“As a Progressive, I have to say that I am baffled by your emotionally charged comment aimed at Bob Cesca.
As front guys for big banks and multi-corporations, one of the more important tasks the GOP is commissioned for is to drown out the voice of those who actually speak on behave of 'the people'.

Amy Goodman And Canada's Olympic Paranoia
Commented Nov 28, 2009 at 18:09:48 in Sports
“Your response is understood and appreciated.
My concern is mostly stirred up because of this remark from the article:
"The Canadian government has leveled public housing, stifled civil liberties and harassed local activists. The last thing they want is someone like Amy Goodman telling the world."
Canadian people are typically polite and accommodating and no doubt would be put off by such blatantly corporate behavior within their own borders.”

“Amy Goodman is one of our finest journalists both nationally and internationally.
That she was treated with such disrespect by the Canadian boarder patrol speaks very poorly for Canada in general.
Having said that, perhaps it was a good thing that this happened and is being reported, because up until now, the majority of us North Americans were mostly unaware of the slope our neighbor to the north is sliding down.”

“There about 33,000,000 Canadians, one or 2 of which hassled Ms Goodman - probably on the directions of a single politician or flack to a big-wig in immigration. The rest of us didn't know about this until after the fact and less than 10% would have approved.”

“The 'false equivalency' response is a verbal one-finger salute to those of us who dare to address the far rights bad and dangerous behavior.

“When I hear things like "The economy is recovering", I can't help but wonder - 'For whom?'
I also question those numerous and expensive commercials that sooth me with music and massage me with messages of a relaxing lifestyle once I sign on the dotted line or buy their product.
Would that 'relaxing lifestyle' be mine ... or theirs?
Does subjecting my daughter to a vaccine that has numerous side-effects and no history or long-term data really protect her health? Or does it protect Pharma's wealth?
When I fail to question the motives of giant corporations and major financial institutions - who ultimately stands to gain?
And will my quality of life improve if insurance companies are allowed to hold me hostage because I have no other option outside of death or destitution?”

“Good questions, and I might add one my 50 yr old son asked: Are there really that many males in the US suffering from erectile dysfunction? If so, why? And OTC "performance enhancers" are just another ripoff, but this country is morbidly obsessed with sex (or the lack thereof). The pursuit of education and critical thinking takes a huge back seat to primal urges. That could also explain a lot about the rightwing.”

“On behalf of all the poor wolves gunned down under Palin's reign, I relish her demise.

Maybe then she’ll get a taste of what it's like to be a target of something too large to escape.”

“"As a group, they are the pop culture equivalent of necrotic carrion beetles, crawling with insectile determination from one infected open wound in the American psyche to another. The wounds include fear of race, fear of foreigners, fear of sexuality, fear of difference, hysterical religious fundamentalism, violent nationalism, and paranoia. They lay their eggs in the infected abrasion, then scuttle away. When the eggs hatch, disgorging rage and discontent, they start counting money."
That has got to be one of the most satisfying diatribes I've read in a very long time.”
