The Arrest Of Amy Goodman
Amy Goodman, the host of Democracy Now, was arrested in St. Paul when she went to inquire about the previous arrest of two of her producers, Sharif Abedel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar.
All three were violently manhandled by law enforcement officers. Abdel Kouddous was slammed against a wall and the ground, leaving his arms scraped and bloodied. He sustained other injuries to his chest and back. Salazar’s violent arrest by baton-wielding officers, during which she was slammed to the ground while yelling, “I’m Press! Press!,” resulted in her nose bleeding, as well as causing facial pain. Goodman’s arm was violently yanked by police as she was arrested…
Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher told Democracy Now! that Kouddous and Salazar were arrested on suspicion of rioting, a felony. While the three have been released, they all still face charges stemming from their unlawful arrest. Kouddous and Salazar face pending charges of suspicion of felony riot, while Goodman has been officially charged with obstruction of a legal process and interference with a “peace officer.”
Democracy Now sees this as a violaton of freedom of the press and the First Amendment rights of journalists.
If anyone deserves to be arrested and prosecuted for treason its Amy Goodman & Co.
She should be saying how tolerant the USA is towards her anti American agenda and their continual lies and hatred against the USA

Alan, before you blow your foot off again you might want to check this article from Zombie, a photo blogger, who was there and photoed most of what actually happened.

Hey Bradley you must be so proud of those big strong boys in blue with their oh soooo big sticks.
Good job they’ve got all that body armor on cause old women can get real rowdy sometimes.
Doesn’t it just make you feel proud to live in such a fine, upstanding police state.
I know it sure gets me all hot and tingly
September 2nd, 2008 at 3:32 am
It looked like she wasn’t following instructions to me, pushing back against the police officer. Something tells me she intended to get arrested… “Oh look, cops in riot gear - I’m sure they’ll be patient with me ignoring their instructions and pushing against them.”
September 2nd, 2008 at 3:33 am
JPW: Thats a pretty weird argument to make - are you suggesting that police should be profiling? She should be allowed to disobey instructions because she is an old woman? What about a young guy with a mask? The cops are there to keep things from getting out of hand, surrounded by angry yelling people (who would be angry and yelling regardless of police presence), do you really expect them to cut anybody slack?

If anybody should be prosecuted it should be every damn employee at Fox.There are 4,150 reasons to ban Fox from broadcasting propaganda.The anti-Americans are Fox. Oreilly wants to hang Sen.Obama’s wife… but not just yet.Hannity has a racist,murdering bounty hunter on his show that called a little black girl the N-word.He fights to get his job back.Then there are the several Fox reporters that “joke” about killing Sen.Obama ON THE DAMN AIR. Has America turned into the Confederacy?
September 2nd, 2008 at 4:05 am
Alan, did YOU bail them out?
September 2nd, 2008 at 4:06 am
Is there video of the first arrest?
September 2nd, 2008 at 4:39 am
Hey foxops,
Disobeying instructions, what you going on about? She is a member of the public, who wants to walk into an empty car park.
Dunno about you, but if I was a brave boy in blue an old woman wanted to walk into an empty car park rather than getting all fascist about it, I’d perhaps try speaking to her. After all police are public SERVANTS. i.e they serve the public. It’s not the army. She doesn’t have to OBEY anyone because they have pretty gold strips or a silly star on their hat.
Now call me old fashioned, but I’d like to think of police as human beings rather than big stick armor clad stormtroopers. As a human being they should be able to judge that an old woman is no threat to an empty car park.
As for the rampaging mob of mask clads youths. Didn’t see them anywhere. Just saw lots of men with very tight armor and very big sticks treat ONE old woman with utter disrespect.
I wonder if they got a big shiny medal for it?

This is an example of the slippery slope that the press is riding with this administration. If they need positive coverage or controlled coverage of a story, then the press is given exclusives. If they need to silence the truth, they get arrested like Amy. The problem is “They are guilty before proven innocent.” That’s a violation of all freedoms.

