On Tuesday’s Radio Show…

July 22nd, 2008, 6:00 PM EDT

Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA), an Obama supporter, discusses the latest action on the campaign trail.
• The McCain campaign says the media is in a “love affair” with Barack Obama, but is it true? Alan separates myth from reality.
• Firearms enthusiast Carol Schultz likes to pack heat wherever she goes. On a recent visit to the zoo, she and her friends at OpenCarry.org arrived fully armed with handguns! Alan will ask her why.

Responses to this post...

  1. LOL. So Alan you’re going to “separate myth from reality” when it comes to McCain’s “the media loves Obama” claim? Yeah right. The easiest way to mock that claim is to point out that Fox News despises Obama.

    But you won’t do that, since you’re a gutless weasel who helps despicable Republican character assassins like John Moody and Roger Ailes operate.

  2. I was not first…

  3. The Media and McCain -

  4. Very unlikely I’ll be around tonight, Cheryl. Sorry.

  5. I think that John is in love with Alan. He’s made it quite apparent in his comments. I wish I had fans who loved me so much.

  6. The nuts who think they have to concealed carry for personal protection can at least make a [weak] case for doing so.

    The nuts who think they have to openly carry are doing it for some other reason that I can’t adequately put into words.

    While I can’t put the reason into words, it must be the same reason some male pervs might go around with their fly unzipped and their privates hanging out for the world to see.

    To either one all I would say is, “cover that up and stop showing it off - others have much better and we are not impressed”.

  7. McCain is wrong on the Surge & Sunni awakening timeline, when will the media report it?

    http://weblogs.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/politics/blog/2008/07/surge_ii_cbs_gets_obama_and_mc.html

  8. B.L.T.’s are okay to eat again, but now I have to forego fresh jalapenos on my nachos. Here’s what I have to say about these food issues. I’d post the links I used as reference, but then my comment would be in moderation.

    It’s not enough to worry- or “whine”, as Phil Gramm put it- about the rising cost of food, we now have to worry about the safety of it. Obama and McCain are too busy one-upping each other on the Iraq War to address food safety issues. But why isn’t Bush? Safety concerns impact our ability to export food. In June, thousands of South Korean citizens protested against the possible reintroduction of American beef. Some of their demonstrations resulted in riots that required police intervention. South Korea’s concern is Mad Cow Disease. They greatly restricted US beef imports in 2003 after the disease was found in meat. Among several stipulations reached in an agreement between our governments was the requirement that beef imported to South Korea be from slaughtered cows under the age of 2.5 years.

    We’ve of course had our food issues here at home. In early June the FDA warned that certain types of tomatoes were linked to an outbreak of Salmonella that sickened over 1200 people in 43 states. Later that month, the Kroger grocery store chain recalled over 5 million pounds of beef in 20 different states. Their contaminated beef, purchased from a supplier in Nebraska, transferred E. Coli to 34 different people. Two months after the FDA’s initial warning about tomatoes, the public is now being told that jalapenos were the Salmonella culprit. Unfortunately for tomatoe farmers, they’ve already lost $100 million over this - too much money for their personal economic stimilus payments to cover.

    If we are truly in a “psychological” recession, Bush’s lack of attention to these matters is not helping. Consumers are still concerned about the safety of tomatoes and tomatoe based products. Now that jalapenos have been named, we can expect a decrease in those sales for farmers as well.

  9. ‘Mouse- I’m sure we’ll hear from John the Trucker and Bob in Vegas about this tonight. You know how they like to call in and set the pantywaists straight.

  10. If McCain wants the news media to pay attention to him he’ll have to do something besides play golf with George H.W., barbecue with his friends, and give angry man speeches. I find him boring…so I guess the media is in touch with the public for a change…

  11. what up cool people

  12. Mary- i agree with you, but you have to admit that the line he used was really good. “I’d rather lose a campaign and win the war”. that’s the most impressive thing he’s said in this campaign.

  13. hey pooh!

  14. Cheryl…you called it! There’s Bob. He reminds me of that character in the movie “What About Bob”

  15. Until he said Obama would rather lose the war than lose the election. McCain is an ass…

  16. hey fury!

