"Hucksterteeth?"
Imagine poor and homeless children having to say the following prayer as they go to bed: "Now I lay me down to sleep; I pray the Lord to keep me safe from Hucksterteeth!" Click on to my name above to review the archives if you want to remember the Republicans bringing us: The "Hucksterbee" trap!!! Now the poor and homeless cannot save their own blood from the Republicans and the Democrats that are Republican moles that serve them!! The following is a reprint of an e-mail sent by me on March 13, 2008 which expains itself: "To whom it may concern: I hereby initiate the appeal process of BECKA Management, LLC as well as to MSHDA, HUD and CACS in your relationship jointly and severally regarding the letter sent to me by TJ Stone of BECKA, dated: March 10, 2008; the following being a reprint of the text of said letter: 'Dear Client: The following paperwork is needed before any action can be taken in your case. 1. Provide a notarized statement stating how many times you donate and the amount that you receive per donation per month. Plasma donations are a non-taxable income by the State of Michigan, but are considered income by HUD in the housing choice voucher program. Complete and return this paperwork within 14 days of the above date. If you have any questions, please call.' A conflict of interest is revealed in the aforementioned BECKA letter between the State of Michigan and HUD regarding the status of plasma donations. I hereby request that: 1) An attorney be appointed to represent me concerning this appeal since my U.S. Constitution , fourth amendment and fifth amendment rights are now in jeopardy as a result of said letter from BECKA as well as the rights of the poor and homeless which makes this an issue of sufficient public interest that the appointment of an attorney is merited. (I explain how to view the archives as is explained above in this section of the letter for additional justification of said merit). 2) An extention of time be granted by BECKA so that I do not have to comply with the demands of their involved letter to me until after the appeal is completed or at all in the event I prevail in said appeal. 3) I be returned to client status with Capital Area Community Services, Inc. to help me protect my rights as well as the rights of the poor and homeless. 4) The due process of the issues in the below e-mails be completed by BECKA and CACS with deliberate speed as the law requires. (below e-mails not included here for our readers for the sake of brevity but are evidence of abuse and neglect by the housing for some of the homeless program) Please answer this e-mail by e-mail at your earliest convenience. My address for your records is: 740 Edgemont Blvd., Apt. 8, Lansing, MI 48917. My phone number is: (517) 580-8602." The poor and homeless have already been reduced down to nothing by corrupt public officials and robber baron employers! Protect the poor and homeless from having their blood exploited by the government by e-mailing Senator Gretchen Whitmer of the Michigan Legislature (who is one of the parties who received a copy of the aforementioned e-mail) at: SenGWhitmer@senate.michigan.gov Senator Whitmer's office phone number is: (517) 373-1734 for anyone who would like to call her. Failing to intervene now means that being exploited by the government for skin grafts and organ transplants are next if not already!! The logical extreme of all this is to be exploited by the government to the extent that only one's head is left in a petri-dish!!!

Good morning folks.
DCCC recuses Meeks and Wasserman Schultz.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/3/15/...
I've been hearing Wasserman Schultz trash Howard a lot lately. I used to like her but now I really dis-trust her.
John wrote: "I guess I understand why Obama is wearing his religion on his sleeve, but I still can't approve in a nation that constitutionally separates church and state,\."
He's religious. How does it affect you in any way? Is irreligiosity some kind of criterion for selecting a president?

