DNC coverage was great. I enjoyed watching TVone too.

Video of Gov. Palin talking about how Sen. Clinton "whines" during interview in 2007.

SENATOR OBAMA, PLEASE TELL AMERICA YOUR FEELINGS ON THIS US JUDICIAL INJUSTICE ???

LETS ALL HOPE OUR INTERNATIONAL MEDIA FRIENDS ALSO SHOW AN INTEREST IN REPORTING ON THIS AMERICAN HORROR FACING THESE (TENS OF THOUSANDS) FORGOTTEN AND TRAPPED POORER AMERICANS, AND HOW THIS POSSIBLE FUTURE PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER HANDLES THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE FACING AMERICA'S LATINO AND BLACK AMERICAN COMMUNITIES ????

WITH 80% OF THE BLACK AMERICAN VOTERS SAYING THEY SUPPORT SENATOR OBAMA IN THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, IT IS ONLY FAIR FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW PRIOR BEING ELECTED OUR NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HOW THIS DEMOCRATIC SENATOR TRULY FEELS ABOUT THIS AMERICAN JUDICIAL HORROR CONTINUING TO INFLICT GRAVE HARM ON THE BLACK AMERICAN FAMILIES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE ??????

*** WHEN GOD’S FACE BECAME VERY RED ***
THE US SUPREME COURT GAVE ENEMY COMBATANTS FEDERAL APPEAL HC RIGHTS LAWYERS AND PROPER ACCESS TO US FEDERAL COURTS,AND POORER AMERICANS (MANY EVEN ON DEATH ROW) ARE DENIED PROPER FEDERAL APPEAL LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO OUR US FEDERAL COURTS OF APPEAL, AND ROTTING IN AMERICAN PRISONS NATIONWIDE ?????????

**** INNOCENT AMERICANS ARE DENIED REAL HC RIGHTS WITH THEIR FEDERAL APPEALS !
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE $LOWLY FINDING OUT HOW EA$Y IT I$ FOR MIDDLE CLA$$ AND WORKING POOR AMERICAN$ TO FALL VICTIM TO OUR U$ MONETARY JUDICIAL $Y$TEM.

****WHEN THE US INNOCENT WERE ABANDONED BY THE GUILTY ****
The prison experts have reported that there are 100,000 innocent Americans currently being falsely imprisoned along with the 2,300,000 total US prison population nationwide.

Since our US Congress has never afforded poor prison inmates federal appeal legal counsel for their federal retrials,they have effectively closed the doors on these tens of thousands of innocent citizens ever being capable of possibly exonerating themselves to regain their freedom through being granted new retrials.

This same exact unjust situation was happening in our Southern States when poor and mostly uneducated Black Americans were being falsely imprisoned for endless decades without the needed educational skills to properly submit their own written federal trial appeals.

This devious and deceptive judicial process of making our poor and innocent prison inmates formulate and write their own federal appeal legal cases for possible retrials on their state criminal cases,is still in effect today even though everyone in our US judicial system knows that without proper legal representation, these tens of thousands of innocent prison inmates will be denied their rightful opportunities of ever being granted new trials from our federal appeal judges!!

Sadly, the true US *legal* Federal Appeal situation that occurs when any of our uneducated American prison inmates are forced to attempt to submit their own written Federal Appeals (from our prisons nationwide) without the assistance of proper legal counsel, is that they all are in reality being denied their legitimate rights for Habeas Corpus and will win any future Supreme Court Case concerning this injustice!

For our judicial system and our US Congressional Leaders Of The Free World to continue to pretend that this is a real and fair opportunity for our American Middle Class and Working Poor Citizens, only delays the very needed future change of Federal Financing of all these Federal appeals becoming a normal formula of Our American judicial system.

It was not so very long ago that Public Defenders became a Reality in this country.Prior that legal reality taking place, their were also some who thought giving anyone charged with a crime a free lawyer was a waste of taxpayers $$.

This FACADE and HORROR of our Federal Appeal proce$$ is not worthy of the Greatest Country In The World!

***GREAT SOCIETIES THAT DO NOT PROTECT EVEN THEIR INNOCENT, BECOME THE GUILTY!

marc: Please. Europe is the parent of the United States empire. Look at your own selves when you talk about empire. Europe is the root cultural source of the horror the US is doing. Stop evading.

Look in the mirror. Where does this empire originate?

And your comment below about an idealist European, trying to represent what Europe should be, even though we are still far from it. is ... almost amusing if it weren't so telling.

I have deleted a few other things before posting this. The fury of my family and ancestors and all. I know what Europe is all about. In my bones.

And. I am not available to argue this further with you.

