Amy Goodman: How Democracy Now! Started

[brahmbhattbhavna]

genetic freak, parasitic money whore, childless know nothing, elitist bitch, ugly cracker, washed-up old maid

[brahmbhattbhavna]

amy goodman is a whore

[rachelgolem]

Amy Goodman didn't go to Egypt because she was afraid Far Rosen would make fun of her if she got raped.

[jazzmanbop]

Amy Goodman is a schill.Working for the Soros,Rockefeller,rothchild,et al nwo gang that fund Pacifica,own the fed,controlm the U.N. the army(nato),control most of thye food production,the media etc.There are certain things she won,t talk about e.g.tower # seven.She is containing dissent just like Maude Barlow. It is an illution of free speach.

[shipmaker14]

@jazzmanbop You are an idiot.

[chucky8787]

Amy Goodman is a shill

[TheJomogogo]

Amy Goodman started Democracy Now because she was hated and despised by everyone that had to work with her and she got fired.

[tappakeggaday1]

i mean if you remember old black and white tv shows people would tell a police officer I am a tax payer and i have my rights.my own personal view?vote everyone out.focus on America and lower cost and return to some of what we take for granted like actually being able to grow your own food.

[tappakeggaday1]

I am not jewish,nor a jew,was born here in nw florida.got a ged in 1983.not that smart nor bright.but when anyone says "jew"to single out one sect of people it automatically makes me think your poster child for your argument is eric cartman.what we need is a return to old fashioned values in our country and people who are willing to take a stand and stand up for our rights.not sugar coat anything because it's bad for business.

[perazh]

I hope this channel be used as trial for more and more new freedome movements on Media

Can we see a Media free from Zionist Media dominance?

[Corporations8MyBaby]

What does the right wing govt. of Israel have to do with our media? Try to site something factual... something other than your suspicions.

[perazh]

Watch a video called Zionist mass media

watch?v=Fno1OiHk7eY

Then you understand who owns CNN/FOX/SKY/CBC/CBN/ NBC/SBC,,,,,

They are owned by the same people who own Banks, Governments, Weapon Industry, Drug/Alcohol Industry, ,,,

[Corporations8MyBaby]

Oh right, a YouTube video is reliable proof of this nearly insane claim Sure. Right. But otherwise it's a really well kept secret right? I mean... YouTube is gonna defeat the information security cabal of secret world owners. Oh that makes total sense */snark* - Maybe the simplest explanation is the best? The media was owned by thousands and it's owned by fewer because of the basic lust for power and wealth. The human condition.

[perazh]

you are nonsense

It is fact that all the main stream media and Hollywood, (even youtube which was purchased by google owned by jews for $1.6 bil belong to Jews.

Who can deny for example FOX NEWs/SKY,, which is owned by Richard Murdock is not Jewish

The video that I gave you has a prize for anyone who proves it has any false info

He is my friend and be sure he will pay if you prove it...

BTW, WAKE UP

[Corporations8MyBaby]

So Sad. Hollywood, where I work and live is owned by huge multinational corporations that make weapons, machinery, own land & energy resources around the world. Jewish Americans have long since been bought out. You are so ignorant it's sad. *Ruppert Murdoch* was Presbyterian and is now Catholic. - Just because you are stupid and hateful about religions doesn't mean your fantasies are true. Back me up folks.

[skiks1]

I love the Show!!

[irishsean2]

Someone other than a dyke should dress this Bitch!

[TheVoceOfReason]

Way to represent.... :/

[llothar68]

Shit you are so low i can't even downvote you

[oldbimmercoupe]

how interesting that the discredited, radical neoCONs are supported here in response to independent and progressive views - what is obviously seen as a threat to the status quo and to the journey for truth. scary. what scares these people so? and why?

[bryananderson19]

Amy is so fake. George Bush was the best president ever. He saved this country after 911 and if the democrats would have worked with him in congress instead of starting a political war this country wouldnt be so messed up. Bus got us through the hardest time this country has ever seen and took the blame for what the Left has done. Amy is destroying this country.

