1. How did I know they were gonna have Rachel on for this

Damn she is great! Too bad she plays for the other team :loveya:

[rucky]

2. I've never seen her before.

I love her on the radio. She definitely needs to be on the TeeVee more often. easy on the eyes and the ears.

[jgraz]

3. Go look up her Campaign Asylum vids on youtube

They are fantastic.

[The M Double]

12. Rachel?

Talk about easy on the eyes..... ALISON STEWART!


& nice post Hissyspit. Unfortunately people need to be reminded.

[dipsydoodle]

7. I'd wondered if that might be so

Never mind - KD Lang is good singer too. That's her affair not ours. I notice you say "plays for the the other team" whereas we say "bats for the other side"

[jgraz]

11. You wondered???

Lol She's about as out as someone can get. Allison even introduced her on-air as "our own Gay Bomb" for one segment. :rofl:

[mrbluto]

15. Haircuts, cleavage & "which team".

Great.

A commentator from our side (i.e. factville, capitol of the state of Sanity) with something to say gets on national TV and half the posts here are about how "Hot" she is and "Which team she plays for".

Does it bug you when the media digresses from substantive issues with bits about Edwards' haircut or Hillary's cleavage?

Then why engage in the same sort of time-wasting disrespect here?

Perhaps you're sincere where Faux & CNN are merely looking to talk about anything other than the issues, but it's time to have a bit of discipline, be adult and ask yourself "Is what I'm about to post on subject?"

4. Rachel comes across as intelligent and articulate

of course it helps to have the host not screaming at her and talking over her, as so often happens when you get the usual conservative blowhards - I can't stand to watch that crap!

[djjimz]

5. Oh how proud he must be...

to have those cheering throngs...
:puke:
Seriously, that does make me want to puke.

[SlingBlade]

6. FASCISM IN ACTION

This is how our taxes are spent. CURBING FREE SPEECH

BASTARD REPUBLICANS, GOD I HATE EVERY LAST ONE OF EM.

[GMFORD]

16. Second that.

eom

When President Bush travels around the United States, the Secret Service visits the location ahead of time and orders local police to set up "free speech zones" or "protest zones," where people opposed to Bush policies (and sometimes sign-carrying supporters) are quarantined. These zones routinely succeed in keeping protesters out of presidential sight and outside the view of media covering the event.
When Bush went to the Pittsburgh area on Labor Day 2002, 65-year-old retired steel worker Bill Neel was there to greet him with a sign proclaiming, "The Bush family must surely love the poor, they made so many of us."

The local police, at the Secret Service's behest, set up a "designated free-speech zone" on a baseball field surrounded by a chain-link fence a third of a mile from the location of Bush's speech.

The police cleared the path of the motorcade of all critical signs, but folks with pro-Bush signs were permitted to line the president's path. Neel refused to go to the designated area and was arrested for disorderly conduct; the police also confiscated his sign.

Neel later commented, "As far as I'm concerned, the whole country is a free-speech zone. If the Bush administration has its way, anyone who criticizes them will be out of sight and out of mind."

9. this is sickening, again they are shielding boy-king from the

truth and do not want to burst his bubble, have you ever heard of such, before this dictator abusively came onto the scene.

13. Rachel is One Sexy Babe....

i'd protest with her anytime, anywhere.

love that lipgloss action, Ms. Maddow.

are you married?

if not, wanna get married?

[jgraz]

14. Sorry, she's got a very cool, totally committed spouse

Too bad for us guys as well. :cry:

[Sam Ervin jret]

17. Books from Bush, Tanks on Tienemen (sp?) they attempt to do the same thing

Shut us up, stop dissent, keep order at the cost of liberty, it may be working in both places to well. But the times they are 'achanging, Wake up people before it's too late!

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. Of all the evil the Wregime has perpetrated

it's this that most inspires my ire.

There's a reason Americans' right to express our opinion was granted in the First Amendment to our Constitution — it's the most important right we have. Any dictator would tell you the first step in eliminating an opponent is to silence him, one way or another.

Yet, here's the executive division of our elected (yeah, well...) government, not only denying us that First Amendment right, but employing a coordinated, pre-emptive plan to do so.

Can someone tell me why that alone isn't grounds for impeachment?

And, to top it off, I've never heard a reporter ask anyone in the Wregime why this is done. It's such a basic question, too.
