This is awesome.
They haven’t been matching for the last five years. I wonder when he’ll start trying to reconcile the two.
“That woman?”
Her name is Medea Benjamin, Mr. President. I suggest you learn it. You’ll be hearing from her again, and she has more integrity and courage in her little finger than you do in your entire being.
Watched that last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Greenwald was his usual self, grounded in logic and the facts, and he picked apart Maher, who was also his usual self, pretending to be a voice of reason while spewing his weekly Islamophobic rhetoric.
Good Lord. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Mr. Weiss. I just finished reading the articles by Mike Coogan and Glenn Greenwald and the text of the actual bill.
I live in Pennsylvania and Democratic Senator Bob Casey, whom I voted for the last two elections, is one of the co-sponsors. The first time he ran, it was against Santorum, so it was an easy choice. After reading his website, though, it’s clear he’s an Israeli-firster. He spouts the usual drivel about Israel being our staunch ally and sharing our values and even has a paragraph about how Israel was justified in using force against the flotilla, which he says was a provocation. I’m going to write to him and let him know that I’m disgusted that he has co-sponsored a bill that discriminates against the citizens of his own country at the behest of a foreign one. I’ll also let him know that I’ll no longer support him at the polls unless he revokes his sponsorship of this garbage.
Agreed, Woody. The line about “helping our fellow human beings” literally made my jaw drop and think to myself, “you gotta be f—— kidding me.”
He buries his morals deep down so that he can continue to heap praise on Israel so as not to invoke the wrath of AIPAC. I wonder how he can look himself in the mirror as one who, as Alex put it, is a “beneficiary of the U.S. civil rights movement.”
Thanks, Alex, for this excellent coverage. Come home safely.
Keep in mind that Obama’s foreign policy isn’t much different from Bush’s. So it’s no surprise that his Secretary of State sounds so much like Dubya’s did.
That wouldn’t come as a surprise at all. The Democrats are just as subservient to the Lobby as the neocons…always have been.
Awesome. $100M spent and nothing to show for it.