[ShockBack]

Is that why international terrorism is at an all time high? The United States is the largest supporter and, as MLK once said, purveyor of violence/terrorism in the world. And those acts of terrorism, whether they be supported by the United States in Latin America, Southeast Asia or the Middle East have only grown since the death of MLK. The War on Terror is nothing but a War of Terror.

[HRINGNUN]

I love you Amy

[letsjustsaayyy]

I wonder how many coments on u tube are paid for by the republican party.

[Ponerexposer]

gatekeeper

[rspawn]

If DN is a gatekeeper, then it still shows a whole lot more of what's behind the gate than any of the big networks in the US.

Also, it seems that according to those who yell gatekeeper all the time, there is no-one who is not a gatekeeper.

[cabbycab]

aren't you some sort of hepcat!

[angeloamericano]

Goodman is also rich from this program. You would think she could fix herself up a little and fix her teeth.

[Zaimoren]

Thank you for adding so much to this chain of thought. Your indepth perception and intelligent take on the situation is amazing. With everything that is being said and brought out for thought and debate you suggest she fix her teeth. Bravo,,,well said! You are indeed a credit to the human race.

[GoreLost]

Fox News #1 - fair and balanced. They report and you decide.

[rekzkarz]

Amy Goodman is a true USA hero. Thank you for speaking truth to power!

Whatever negatives are post here, why don't you comment on Fox TV? Fox is fueled by a billionaire spewing out right-wing propaganda (95% spin) 24/7, and you have Amy and Pacifica fighting to get out the truth.

Maybe she has a left-wing slant on her reporting. At least it lets people like me have my views represented somewhere in the media.

Once this was the land of the free and free speech. Glad Democ Now is here!

[Spectres]

You're a wacked out liberal....people like you must eat shitcrackers for breakfast. I'm sure your parents are real proud that they have a nitwit idiot for a child.

It's people like you that are taking the United States into the sewer and down the shitter.

[rekzkarz]

Spectre, actually I'm an honor student and a world traveller.

It's not people like me taking the USA into the sewer, it's white-collar criminals taking $ from the tax pool and funneling it to giant Defense corporations instead of back to the public.

I thank you for proving in your response CLEARLY who's whacked. It's you, buddy.

I hope you feel proud of your President Bush -- he's doing exactly what you want, right? Killing the bad guys (and women & children), stealing oil, etc. Right?

[Spectres]

First of all you looney tuned wack job. Who the hell said I liked President Bush? Bush is the worst president this country ever had and ever will have.

Does that mean I like the looney left? Hell no. Bush is by no means a conservative Republican. Bush actually has printed more money then any president in history..EVEN if you throw out the "war" expenses.

The Republican party I once knew is no more. I hate the Bush administration just as much as the wacky welfare libs.

[Spectres]

Now, Stealing oil? Are you out of your fucking mind? If Bush had any balls he'd make Iraq pay us back for rebuilding WITH THEIR oil. Is Bush doing that? No he's not.

Killing women/children? Lmao. Man, you MUST be a Muslim. The terrorists hide behind women/children. If 10 civilians are killed to kill 4 terrorists...then we will mostly likely bomb them. This is war dumbass.

Btw...the Iraqi radicals blow up each other every fucking day. This doesn't bother you?

[rekzkarz]

Spectres, this is my last email to you b/c you are insulting and lack skill at talking beyond name-calling. You embarass yourself.

I'm no Muslim. The terrorists are fighting foreign invaders in their own country. Iraq never attacked USA. Why should the USA be there now?

Is Bin Laden an Iraqi? How many Iraqis attacked on 9/11?

There are reports of torture, rape, and murder in Iraq by US soldiers.

Who is terrorizing who?

So this is war - where is the other side?

Poor foreigners.

[Spectres]

You're a typical dumbass that has rocks in their head. Tell you what...why don't YOU research HOW this "war" was started bright eyes.

