OMG on C-SPAN right now there was a quite telling moment

[The Witch]

Don't know who it is reading a commondreams.org article about the Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal and wants to put it in the record-- they told her to suspend and she is reminded not to refer to Vice President personally.

"You're not telling me I can't say the name of the Vice President"--

"I'm sure the LAST thing you want to do is infringe on the right of a person to speak!"

Now reading from "War Is a Racket"

[Coexist]

1. that is McKinney

she was reading an article, not attacking personally.

Now she is reading from "War is a Racket"

She is wonderful today!

[Oceansaway]

2. yeah, shes awesome !!

[stop the bleeding]

3. sounds good let us know what else she says

thank you!

[The Witch]

5. "They're telling us we need to prepare for a long war?"

"We do not need to prepare for George Bush's long war.
And if Thom Hartmann is correct :wow:
We do not need to prepare for Cheney's war either."

Bringing up Murtha now.

[burythehatchet]

6. Read excerpts from, and recommended that everyone

read Smedley Butler's book War is a Racket.

Made indirect refernce to Bush family by talking about war profiteers.

4. One of the few Reps, MY Rep, who is part of

an opposition party. She is painted as a radical while she is actually a liberal DEmocrat.

[burythehatchet]

7. I was put out of Congress because I spoke up

about 9/11. But the people put me back.

[The Witch]

9. UNBELIEVABLE did she dispute the story of 911?

:wow: :wow: :wow:

[burythehatchet]

14. Not only that, she did it right after 9/11

the DEmocrats went after her with both barrels, led by Zell Miller, and got another candidate to beat her in the primary. Her opposition was funded by the Atlanta Jewish community, Democrats, and Republo-fascists

[LeftNYC]

8. McKinney is going off...I love it! nt

[Cassandra]

10. I posted that a day or two ago.

Thom Hartmann has done some good research into the Cheney-Rumsfeld pathology.

[unblock]

11. i don't understand why a representative can't refer to the veep personally

i can understand if the SENATE had that rule, because the veep is the president of the senate, but i don't understand why the house has that sort of a rule.

[wtmusic]

15. They refer to each other personally all the time

apparently you just can't say anything BAD about each other. :silly:

[cyberpj]

12. where? I don't see it on cspan1 or 2... nt

[The Witch]

13. next guy up is saying it's "more fiction than fact"

"What is with the tone in Washington?" he hears from his coincidence.

I hope McKinney gets up and tells him it's because PEOPLE ARE DYING you asshole.

[peacetalksforall]

16. Just went to commondreams - which article is it? Anyone? bt

[Norquist Nemesis]

17. Thom Hartmann

[donheld]