  17. i hope you got my email. as i said, i’ve been very busy, and it very stressful. bc the battery died in my car, i can’t take my son over to my parent’s house for my usual evening break. too much going on for me to think about anything other than the absolute priorities, you know?

  18. these callers are morons…

  19. i’ve never called, but i’m really considering it tonight

  20. just do it. don’t even tell us you’re doing it, if it’ll make you less nervous. also, there’s plenty of reason to be nervous but you really don’t have to be. the first time i called, i specifically said “i’m really nervous bc i’ve never called a radio station before” and alan said “why are you nervous? there are only like 4 people who listen to this show. me, the producers, and you.” LOL

  21. you can tell him that you’re nervous and that you’re going to make your point as quick as possible. just remember not to -

    1. thank him for taking your call
    2. ask how he’s doing
    3. compare any person or situation to the Nazis, not even the Nazis themselves LOL

  22. Cheryl…probably it wasn’t McCain who thought of that comment (don’t think he’s quite that sharp). Did you see him hem & haw when he was asked about Viagra/Birth Control.

  23. Pooh…go for it! Talking to Alan is a blast!

  24. Obama is kissing the Zionist’s ass because he is a turncoat Muslim appeasing the likes of American hater traitor Alan Colmes.

    God bless Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his defense of free speech and work to rid the world of the Zionist menace. Vote Nader/Gonzales ‘08 and defeat AIPAC. Take back the country for true Americans under God!

  25. no, i missed the viagara thing. i saw someone mention it on another thread here, but didn’t research it. what happened?

  26. mary, have you called in to the show before?

  27. Does hannity have i site where we can post comments about the trash he spews?? if so please post i cant find ?

  28. Cheryl and Mary, I’ve tried once for radio graffiti. Amy got on the phone and sounded so nice and asked if I wanted to be on the air…

    I hung up. It was like a 7th grade dance all of a sudden in my head. Maybe one night I’ll do it when the blood pressure is tapped out and there’s no ice cream around.

  30. McCain: Viagra or Birth Control

    This video is hilarious. Watch McCain’s face and body language.

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q2y8dYwq01g

  31. Tim just google hannity

  32. Cheryl ..yeah I’ve called Alan a lot. He’s so fun to talk to. I even sang him songs on the air & wrote him a few poems.
    Re: Viragra/BC There was a woman who asked McCain what his opinion is about insurance companies paying for prescriptions for Viagra but not birth control. He sputtered & stammered and then finally said he didn’t know enough about it to give an opinion.

  33. had to restart my damned computer guys, i gotta catch up on the comments

  34. lol, Pooh. not only is Aimee nice, she’s very pretty as well. she’s a sweetheart, and she gets to know the regular callers, too. remember when one of the callers was asking about the person who called radio graffiti every night slamming Hillary Clinton? alan and the caller couldn’t remember the name, but Aimee of course knew it was della.

  35. Pooh… you are my favorite chracter from childhood so I’ve written a poem to inspire you to call Alan:
    Don’t need to get to Broadway
    Or take a rocket to the moon,
    Just want to talk to Alan Colmes
    And gotta do it soon.
    He always fills the air waves
    With words of true insight
    His heart is full of kindness
    Even when he fights
    I’ll be listening to him
    Every hour he is here…
    Wish he could know how fun it is
    To welcome him to my ears!

  36. SUDDEN DEATH RADIO.

    YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

  37. Very nice Mary!

  38. mary- that’s so funny! i bet that really put him on the spot, lol.

    e- i’ll check to see if i can play the vid.

    where’s LV tonight? hope she’s okay. this is the 2nd night she hasn’t been here.

    btw mary, i think i remember your calls! that’s so cool.

  39. I’ve even talked to Aimee a few times just to ask questions and yes, she is very very nice. She knew I didn’t want to be on the air and still took the time to talk to me and be helpful.