by nj mom [Subscribe] Sat Mar 15, 2008 at 06:11:12 AM PDTI've been concerned for a while that the Obama/Clinton contest is becoming a surrogate battle between the Dean and McAuliffe wings of the DNC. It is a battle between those that believe in the "important states" vs. "the other 40", between DLCers and DFAers, between an addiction to corporate/special interest money and those that believe that small donors in vast numbers are democracy at its most powerful.
What I read in the NYT today, makes me concerned that McAuliffe and those that he represents are trying to ambush Dean using Clinton donors.
The NetRoots helped Dean get where he is today. With the DNC coffers very low right now, he is under attack. He needs us.
More below the fold...
Top post? Uh, whoa, it makes no sense to me. And I have to go to work so I'll try to piece it together later on.
Obama and his pastor -- this worries me. A friend who was an Obama supporter told me yesterday she now will not vote for him because she finds his pastor scary. (She's not for HC or McCain either so I guess she's staying home or voting Nader).
I told her if I were African-American I would probably feel the same exact way and that he really doesn't bother me. She remains unconvinced. Hopefully Barack is really good at damage conrol on this one.
Have a great Saturday!

Sen, Obama's forthright response to the Wright statements. He has urged that it be made available to interested parties.
"Asking for money back - hurting the DNC's efforts in 2008, not just in the Presidential, but in races all up and down the ballot - is the most destructive way to try to influence the situation with the Florida delegates. It's beyond childish - play by my rules or I'm taking my ball and going home."
JudyforDean (continued from last thread) --
If you're going to promote a movie about the rabidly anti-semitic and anti-American Rachel Corrie, let's be clear on who she was and what she represented. There is NOTHING about Corrie's life or actions that are in harmony with DFA, the Democratic Party, Howard Dean or anyone else who opposes racism.
People remember her as a college student who got herself killed jumping onto a mound of dirt being moved by an IDF bulldozer. She did so after ignoring repeated warnings to keep a safe distance, since the driver couldn't see clearly outside the cab. The bulldozer was collapsing tunnels used by Palestinian terrorists to smuggle weapons from Egypt into Gaza. Weapons to be used for one thing: mass murder of random, Israeli civilians. Corrie can't even be a Darwin Award winner; she was a combat belligerent.
Corrie was an organizer of the International Solidarity Movement, which harbored known terrorists Shadi Sukiya and Marwan Barghouti, and which openly advocates violence against Israelis and the destruction of the Jewish state. She was no peacenik -- in a West Bank demonstration organized by Hamas, at which she literally screamed for violence, she burned an American flag (just because this activity is legal doesn't mean it isn't despicable):
While ISM claims to be a humanitarian organization dedicated to the principles of nonviolent resistance, they don't extend nonviolence to Jews.
After Corrie's death, her parents demanded, on the pages of anti-Semitic web sites, that the world mourn her; but not once have they uttered even a single word of sympathy for the families of the innocent victims of mass-murderers their daughter was protecting.
(Posted after comment #11)
There are bound to be defections among some fence sitters for Obama. With few exceptions, people have come to regard the confluence of religion and politics in church to mean a sermon against abortion rights and gay marriage, or a palmcard with a bunch of right wing geeks on it. There's been institutional amnesia affecting the concept that church communties can be, and sometimes are, agents for social change and assistance to the poor, the "least among us."
Great diary with an important message, linda. Thanks for the link.

Eleven Hawaii Senate Chairs and Vice Chairs Cosponsor Resolution asking FDA
By Stephen Fox, 3/13/2008 10:49:31 AM
It resolves that given the enormous amount of evidence that has been compiled concerning the neurodegenerative harm it can cause, that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is requested to rescind approval of aspartame immediately on a phase-out basis over six months to one year.
We are very pleased to note that this is the strongest legislative document concerning aspartame ever presented anywhere in the world.
On March 12, another resolution, HCR132, introduced by Rep. Josh Green, M.D., Chairman of the House Committee on Health, was approved by its first committee (Health) and moves on to the next (Consumer Protection and Commerce).

