members, or seek signers as is and then send to Cafferty as a letter from all amd copy members of Congress (perhaps delivering in person to key members -- it is a relatively short train ride from Westfield).

[Sydnie]

57. I would edit it to be a letter to members and CC it to Cafferty

once we have circulated and signed it. But, that is just what I would do. It is a thing of beauty as written. Delivering it in person, with a prior heads up to CNN couldn't hurt either.

Thank you for doing this. It needs to be said, supported, and said again. :hug:

[pat_k]

59. I'll take a shot at editing to see what I come up with. I'm not sure

. . . whether direct or indirect would be more effective. They've gotten so may direct appeals, they've become pretty skilled at dismissing them -- the wall of rationalization for inaction is a thick one.

Perhaps an indirect message could bypass their knee jerk dismissal and prompt some to pull their heads out of the beltway sphincter for a moment and consider how the people "out there" view them.

BTW, you may be interested in this reply -- as we lobby members to fulfill their oath, we need to be crystal clear about the fact that it is members of Congress, not judges, who are duty-bound to take immediate action.

[annabanana]

32. Great Letter!

The American people have to put the breaks on this criminal enterprise.

[pat_k]

58. . . .and Congress is our voice. Contrary to what. . .

. . .Contrary to what the new American fascists would have us believe, the three branches of Government DO NOT share power equally.

When we established this nation and set forth its constitution, we yielded NONE of our Sovereignty to ANY institution we created, but we did vest more power in Congress -- our voice -- than in the Judiciary or the Executive.

How do we know we gave Congress more power? Simple. We gave Congress the Power to Impeach the President and members of the Judiciary. (The President or the Judiciary Can't Impeach Congress).

Over and over, members of Congress have been derelict in their sworn Constitutional duty by allowing "technical" or "legal" arguments and rationalizations trump reality. In their cowardice, members are looking to the courts to pass judgments that are theirs and theirs alone. They did it when they failed to reject the Florida electors on 1/6/01. They did it when they failed to reject the Ohio electors on 1/6/05. They continue to rationalize their failure to move to impeach by saying "we must wait for the courts to weigh in."

We gave them, not the courts, the duty to stand in judgment of the electors on January 6th, and thus protect us against stolen Presidential elections.

We gave them, not the courts, the duty to protect us against the subversion of our constitutional democracy by our chief executive.

Their judgment of electors or Presidential actions is of necessity not bound by judicial action or the cynical misuse of the courts. If their duty was to apply the letter of the law they would have no role. We would have given the judiciary these duties.

Each them must make their own moral decision grounded in the intent, not the letter, of the law; a decision that upholds the principle of consent.

They are called upon to take action, even if they stand alone. Each member must choose: act to stop the subversion or be complicit in it.

Impeachment IS our positive agenda. What could be more positive than reminding each other:

• that the Constitution is a contract among ourselves;
• that we yielded NONE of our collective sovereignty to ANY institution we established;
• that we gave NO party to the contract the right to usurp or surrender our collective sovereignty.

When high officials in the Executive or Judiciary are subverting the Constitution, our representatives in Congress are sworn to act, whatever the consequences. ("Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum" -- "Let Justice Be Done, Though the Heavens Fall")

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. Holy Crap!

:wow: :woohoo: :bounce: :applause: Thanks for the link!

[Sydnie]

26. Best. Jack. Video. EVER!

I missed it live, but loved the replay I just watched at that link.

"For America, the hope is there. The sun is rising. Our best days are still to come." <-- John Kerry That is what this ruling today reminded me of, so I just HAD to post it.

[Sparkly]

27. K&R

That was awesome!!! :woohoo:

[LadyAziz]

29. Damn!

Mr. Cafferty is right on the money, sadly some Americans will fail to see or hear the truth about what this Administration is doing. But on a high note there is a voice trying to get the truth out.

[high density]

33. great rant

I wish there was a channel where I could get that 24/7.

[rndmprsn]

34. that was one of the most gutsiest and patriotic actions on cabal TV...

that i think ive ever seen, k+r

[stillrockin]

35. Je t'aime, Jacques!!!!

:applause:

[AX10]

36. K and R!

[madokie]

37. My new Hero, Jack Cafferty, singing the prettiest song I have ever heard

in all my 58 years. Finally someone says what needs to be said
K&R

[Guaranteed]

38. DAAAAAAMN!!

He is not happy at all.