  40. awww…that was cool…i wish i could do poetry

  41. in ref to the vid link E posted-

    LMAO. that is so FUNNY. damn, he was so UNCOMFORTABLE.

    but, to his credit, at the end of the vid he does say that he doesn’t usually duck questions and that he’ll “try” to get back to her. i def give him credit for that.

    mary- LOVE THAT POEM!

  42. McCain: Viagra or Birth Control?

    At his age, probably neither. Instead, a nice “nap”.

    Happy days are here again.
    The skies above are clear again.
    So let’s sing a song of cheer again.
    Happy days are here again.

    You can do it, Pooh! Go ahead & call…
    The first time I called Alan was when he did lightening round. That’s a good way to get in & say something short.Maybe sudden death…if you can put up with rejection it’s fun..

  44. Good evening all! I’m on the laptop tonight so it’ll be slow going for me.

  45. Just checked the news about the Dollycane. Sounds like Mexico is in for a scary night. May evacuate over 20 thousand people!

  46. David Duke got me to thinking about an old song.

    The “Colonel Bogey March”. It’s the song the POWs whistled in “The Bridge on the River Kwai”.

    Hitler has only got one ball,
    Göring has two but very small,
    Himmler is somewhat sim’lar,
    But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all.

    Sorry to get a bit vulgar, but Mr. Duke’s the one who started it.

  54. I’m sorry DP. I hope it improves cause I’d love for someone to buy a house I have up for sale. I also think that once the banks start loaning the money we’ve been forced to lend them the housing market will improve.

  70. Carol Schultz has an attitude and she arms herself as protection from “all the people who want to hurt me”?

    A little time with a shrink might be a better investment than S&W.

    Nampa is like Kansas, by the way. It’s flat. Lots of wheat, barley and hops (beer). Oh, and potatoes. Nampa-Caldwell is where a lot of your McD’s french fries come from. The last time I was there it was a very, very quiet place.

    Nampa isn’t exactly the mean streets of Chicago.

    Pooh- Nah, I don’t want to feel that anger again. I’ll give myself a heart attack.

  84. Alan Colmes, your big nose might scare children. I guess you should leave it at home you child murdering animal fucker. You are an insane godless socialist who hates the great nation of true America.

  85. i just watched the vid on their home page. why isn’t that professional speaking guy on with alan instead of this chick?

  86. last night, there was a discussion about the PETA commercial. there was a lady from PETA on, and a republican lady who’s running for Congress or something in DE. the conversation was all about the PETA ad, and the DE lady somehow connected it to abortion. alan asked her to answer a specific question, but she didn’t want to answer it, she wanted to keep going back to abortion. then she said “you know what alan, i don’t have to be yelled at by you, and i have a campaign to run, so good night”. that’s not verbatim, but it’s pretty accurate.

  87. i thought the same thing till his kids said they’re carrying knives to protect themselves

  91. i didn’t see that part. i just watched it long enough to see Carol.

    you know, i feel kind of bad for her. she said that she was attacked, and i guess she hasn’t dealt with it properly. i agree with ‘Mouse that she should be in counseling.

    it’s not a bad thing for attack victims to take self-defense classes. carrying a gun isn’t the issue tonight, the issue was of course that they took their guns to the zoo. that wasn’t a good way to support their cause.

  92. I hope that gun lady stays home most of the time. I wouldn’t want to meet her for lunch or go shopping with her, she doesn’t sound coherent enough to handle a gun responsibly.

  93. i ignore the Nazi guy. i’ve gotten good at ignoring comments that written by certain visitors and/or that contain certain “key words”

  94. she also sounded like she’s high.

  95. Should have put “Carol” on for Sudden Death Radio.

  103. Nader is a Maronite Christian Lebanese Arab and a good man. He knows the truth about the Zionists. Just like Mahdi worshipper heretic Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who will deal with the Zionists if you elect Afro-Leninist Muslim turncoat Obama on the behalf of demonic Jew Alan Colmes.

  104. When Nader becomes president he’s going to switch Israel for Georgia. Israel will be here and Georgia will then be re-located to the middle east.

