YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! Now I remember why am hooked on this show. Randi is bringing it today!!!

I concur. Randi kick major GOP group think asses in that last segment.

She is on fire. She is expressing our anger. I think I really see a change coming in the next few days.

this "sexual education" ad is really sick - these guys are such bastards -

Amen!!!!!!! Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant!!!!!!as usual loved what you had to say... Your comments on health care/insurance...right on!!!! I fought with healthnet insurance crooks for over a year to get claims paid, of course they demanded their premium on time... It took me filing a complaint with Government run Deptment of insurance in California to finally get my claims paid... So I take government run health insurance over the shit we have now...any day of the week...
thank you thank you, for what you do....

Congratulations on getting your memory back, Varrooom.

Yeah, and the sickest part is the fact that there are people out there that will believe it. Randi can say that no one will believe it, but that's wrong.

back on the team

Even the locked up trying to be reformed, sexual predators will know this to be sick and twisted. So what does that make these Republicans?

Lower than the low.

I agree, she was at her finest in this last hour. When she was telling the story of her sister, I started crying. Never heard that before. She's absolutely right about health care and pre-condition illness. I've got a friend who can't get health insurance because of her heart condition. It's scary. McCain doesn't have a plan for that.

It was a great show. If anyone missed it, I definitely recommend getting the podcast.

Everytime I hear that story about her sister, it breaks my heart.

I HEAR in Randi's voice, what I've been FEELING for months:

We will prevail because our RAGE is more powerful than their FEAR!

Boots on the Ground, Registering Voters!

Shout THE TRUTH from the rooftops!

REVOLUTION IS AT HAND!

CONSTANT VIGILANCE.

NO COMPLACENCY.

OVERWHELMING VICTORY.


and just for laughs...

I think our momentum is coming back from Huff Post today listing all of these new outlets that are calling them out. Jeff Farias right now on his show.

Palin, the other White Meat

Brother David...whenever I see your posts, with those pics of Obama at Mile High, I tear up....seriously....magnificent!

Ohhh fire fire make you go higher!!!

Yeah!! Randi brought the WOOD today!!!!!!!!!!

he's going to do it. the electrifying energy of we the people will help him be the 44th president of our United States.

I don't know about anyone else but that moment in Denver when he looked into the camera and said, ENOUGH, that was the moment.

That one word, summed up all that I have been feeling for so long.

I know I have had more than enough.


We are going to win.

seriously she was soooooooo good today!! amazing! i wish randi had a web cam so we could watch it too.

Spoiled white meat.

Bingo!

Echoing the "BADASS" sentiment of today's show...just great. You certainly felt the energy...

Oh, and rememberearth, I just have to say, nonsequetorially speaking, I loooooooove Boondock Saints

xoxox

I never heard the story of her father in the foxhole before! A chill went through me & all I could think was..DAMN I'm glad your dad was asleep when the Nazis attacked otherwise you would have never been born, Randi!!!!

Randi really was good today! She made my three hour drive today just fly by.

cool thanks!
is that a pic of you with Tom Waits???????

DEM

Heh, I wish- I'm a chick...that's Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones with Waits- my two future husbands Willem Dafoe can be the third.

xoxox

yeah, my line up for future exes;
henry rollins, lewis black
heh

well richards looks like a young blonde chick, sorry.

I thought that was a younger Keith Richards or maybe the picture is to small to tell!!

see i'm a dolt who needs a new rx for her glasses.

Aww, don't be silly. Atchally that pic is pretty recent...within the last 5 years. I'm trying to find a bigger copy online but I can't right now...Also, Keith's shirt says "Hand tighten only".
xoxox

Hey I'm 54 & that pic is too small for my eyes!!!

I'm glad everybody beat me to this post. What a great show. Her power and her raw emotion are amazing. I was very near tears while listening to this show. Welcome Back Lady!!!!!

We've also got to give big props to the boys that work with her.

More shows like this one!

Can anybody post what Randi was reading from at the beginning of the 5PM hour yesterday (9/10)?

She was talking about the ravages of right wing rule on small towns across America.

I missed the beginning and didn't hear her cite it at the end.

Thanks,
Matt

I came back to ask the same question. I thought it was a piece by Thomas Frank. I'm assuming its a column in the WSJ. Looking now, if I find it I'll post it up here since I didn't find it in yesterday's homework list.

