Love it!

21. M$RNC

Good one. Their bias is undeniable at this point. They are massaging the masses with a bogus "liberal" message to get them "ready" for austerity. Not if we can help it.

[midnight]

20. This is difficult to watch... Fortunately, Congresswomen Jackson

was able to inject some balance into this hearing by asking that this investigation extend to right wing extremists....

[crazyjoe]

22. Calling King an asshole is an understatement. But.....

I was not as excited as some when keith landed over there at "CurrentTV". Let's face it, most people have never even heard of that channel. In Keith we had a "voice", someone in MSM that spoke for us, that told people how we thought and felt about different issues. IN PRIME TIME !!! If keith has any hope of having a show on a legitimate channel, where he has millions of viewers, and can make a difference, I don't think calling a member of the House an asshole is helpful.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but the smarter more mature members of DU will agree with me. Sometimes we need to look at the bigger picture, not just the immediate gratification.

[xxqqqzme]

23. Occasionally we do need a 'bigger picture' but

sometimes an asshole is just that - an asshole!

[crazyjoe]

32. agreed, I would like to see keith get more exposure, that's all.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

27. Why the quotes around CurrentTV? It's the channel's name.

[crazyjoe]

31. uh, I don't know, I guess it looked right to me. Is that all you got out

of my post? Are you offended by my improperly placed quotes?
Sorry, I'll try harder.

[AlbertCat]

29. having a show on a legitimate channel,

It IS a legit channel.

And he may be the one to get people to notice it. About the only service you cannot get it on is Charter.

Remember Logo was an unknown channel. (Ru Paul's Drag Race , anyone?) So was Link TV. But a lot of folks I know watch both now.

[crazyjoe]

30. really? because i never heard of either one of them. Your making my point.