  105. He said so on C-Span.

  119. Sooo coool…Alan is listening to us! What a guy!

  120. Anonlymouse, you are disgusting. The Isrealis murdered 100,000 innocent Lebanese and have displaced a whole nation. The lies about the Zionists must be exposed, Alan Colmes and that bigoted caller hide behind the label “anti-semitism” to cover for the most murderous apartheid regime in the world. There were no terrorist attacks on the United States until they supported the illegal Zionist regime in Israel on the basis of a hoax. You are controlled by Zionist CNN Blitzer and King and Fox News Murdoch and his puppet Alan Colmes. You hate me because I tell you the truth but you are comfortable in your left-right false division. Both parties are socialist AIPAC lovers, even atrocious America hater Nancy Pelosi removed the language from the legislation calling the patriotic Iranian Revolutionary Guard terrorists that would prevent Bush from bombing heroic Ahmadinejad on behalf of the Zionists. You will see, Afro-Leninist Obama will plunge you into another Zionist Jew War because you believe the lies of Alan Colmes.

    Only those who know the truth can bring greatness to true America.

  121. Alan said that the title of Larry Craig’s book is WIDE STANCE.

    LOL

  122. David- thanks very much for bringing truth to America. Really, we appreciate it.

    Just kiddin’. I’m yanking your gas nozzle. No one cares what you say because it’s presented in a very negative and arrogant manner.

  123. ahh. i don’t feel good. oyyy

  124. “No one cares what you say because it’s presented in a very negative and arrogant manner.”

    And that is the same thing the AIPAC false conservatives say about your type of people. They call you elitists, you know many of the things you say are more true than what they say. Think about your global warming stories that you think are so important to the future of the world. There were no evangelicals voting until Zionist Jerry Falwell entered politics. Remember Nixon and Billy Graham were hounded by the Zionist media for telling the truth about the Jew and their hoax.

    I care about the great white race that has been diluted and the destruction of the knowledgable Arabic people who have been persecuted on behalf of the Zionists. You could live a life in peace if you would abandon the Zionists and realize the truth.

    You blame liberal AIPAC Zionist Bush because you think he is conservative, but he is not. You know he is not. You know he is a socialist, look how he spends government money on business. He does the bidding of the Jew in attacking the Arab people, that is why he invaded Iraq when there was no reason. It was AIPAC that caused that war, but you have been so brainwashed by the lies you fear being accused of antisemitism for stating the obvious truth. He lied to the false conservatives in 2000 about nation building and went to war. Obama will do the same to the great Persian people of Iran for the sake of AIPAC. The country is governed by Zionists who know how to lie to you to get you to surrender your government to them.

    If you all hate America so much then fuck you. Listen to this lying socialist demon because you believe the hoax, I shed no tears over your ashen remains after they destroy this great nation and it is burned alive in retaliation by those oppressed by the Zionists. I have no use for traitors.

  187. I love squirrels by the way and used to feed them in the park on my lap. Can’t do that anymore, $100 ticket for feeding them. They’re sweet.

  188. The point of the opencarry movement is to normalize guns in the public view. It’s to encourage responsible firearm ownership and to desensitize people to guns in a good manner. People see guns in a bad light in movies and video games all of the time, why not see responsible parents taking their kids to the zoo with their guns on their hip? Why does your right to not be offended (which you have no right to) override her right to protect her family where ever she may be?

  189. I been to Israel , where teenagers hang out with their Uzis slung on their back.

  190. Lots of folks haven’t been exposed to the Dodge City zeitgeist. I guess if you’re halfway exposed opencarry could seem like a logical coping mechanism. If you become very, very exposed…and you come out alive…you might just want to get to the root…like economic policy.

  192. More people will be involved. More people will express themselves. This is the great promise they hold out to us. Of course, they don’t mention that whoever speaks will be subject to the hatred of PCers. [Or should we now say NCers...nuance correctors?] And they don’t mention that this hatred has not abated with more participation, that young minds out there today are the most productive petri dishes ever to land on the merchants-of-cool-Inc door step. Well then, why not just continue swabn’em down with the latest war-of-all-against-all mind games?

