I came down to san diego yesterday, where there is no progressive radio station by the way, then on my arrival I started getting barraged by my republican family and family friends. They were hitting me with everything from Democrats ruining the economy, extreme leftists committing voter fraud, barack being a terrorist lover... they even told me that jimmy carter was responsible for the current economy... I, of course, said that was nonsense, it is like saying that william mckiley is responsible for the great depression...
I was trying my best to fend off all these attacks and give them actual knowledge and facts. But as usual, they don't listen, they only spew.
So I was feeling all alone down here, and thank god, or whoever, that she is online!!
thanks for making my day a better
love u randi

It lays out a good explanation of the huge role of Wall Street in all of this. These people have power through money, and are shaping the message to the RW minions. How much have you heard about Wall Street of late? Mostly just Acorn, Fannie & Freddie, Carter, Clinton, Barney Frank, etc. Conveniently, those who have absconded with the $ are no where to be found this week in the blame game. Not a coincidence; it is a propaganda campaign, to shape the 'conventional wisdom' of the masses. Then stand back, and watch the class warfare as those at mid class and lower eat their own. Fight back with truth!

she has a way of doing that you know, love her so much.
don't be discouraged as you planted a few seeds of fact and knowledge today.
the fam and friends may actually think about who you are, holding your own, and the facts you supplied them with, and on election day when its just them and the button/lever, they may have a change of heart.
keep plugging, that's all we can do.
Namaste.

Yep. I have written ad nauseum about Foreclosure Phil Gramm on the General Discussion page over the past several months. This is an excellent article that lays it out succinctly: link

Randi Rhodes is our shepherd; we shall not want.
She maketh us see through their bullshit:
She leadeth us with words of reason.
She restoreth our souls, daily.
She leadeth us in the path of righteous indignation, for Christ's sake!
Yea, though we have walked through the valley of the shadow of NeoCons,
We have not feared their evil:
For she art with us,
Her wit and wisdom, they comfort us.
She preparest a show in the presence of McCain and Palin;
Their heads anointed by oil companies;
Their Swiss bank accounts runneth over.
Surely Progressives and Liberals shall lead us all of the days of our lives,
And we all will dwell in the White House of Obama for the next 8 years.