Watching Olbermann play all those pastor's tape last night was really disturbing to me. . .
UNTIL we realized that getting the whole story out now was the reason Olbermann showed up last night on a night off and do it his way, the right way, the open way, get it all out there way.
Getting the story out now was a good thing and just what was needed for these reasons:
1. It destroys the attacks that insinuated Obama is a Muslim. Now everyone paying attention should see he is obviously a Christian. (Not that Muslims are in any way not just as good.)
2. By playing the tapes now and having Obama openly discuss his Christian religion it pretty much negates any strength it would have for McCain because by then it would be old, stale, already-addressed news. Not only that, but JM were to use them, it would give Obama a reason to openly discuss his Christian religion all over again.
3. If there are any Evangelicals out there left over from the collapse of the religious right coalition or any other undecideds, this gives them someone to vote for.
Lots of times people will make a statement contrary to fact just to see how it will be received. i think the greatest kindness is to just give them an honest answer about your own attitude. Many people are so used to being punished for holding opinions with which others disagree that they are reluctant to share what they honestly feel.
I'm on my way to make a donation to the DNC.
The Clinton machine can't be allowed to win at this stage of the game.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is one of HIllary's most zealous supporters. she is also one of Rep. Wexler's most zealous opponents of his Impeachment efforts.
McCauliff?....well, we all know......
So send Howard some support, we've got his back right?
fred - I've never used artificial sweeteners. Yuck. I use natural Agave if I need some sweetness in my coffee or tea.
The Wright Stuff questions why the Huckster's sermons have never been scrutinized in the MSM and he was a Presidential candidate. Hypocrisy.

If individuals seeking public assistance are being pressured to report the miserable amounts they are being paid for plasma or blood extractions, that's really disgusting. There shouldn't be a market for people's bodily fluids to begin with and it irks me that donated blood is then sold to the end users at a profit.
Hello again,
Regarding evolution, I remember reading that some scientists who studied fish and birds concluded that they spent most of their time fighting over territory, food, and control of females. If true, so much for the harmony among species.
It occurred to me if anyone is interested from the last thread and the NPR segment on Anactica, that maybe the person who stole the zuchinis, was also the person who gave her the orange. Ah, irony. Was it Jonathan Swift who said the human race was the only species who laughed at itself and needed to, or was it Mark Twain?
And then, Thanks again, Keith Olbermann for truth telling. Hillary Clinton has used SCHIP as a credential when Sentaors say, not only did she have nothing to do with writing it, the White House opposed it. Also, the Belfast peace conference that never occurred and she never attended, but used as her credential in foreign experience again. Why is it she has to lie to persuade others to vote for her? And, I'm grateful for people who research these things. They are so needed.
With respect to Obama's pastor: Jonathan Alter seemed to make a big deal that he had married Barack and Michelle. I think back to the Catholic priest who married my husband and me. All I recall from the ceremony was that I was supposed to worship my husband like Christ and have children as numerous as grapes on the vine. Not exactly relevant anymore, I think.
Supposedly "Green" Products Could Be Toxic
By Dan Shapley
Nearly half the supposedly "natural" or "green" soaps shampoos and other consumer products tested by the Organic Consumers Association have an ingredient that could cause cancer, according to a new report....
The terms "green," "natural," and even "organic" (if not accompanied by the USDA-certified seal) are unregulated, so manufacturers and marketers have free rein in using them by their own definition....

Senator, Obama's forthright response
-------------
Thanks Tom for reference to Obamas last politically correct statements.
Those who still believe that change everyone in this country seems to be so eager for, is possible WITHOUT THE FIGHT between forces having clear and unambiguously different views on this countrys legacy should concede, better sooner than later, imo, that such possibility exists in their dreams only.
Truth is not a commodity with negotiated price.

Seizure Risk Prompts Change in Vaccination Guidelines
ATLANTA, March 14 -- An apparent increased risk of febrile seizures has led the CDC to soften one of its recommendations on immunizing children against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella with a combination vaccine...
The Vaccine Safety Datalink, the CDC said, showed a signal of increased risk for seizure among children ages 12 to 23 months who were given the tetravalent vaccine, compared with those who got the trivalent vaccine....
The increased rates were seen seven to 12 days after vaccination...

