Hillary sucks! Her and Billy boy are part of the NWO just like their good friends the Bush family. Our best candidate for change was Dennis Kucinich but the DNC and the MSM effectively made him irrelevant. Of course the corporate puppets would do that to a candidate who opposes NAFTA, CAFTA, WTO, GATT.

Rhodes represents the worst of the current hip to be ANTI-FEMINISTS Who of course benefitted from the fight of the first and second wave and then proceeds to turn and cannabilize using the tools and vocabulary of sexism and deluding themselves into thinking this is liberation? LOL. I hav a question for women like Rhodes, Aren’t you tired of the pay scale inequality
that transcends race or class between men and women. Of course this is a progressive foundational issue ( Labor equity ) that happens to coincide with a classic liberal issue ( identity politics Civil rights equity ) that could and should be a priority concern for all women and for any american ( especially if they have daughters who will enter the workforce ) ; and yet to anti-feminists like Rhodes these issues don’t count. My daughteras stunned by the Obamessiah wave early on, then I showed her the Labor stats…. She was incredulous…. She is now a committed HRC supporter because she sees that her civil rights havelong been ignored.

I think it’s hilarious how many ” Progressives” are ignorant of the history of their own professed movement. Progressive Action Heroes Teddy Roosevelt (Republican) and FDR (Democrat) would be fairly shocked and franky disappointed at the current state of affairs. This is the same old fight between
The New Left ( Obamessiah & Associate Minions ) and The New Democrats ( Clinton/Gore and the current candidate HRC ) The New Democrats sought to move the progressives FDR base to the center and redefine the New Deal so that American Economics and Social Issues could evolve toward the 21st. C and for the first time in 25 years the party could get a must needed rest fom the battle ground of identity politics. The DNC will either return to the centrist
path that was interupted by the HIJACK of 2000 or they will regress backward to the left and once again squabble as another Reaganesque type is groomd to complete what Bush/Cheney have begun. FDR types see it for what it is and this is why Obamessiah is no more convincing than KerryBot was. Dean the Putz and Donna the Hypocrite are fighting over the wheel of the Bus driving over the cliff while Pelosi step on the gas. Somebody needs to check the meds.

IMHO opinion “progressive” values didn’t go anywhere. It has just become apparent that many of the mouthiest “progressives” turned out to not be very progressive after all.

Many spew concern for the hard working people who are getting screwed by this administration and many previous administrations. They are oh-so concerned about the working-poor. Unless the working-poor open their “low-information, Archie Bunker, Trailer-trash, racist” mouths and dare to disagree with our progressive elite. The morph from working-class to trailer-trash is quick and ugly.

Progressives? I think not. Loud mouthed bullies with the idea that they, and only they, know what is right and best. No dissenters wanted or tolerated.

Progressive values haven’t gone anywhere. It’s just that those that scream about them the loudest haven’t a clue what those values mean. Talking the talk is easy; the proof is in how you act and react. They react like Thugs. There really is little different between a right-wing thug and a left-wing thug. Their goals may be different but the tactics, lack of ethical behavior and lack of respect for other points of view are the same.

It is despicable that a prominent female radio host who is also a “vet” would speak like that. It shows a lack of character and a lack of vocabulary skills too. That same/ol, same/ol “f*ckin whore” rant is tired and lame coming from a person who makes their living with words.

And just as despicable are the Obamapologists that will excuse any behavior if it seems to benefit their “one” and excoriates Hillary Clinton. Progressive? Nah, just haters masquerading as progressives/liberals.

Regarding Randi Rhodes, bear with me I need to pick the bone a little more.

Towards the end of the video that No Quarter put up at YouTube, RR drags SHERYL CROW into her rat’s nest.

RR talks about Sheryl having gone to Bosnia with Senator Clinton (aka the “big fucking whore”). RR goes off on a tangential hypothetical situation with Hillary and Sheryl waiting in line for the bathroom, and Hillary turns out to be a “fucking line-jumper”. In RR’s fevered imagination Sheryl says “fuck you bitch” get back in line.

*It would be nice if Sheryl Crow weighed in on Rhodes speaking for her in that reprehensible manner. Does anybody know who Crow supports for the nomination?

Yeah I know, Wright is Hillary’s fault. The press isn’t even covering the lies Obama has told. What’s the count now, gang 60- something? Like the lie about how he grew up. Poor boy, raised by a typical white grandmother who was a bank officer and had a towne house. Went to prep school. Had it rough. Or about his affiliations with known domestic and foreign terrorists. And you have the audacity to say that Hillary tells half truths. At least she included HALF. This creep refuses to be questioned. First thing he does is turn it to race, put up smoke and mirrors, no matter what anybody asks him. But what do I know. I’m just a Garlic Nose. We are over here listening to the bosnia story on CNN and nobody asks about Bill Ayers, the Black Panthers, Farrakhan’s Nation and the PLO guy who raised big bucks for him. Furthermore, the NAFTA “smear” wasn’t a smear at all. It happened. And I will tell you another lie. He takes bundled money from lobbyists.

Don’t even try that Poor Obama crap here. I can’t wait till he gets his ass swiftboated aftger they Fix this nomination for me. I will eat popcorn the entire time.

But we know. It’s all Hillary’s fault. Hillary is responsible for everything including cavities and world hunger.

You forgot Oral Roberts. Obama probably got his “fainters” from him.

Can you point to anything where Obama and any of his staff or mouth pieces tell us he is a LIBERAL? Seems like he running from that word pretty well. In fact, he’s not even talking that he’s a part of the Democratic Party–has he ever made any statement openly without prodding that he will support the Democratic nominee. Seems like he hesitates a bit on claiming to be a proud liberal and proud Democrat.