It’s funny how this happen DURING the Democrat’s Convention and you post it during the Republican’s Convention. How nice of you to inform us of this little inconvenient fact, after the fact, to try and link it to us Republicans.
Also during the Democrat’s Convention, Asa Eslocker, an ABC producer, was arrested trying to get pictures of big wig Democrats getting money from lobbyist:
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Conventions/story?id=5668622
Strange how you never talk about this type of police brutality against the free press.
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:40 am
This is hardly explosive. Did anyone see the demonstrators outside the DNC interrupting a Fox News report? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D74Xs1VuYAE People like this are opposed to violence?
1. The police have to be prepared for a riot even if they end up arresting someone who is relatively harmless. A person can be harmless and still break the law.
2. There is a big difference between going to jail for a couple of hours and going to prison.
3. Constantly comparing pedestrian police tactics to what the SS would do lessens the brutality of the Nazis more than it weakens the modern Republican Party.
4. Silence the truth? I can’t think of a time in history when a person has greater access to information. Can you? Doesn’t this simple blog prove it? If this were a totalitarian regime, sites like this wouldn’t even exist.
5. There are plenty of conservatives who don’t like Hannity; like me. If what he does is just persona — I don’t like it.
6. If you want good conservative ideas and thought look at Hugh Hewitt, Mike Rosen, and Thomas Sowell.
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:42 am
When this happened at the Democratic convention, myself and others posted references to liberal sites expressing outrage. Many called it a police state.
Liberals have been complaining about this for years now.
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:47 am
Sorry, I was refering to the Code Pink Girl incident. I am still half asleep.
However, I stand by my statement. You didn’t even report on the Asa Eslocker arrest. Why?
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:50 am
Hey Vince,
Don’t recall saying anything about cock sucking, but if that rocks your boat, go crazy. Each to their own, I say.
Biggators, does it really matter which convention? Surely, what matters is once again the police overacting. Just look at that video and count the brave boys in blue. What exactly is the one old lady doing to warrant being cuffed up?
GOP, people are so tired of Fox spewing forth their nasty propaganda and turning journalism into some Micky mouse, flash bang wallop entertainment, is it surprising they got shouted at. I’m surprised they got off so lightly.
And by the way, thanks for suggesting conservative thinkers with good ideas. I’ve never heard of these guys, but I’m intrigued and I’m going to check them out.

I have to mention this because it’s relevant. Referring to some of the commenters who’ve said this is a wordpress blog, and claimed that, like most blogs, Alan could have closed off the comments, if the former is true, why am I not shown as being logged in? Presently, I am logged in. When I was in the previous form of this blog, my screen name would show in place of the three boxes asking for Name, E-Mail and Website. The format may be the same, but if this is actually a wordpress blog, I’d like to know what validates it as being so.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:00 am
Note that I don’t challenge that he could have closed the comments, nor am I judging that, I just don’t know that this blog is, in fact, a wordpress.com/org blog.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:01 am
Like Democracy Now! or not, they are a self-interested party, so I think other, less ideological, and more neutral sources on this matter would be good showcase.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:12 am

September 2nd, 2008 at 10:17 am
Gee…I don’t recall Alan caring about the ABC Reporter who was manhandled and placed in a choke-hold by the Denver police because he was videotaping from a public sidewalk.
Better late than never, I guess.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:33 am
The video clearly shows that she was not obeying the police request and was resisting.
I can see what a clear example of Police brutality on the video that I am horrified that anyone would even post it.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:16 am
What an idiot. The cop told her to stay on the sidewalk and she kept challenging him. She’s lucky she didn’t get her fool head clubbed in.
These cops are already in a dangerous situation. Yesterday we had delegates attacked. That means people are attempting to interfere with our process of electing a President using violence. There is no way we can allow that to go on unchecked and expect to remain a democracy.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:24 am
Since last night the stooge and fascists employed by Alan Colmes have been violating my right to free speech by preventing my posts from appearing on this site.