Ummm maybe it had something to do with Sadamn.

The Iraqies are such backword people...that they do now want freedom. We took the Sunnies out of power and the Shitte majority jumped into power after held down so long.

These Muslim finatics are the ones doing the murder, torture, and suicide bombs.

You are so ignorant it's nothing funny..serioulsly.

[Spectres]

Rekz....it's amazing that there are people as stupid as you are in this world...just fucking amzazing.

I wish to hell the gov't would round up all of you dumbfuck liberal ignorant cunts and throw you all off a cliff.

You people are so stupid and your thought processes are out of this world.

Again, you idiots...please read up on the war and why it happened and put away your stupid "sound bite cliches."

Lmao...go fuck a camel Rekz

[rekzkarz]

Go fuck a camel?

I heard your wife was pretty ugly, but where I live we have beautiful women. If you prefer camels to her butt-ugly face, that's your biz -- you're not very attractive yourself, so the camel would suffer.

The govt did kill all the Left-wingers once -- it was called Nazi Germany.

Your family is still saluting Hitler today, right?

I think calling people stupid constantly is a sign that you aren't well educated. Learn just a bit, will you?

War is not the answer.

[dbonanno]

Democracy Now! is basically socialist, communist propaganda. Hugo Chavez, for example, is showing his true colors by eliminating all dissenting speech in Venezuela. Yet he is the darling of Pacifica Radio. Says a lot about "progressives" such as Amy Goodman.

[RoosterCockburn077]

The progressives which are neo-liberals will bend the situation to fit their needs. For example they claim equal rights for all which also means homosexuals yet they allow Ahmadinejad to speak at Columbia, of course he did mention that his country Iran does not have a homosexual problem, interesting isn't it.

[dbonanno]

Good point. The neo-liberals have an irrational love for anyone that is opposed to Bush or the U.S. in general. They'd side with Stalin if he was still alive!

[biscoito1r]

you are clearly confusing liberal with neo-liberal, do some research on neoliberalism and then you can come back to apologize for your lack of knowledge on the subject

[USFella]

Columbia's University President berated Ahmadinejad before his speech, so how that's liberal, I don't know. The conservative American view is to let only those people speak with whom you agree, not exactly keeping with the right to free speech. Meanwhile, Bush wants to wage war with Iran, claiming that they are developing nuclear weapons when every intelligence report, national and international, indicates the opposite. Sound familiar? Who's more dangerous?

[USFella]

A product of conservative American media, which spoonfeeds you what you're supposed to think and thinks ignorantly in terms of labels, you've mistaken news coverage for advocacy. Democracy Now reports the good and bad about Hugo Chavez (who BTW has helped Americans during the oil crunch-more than Bush has done). While liberal, the program's news is bipartisan, critical of anyone making the world worse by abusing human rights. Charges of communist propaganda only make you sound like a dinosaur.

[rekzkarz]

Why whine about Democ Now? Fox is a TV channel that is so skewed that it makes Republicans look like they are kind and caring!!!

Amy Goodman is not a progressive, she is a radical. She speaks truth to power.

That's what the USA was about ... before the era of name-calling neo-fascists began.

I'm writing you while filming in Venezuela. Chavez is not eliminating dissenting speech in Vz, btw.

But what about Bush? Did you read that he paid for articles to be written in newspapers?

[kimm123456]

This is for Jamieblonde...you ridiculous zenophobe! You are just proving our point with your comment!

[needsumsun]

The Ron Paul Revolution. I see I.C.E in the future, lots of it

[Apharse]

And so petronius68 learns to hate Amy Goodman, the messenger. Still ignorant and faithful to the right wing policy that has driven foreign policy and Iraq's well being straight to hell. The assholes who slander Amy Goodman are the same assholes that need to eat shit and so that the world be a happier and more peaceful place.

