1. Tells you what you need to know about the current state of the Democratic Party AND...

I also almost expect to find MM "inexplicably" dead in a hotel room somewhere soon. Like Hatfield - who was found that way about one week after I recieved a copy of his book - signed by him.

I'm just sayin' BE CAREFUL OUT THERE, MM.

[slipslidingaway]

7. Yes it does...chilling. n/t

[Fridays Child]

12. Was it Rahm Emanuel who tried to put the screws to him???

Just a guess.

[intheflow]

17. That's my guess, too. n/t

[Triana]

21. That'd be one of my first guesses. n/t

[tomm2thumbs]

27. goes to show you that he first comes to mind - without him mentioning any name whatsoever

I thought the same thing in a second

[CoffeeCat]

32. Me too..and who does Rahm Emanuel...

...think he is...Tony Soprano?

Oh, he's a big tough guy because he uses the F-word. :eyes:

Moore had the right response...don't call me. Call Dodd.

How DARE they tell Moore to back off.

No...you CORPORATIST SELL-OUT SHILLS---you back off!

[intheflow]

18. I saw him on a speaking tour through Denver.

Bought his book and stood in line to have it signed. He had a very tight security unit around him.

[jbnow]

30. Pretty big difference between a "cool it" call and murder.

I think the call was stupid, even more stupid that they thought he'd obey.

I don't think they will kill him for talking about the dirt on Dodd.

[90-percent]

2. Mike's point about Dodd

Mike's point about Dodd, and the suggestion he should not run again because he will loose a solid Democratic seat, is absolutely correct. It makes Michael more right and a better Democrat than what ever democratic mafioso is telling him to back off reporting on what Dodd has done.

No small planes, mike! And thanks for working on your health this year. Loosing 65 pounds is a hell of an achievement! We need you, man!

6. Hearing that he's losing weight...well, I'm breathing a sigh of relief.

We just cannot lose Michael Moore.

[slipslidingaway]

8. Glad MM has spoken out about this call and I agree with him that we...

do not need to lose a seat.

It was great to hear about his weight loss!

[DeSwiss]

3. K&R!!!!

Thank you Michael for all you've done!

The rest is up to us.

[slipslidingaway]

9. Thanks n/t

[Helga Scow Stern]

4. Do you know what posted video he was referring to?

Saying the "machine" is already getting busy?

[prairierose]

5. I hope someone figures it out and posts it here.....n/t

[HillbillyBob]

11. I cannot even view or hear the video/audio as posted

Satellite connection/old puter here. Then again w/o satellite we would have no internet at all.

[slipslidingaway]

14. This is what is said at the beginning...

MM said he received a call from a well known, well connected person around the Democratic Party telling him to cool it on Senator Dodd. He then goes on to say that Dodd was getting very low interest loans, over a million dollars of loans. He told the person that he should be calling Dodd to tell him not to run instead of telling MM to back off.

I could not find a transcript, it was part of this interview.

10. No I do not, looked around a bit, but came up empty handed...

the video would have been posted on 9/16.

Great question!

[unapatriciated]

33. savage has a vid on youtube regarding MM

I watched about 3 seconds and had to stop. He is one hateful asshole.

[still_one]

13. Did Moore criticize the rollback of Glass-Steagall Act or the Gramm-Leach-Billey Act

which was facilitated by both republicans and Democrats?

The problem isn't capitalism, it was the removal of that regulation

I don't give a damn if Moore criticizes Dodd, as long as he includes all the culprits, and isn't one sided

I also don't think "capitalism" is the problem, it was the lack of regulation

[slipslidingaway]

15. Hopefully I'll find out tomorrow night and I agree that both parties...

are at fault.

[still_one]

22. I agree also, but this whole trend of deregulation started with reagan, and from the S&L crisis

to now, it doesn't seem our representatives are quick learners

[slipslidingaway]

25. That depends on whether our Reps fight for the people or the corps...

"....it doesn't seem our representatives are quick learners."

Unfortunately not enough are fighting for the people.

[mmonk]

24. He called out everyone.

Dodd was in a political position that concerns the mortgage industry.

[still_one]

31. good, that is the way it should be, and I wouldn't expect it otherwise from Moore /nt

[bleever]

16. Moore knows that the myth of our nation being "center right" is laughable,

and crashes through walls erected daily by the national dialogue emceed by the corporate media.

[loudsue]

19. We all need to start doing that. Loudly, and on the phone to our congresscritters.

I'm sick of this shit.

[xchrom]

20. kick

[ScottLand]

23. You rock, Michael!

[Ruby the Liberal]

26. Oh Jeez. Stay safe Michael.

No small planes, ok?

:(

[tomm2thumbs]

28. thanks for posting

he should really reveal who it was so as to point the spotlight at someone who would do that and think they were above being noted for it

[slipslidingaway]

29. You're welcome and yes that would be nice n/t