September 2nd, 2008 at 11:55 am
All the rhetoric and hate-spewing aside, the fact remains that this is exactly the type of behavior that we accuse and try to castigate other countries for. When did this become acceptable? People come onto this blog and spew whatever from their comfortable chair in their comfortable home. But how quickly their tune would change if it was their door that stood between them and a SWAT team. There for no other reason than that they visited the wrong website, or expressed an opinion that was critical of the powers that be. Condoning this behavior puts us all at risk. It is pure cowardice. Ben Franklin said: “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:55 am
These black bandana adorned terrorists supported and financed by their democratic puppeteers and George Sorass should be clubbed to death for committing acts of domestic discord. Where were they in Denver when the Democrats had their convention? I’ll tell you where, they were in the convention itself as delegates. Wake up America! What you are seeing in St. Paul is the “New Democratic Party” sustained with members of ELF, PETA, Critical Mass, Code Pink and all the other extremist groups that the democrats of Howard “the Douche” Dean are now beholden to for their support of Barack HUSSEIN Obama. The black masked crew is new incarnation of the Black Panthers, Black Liberation Army, the Weathermen, and the SDS student for a democratic society, what an oxymoron if there ever was one. The groups are the Norm of the new fascist heirarchy led by those such as Nancy Pelosi.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:58 am
Dear Alan,
I am so sorry that Amy Goodman was arrested last night. It is a real shame.
Please remind her that it could worse, she could be pregnant, 17 and the topic of non-stop MSM coverage.
or
Remind her that she could be a Governor, who has been branded a “BAD MOM” by the MSM.
or
She could go into labor, and not do what you thought she should, so you could write a smear about her….
The difference…Ms. Goodman has rights ,Governor Palin ” not so much”…with MSM.
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:05 pm
It figures a “KIKE” like Amy Goodman would think she’s immune to the law. She should be made an example of and be sentenced to the maximum penalty available. I say put her on a chain gang in the hot, midday sun and let her blister and burn until she passes out from exhaustion, then shock back to conciousness with a cattle prod and retun her to work.
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:06 pm
It looks like one less listener for Alan. What is the average daily listener total now, four?
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Seriously, who gives a flying feck. She clearly disobeyed an order by the po po. Plus, I would LOVE to see vids of the other being arrested. Because the cops here in this vid were pretty gentle considering the biddy was bucking them all the way to the bus.
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Hey suntan,
Like your style. Old school brutality at it’s very best. People like you are what makes the good ole US of A such a shining beacon to people around the world. Cattle prodding old woman, is that a new GOP policy or is it just one of those fantasies that gets you all hot and frisky?
Jenn, why don’t you ask suntan on a date? You two together would rock!
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:38 pm
The footage shows Goodman breaking thru a police line. She should know better. Try doing that in South Ossetia.
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:48 pm
“She clearly disobeyed an order…”
Looks that way to me.
“… by the po po.”
Here in New York we call them police officers.
“…the cops here in this vid were pretty gentle…”
No they weren’t being gentle. “Gentle” has nothing to do with it. It appears that the officers were exercising reasonable force.
“I would LOVE to see vids of the other being arrested…”
Apparently you believe that cops should be the instruments of political policy, dishing out retribution like uniformed vigilantes, much like the KGB and the Gestapo. Fortunately, we live in a place called America, where most police try to uphold the rule of law.

The Police Officer gave her two warings to step back and her being a ‘journalist’ played no part in the arrest.

.33 She is given the courtesy to freely speak to the camera.

September 2nd, 2008 at 2:36 pm
I don’t really think that there’s enough information to comment on this situation. We don’t really know why Goodman’s cohorts were arrested except for the vague “suspicion of rioting”. If they really were planning riots, then it’s good that they were arrested to protect public safety. If they were just, as Democracy Now claims, “carrying out journalistic duties”, then there was no reason for any arrest. But since I wasn’t there and everything I’ve heard about this has been opinionated from one side or the other, I don’t have the facts at my disposal to really form an opinion on the matter. I will say, though, that I think that 99% police do their work fairly and admirably.
September 2nd, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Folks, whether you’re Republican or Democrat, the operative word here is “preemptive.” They hadn’t done a THING to get arrested. NOTHING.
This makes my blood turn cold. This just is NOT the Republican Party anymore. They’re THIS MUCH CLOSER to donning brown shirts and convincing schoolchildren to turn in their “liberal” parents for “questioning.”
September 2nd, 2008 at 3:12 pm
I want to see these cops up on brutality charges. This is the worst of what is America right here. Anyone who supports keeping these people quiet is an un-American lunatic who needs to read the Constitution.
September 2nd, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Alan;
Unfortunately, I have to watch you every night just so I can listen to Sean. Why don’t you do everyone a favor and quit! I’m trying to avoid spewing hatred like a typical communist liberal (it’s tough!). How can you continue to cover up for this stupid, racist, Marxist, empty suit, Obama, and, yet, turn around and attack someone like Sarah Palin? You are nothing but a hypocrite! A BALD, liberal, hypocrite! I remember a movie caled, “How To Murder Your Wife”, where, at the end, during a murder trial, Jack Lemon draws a “button” with a piece a chalk and asks the jury, if they knew that pressing the “button” would make their wives disappear, without anyone knowg about it, would they do it? I wish there was a button that I could press that would make all of you stupid liberals disappear, forever, and I don’t even care if everyone knows about it!
Sean needs a new sidekick!