The GOP Loves the Heartland To Death

THOMAS FRANK
Wall Street Journal

September 10, 2008

It tells us something about Sarah Palin's homage to small-town America, delivered to an enthusiastic GOP convention last week, that she chose to fire it up with an unsourced quotation from the all-time champion of fake populism, the belligerent right-wing columnist Westbrook Pegler.

"We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty and sincerity and dignity," the vice-presidential candidate said, quoting an anonymous "writer," which is to say, Pegler, who must have penned that mellifluous line when not writing his more controversial stuff. As the New York Times pointed out in its obituary of him in 1969, Pegler once lamented that a would-be assassin "hit the wrong man" when gunning for Franklin Roosevelt.

There's no evidence that Mrs. Palin shares the trademark Pegler bloodlust -- except maybe when it comes to moose and wolves. Nevertheless, the red-state myth that Mrs. Palin reiterated for her adoring audience owes far more to the venomous spirit of Pegler than it does to Norman Rockwell.

Small town people, Mrs. Palin went on, are "the ones who do some of the hardest work in America, who grow our food and run our factories and fight our wars." They are authentic; they are noble, and they are her own: "I grew up with those people."

But what really defines them in Mrs. Palin's telling is their enemies, the people who supposedly "look down" on them. The opposite of the heartland is the loathsome array of snobs and fakers, "reporters and commentators," lobbyists and others who make up "the Washington elite."

Presumably the various elite Washington lobbyists who have guided John McCain's presidential campaign were exempt from Mrs. Palin's criticism. As would be former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, now a "senior adviser" to the Dickstein Shapiro lobby firm, who hymned the "Sarah Palin part of the party" thus: "Their kids aren't going to go to Ivy League schools. Their sons leave high school and join the military to serve our country. Their husbands and wives work two jobs to make sure the family is sustained."

Generally speaking, though, when husbands and wives work two jobs each it is not merely because they are virtuous but because working one job doesn't earn them enough to get by. The two-job workers in Middle America aren't spurning the Ivy League and joining the military straight out of high school just because they're people of principle, although many of them are. It is because they can't afford to do otherwise.

Leave the fantasy land of convention rhetoric, and you will find that small-town America, this legendary place of honesty and sincerity and dignity, is not doing very well. If you drive west from Kansas City, Mo., you will find towns where Main Street is largely boarded up. You will see closed schools and hospitals. You will hear about depleted groundwater and massive depopulation.

And eventually you will ask yourself, how did this happen? Did Hollywood do this? Was it those "reporters and commentators" with their fancy college degrees who wrecked Main Street, U.S.A.?

No. For decades now we have been electing people like Sarah Palin who claimed to love and respect the folksy conservatism of small towns, and yet who have unfailingly enacted laws to aid the small town's mortal enemies.

Without raising an antitrust finger they have permitted fantastic concentration in the various industries that buy the farmer's crops. They have undone the New Deal system of agricultural price supports in favor of schemes called "Freedom to Farm" and loan deficiency payments -- each reform apparently designed to secure just one thing out of small town America: cheap commodities for the big food processors. Richard Nixon's Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz put the conservative attitude toward small farmers most bluntly back in the 1970s when he warned, "Get big or get out."

A few days ago I talked politics with Donn Teske, the president of the Kansas Farmers Union and a former Republican. Barack Obama may come from a big city, he admits, but the Farmers Union gives him a 100% rating for his votes in Congress. John McCain gets a 0%. "If any farmer in the Plains States looked at McCain's voting record on ag issues," Mr. Teske says, "no one would vote for him."

Now, Mr. McCain is known for his straight talk with industrial workers, telling them their jobs are never coming back, that the almighty market took them away for good, and that retraining is their only hope.

But he seems to think that small-town people can be easily played. Just choose a running mate who knows how to skin a moose and all will be forgiven. Drive them off the land, shutter their towns, toss their life chances into the grinders of big agriculture . . . and praise their values. The TV eminences will coo in appreciation of your in-touch authenticity, and the carnival will move on.

I never left "your side" I was just on the "other half" of your side.

This is the mark of true patriotism. To be able to lose, so to speak, but still win by looking at the bigger picture.

"Good to have you amongst us"









and by lose simply mean hillary didnt get nom

And that is the essense of being a patriot and caring for not only the nation as a whole, but caring for each individual who makes up that whole.

Sometimes you gotta smack some of us upside the head with logic though....

Yeeeaaaaa Suki One of us.... United States.
