I feel the paranoia… YOU’RE ONE OF *THEM*!
Great Ron Paul speech, but he says the Iraq sanctions killed 50 thousand, i presume he meant 500 thousand ?

Interesting to kick of the Doherty interview with a reference to Hedges’ new book. I just saw Hedges last Friday on his book tour, and he was–completely without irony–listing the Supreme Court decision among the long list of things going wrong in the U.S (everything else on the list was pretty much dead on, by the way), as he announced his refusal to support Obama, opting for Nader.
Tom,
Did Hedges get any cheers from the crowd when mentioned the SC ruling on guns? I can almost forgive him, though. The guy has seen a lots and lots of gun violence in his day.
No, Mike, that wasn’t an applause line. He received scant applause at the end of the whole rant, though, when he put the punctuation mark on it: “How long are you going to let Obama kick you around as he says one thing and votes another?”
In other words, the bigger point was to justify his refusal to get behind Obama. Those who applauded him for that were the older ones in the crowd, who’ve been around long enough to know. I think Obama supporters there also knew in their hearts that he’s right about their guy. They didn’t boo or express other verbal disappointment; they just didn’t applaud.
Actually, what I meant to say was, did Hedges get “boos from the crowd.” Probably more gun-takers in the crowd, I imagine.
I see the what you mean about booing vs. cheering, and you’re right that this crowd would generally take gun control for granted, but there wasn’t a break for a specific response to this particular comment.
Gotcha.
Btw,
Steven Hatfill, former suspect in the anthrax investigations, won his defamation suit against the government. He’ll get over $5 million. More here:

Good show sirs! We got a couple new listeners.
Sorry for the missing spaces in the last post.
Scott, you should see if you can get Chris Floyd on again sometime soon. You mentioned the Somalia massacre the US Government has been participating in and he’s probably covered it the most out of anybody.
Do you have a link to that Ron Paul audio you played by the way Scott?
Paul,
Re: Floyd. You’re damn right.