This is just sillyness… Foxnews simply has both sides which automatically means that the ‘right’ side will have more air time than the other networks give, which is almost zero. so just putting equal time for the political right means lots more right wing views.
are you referring to Duane Dog Chapman? no, couldnt be
Knowing how Bill OReilly talks you obviously are claiming he said something when he never said any such thing. this is because the left lacks substance, cant debate the events and has to make up junk
September 2nd, 2008 at 4:31 pm
The cops treated her so nice and so gently and so fairly, for ANYONE to say this was somehow *not* fair? shows how severely unfair such a person who would say such a thing, is.
she, Amy Goodman, is a traitor, a terrorist sympathizer, an anarchist (which means she wants to install anarchy in the USA, overthrowing the existing government and placing something else in place)
the cops are nice and could have whacked her on the head with a stick, tasered her then used pepper spray then handcuffed her so she couldnt wipe her eyes or nose.
Thats what real abuse is. For her to complain that this arrest was illegal or unfair? shows what a liar and hypocrite SHE is and all of YOU lazy slacker liberal pansies who dont know the facts and dont even know why you complain to begin with
someone could have at least B slapped her and told her to shut up! but NO, they were patient and polite and treated her so softly
September 2nd, 2008 at 4:40 pm
OldLefty, are you an anarchist? do you believe the US govt needs to be violently overthrown?
why would you comment that Mein Kempf (translated, think it means “Main Idea”) is something that all conservatives believe?
Dont you agree that Amy Goodman is more aligned politically with Adolf Hitler than even the most fanatical right winger?
September 2nd, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Bradley,
I am NOT an anarchist.
I believe that one of the most beautiful documents EVER written by mankind is the US constitution.
I think that Amy Goodman is more aligned politically with Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and FDR.
I believe that the neo cons are more aligned politically with Adolf Hitler :
I mention Mein Kamph because it is THAT kind of fascism that calls for the belief in “the superiority of the leader’s instincts over abstract and universal reason.”, that we have seen comming from Bush loyalists and apologists, and it is THAT kind of fascism that accuses those who dissent of “treason” .
September 2nd, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Wow, Bradley. You’ll be pleased to know that Palin gave her town’s librarian a hard time because Palin wanted to ban books at the public library.
Maybe your vice-fuhrer will throw some book-burning parties for you in the future. She’ll have the whole Library of Congress at her disposal.

—————
Not true. Watch Brit Hume’s show for an example. Every time he has he “panel discussions” it’s either 3 conservatives sitting there agreeing with each other or, on occasion, 2 conservatives and a “liberal” like Juan Williams or Maura from NPR (working for NPR makes you a liberal on Hume’s show I guess).
Fox & Friends is supposed to be a straight news show although it seems a lot more like 2 hardcore conservatives (Gretchen and Doocy) and one moderate (Kilmeade) spending the whole morning ripping the “liberal media” and all things Democrat. I can’t take any show seriously that alters images of New York Times reporters to make them look like they have a big nose and yellow teeth.
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/07/02/juvenile-fox-news-alters-photos-of-nyt-reporters-as-payback/
Starting at 4 I also feel as if I’m watching GOP TV. Cavuto is a right winger and anybody who watches his show can see that. At least that scumbag Gibson is gone now, but I don’t think that Megyn Kelly has any sort of journalistic integrity and the way that she slants the news is almost as bad as the way that the Fox & Friends “journalists” (read conservative opinion commentators).
Then, if you look at the primetime lineup, you have O’Reilly for an hour, then, probably the most “balanced, H&C. Although on H&C the guest are still about 2/3 conservatives and Republicans. Fox tries to say that Greta’s show is a “liberal show”, but anybody who watches it knows that it’s not really an opinion show at all, and that Greta is very moderate in her views when she expresses them.
Shep Smith’s “Fox Report” is the only show I can stand to watch besides H&C, because Shep is actually a fair reporter of news and does so in an entertaining way. I actually really like his show and his style and it’s too bad more people at Fox don’t take a cue from him.
Alan is right that liberals shouldn’t boycott Fox because all of this needs to change. We NEED more liberals on Fox News so that they can actually live up to their “Fair & Balanced” mantra. However, I don’t think we need to sit here and kid ourselves about Fox’s bias. We don’t just need to encourage more liberals to appear on Fox, we need to pressure Fox into giving liberals a more prominent voice on their network.

