"Daybreak urgently reminds us that good political intentions are not sufficient to ensure the continuation of our democracy; informed vigilance is vital to that task."
-Mark Karlin, editor of Buzzflash.com
Chris Matthews smacked Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) for using the idiotic rightwing phrase "Democrat Party." Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) tweaked Issa by saying "Republicanistical Party," but it would be much simpler for Democrats (and pundits) to just ask Republicans if they belong to the "Republic Party"?

Following that line of though, I was wondering when someone is going to ask the FCC to revoke the license of CNBC. They put a on a person by the name of Larry Kudlow who is just a Republican politcal hack. But the give no show\face time to any Democrates.

Santelli has been exposed too...I posted it in another blog post of Bob's.
He is a front man for Koch. I also posted to BobCesca's blog right after it happened and on my blog that it was a set up deal. It was planned from the get go. Political Carnival found the twitter post where it was scheduled to go and so they could make sure it was coordinated to be on camera at the right time.
I think the stock market is still being manipulated to a certain extent if not completely in order to discredit Pres. Obama.
Maybe not, but it sure seems funny to me that if it starts going up all of a sudden they talk about it and it just tanks.

It was only down about 30 or 40 points and they noted that even after the bad news of the -6.2% economy in the last quarter that it was amazing it hadn't dropped more than that and it was looking like it was closing way higher than they ever expected it to. That was about 2, or so.. not long after the President finished speaking.
Then it wasn't very long after that and it just tanked. But Rove and Hannity talked about it Thursday night that it was going to be low Friday because of the budget. Rove was just going on and on about it. So, that's why everyone was expecting it to be low.
Or that's what I think.. it's just more of those RNC and GOP talking points that used to come out of the White House before Rove left..then he went to work for Fox and they came from there.. Morning Joke gets them every morning and starts the day with them, and it infects all the others before the day is out.
Rachel and Keith not as bad but they are subject to an extent.

When Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway profits are down 62%, that's indicative of systemic economic problems, and NOT day-to-day manipulation by "traders." Buffett is not a "trader," but an investor:
If you look at the Big Picture, we have been in a steadily declining bear market since the end of 2007. All current market indicators show that trend will likely continue until a "bottom" is reached. No one, including Warren, can predict where that bottom will be.

Bob, you may be correct, but I believe that it was due mainly to the old trader's adage of "buy the rumor, sell the news."
Short-sellers are making a small fortune in this volitile market, and are actually providing needed liquidity while longer-term "investors" are bailing out.

Just don't want anyone to forget who he is. He is also a hypocrite just like Diaper Dave Vitter. He likes to point out how bad everyone else is but never admits to his own faults.
I think these blogs scared Scarborough away from running for the Senate in 2006, leaving the GOP with Katherine Harris as their (doomed!) candidate. Joe could have won that seat...
whinning that the liberal bloggers were tough on him, after spouting that he now supported Obama, if he could get the economy back.
Shall we discuss it fellow countrymen and women. A woman dies and nothing is done about it. I can't imagine the questions this girls parents had that didn't get answered. Wasn't Snarlborro also repeating that Teddy Kennedy was responsible for a woman in Chappaquaddok or however it's spelled. Such a bad hypocrit Joe.
Hmmmmm, maybe we can take this to our advantage and shut him and his idealogical hypocrits friends to behave themselves til we get the economy right. It is US doing the work to get it working right?
I don't feel like having a hypocritical obstructionist possible murderer, blocking legislature progress, with spin and BS.

I suspected the 777 point crash of the DOW
after the first bailout bill was defeated in the House last fall was engineered by the traders.
that crash created panic in Washington so the bailout bill sailed through a few weeks later.
I believe Martha Stewart when she says they were already
doing what I did, but you have to pay to be in the club. Is this the same "club" of thieves that put us in this, and locked Martha up?
You betcha! Martha is a independent hardass proud woman, who wouldn't let them pull her corporate strings.
Are the rules not the same, for ordinary people?

agree completely
that the real economy has driven down the market over the past year and will continue to do so until the economy turns around.
i only suggested the 1-day crash of 777 after bailout 1.0 was rejected was manipulated by traders to make sure bailout 2.0 sailed through.

what we really
need to remember about Scarborough is that his evening show - Scarborough Country - was Ground Zero for the Swift Boat Liars in the summer of 2004.
I believe Scarborough's outrageous coverage of the Swifties - cohosted by Pat Buchanan - was the #1 reason why Bush was able to steal a second term.
If it wasn't for Scarborough, this would be year 5 of the Kerry Administration.
Let me add
I am not perfect.. nor do I claim to be. So, I don't want anyone to think I am saying I am.
Buchanan
is another story all together...GRRRRRRRRRR
I cannot stand him.. and why anyone gives him a platform to rant is beyond me.
Bay is worse than Pat I think.. but am not sure. I don't watch CNN enough to really know.
It's really the "LobbyCorp Party
That's who they speak for, not the American worker slaving season after season to make them bigger for less wages and no respect for their skill.