Hi again, KXB,

the Balkan wars were a shame for Europe, and indeed the US had to step in to put an end to them.

So it is necessary that Europe does its own job, which starts with getting away from looking at others for leadership but cannot end here.

While my dialogue with a European would gravitate around how to get our act together, a cross-atlantic exchange like the one we are having would be centered on the observation that the US does not stop propping up dictators, invading other countries and still claim to be a beacon of freedom, democracy and human rights; a dialogue between the Empire and its fringes.

That's actually quite a simple point and one you could agree on as a human being. My point is that I expect no change anymore with Obama, and the whole episode -as elevating as it is to watch a black man gaining the top spot- is telling me that the US has still a long road to go to get away from imperial behaviour; and many Europeans from being all too gullible and docile.

Marc,

Yes, there are militaries in Europe. The UK is doing admirable work in Afghanistan, and they were instrumental in bringing peace to Sierra Leone. And France, although the butt of jokes in the U.S., actually has a pretty strong military, although they are as hesitant as the U.S. in engaging in collaborative military endeavors. But, keep in mind that when the Balkan wars started in the 1990's - it was Europe that told the U.S. to stay out, that they would take care of it, and in the meantime over 200,000 Bosnian Muslims were killed in Europe's backyard. European nations do have the ability, but they shy from leadership. They look to the U.S. for leadership, and although Bush has squandered that, it is not like Europe has stepped up to the plate.

Denise, yes they do look happy. Pardon me for not being explanatory enough, I was referencing Mrs. Ford's looks. But it could be the humidity. You're correct, they seem to be an enormously happy couple.

I beg to disagree with your assessment of Mr and Mrs Ford. They look like a happy couple to me. LOL

Thanks, KXB, your answer has been the only serious one so far.

I also do have a lot to criticise about Europe. So let me say that I take the position of an idealist European, trying to represent what Europe should be, even though we are still far from it.

That said, it's not primarily about defense (we do have armies, you know...). It's about an approach to politics not anymore shared by the US. And yes, we will have to deal with Russia. Funny you should mention Schroeder, one of Germany's worst chancellors who is now an employee of Putin. A corrupt to the bone figure.

Then again: a simple no to the empire. And I hope we won't merely become another one. Let us just be.

Sorry to disappoint you. No GOP here. Real life calls, deal with it.

Re: Follow DNC Coverage Right Here

marc — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 10:04:24 -0000

So only those speak who have a vote, or forever be silent? See, that's exactly what I am criticising: the politics of your country directly affects all four corners of the world, but the world is told to shut up (and go along with your wars). Before being told this by an Obama supporter I had realised that Obama will bring no change.

Well, believe me - many Americans would prefer we close our bases in Europe and bring our men and women home. After all, it strikes many of us on this side of the Atlantic as odd that a region of such wealth seems so unwilling to take even minimal measures to defend itself. Even former Chancellor Schroeder, no friend of Bush, pleaded with him not to shut down a number of American bases in Germany, fearing the economic cost.

My relatives in India cannot fathom how an area as prosperous as Western Europe can be so cheap when it comes to their own defense. Their region of the world is quite dangerous, but they do not expect American men and women to defend them.

So, enjoy your two hour lunches and month-long vacations. I am envious - and take care of Russia by yourself.

Yep, its the same script. She just changed some names and added the last part. We'll probably see this same post after Barack's speech on Thur. I think they're just copying and pasting these on various black blogsites. This kind of nonsense will get more prevalent as the weeks go on.

Gina I have no idea what YOUR experiences have been like in this country, but I know EXACTLY what Mrs Obama means when she said "America can be a mean country," and "In my adult life,I've never been so proud (speaking about the POLITICAL system." You see I respect the person who can be critical and loving at the same time. I wish my life resembled the heiress of a beer fortune, but with my working class roots I can acknowledge that this country can be MEAN. It was mean when my dad was laid off of work just before I started college. It was mean when last year I couldn't afford health care and have been relegated to scamming underground allergy medication. And its mean in the ways that some Americans believe there is only ONE way to be American therfore everyone else is false, less than, or fake.

It can be greedy. It can be self centered. It can be arrogant- as I have seen these last 8 years.

And it can be a place that I love at the same time. Michelle Obama is like MANY people, including me. If she isn't like you, that's ok... you've had several hundred years of first lady's who were JUST like you. ;) Take a break for the next 8 years.

She wasn't attempting damage control. She told you who she is, where she comes from and what she thinks. If you prefer not to hear it hear it from her, go on and listen to the lies... stay gullible. Fox News and the right wing depends on your ignorance.

Yeah it was scripted- it was a SPEECH.
