  1. Colmes’ regular wingnut callers always seem to have a chip on their shoulders. Attitude.

    There’s something very dark behind that. I’m not sure what it is, but I know it ain’t pretty.

  2. Hate.

    Whatever the darkness in the wingnut calls is, it’s got something to do with hate. Hate for Colmes. Hate for liberals. Hate for others. Hate for … themselves?

    Sure glad, I don’t have access to that HATE channel. I’m much more open to debate.

  3. ” Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin, who just returned from a visit to Afghanistan, discusses the war with Alan.”

    Women in Afghanistan most assuredly face the risk of losing a lot of their freedoms and safety if we pull out of there too quickly. A troop surge to stabilize the country may be a great idea, if we can get it across to the locals that’s what we’re trying to do, and that we AREN’T trying to make them a vassal nation.

    But I have my doubts that we can pull that off, and think that focusing on disrupting al-Qaeda in Afghanistan is a goal that is more achievable. A troop surge could be more effective in that endeavor also.

  4. • Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) responds to the Republican claim that Gen. Stanley McChrystal should “put [Nancy Pelosi] in her place.”

    Some overwhelming portion of the intense animosity toward Nancy Pelosi is because she is a woman.

    • On Operation Enduring Freedom’s eight-year anniversary, is the nation’s most vocal anti-war group rethinking its calls for a troop pullout? Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin, who just returned from a visit to Afghanistan, discusses the war with Alan.

    Well I’m not Code Pink, but just some guy, but I was actually pro-war just in so far as this war from the very beginning but they never have responded to this rather simple question as one of the funders of this war:

    What is the time line for withdrawal?

    • Alan examines the latest developments in the health care reform debate.

    Historically speaking these kind of matters are decided within the DNC.

    So we should figure that out, because Van Jones said it all when asked about this topic.