    If a guest in your home doesn’t dig tobaco smoke, will you take your cigarette outside? If Pete Peterson (a conservative) is a guest on the Bill Moyers show…however much he disagrees with him and on however many points…will Bill attempt to elicit whatever half-decent opinions the guy owns that might have some bearing on world we share? Clearly, though, “callers” are in no sense guests. They’re like the folks Huffington names the “community” that leaves comment…careful not to lend the unmerited title “bloggers.” What a joke.

    Someone this week was criticizing the admin’s way of dealing with terrorism, and they said in so many words that a “brittle” nation is not a secure nation.

    Alan’s experiment with “sudden death” hours is very instructive. He, Moyers, and Christopher Lydon can pull the good ideas outta folks or get’em to concede their own weak points while they’re laughing. It makes one stop and wonder what will become of us when the Ministry of Truth and Communications has pushed these old troopers aside.

    The Alan Colmes Show might make better callers of us to some extent, true. But don’t do like the fundies and think your medium/org is gonna be the vehicle to make us flat out better.

    Oh, and Alan, why the double standard re more than one point? Why not give your staff the option of thanking callers when they feel like it?

  193. test

  194. What we do not hear is an honest rundown or overview of the truth. Our economic condition is not mental. It sadly, is very real. For every bank or financial institution that the government bails out our dollar sinks in value. Were do we think the money comes from? At a certain point the government has to print more money to distribute which increases the circulation, thus devaluing the currency. There is the factor of massive personal debt. There is the factor of massive national debt and immense war spending financed by selling T-Bills. We as individuals and as a nation are out of credit and leaders who will tell us the truth. Economic pundits have claimed that no one predicted any of the current economic collapse. They must be living in a bubble due to the fact that many people have publicly predicted that our foreign policy and deregulation of commerce (market) would be a disaster. Many of those warning came from Democrats against the Bush Administration actions. Well it is time to pay the piper. But all we have in the bank is rats. The facts on the ground do not match the words coming from the administration. We are facing the failure of Conservative economic and foreign policy dogma. A failure set in motion by the deregulation or the removal of the protections put in place after the Great Depression. We have had our national security jeopardized by the devaluing of the US Dollar. We have put a half off for sale sign on our nations economic and industrial institutions. Foreign Sovereign Wealth Funds do not have to invade a nation they already own. We are looking at the beginning of the deconstruction of America due to a lack in belief in oversight, regulation, or government. We are looking at a tree that bears fruit only for special interests and not the citizen. On the surface a market running wild seems like a good thing. The error is human nature, our greed, our short sightedness, our lust for quick profit and nothing else and a naive belief that business will have a concern for individual citizens or loyalty to this nation. We should learn from the past, learn from the robber barons, monopolies, abuse and manipulation of markets that led up to the Great Depression. We had leaders that put in place legislation that protected labor, citizens, and markets from greed, abuse and manipulation. But the Conservatives on today have walked away from those protections. Why? Many of them are former CEO’s or Corporate Executives that hold the interest of their Parent Industry at heart. This is a betrayal of the sovereignty of the individual. We have fell victim to so-called free trade policy, which are actually the dismantling of Post Great Depression legislation. A Free Market is free to fail; free to have profit takers get in and leave when things start to go bad. The Republican business model has led us to our current situation. It only took 7 years, but the effects will be felt for a long time. From Regan, Bush Sr. Clinton and George W. Bush the middle class has been decimated. The middle class is what created the American dream, sadly they are an endangered species due to a foreign policy that spends money that is not there, deregulation of the elements which created the stability enjoyed by the middle and upper middle class, NAFTA, GAFTA, and a government that has loyalty not to the citizen but to the shortsighted greed of many corporations or industries. The problem with our economic structure is systemic. Our problem is the combination of the commercialization of the American culture, the fusion of government and corporations, greed, a lust for material possessions in order to keep up with the neighbors, a lust to define one’s self by their possessions, and a lack of public awareness. We have a new religion in this nation. It is Commercialism. Materialism is our Old Testament, Consumption our New Testament, while Commercialism is our God. This is why we have debt. Waste, depleted resources, inflation, collapsing banks, pollution, social inequality and an economy that is eating its own tail.