For months I have been unable to have two of our credit cards authorized on the DNC website. I have complained over and over again, get no answer from their technical people, nothing. So I am not inclined to send another check.
Three times in the last two weeks both of these cards were accepted at Obama's website and various online stores that I frequent often.
The DNC needs to get my problem resolved because it may be affecting countless other would-be contributors who also are not getting any answers to their problems.
Has anyone else had a problem with contributing online at the DNC? The last time I asked here there were no responses.
#26, former, I cannot think of a more honorable response. He was loyal to a man who was his pastor and friend, whom he respected. He also repudiated the comments as extreme as not something he agreed with. He then gave a rationale for why the minister spoke the way he did.
I can't think of a more rational, humane, honest, and respectiful response. He could have trashed the minister, denied him respect, and denied his friendship. He didn't.
We will never win against the forces of rapacity and destruction by becoming them. What's the saying, I am become the enemy I have despised? We have all kinds of wisdom that says by using the same techniques of our enemies, we will lose. Think of Buddha, Lao Tzu, Christ, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Chief Joseph, etc. We have to be wiser, more humane, and live those principles we espouse.

=============================
I have had problems with that, but I have had problems logging in to the blog. Sometimes it works and sometimes I get a message saying that I am "not allowed to post" or something like that. I've been emailing them many times and it happens less now, but still happens.
JOan - How 'bout you call in a donation? It's strange that you can't donate online.
Hey Phil Franci is perfect! It's actually very close to my surname :)
Off to read the threads from yesterday.
Tom wrote (of Obama):
He's religious. How does it affect you in any way? Is irreligiosity some kind of criterion for selecting a president?
Of course not. A candidate's religion (or lack of it) should not be an issue in a country whose constitution expicitly declares that Church and State are separate.
It just disappoints me when politicians blat on about their relationship with God. Bush of course, is the most egregious (and hypocritical) of God-blatters.
A politician's religion (or lack of it) should be a private and personal matter

The test of how well he can compete against McCain is not what they can throw at Obama, but how well he can respond, to whatever they throw at him.
How Obama responds to attacks is important. You can't win elections by how well you respond. You win by puttig your opponent on the defensive. Obama will need to do that or get someone on the ticket who can.
Fred wrote:

If it were only that simple. Don't forget that ~40% of Americans still believe that Saddam was harboring al Qaeda and that he was in on 9/11, despite irrefutable evidence to the contrary. They're swallowing the Bush-Cheney-McCain crap that we're "fighting them in Iraq so we won't have to fight them here"
The same morons probably believe that "Hussein" Obama is a radical Muslim provocateur, despite irrefutable evidence to the contrary.
Once the smears are out there, they don't go away, especially with the corrupt media's perverted "balancing" of lies and truth, giving both equal weight.

...With few exceptions, people have come to regard the confluence of religion and politics in church to mean a sermon against abortion rights and gay marriage,....
============================
abortion and gay marriage are not "rights" or "choices" per se, in the legal sense, but transcend from the right to privacy - "choice" is something an individual defines for her/himself.
People have private feelings about such things, such feelings having nothing to do with the law. Liberals would be wise not to alienate some individuals with politically-biased terminology.
I like Obama because I think he understands this.
German Scientist Exposes Chemtrails As Military Operations
Rami Nagel
Natural News
March 14, 2008
A TV news report from Germany available at YouTube (see video at left) confirmed that the German Military is manipulating the climate in Germany. As a result scientists have filed a lawsuit against the government for climate manipulation.
The video concludes, "We can state with a 97% certainty that we have on our hands chemical trails (chemtrails) comprised by fine dust containing polymers and metals, used to disrupt radar signals."
The purpose of chemtrails, which are well documented over the United State and other parts of the world, according to researchers, is to manipulate the weather. Karsten Brandt, German meteorologist states, "The Federal Army is Manipulating the Meteorological maps."
The disruption of radar signals is the main purpose theorizes Mr. Brandt in the interview. "I was surprised that this artificial cloud was so wide-spread. The radar images are stunning considering the needed tons of dispersed elements - although, the federal army claims that only small amounts of material were propagated. The military heads claim that the substances used are not harmful."
Johannes Remmel, German Green party representative states, "The government must provide explanations to the unsuspecting population." While radar is tracking suspicious aircraft, the Germany Military then uses counterfeit satellite imagery to hide their operations.
In Germany, weather manipulation is prohibited, and I would likewise believe that it is prohibited in the U.S. as well.
Since Chemtrails are so widespread, I would rule out the idea that this is just military performing operations to disrupt radar signals as part of some sort of drill.
The forefront of these operations in the United States appears to be the US Navy, as detailed in "Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism & Toxic Warfare," by Dr. Len Horowitz. Many government watchdogs claim global depopulation, the targeted reduction of the world’s population by two-thirds, is secretly the reason behind chemtrail spraying.