[phoenixbwp]

DN! and FSTV were the only two stations that had people on the ground when we went into Iraq, and showed the people's side of what they wanted; peace between the two warring side. Now it is too dangerous to be there, even if you are an Iraqis citizen... DN! doesn't become biased, it happens when big money says "no comment" or denies to be on "any" news media. DN! doesn't hide facts when they are at demonstrations either...

[petronius68]

I'm not on either side. I'm just ir itated by the neurotics who feel they have to blame the strong side and su ck on their puffed up sense of injustice. Amy spends no time on the vic ious mur der s committed by isla m ists in Irak aginst civilians but she spends all the time on blaming the US

[ssdahle]

She spends a lot of time on Iraqi insurgent atrocities, and as far as blaming the US, all she has said is that the current occupation only exacerbates the violence, a sentiment she shares with 70% of Iraqis.

[petronius68]

So if the US leaves and Irak will be ruled by psycho islamists, and cause worse genocide then Amy Goodman will come and fix it all.

[britoca]

when several polls ran in Iraq show that the Iraqi people overwhelmingly want the US out of Iraq... where is this "democracy" in action we speak of?? I though democracy meant power to the people and the majority, or is this democracy coming to Iraq when those in power here feel like it?

BTW, Iraq is spelled with a Q, a Q!

[petronius68]

When you talk of democracy in Irakq you must keep in mind that maniacs like al Sadr have no intention of respecting the rules of democracy. I don;t give a rts ss if Irak is spelled with a Q or a K. Much of English Inglesh spelling is completely arbitrary and dumb to begin with

[westphalianprinz]

It can be spelled Iraq or Irak. There are actually two main types of English: North American and Commonwealth. And those two have different spellings. In Britain, colour has a u, while in the USA color doesn't.

[petronius68]

sounds like a silly arrangement. Other languages have no spelling issues. Funny that a practical people like the English couldn't put this one together without all the confusion

[westphalianprinz]

English doesn't have a standard form. We have no language academy to set how our language operates. I think German is that way, too.

[stayelusive]

are you retarded?

[petronius68]

Democracy now - is really another extreme left scheme designed to grab power and attention. Most of their presentations are biased

[KaiXi333]

... Meanwhile, Bill and Sean are fair and balanced!

[RelativelyPeeking]

Pay no attention to the dope behind the username. He only repeats what he is told.

[composite9]

biased towards the truth. Petronius68 is a sad, narrow minded being.

[britoca]

u're nuts, they break more stories before any other news outlet. If u want real news, about this that those in power strive to hide away from public view, u have to include DN! in your news menu.

[rekzkarz]

You are very inaccurate. Her show is moderately Left wing. Extreme left-wing is nothing we have in the USA, really. Democrats are not Left-Wing, they are centrists.

Real Left Wingers were Communists and Anarchists calling for complete overthrow of a corrupt system ruled by elites.

Amy has never done that. She and her show may occasionally point out that we are in a corrupt system ruled by elites, but they don't call for overthrow, just modification.

ie CENTRIST

[rekzkarz]

Since I explained Left Wing and Centrist, I might as well clearly define Right Wing. Right Wing (which mistakenly calls itself Conservative) pursues: a) religious morality as law b) warfare and world domination c) protection of upper class wealth d) expansion of power of elites e) cutting social supports for the poor f) blocking minorities from social benefits g) maintaining separate worlds of 'haves' and 'have nots' h) continuing capitalism, but passing any risks to the public and more.

[lapwiz]

You are wrong, Amy is An anrchist and a revolutionary. Your statement only shows how little you know Amy which I know and have seen on almost all important radical leftist events in NYC in the last 25 years. Perhaps DM has toned down a notch on the online brodcasting of the TV format to reach a wider audience and not alienate many that shy away from radical leftist positions. If you have listen to pacifica brodcasting of DM since the very begining, you would know that.

[danroduw06]

Evidence? Youre tinfoil hat would suffice.

[lapwiz]

very mature...

[bobkasp]

that's DN, not DM. Wake up!
