“I'm guessing that no neocons were mentioned simply because that wasn't the subject of the post. The post is concerned with Beck's promotion of the extreme paleoconservative right...people who share the politics of Taki Theodoracopulos, by the way. The fact that these people happen to be isolationists really isn't relevant.”

“When they say they never adverstised on Beck's show in the first place, what do they mean? I'm reading that claim in the context of all the other companies that have said they buy ad time on Fox in bulk, and haven't (until now) specified which show their commercials should or shouldn't be shown on. When P&G, etc. say they "never advertised on Glenn Beck to begin with", are they actually saying that they've never specifically requested that their commercials be shown on his show? I find it hard to believe that ads for P&G and Sargento products have never appeared on the Glenn Beck Show.”

and there's a TPO against him apparently, driving w/ no license more than once, tax collection matters, not paying his rent, etc. etc. He's spent 'way more than his fair share of time in front of judges.”

CNN reports that she claims that she didn't meet Crowley on site, that the report is wrong.”

“fake outrage? This type of racism is worse than an actual slur... she insults his intelligence prior to even mentioning the NAACP, then marginalized him and his whole purpose for being there (to discuss where these green jobs in CA are) and saying "well other blacks disagree with your report" he is trying to say "why should I care whether or not other blacks agree with my report, why would just toss this aside as a black thing?" which she does then starts talking to someone else in the mike while Alford is talking to another senator... AS IF HE WASN'T EVEN THERE then has the gall to turn to him and say "see how much I respect you?" yeah not enough to even discuss the report or listen to what he has to say.

this soft racism is the kind of thing that makes me embarrased to be white...”

“You're assuming that the NAACP didn't cite the scientific community. Why?”

KDog76A replied on Jul 17, 2009 at 12:12:46

“Boxer couldn't even cite the document she was referring to, nor discuss its content or why it was being entered into the record without even being discussed.. this is what set the whole thing off... she couldn't give any details on it other than that it was by other black people.”