  195. Many economists are talking about something that many conservatives have said was a good thing. The Weak Dollar! The dollar is why food, gas, and other consumer items are sky high. But it is not the only reason. Environmental pressure has reduced yields around the world in agriculture. Resources are also dwindling. From lumber to fish, from oil to land that will sustain crops we are feeling the result of a world populated by over 6 billion consumers. Then we have the debt problem, government overspending, government debt, personal debt, credit card debt, corporate debt, and war debt (one to two Trillion Dollars and growing). There is also a growing distrust for the American business world. With all the scandal and bad business decisions that have occurred the world has lost trust in the American system. They do not want to invest in a Nation that has a weak currency, corrupt or scandal-ridden businesses, massive debt, and a foreign policy that will bankrupt this nation. On paper we are broke. We owe Japan and China billions along with many others. I almost forgot about the printing of money out of thin air by the Federal Reserve. With all the bailouts, prop-ups, or what ever they decide to call it, we are adding to the devaluation of the dollar. We have increased the printing of money, therefore flooding the market with dollars in a hope of propping up the economy via making credit available to all the failing financial institutions. Why is this all happening? Deregulation via the destruction of the legislation that acted as a safeguard against a market or business running wild with fast profit greed. Who are the champions of letting the dog off the leash? The Free Market Republicans of NAFTA and GAFTA was the final nail in the coffin of the value of the dollar. They made it possible to export labor to nations with no standards, rules, oversight, regulations, or protections for labor. We have exported the Middle Class. With labor and skilled labor leaving the country the dollar takes another hit. The value of the dollar is based upon many factors. It is a representation of the entire nation. The dollar is a symbol of our overall health, wealth, and future prosperity. We should always argue for a strong dollar. Now after the effects have been realized from years of Republican deregulation or economic dogma some conservatives like Steve Forbes are now calling for a return to a strong dollar as a solution to our economic dilemma.

  196. McCain and other Republicans have stated that victory in Iraq would be a stable Iraq. That is like asking for peace between Israel and Palestine. The Middle East is always going to be a hot bed of conflict due to its Religious Fundamentalism. Should we invade Palestine or Lebanon because they have unstable governments? No. If we used the conservative logic for Iraq we should invade nations all over the world who have unstable governments. Why then are do we have troops still in nations that have stable governments? If unstable v. stable is the qualification for a military presence we should pull out of the hundreds of bases around the world. We should have pulled out the military after Iraq held their first vote. There is no logical reason to keep 130,000 plus soldiers in Iraq. They have their sovereignty, a police force and an elected Theocratic government. What more is there to win in Iraq? McCain and other Republicans would have us believe that the front on the war on terror is still in Iraq. President Bush has stated that Saddam and Iraq had nothing to do with Sept. 11th, 2001. Terrorist Insurgents did not arrive in Iraq until after we removed Saddam from power. The front in the fight on terror is in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and many other places including Saudi Arabia. There is still violence in Iraq even though some claim the surge was a success. The success is that the terrorists have moved to other areas. Just as in Vietnam and the Tet Offensive, Iraq will see a rise in sectarian violence before we can say mission accomplished. We could remain there for 2,000 years and there will always be some excuse for keeping troops there. That is the surge has succeeded in making Afghanistan and Pakistan the terrorist focus. The war in Iraq was built on faulty reasoning, lies, deception, manipulation, and greed. What greed? War profiteering from no-bid contracts via the privatization of much of the conflict. Oil and the price of oil are another fringe benefit of destabilization of the Middle East. Staying in Iraq will keep the price inflated due to the geopolitical risk factor. How would someone influence the price of oil on the world market? Destabilize the supply side. Iraq has added to devaluing not only the value of the dollar due to debt, but it has also added to the speculator influenced increase in oil price thanks to our blunder. From a political and policy aspect Iraq is a failure. But is could be considered a success for those who wished for oil to increase in price. Even tough talk about Iran can raise the price of oil. It should not be a big secret that any action in the Middle East can affect oil. Sadly many Americans do not realize this fact. I ask you, is all the tough talk on Iran and the war in Iraq more than just a national security aspect? Is it all a sly market manipulation? I think we would be naive to think otherwise. What if the oil is not the focus and instead the real focus has been the price of oil? I would like to ask McCain and other Republicans if they moved a major amount of money to oil futures or energy sector stock, before or right after the invasion of Iraq? We should have an investigation into market activity and policy activity? The American people deserve it.

