Fabulous! But did you note that, unlike the town halls, these singers were escorted out. Corporations are not interested in free speech.

The singers did finish their song, though...and it's available for all to see and hear! Ain't the internet wonderful?!

They should've had guns, then they wouldn't be asked to leave.

WHY THE WHITE HOUSE IS LOSING THE HEALTH INSURANCE REFORM DEBATE.

They're O.D.'d on dignity.

Little do they know benevolent bromides and honey-coated political promises are out.

The unexpected grabs attention and the unorthodox is the antidote to a world of mediocrity.

The need to use truth, humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues is here and now.

The mighty bumper sticker/billboard, a form of mass communication in America and is still a powerful medium. It’s literally a message in a bottle, a social statement that people of every political stripe can comprehend.

A very fine bit of guerilla theater, indeed. My only beef is that it makes my kitten flee the room in terror (remind me never to take him to the opera). These people are true heroes of democracy, and on top of that, they have a delightful sense of humor. As a remote observer, I would recommend that they immediately replace the current administration, and that their friends take over the house and senate! Five Stars!

these young people give me hope that we will figure a way out of the mess we are in i read the live chat blog from your radio appearance the other day and someone mentioned that comcast is going to buy nbc...this really worries me as comcast seems to really enjoy censoring content i watch mclaughlin group on a regular basis on pbs,last sunday the format was different ,instead of the ussual panel discussion it was mclaughlin one on one with some guy discussing space exploration...now here is the concern i have....who decided to run that instead of the show that was taped that talked about really serious matters(my first thought was maybe pat buchan mentioned his magazine and sibels interview but according to the transcript that wasnt it) anyway for what it is worth here is a link to the show that did not get broadcast in central illinois http://www.mclaughlin.co...ry/transcript.htm?id=750

Karen, you want to know who decides? Look at the list of sponsors at the beginning or end of the show.

BTW, check out Russ Feingold here on Face the Nation (posted at Talkleft) - the 1st half is on Afghanistan and the 2nd half is on health care reform. He's brilliant. He's my man! He can't run for president too soon.

Kucinich was on C Span Sunday morning and a caller mentioned the Schmidt/Kerkorkian case (not Sibel by name). Kuch said he hadn't heard about it and would the caller please contact his office Monday with the specifics of the case. Does anyone really think Dennis is unaware of this? BTW the caller did an excellent job of presenting it to him so he didn't get cut off halfway through, IMO. It might be a good time for you to contact his office Monday about it.

THE WHITE HOUSE IS NOT LOSING THE HEALTH CARE DEBATE. OBAMA AND HEALTH CARE ARE BOTH UP AFTER THE SO-CALLED "TEA PARTIES". THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL WIN DESPITE THE GOP REPRESENTATIVES WHO HAVE SOLD OUT TO INSURANCE AND BIG PHARMA INTEREST. BOTH INDUSTRIES ARE SPENDING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS TO DEFEAT THE HEALTH CARE BILL. PUBLIC OPTION FIRST THEN THE ONLY SYSTEM THAT REALLY HAS A CHANCE TO WORK "SINGLE PAYER".
