1. is that the ufo guy?

i think i saw him on bill o'reilly.

[glen123098]

2. Why do you watch Bill O'reilly?

[seeinfweggos]

4. to hear what DK has to say, of course

[rudy23]

35. I'm alerting you. nt

This horseshit against Kucinich is ridiculous.

[liberation]

52. Didn't Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton also appear on Bill O's hour of fun and games?

I am asking you, since I don't watch that show. Maybe you can let us know as an avid Bill O watcher...

LOL

[Mind_your_head]

5. Ugly....very very ugly comment

:thumbsdown:

[seeinfweggos]

7. saying i saw him on o'reilly is ugly?

only comment i made.

[Mind_your_head]

39. you called him the "ufo" guy. THAT's the 'ugly' part. You LIE

when you say, "I saw him on o'reilly" (as IF that's the only thing you said!)

Your whole original post is:

56. Is it now

"ugly" to tell the truth? Calling someone a liar for mentioning an inconvenient truth seems more "ugly" to me.

The fact that DK believes that he saw a UFO does not make him a bad person, except possibly in the minds of his over-protective fan club:

58. Childish games are often just what they seem

the games of a child's mind; A child's mind is usually ignorant of many things and has only games to play.

[slipslidingaway]

8. self delete nt

[seeinfweggos]

9. this forum's just fine, but thanks for the suggestion

[winyanstaz]

27. Just so you know silly....ufo doent automatically mean men from mars...

It means ANY thing you cannot identify.
When people claim he was claiming to see a flying saucer, it only reveals their ignorance of what ufo means.
You need to come up with a better reason to hate the guy.

[rudy23]

34. Hey, thanks for proving my point about the orchestrated talking points about DK

If anybody want to check my journals, they've been at this since July.

[debbierlus]

49. They can't handle truth, so they want to tear down the man who has the balls to speak it

[liberation]

53. I guess it is easier to shut down the messenger when they know they can't tackle his message

or at least they can't do so in a remotely intellectually honest way. Ergo the whole passive aggressive snark we see being flung from the "hope and change" brigade.

[flyarm]

62. oh the list is getting so long now of who they are trying to discredit..

please feel free to add to the list..

just the past two weeks..

Helen Thomas

Matt Taibbi

J.Turley

David Swanson

and of course they threw Dennis under the bus long AGO..

ANYONE WITH TRUTH..IS THROWN UNDER THE BUS BY THE POM POM TROOPS!

[flvegan]

40. Are you the idiot guy?

[Mithreal]

42. Keep using rightwinger methods to argue and people will begin to wonder

[Enthusiast]

43. The UFO guy?

Let me rephrase that. Why would you characterize Dennis is such a fashion? This makes me angry.

[debbierlus]

48. Dennis Kucinich is the best politician we have...

Did you even listen to his speech?

More brilliance in that one minute then Obama has shown in his entire Presidency.

[mcablue]

57. Was he delivering left-wing or right-wing opinion in the O'reilly interview?

Or you don't remember?

[LakeSamish706]

3. As usual Dennis tells it like it is... I would dare anyone to tell me that what he just said

is untrue. Both Afghanistan and Iraq are not just wars and never were. Oh, and lets get the F*** out of both countries ASAP.

[stray cat]

6. He didn't say all wars are wrong and war is never the answer- what a war monger

:sarcasm:

[ProgressOnTheMove]

10. Always speaking the truth as it should be told, Kucinich will deserve large place in the...

enlightened history books.

[LakeSamish706]

11. Sure wish we could get this guy elected... Now this is the President

that we need to have out there fighting for the middle class.

[slipslidingaway]

13. Agreed, he would not have silenced not for profit advocates. n/t

[seeinfweggos]

14. nobody seems to want to vote for him

he probably won't even be in congress after the next primary.

[LakeSamish706]

15. And that would be our loss actually.... Dennis always tells it like it is.

According to the last several polls on DU, many seem to like Dennis well enough.

[seeinfweggos]

16. maybe we could get a dem who doesn't vote the same as boener on health care

and there are no polls on du. those are called polls but they are not statistical representations of jack shit.

[LakeSamish706]

18. They were polls by DU'ers saying how they felt about Dennis...

I don't give a rats ass about your statistical representations or your jack shit. Many on DU happen to think very highly of Dennis, and of course I am one of them.

[seeinfweggos]

19. again, those aren't polls

any more than monopoly money is money

[LakeSamish706]

20. Whatever! Whatever you wish to call them... Dennis is well thought of here for his honesty. n/t

[swilton]

46. +1

[ooglymoogly]

59. Your posts are so odd I have to ask

Tell us what benefits you get from supporting the insurance industry and their supporters, for denigrating Dennis, their fiercest and most vocal adversary and advocate of meaningful healthcare reform.