  197. John David Prince:

    The weak dollar and the war in Iraq have the same cause: Jewish bankers. The Zionists are going to attempt to impose a socialist hegemony over true America but those who know the truth about their hoax will stop them. Unfortunately many people will die in the process to eliminate the most dangerous threat in the world. Stop voting in candidates who are slaves to AIPAC just because you are told to by the Zionist establishment like the traitor Colmes. Stand up for a great nation under God.

  198. It can’t be cause it takes more than bankers. It takes collusion. Like Prince said, Reps and Senators who still have the interests of their parent companies at heart. A government/corporation fusion. Sounds monolithic, but the rules [WTO rules, say] are as complex and ambiguous as any guiding force Kafka’s protagonists manage to discover. Jacques Ellul said that technology has replaced capital. Well, when we had state of the art technology we could’ve stood it down a bit and set a precedent. But we sold our state of the art. What can the Chinese gov do with the technological system? Hopefully, India’s gov will voluntarily go for some appropriate tech. Perhaps we the abusers of raw materials will turn to sod houses and solar, and then one day the Indians and Chinese will look to us for answers once again. All in all, right now none of these societies have begun to wean themselves from irrational products that go forth like the blob. All the leases for drilling in the Gulf of Mexico Alan keeps citing are not an answer…hurricanes will flatten anything out there. Gore’s answer is the only one that makes sense, but his answer goes against the maintainers of the kinds of media that brought us to this space to begin with. Perhaps individuals across the globe working for appropriate tech will make a difference (though I doubt if Fox or mainstream in general will announce this development).

  200. This is a good piece by UK’s Melanie Philips

    Swooning over Princess Obama
    Daily Mail, 24 July 2008

    There’s been nothing like it since Beatlemania. As the Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama arrives in Britain tomorrow on the last leg of his world tour, Obamania seems to be sweeping across the Atlantic and carrying all before it.

    In giant rallies across the U.S., Obama induces hysteria among his adoring multitude, with women fainting from the effects of his soaring oratory and rock-star charisma.

    On both sides of the Atlantic the media are swooning over him. Like Berlin and Paris, he is expected to receive a rapturous reception here.

    Labour MPs are urging Gordon Brown to emulate him, while a third of Tory MPs are said to support him rather than his Republican opponent, John McCain.

    The U.S. election may not take place until November, but in Europe Obama has already won by a landslide.

    Nor does he do anything to disabuse people of the view that he is ‘the One’. He is going to win the war in Iraq. He’s going to break the deadlock in the Middle East.

    In the U.S., he declared his presidency would be seen as ‘the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal’.

    Doubtless as the water recedes he will walk on it. His tour is supposed to be merely a fact-finding exercise for an election candidate — but it is being treated as a cross between a coronation and the Second Coming.

    So at the risk of being a party pooper, may I pose the question: might not a junior senator with less than four years’ experience on Capitol Hill be advised to show just a smidgen of humility?

    Significantly, on his first foreign foray he has achieved the feat of upsetting one of his country’s key allies, the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel.

    She took a decidedly dim view of his intention to hold an electioneering rally today at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate — traditionally used as a backdrop only for non-partisan speeches of global significance. Faced with this rebuff, Obama chose the city’s Victory Column as an alternative venue.

    How darkly ironic that the column was moved to its present position by Adolf Hitler as a symbol of Germany’s superiority and its victories against Denmark, Austria and France. Oh, dear. Is this what Obama means by ‘change we can believe in’?

    Of course, in many respects the enthusiasm for this charismatic man is understandable.

    Obama preaches a seductive message of change for an America which is terminally disaffected with President Bush — not just over the Iraq war, but over the handling of such catastrophes as Hurricane Katrina and, above all, the dive in the U.S. economy.