From Time:
“As mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. She asked the library how she could go about banning books.”
Palin said some voters thought they [the library books] had inappropriate language in them.
“The librarian was aghast.”
When the librarian refused, Palin threatened to fire the librarian.

abstract and universal REASON?????????
this kind of concept is the opposite of Christianity, in fact those who promote humanism and universalism where what is accepted as or voted in to be true, becomes truth.
Its not about actually having truth because in the antiChrist world of humanism, there is no absolute truth, if there was you couldnt even be sure it was the truth, so these religious people who believe in their “God” and read their “bible” are… [and then the humanists/progressives will denounce Christians as evil and the enemy of mankind, etc]
We elect a President to be a decision maker, its the peoples’ choice to say this persons character and accomplishments lead me to cast my doubtedness in their favor
with the GOP we have Christians who believe the bible is Gods truth; Or we have progressive Obama who has belonged to a non Christian phoney church, one teaching there is no real truth in the bible so you can use the black church to initiate scandalous endeavors
Its never been a dispute or disagreement itself that warrants the accusation of treason, that is more phoneyness; to claim that disagreement with GW Bushes beliefs means treason is more sillyness you libs should talk in real terms if you want to discuss it;
treason has to do with actively seeking to destroy a government.
This is Amy Goodmans dream. She is NOT like FDR or Jefferson because she operates by way of lies, deception, etc
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Sarah, “Maybe your vice-fuhrer will throw some book-burning parties for you in the future. She’ll have the whole Library of Congress at her disposal.”
Are you saying that book burning is bad? if yes, then quantify that belief, why is it bad? what common sense principle does it violate?
maybe its a book with mold on it, and to be safe it should be burned.
Yes the DNC aksed its supporters to throw up every vile and sick innuendo out there and see what sticks or solidifies.
you dont sound as if you want the whole story told, only the empty accusation
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Michael, “we need to pressure Fox into giving liberals a more prominent voice on their network.
”
first of all there are a bit more right wingers, its not perfectly 50.000% and 50.000% left/right but its very close, the other networks are 90% liberal or more and 10% or less conservative, cnn is about 98% liberal/DNC talking points.
Foxnews SUCKS. they waste a great opportunity to be a good news channel. why dont they have the foxnews singers and launch a new tv channel where they air annoying jingles, most commercials and promo feeds 24/7; then convert foxnews to being more of a professional news channel.
Shepard Smith is a liberal democrat who injects his bias, his LIBERAL whiney bias, the guy sickens me; for example he is talking “news” and mentions Irak and WMD in some news story. he interjects his belief that quote “there never were ANY wmd’s in Irak, ever to begin with” unquote. said in a factual presentation, Bush is a liar.
So your claim that Shep is fair? not a chance. when Hurricane Katrina was going he was crying and wailing and someone should have B slapped him on national tv; with this recent Urrican there is Shep whining again about how its raining, no we wont have any news we will be staying on the air to talk about the rain and how rain is wet, I suppose…
Greta is a hardcore democrat, why would she get interviews with the Clintons? Greta has some sick fascination with the macabre? yeah thats butch, dude.
Brit Hume has the real world news, fair, balanced and unafraid.
why should he waste our time having lying liar liberals on there to hog the microphone and bloviate and stall and derail the discussion? NPR is a far left wing wacko outfit. Juan Williams is able to discuss things in a professional way and share the liberal POV. any more libs and they would just be saying no you conservatives are wrong, blah blah blah when there is nothing to back up such a position

Bradley,
The GOP could not be further from the teachings of Jesus Christ. They are the Pharisees and money changers that Jesus threw OUT of the temple.
Everything you say is ONLY your opinion. You don’t KNOW anymore than anyone else.
If people who go to Obama’s church think that YOUR church is a non Christian phoney church, one teaching that there is no real truth OUTSIDE THEIR NARROW INTERPRETATION of the bible so THEY can use the church to initiate scandalous endeavors, their belief would be as valid or invalid as yours.
The humanists/progressives don’t denounce Christians as evil and the enemy of mankind, etc](many of them ARE Christians, although not YOUR brand)…. it seems that it is YOU who hate liberals.
Through lying, spying, subverting the fourth amendment
destroying records and using the Justice department for political reasons, the Bush administration has sought to destroy the US government.
Amy Goodman just reports what the corporate media is afraid to because they have too much money and deregulation tied up in the GOP.
And THAT is the great loop of the government, corporations and the media, designed to keep We The People, OUT of the loop.