[slipslidingaway]

17. Unfortunately people are too influenced by the corporate media and are...

uncomfortable when someone speaks the truth.

While most were cheering on the night of the Iraq invasion, Kucinich commented that he was thinking of all the innocent people whose homes were being bombed. After the bombs stopped in Lebanon he was one of the only, if not the only, member of Congress to visit the region.

If nothing else he at least makes us think about what we are doing to people in other countries - not such a bad thing IMO.

[seeinfweggos]

22. i can't think of another politician with such little popular support that gets as much media attenti...

except maybe ron paul, his would-be running mate. hell fux has him on all the time. i wonder why.

[slipslidingaway]

23. There should be another bash Kucinich thread you can post in. n/t

[seeinfweggos]

25. i like this one

and never end a sentence in a preposition - says the girl who doesn't use capital letters. :-)

[slipslidingaway]

30. Then keep posting here and kick the thread - a big thanks! n/t

[seeinfweggos]

38. kick

merry festivus

[winyanstaz]

28. Sheep dont want to vote for him...republicans don't want to vote for him...

Thinking people do.
We just need to get more people to think for themselves.

[lyonspotter]

26. Amazing statements!!!

Thankfully we have a Kucinich to speak sense in a very tumultuous time...

[winyanstaz]

29. We would be looking at a much better future if he were president...

that's for sure.

[lyonspotter]

31. If only... (NT)

[DutchLiberal]

67. Yes! And the people in his cabinet should include:

Russ Feingold, Sheldon Whitehouse, Robert Wexler, Maxine Waters, Barbare Boxer and, of course, Bernie Sanders.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

12. I wish he were my Rep

not the New Democratic Party slimeball I have now.

[slipslidingaway]

24. Me too, mine have been all Repubs :( n/t

[chill_wind]

21. K & R. n/t

[shadowknows69]

32. That's my man DK!!!

[madrchsod]

33. the dlc must be still hiring

[shadowknows69]

36. No doubt, but they keep hiring all these guys named Iggy.

What're the odds?

[rudy23]

37. Yep. Look at my journals. nt

[sheldon]

41. Dennis rocks. Rightards fear him because he speaks the truth.

[gadjitfreek]

44. If only I lived in a country where...

...a man like Dennis Kucinich could be President. He has the integrity, determination, clear thinking and attitude that we so desperately need in all of our leaders. Including, sorry to say, the current President.

[midnight]

45. Dennis is right about making an argument against a mentality that says "War is Peace. "

[90-percent]

47. Good news bad news

The bad news is the UFO smear of Dennis is alive and well. Given the stats on how many people have seen UFO's in the USA - his revelations are downright commonplace. We all know people in our lives that claim to have seen UFO's, or have seen them first hand themselves.

The good news is that the sinister forces behind our government and military industrial congressional complex have not seen fit to WELLSTONE Dennis yet.

However, that may just prove they're letting Dennis live only because he makes a good punching bag for them and is worth more to them alive than dead, for the moment.

-90% Jimmy

[shadowknows69]

50. Might be on to something. They don't want another martyr like Wellstone. Yet.

Alive and marginalized is working just fine for them. When you finally control 90% of the media, then assassination becomes less necessary.

[shadowknows69]

51. Grayson/Kucinich in 2012. There. I said it.

[David Zephyr]

54. Thanks for the video, slipslidingaway.

K&R.

[earcandle]

55. Thanks Dennis! Here is another song for you!

Sheepdogs

[OutNow]

60. Thanks for the video - DK rocks

I had the honor of hearing Dennis speak at a fund raiser / concert in Austin in 2004 hosted by Willie Nelson. I wish everyone that bashes him would have the opportunity to listen to him talk for 10 or 15 minutes, not just the 1 minute video sound bites we often see.

Yes I supported Obama in 2008 and plan on doing the same in 2012, but the Democratic Party can have multiple leaders and Dennis is an excellent example.

[ProSense]

61. Wow! "NOT ALL WARS ARE JUST! SOME ARE JUST WAR! "

Kucinich's statement indicates that he agrees with Obama: that some, "not all," wars are just.

[ljm2002]

63. Keep telling it, Dennis!

You speak for me!

[tnlefty]

64. Thanks for posting!

:kick:

[Holy Moly]

65. Cept when the president does it, then it is not unjust

So not all wars are just.
Just some wars are just,
Like when piece loving Amerikaka does it.
Then, and only then, is war not unjust...
Cept, of course, for God's chosen people,
then war is likewise never unjust,
cause God is always on their side, too.
For though we may not always be right,
we are never wrong.
But everyone knows that..
At least everyone who's anyone knows that.
Cept mebbe for a few illegal native American indians
or a few vestigial native Palestinian Palestinians
or a few ungrateful native Iraqi Iraqis
or a few stubborn native AfPak warlords
sob
