cindy needs to get herself a slot on comedy central. she won’t even have to do a schtik. she is so laughable, all she has to do is stand on stage and let let the mirth roll over her. no one really wants to hear her.

The only thing Cindy is in front of in this country is the line to the mental institution.

Folks forget it; we lost the war against the extreme right and the religious devils. The only hope we have now is for those evils existing in London and Washington will eventually go at each other’s throat. I know this type and I know them well. Like in the Middle East, the two can’t live in the same kitchen at the same time. When this happens, the nukes will fall on the earth and put it out of its misery. When I see children at play, I am sad because they will not see adulthood. The only reason why this evil and insane society did not terminate the earth in the past is they didn’t have the weapon to do so. Currently they have the weapon to kill this earth a billion times over. Even now, the evils in London and Washington are planning to nuke China and Russia in a sneak attack. After their nuke orgy it will be the first time in our history that no inhumanity to man will ever occur again. I have always believed that there are trillions of charged cinders floating silently in space. These worlds were just like ours that failed and paid the price. Out in the universe there may be a handful of worlds that have lived for billions of years. They have awesome technology and spirituality. I’m sure they have no words for war, prisons, armies, inhumanity, religion, and all of the other evils. They have survived nuclear destruction all of these years because they had a great leader when they first climbed down from the trees. He recognized the major evils that would vitiate society and killed them in their cradle before they became 500 lb gorillas. Our scientists belong to the highest level of intellectuality. Despite this, some of them actually believe that a high-level society would communicate with us, an evil and insane one. Yes people, our ass is in extreme danger but it will not come from the Middle East. The two evils in the Western World will do it for them. Can you imagine if all of the trillions spent on war and rip-offs by religious devils, were spent on upgrading humanity? Many times, I have been correct and many times, I have been incorrect. I hope this is the incorrect time. In Germany back in the 30s, there were about 25% of the German people who were aware of Hitler’s evil and insanity. There also were 75% of them that gleefully supported him. Even today, the German people are paying a severe price for their qualities that were found lacking in those days.

Cindy Sheehan is the only candidate who would be able to start the drum beat for a new, true 9/11 Investigation.

Anyone with any sense and who believes their own eyes, can plainly see that the “official” 9/11 story is an absolute LIE.

Cindy can bring that fact to the forefront.

I hope she does so without sounding like a nut case.

Matthew,

I’m not familiar (much) with the Linux system. There is a copy of this transcriptat Democracy Now, (which you can link to on the truthdig page) and they offer the video in a couple of platforms that might work for you.

It’s worth a try. It is last Friday’s program. (July 27th).

I don’t have Flash Player - Adobe has not written it for my operating system (64-bit Linux).  Could there be a direct download link be made available on some of the video?

I read a transcriptof this debate on Democracy Now. (if this is in fact the same thing, since I’ve not viewed it yet).

If it is, the Dan guy, (Mr. Politico) has managed to annoy me. I’ll hold off on any comments though, until I’ve verified that this is indeed the same debate.

Meantime, I sure am glad Cindy’s back!!!

That woman has accomplished a feat that would bring lesser men and women to their knees.

As usual, thanks Cindy, and the editors for bringing her to all of us.

More like-minded people need to run against their political representatives to stop the perpetual war mongering that goes along with supporting the military industrial complex.