Lefty you have demostrated many times to have no idea what the teachings of the Bible are.
September 2nd, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Just so you know, “Mein Kampf” translates to “My Struggle (or Battle, Fight, Campaign)” and, as is clearly demonstrated by a number of comments here, the far right and its mouthpieces have certainly embraced to great effect the usages of propaganda, as espoused by the author of that tome. (”The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.” - Adolph Hitler, “Mein Kampf”)

I know enough to know they are NOT reflected by the GOP.

Who cares. I dont , i’m not a Republican. I support whatever Candidate is for violating the Constitution the least.

Mary G.. take it a step further…
Mein Kampf = My Struggle = Jihad
Hitler was in alliance with Palestinian Arab Leader, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
Hitler admired Islam and had wished that Germany had an Islamic tradition because it’s Christian one inhibited the Germans from being fierce warriors.
Many Muslims had speculated that Hitler might be the Mahdi, that’s how inspired by him they were.
Persia changed its name to Iran in order to appeal to Germany.
Mein Kampf is currently one of the best selling books in the Arab World.
=====
Conservatives are against Radical Islam and in favor of aggressively destroying them.
Leftist scumbags are doing all they can to leave the US defenseless and do what they can to silence any public critic of Jihad or Shaira law.
Leftist scumbags are the Useless (as opposed to Useful) Idiots of global Jihadi war.

@Bradley
cnn is about 98% liberal/DNC talking points.
Care to back this one up? The only opinion show on CNN itself is Lou Dobbs, and I certainly wouldn’t call him a liberal. They do have Jack Cafferty on every hour during the situation room, but he doesn’t actually have his own show.
The only other opinion show on the CNN networks is Glenn Beck on Headline News.
I know that you’re going to start whining about how left wing people like Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper is, but the fact is that they are journalists and not opinion commentators. You just don’t like them because they report truthful stories that are inconvenient for conservatives AND liberals.
why should he waste our time having lying liar liberals on there to hog the microphone and bloviate and stall and derail the discussion? NPR is a far left wing wacko outfit. Juan Williams is able to discuss things in a professional way and share the liberal POV.
Oh, brother. Maybe they should let liberals speak so that they can be, say, fair and balanced?
Far left wing wacko outfit you say? Just because you have let Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly corrupt you into thinking that any news organization that reports news that is inconvenient for conservatives is a “far left wing wacko organization” doesn’t mean it’s true. It’s certainly not recognized as such by liberals. And this just in.
Juan Williams DOESN’T represent liberal views. Half the time he just sits there as the “liberal” and nods with the conservatives, and the point of that is to make the audience believe “See, these left wingers are so kooky that even the liberal realizes it.” He’s one of the Susan Estrich types. “Embarrassed” by the “behavior” of other liberals and there to affirm what conservatives are saying is long with the “far left” (read: to the left of Newt Gingrich)

Amy didn’t realize what was going on in the mind of the police when she arrived on scene. She just put herself in there knowing it was a tense situation. Alan, when Amy joked about the description of “Peace Officer” you know she has very biased agenda. Don’t let a redical lefty like Amy Goodman twist your show.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Bradley, you’re amazing! I’ve never heard such breathtaking ignorance.
Have you ever read a book, have you ever left the good ole’ US of A? Have you ever considered another world view without spewing forth insults? Have you ever left your bubble world and tried getting your information from another news source?
You know that most people in the States and pretty much everyone outside accepts that Fox is a right wing propaganda machine. I don’t see why you feel the need to deny it.
I suggest, you spend one entire month reading another English language news services. The BBC might be a good place to start.

Go on broaden your viewpoint.
I dare ya

Of course she was biased in her joke, Michael 2, she was personally effected, and that’s likely to influence a lot of people. That better explains the basis of her sarcasm on the irony of the term “peace” in regard to peace officers and how she and two Democracy Now! producers were treated by said peace officers, than your apparent assumptions that she purposefully instigated her arrest and alleged mistreatment and well as lied.
Implying that Goodman has an anti police agenda is unfair.
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:46 am
Correction, and lied about alleged mistreatment.
Some would say alleged should not be included, but I’m not yet comfortable speaking with certainty on the matter.

@JPW
It’s no use trying to convince him. Any news outlet, even one as world renowned as the BBC, that isn’t Fox or the Washington Times is a “Far left wacko outfit”. Bill O’Reilly said so.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:40 am
That’s right, Michael. Besides, we all know only people Bills with a Scottish last name should be blindly believed.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:15 am
only Bills.

Vince P, I think I’m missing something from one of your earlier posts….Do you MEAN to misspell “librarian” or were your home-skuled?