[Miss Chybil]

39. Amen, Jack! A-damn-men! nt

[Balderdash]

40. That was beautiful!

CNN pisses me off a lot but there are Cafferty and Dobbs and I must watch them.

k&r

[ClintonTyree]

66. And those guys aren't Democrats either.

Dobbs is a Conservative and Cafferty, in my opinion, leans more toward Libertarianism but has Conservative roots. Neither is in any way, a Democrat. They're two honest men who know when there's something wrong with our government. They don't strictly adhere to Party lines like so many of the other "talking heads" and seek truth and justice rather than power and control. You know, kind of like what a REAL journalist is SUPPOSED to do. Oh, that FAUX News adopted this attitude! There's a snowball's chance in hell of that ever happening.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

41. Grudging "Goddamn."

Boom. Pow. Yard.

[txwhitedove]

42. K&R. I sent a note of thanks to the Cafferty File, too.

"Thank you for saying what should be obvious to all Americans.
Thank you for telling the truth about the 'elected' crooks & liars running
America into the ground. Thank you, Jack! ~jp"

Still watch CNN for the most 'honest' news available on TV.
Don't slam them too hard, cause real TV journalists are doing
the best they can these days. Look what happened to Dan Rather,
and now BushCo is going after New York Times....

[helderheid]

44. hey THANKS! I can't edit at this point but I appreciate you posting this!

[bahrbearian]

45. Wow.

[Mr_Spock]

46. Yowser!

It's heartwarming to hear someone actually speak the truth for a change.

[gordontron]

47. wooooot! nt

[kster]

48. Thank you, Helderheid, CNN gives us ten minutes of Cafferty

and we should all feel better that CNN is getting the story out there, well not so fast CNN we are on to you, this is a much more serious matter than a ten minute soundbite from Cafferty, CNN keep playing the game, but just so you know we are on to you.

Thanks again, Helderheid

[upi402]

49. it takes Republicans to show some fucking balls!!!!!?????????

i want my party back.
next thing ya know, Pat Buchanon will say something that needs to be said.

[Greylyn58]

50. I saw this live yesterday

and was :applause: and screaming YES at the TV. It was so good to see someone...anyone finally speak the truth about this.

Right On Jack!!!!!

[Pacifist Patriot]

51. Wow! About time someone in the media said that.

[seemslikeadream]

52. I love you Jack

53. Artificial Intelligance; When the real thing just won't do.

The lawsuit alleged that the NSA "uses artificial intelligence aids to search for keywords and analyze patterns in millions of communications at any given time." Multiple lawsuits have been filed related to data-mining against phone companies, accusing them of improperly turning over records to the NSA.

[wryter2000]

54. At least someone in the "news" media noticed

I saw threads here yesterday afternoon that the ruling wasn't being covered at all! As I'm on the left coast, I got home later and turned on the CBS Evening News. No reporting on this story at all. Not even a mention in passing. They did cover JBR, of course. To their credit, they had some decent reporting on Iraq. But they also had pieces on sun screens and on using pigeons to detect smog in LA.

They're going to hear from me today. I believe their e-mail is [e-mail]. Sheeze, and Couric doesn't even get there for another couple of weeks.

:mad:

[kenfrequed]

55. Alright!!

It's great that someone in the mainstream media is saying what needs to be said about this administration. They are criminals.

[halobeam]

60. I'm kicking for anyone who might have missed this.

It should be shared.

[Laurab]

62. K & R - Got right to the point

how can anyone argue with that? "The President has violated his oath of office". Of course it's not the first time, but it's about time someone SAID it - not that the pResident cares, but maybe it will wake some people up.

[manchild]

63. check it out

This is so good

[geardaddy]

64. Beeeeautiful! eom

[ktowntennesseedem]

65. He didn't really violate the constitution. He just misunderstood...

When the Chief Justice asked if he would "preserve, protect and defend" the constitution, Dubya thought he said "disturb, dissect and append."
