Conflucians Say: Katiebird takes the Wheel

Posted on October 28, 2008 by riverdaughter

Join Katiebird tonight on Conflucians Say on PUMA United Radio.  Are you pondering what she’s pondering?  How does it feel to have to “decide” — is it hard?  Are you still thinking about the choices.  What is important to your decision?  Call in.  We don’t bite– hard.

That’s tonight at 10PM EST on PURrrr.

    any lawyers in the house? I watched a little bit of KO (and now I want to gag) and they are blatantly LYING now. No doubt about it.. LIES. Some woman was saying that Palin hasn’t asked for Stevens to step down (as a matter of fact, she did this morning). She also accused Palin of being part of the Oil group in Alaska that is corrupt (when in fact, she resigned from her oil post out of protest for the corruption, and as governor she went after them)..

    I am sick. How can they get away with this. Any lawyers here? Is outright lying on TV a criminal act, or can it only be addressed through civil court… or can it not be addressed at all? I can’t imagine that Freedom of Speech can be stretched this far.

  13. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 10:36 pm said:

    BPD — unfortunately outright lying is not a criminal act — especially about a politician — it isn’t even a civil action unless you can prove malice. The most the McCain/Palin can do is demand a retraction & hopefully get enough “traction” in the media with the demand to force CNN to act on it. Maybe you should email Greta about this — she has a whole “keeping CNN honest” about the big lie they pulled on Palin re: the quote from The National Review. She might be willing to call them out on it.

    ohhhh… and in case anyone out there still places credibility in the polls…. anyone see the WMUR/UNH poll for New Hampshire that was released today? It shows Obama +25 and that’s not a typo… TWENTY FIVE.

    I mean, when do we reach the limits of reality? Seriously… some person or persons looked over the poll results before they released them…. and that person(s) said yeah…. this looks credible…

    Apparently, BPD, the definitions of slander and libel are being rewritten in front of our eyes. Both will henceforth be a problem if, and only if, The One gets his his tender toes stepped on or his massive ego dented. It will be open season on anyone who gets in His way. What am I saying? It already is.

    Sorry if this has been discussed previously. Just checking in tonight.

    Is anyone else worried about the impact of NObama’s 30 minute infomercial? He’s supposed to lay out his economic plan. I worry that he’ll do his usual speechifying that some people seem to swoon over so much. It’s just too close to election day for me to feel comfortable with it.

    Increase is to 30% in Capital Gains!

    it would be great to have the pundits on after the infomercial to discuss if BO won or lost the infomercial.

    but that won’t happen. anyone wanna bet that the pundits do have time to comment on it, perhaps immediately after it?

  29. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 10:57 pm said:

    30% capital gains tax increase? that is sure to encourage people to invest in the market! /s

    Has anyone here been the victim (I mean that!) of the new moveon video e-mail that names you – specifically, your real name – as THE culprit who causes BO to lose because they didn’t vote?

    I just got one and am horrified. It uses my real name in multiple ways – as the headline on a newspaper, as graffitti saying “My real name” = loser.

    I assumed it was meant to be funny, but in this rabidly vicious environment, I am not laughing.

    When McCain wins, the Market will go back up. Thank God. My 401 has to roll over in about 2 weeks. I need it to make up 30% to be even.

  51. angienc, on October 28, 2008 at 11:12 pm said:

    fuzzy — sorry, it is the other way around — the Plaintiff or offended party (here — Palin) would have to prove malice the msm doesn’t have to prove there was no malice. That is always the case — the Plaintiff has to prove all the elements of the charge against the Defendant — while the Defendant can put on a defense, s/he doesn’t have to. (same goes in criminal cases btw, the only difference is standard of proof — in civil case a preponderance of the evidence (ie, more then 50%); in criminal case beyond a reasonable doubt (99.9%).

    It’s someone who’s posted an incomprehensible message (twice) in all CAPS — I finally told him why I was deleting his messages. (I actually have no idea of the message was from a boy or girl)

    I really wonder who the hell KO is going to rant at and blame everything on if Obama wins and the Dems have a vast majority in Congress….. He’ll do a worst persons on Oreilly, Hannity, and Rush… and that’s about it…. a nice 2 minute show, crumple up some paper and call it quits.

    yes fuzzy — they would have to prove malice, which, btw only applies to public figures — now, I don’t know if Tweety & KO’s actually qualify as “public figures” because they’re ratings are so low. hee, hee.

    Yes, unfortunately I got it. I did what I do with all Obot-related materials. Hit the delete button immediately. The friend who sent it is fighting cancer, so I didn’t respond by telling her how much I loathe him. Good people have been bamboozled.

    dean, donna and the dnc sounds like a love story gone bad. they should have used protection!

    anyway, i don’t need to choose…i get to pick who i’m for. this year, unlike with kerry and gore, i don’t need to hold my nose and vote for the dem, because, afterall, that’s what all good unthinking dems do.

    afrocity — at the Ace of Spades HQ “Ace” had a post up today which he took down & said he was told not to talk about it yet because there was still some verifying to be done, but whatever it was would be coming out soon. I, unfortunately, don’t go there enough to know what that post was about, but I’m optomistic as others there who had seen it (but who were not giving details per Ace) said it was good.

    pm317: this has me smiling, thx

    But that faith was dashed when I saw that someone had raided the Caligula set and planted the old columns at Invesco Field.

    wow, i think the only reference that might actually be worse than Hitler for one’s political identity, could be Caligula

    I would say see women can do anything look at President Hillary Clinton….Speaker Darrgh Murphy and Majority leader RD and Majority whip Katie bird and Chairman of the finance committe Dakinikat….I knew them when!

    I am not corrupt enough to run for political office in Chicago. Unlike my senator, I would actually give a damn that my city boasted 432 murder for the year.

    rd lol.
    I was thinking that we cannot disengage ourselves from repubs after the election. Voter reform would have to be bipartisan. Especially in the effort to kill caucuses, I think both sides would have to work together. There are probably other issues in which PUMAs would need help in a bipartisan fashion.

    the democratic party could kill the caucuses by stripping the delegates from any state that did not switch to a primary system….

    The DNC then could have a RBC meeting on May 31st and award them to the highest primary vote getter…regardless of how those states caucused…they have a set a precident with this years nomination process!~

    with the DNC platform already set for a rerun of caucuses in 2012, it seems like outside influence might be helpful. Especially if it could be shown there is something fundamentally wrong. If dems have house, senate and president, how will change occur?