A Vicious Circle Ending In A Systemic Financial Meltdown
Mike Whitney
Information Clearing House
March 14, 2008
In his prepared statement, Bernanke announced that the Fed would add $200 billion to the financial system to shore up banks that have been battered by mortgage-related losses. The news was greeted with jubilation on Wall Street where traders sent stocks skyrocketing by 416 points, their biggest one-day gain in five years.
"It’s another round of the credit crisis. Some markets are getting worse than January this time. There is fear that something dramatic will happen and that fear is feeding itself," Jesper Fischer-Nielsen, interest rate strategist at Danske Bank, Copenhagen; Reuters
Yesterday’s action by the Federal Reserve proves that the banking system is insolvent and the US economy is at the brink of collapse. It also shows that the Fed is willing to intervene directly in the stock market if it keeps equities propped up. This is clearly a violation of its mandate and runs contrary to the basic tenets of a free market. Investors who shorted the market yesterday, got clobbered by the not so invisible hand of the Fed chief.
In his prepared statement, Bernanke announced that the Fed would add $200 billion to the financial system to shore up banks that have been battered by mortgage-related losses. The news was greeted with jubilation on Wall Street where traders sent stocks skyrocketing by 416 points, their biggest one-day gain in five years.
“It’s like they’re putting jumper cables onto a battery to kick-start the credit market,” said Nick Raich, a manager at National City Private Client Group in Cleveland. “They’re doing their best to try to restore confidence.”
“Confidence”? Is that what it’s called when the system is bailed out by Sugar-daddy Bernanke?
To understand the real meaning behind the Fed’s action; it’s worth considering some of the stories which popped up in the business news just days earlier. For example, last Friday, the International Herald Tribune reported:
“Tight money markets, tumbling stocks and the dollar are expected to heighten worries for investors this week as pressure mounts on central banks facing what looks like the “third wave” of a global credit crisis….Money markets tightened to levels not seen since December, when year-end funding problems pushed lending costs higher across the board.”
The Herald Tribune said that troubles in the credit markets had pushed the stock market down more than 3 percent in a week and that the same conditions which preceded the last two crises (in August and December) were back stronger than ever. In other words, liquidity was vanishing from the system and the market was headed for a crash.
A report in Reuters reiterated the same ominous prediction of a “third wave” saying:
“The two-year U.S. Treasury yields hit a 4-year low below 1.5 percent as investors flocked to safe-haven government bonds….The cost of corporate bond insurance hit record highs on Friday and parts of the debt market which had previously escaped the turmoil are also getting hit
While the Dems are tangled in the Clinton "elect Hillary at all cost" web, McCain is able to vacation and fund raise.
Howard, with his hands full, still manages to smack Mc down every chance he gets. Where are the rest of the Dean Dems? They need to be on the circuit chipping away at Mc's numbers, and it wouldn't hurt if they spoke up for Howard and the job he's doing at DNC.
What Obama can't say about Rev. Wright: by poblano
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/3...
#31 audrey,
I hink you make a good point. He has to do more than respond, but how? I remember when Howard Dean responded angrily or made an accusation that it was used against him. I think there's also something very important about supporters acting as responders. I remember again the saying that "we have your back."
Maybe this is where the activists come in. We can question Hillary's experience, her statements, her methods of attack and the same is true for McCain. Moreover, we have to qustion the old pols that make up the DLC that are so opposed to the 50 state strategy and empowering the electorate.
Huron John points out that the media is complicit, and I was thinking the same thing last night. The trivia, the giving credence to outlandish, inconsequential, and petty things. Even on Keith last night with Jonathan Alter, what a waste of time qustioning the relationship between the pastor and Obama. That he married them? How silly is that?
It's not surprising the the American populace can't think. We've been inundated for 30 years with constant ads interrupting programs, the mantra to buy, buy, buy, use credit, refinance, get something for nothing. The ongoing trivia, obfuscation. sound bytes, narcissitic focus on self, yes, the media plays a huge part.
Legends, storytelling, shamans, teachers, ceremony, myth, ritual were the historic areas of influence in prehistoirc times. We've substituted media, and look at what it has brought!