    All this spells failure, depression and cynicism. Obama by contrast embodies success, optimism and idealism.

    Sprinkled with glitter like a latter-day JFK, he is seen as the representative of a new kind of politics that repudiates the sordid failures of the past.

    Americans are, after all, the most optimistic of people. They just don’t do doom and gloom. So a politician who tells them ‘Yes we can’, and says he stands for ‘the audacity of hope’ gets them whooping and hollering for more.

    But such Obamania should worry us all, for it is based on emotion and, where the Democrat candidate is concerned, the normal faculties of judgment appear to have been suspended.

    Important questions about Obama’s judgment, consistency and honesty are not being asked, let alone answered.

    He has got away with the fact that for 20 years he belonged to a church which preaches black power racism against white people.

    He disavowed his long-time mentor, pastor Jeremiah Wright, only when his extreme views could no longer be ignored — despite the fact that Wright is a supporter of Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the black power Nation of Islam.

    The media brush all this aside as ‘personal details’ which are of no interest to voters. But if, say, John McCain’s pastor and mentor had turned out to support the Ku Klux Klan and his church was found to be sympathetic to its philosophy, his candidacy would have been defenestrated and rightly so.

    Equally troubling is the way Obama has flip-flopped on issue after issue. From his brief Senate voting record, he appears to be the most Left-wing presidential candidate America has ever had.

    Yet once he clinched the nomination, he repositioned himself as a Centrist to win the election.

    So while once he was for a ban on handguns, he is now against it. Once for safeguards on wiretaps, he is now against them.

    Once he was for a fixed timetable for withdrawal from Iraq — but now that the acclaimed U.S. commander General Petraeus has said this would be deeply unwise, Obama claims he proposes no ‘rigid’ adherence to a timetable. This is just more of the same old politics of dissembling.

    And yet this is the man — so similar to the early Blair — who is supposed to represent an end to opportunism, replaced by the politics of integrity.

    What is even more disturbing, however, is that these matters are being brushed aside or ignored –because so many people want desperately to believe in him.

    Such a suspension of disbelief calls to mind someone else closer to home: Princess Diana, who also inspired hysterical adoration because she, too, became an icon of idealism — challenging the established order.

    A deeply attractive figure, she seemed to embody hope for a better universe by appealing to emotion rather than reason.

    Love, as embodied by ‘the queen of people’s hearts’, was held to be the key to a better, kinder, gentler world. There was even a sense that her mere touch was sufficient to heal the afflicted.

    It was, of course, all pure fantasy. People had fallen for a carefully spun image which bore little relation to the manipulative and unstable woman who was the real Diana, but which spoke to something deep inside them.

    So it is with Obama. Americans’ natural optimism makes them want to believe that, as a black man with a Muslim background (another thing he has cleverly obfuscated), he can heal all wounds, including the U.S.’s history of racism, and bring peace to the world just by being who he is.

    They see in his attractiveness a flattering reflection of themselves. He doesn’t embarrass them; he makes them feel proud.

    He is not a Texas oilman who can’t string a sentence together: he has oratorical skills to die for.

    He is not old, frail and nondescript like McCain, but young, vigorous and attractive. He is, in short, everything they want America — and themselves — to be.

    His very incoherence over policy, the fact we don’t know what he really believes in, enables people to project onto him their hopes and desires. He is the perfect fantasy politician. He is America’s very own Princess Obama.

    But, of course, the belief that a handsome prince can magic away the troubles of the world is infantile. The idea that there is a new kind of sanitised politics by which problems can be solved without having to make hard choices is a dangerous delusion.

    To be fair, there are signs that light may be beginning to dawn in America. Despite — or perhaps because of — the saturation media coverage of Obama’s world tour, his poll numbers are showing no bounce.

    This may be because people are beginning to see the media manipulation, with Obama refusing to answer journalists’ questions and participating only in ‘faked’ interviews by the military in Iraq.

    While America may be wising up, however, Britain is about to have its Princess Obama moment. Get out the smelling salts and prepare to swoon.
