Cenk is amazingly accurate when it comes to predicting white house actions.

Rahm Ehmanuel is like Grima Wormtongue, from Lord of the rings, whispering into Obamas ears.

Tell it like it is, Jane and Cenk. Both parties' dirty tricks make Nixon and Johnson look like amateurs. Hundreds of PACs and Beltway bandits (many disguised as non-profits) swarmed into D.C. around Reagan's election. This 2008 Anti-War Radio interview with investigative journalist Robert Parry is an insightful overview of public perception-management from Iran-Contra to the Middle East wars. It's illustrated with photos and video clips (6 parts).

@HioPojac lol that cracks me up. You got no clue.

[HioPojac]

Eagleton told McGovern he wouldn't resign.

Eagleton had SERIOUS mental problems,  the seriousness of which were never released. McGovern was fucked either way - Eagleton wasn't a choice during the convention, but was forced on him.

Eagleton didn't tell McCgovern about the electroshock shit and the volence against his wife (which was buried in medical records).

What was McGovern gonna do?

You low snakes make politics a game. It's not. It affects people. The Democrats ARE better than the Repubs.

[HioPojac]

@CognosSquare Right, how precisely, do you know? You've got this image in your head. It's not accurate. You've never been in a Whitte House meeting. You've never seen this happening. But you BELIEVE it anyway - like a fanatic religious nut.

Let me tell you something you animal - there IS a difference between the Dems and the Repubs. Cenk and Hamsher and the rest, sneer and piss and moan, "no difference."

There IS a fucking difference.

You filth are the reason we lost in '10. You're a dog.

[Gjeorje]

- It`s Blair all over again. After Bush/Thatcher screws up everything up we get a conformist, P.R. -led mouthpiece, then it`s back to business as usual.

and rahm emanuel must be the next guy to be fired, no more fiering real reformers like van johnes

[MikeRoch6969]

this whitehouse is turning into the biggest bait and switch ever! healthcare has a 2013 start date even with the public option, its time for all liberal groups to come together and draw a line: do real reform or lose the whitehouse!

Great interview. I've been increasingly disappointed in how these "progressive" organizations simply toe the Democratic party line, or they step just slightly past it at best.

The corporations have so much control over us now, it will take a miracle to break it. Even our judicial wants to relax campaign finance laws. In a way, I think 2012 is going to be that cosmic level make or break for America and perhaps the world. This goes much further and there will be no going back without war.

There wasn't evidence it was just speculation that the media didn't question. The only evidence was he had them in the past and photos of trucks and sites that possibly had WMD. Of course they went in with an agenda. It was an attempt to kill two birds with one stone. They used the support from the 9/11 attacks to take out an old foe that was running the region. The Bush administration shortsightedness didn't examine how Iraq balanced the region.A common failure in US foreign policy.