A Full Range of New World Order Minions
Kurt Nimmo
Truth News
March 15, 2008
It’s curious Sean McCormack, U.S. State Department spokesman, would take Iran to task for not offering a “full range of people” in its parliamentary elections.
According to the AFP, the “United States condemned the elections as ‘cooked’ after the disqualification by the hardline Guardians Council of hundreds of reformist candidates deemed insufficiently loyal to the Islamic revolution… The results are ‘cooked in the sense that the Iranian people were not able to vote for a full range of people,’ US State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.”
Here in America, of course, we always get a “full range of people” in our elections — that is so long as they are government insiders, Bilderberg attendees, trilateralists, and corporate flunkies. “If the political prediction markets are right, we are going to end up with a presidential contest between two people who agree on the pressing need to expand the entire welfare-warfare state. They can argue about priorities, but they agree on the overall goal,” writes Lew Rockwell. “Of course it’s all politics, that is, equal parts dissembling and illusion, and designed to confer on some groups more power over other groups.” In fact, it has been that way for a long time.
Ron Paul represents at least an extension over the usual “full range of people” offered by the political machine in the United States. And we saw what happened to him — consistently marginalized, cut short during the “debates,” ignored and at best given short shrift by the corporate media — in fact, lampooned and portrayed as a buffoon, even a dangerous radical, by the corporate media (as the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are certainly radical in the current statist political context).
Not that anybody should support Iran’s rigged system, stacked with religious fundamentalists straight out of the 15th century. It’s just that McCormack, a former NSC insider — laboring to perpetuate Truman’s national security state dictatorship — should check his flaccid rhetoric at the door.
But then it hardly matters, not when there is “news” of Britney Spears ready to do an erotic dance for His Highness of Dubai.

You know we’re in a depression when Bush plans a "bullish speech" on the economy. (Links via Drudge.)
This is the same bird who recently told soldiers in Iraq, via TV from his easy chair, that it is "romantic" to be on the front line, and he wished he could be there too. George, last time you were too busy with blow, but this time, pick up a rifle, go to Iraq, and stay on the front line and out of the green zone. (Thanks to Ron Shirtz.)
Oh, and btw, Alan Greenspan just told a Wall Streeter who hired him as a consultant that "the economy is headed off a cliff." Yes it is, Alan, and you are a chief criminal, along with Nixon, Bush, Bernanke, and others, in this unfolding global disaster

Obama Talks to Major Garrett on "Hannity & Colmes"
HANNITY: And this is a FOX News alert. Just moments ago Barack Obama -- Obama responded to FOX News regarding the controversy surrounding his pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and he spoke to our very own Major Garrett.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/obama_talks_to_major_garrett_o.html
A fair enough interview. However, we will have to wait and see how badly the FOX talking mouths distort Obama's answers and/or Garrett's questions.
