WHEN is this woman going to be charged with filing a false police report?

She has attempted to suppress the freedom of speech of opponents to a bill she introduced by FILING A FALSE POLICE REPORT.

Cousins is a CRIMINAL.

murtagh knows about taxes, he has continuously voted to raise taxes, fees and water/sewer rates.

I agree! Andrea is great. How dare that Murtagh fella be upset that the Weathermen were in bed with the Black Panthers and then tried to blow up his house with him in it!

Who cares? Just pay your taxes like me and move on, move on.

the radicals that have damaged this country presently reside in the white house.
They are the ones with a radical ideology that has driven this country to the edge of ruin.
. fighting the cold war and arguing against communism make about as much sense today as railing against the dangers of the monarchy. In 2008 the world is recognizing that the economic mythology that vested interests have perpetuated in this country to grow their personal wealth at the expense of others and their own country is a lie, that unhindered, free market systems without controls, (and we all know who has to set the rules, TO PROTECT US), creates a unsustainable economy, disproportional wealth and ultimately chaos. It’s not called communism, or socialism it is called having rules. A system that favors the rich and is then constantly called in so the government and our tax dollars can bail out their folly is an elitist form of socialism. How an intelligent person can even reference trickle down as an economic policy is beyond me. It is hard to admit you have been dupped.

I have known andrea for more than twenty year. she is one of the impressive people I have ever met.

communism is a political system it has two components
a totalitarian goverment..and a centrally controlled
economy…no private ownership of anything..and the
government controls the means of production
socialism can exist in a democracy..it implies goverment
control over the economy..but does not exclude private
owenership of business…
since we have already have the government taking large
equity postion in the banks redistribution of wealth
is what we already do in the tax code so Obama
is simply rearranging the way we redistribute..

Jiminy,

Kenseyan Economics, it’s an American thing employed after the Great Depression. Thats what Obama is talking about. It is not a Communist ideal. Consultant cleared that by saying, “socialist, maybe.” It had nothing to do with Ayers.

There was a debate tonight on cable TV. Cousins spent all her time saying absolutely nothing. Murtagh is no knight in shining armor, but compared to Cousins he’s Abe Lincoln.

Ms. Cousins,

I can not imagine that anyone would vote for you.
Obama sides with radicals like Ayers.

NY has become a sad, sad state of affairs.

Good comment, Larry. It seems that might be just what she is suggesting.

Cousins doesn’t seem to realize there were buttons, shirts, posters and whatever for the very real “Panther 21.”

The Consultant also seems not to have noticed he was WRONG again, this time about communism and Ayers.

Ms Cousins,
What do you mean by your statement the “so called panther 21” are you suggesting that there was no such group?

At 11:03 the Consultant said, “communist no, socialist maybe.” Here is William Ayers in 1995….

“I am a radical, leftist, small ‘c’ communist. Maybe I’m the last communist who is willing to admit it. The ethics of Communism still appeal to me. I don’t like Lenin as much as the early Marx.”

That was William Ayers, 1995. And who would he be working with in an attempt to radicalize Chicago schools? And who was he throwing a fund-raiser for? Obama.

I must admit that I admire the cloudy success of the cynicism and machiavellianism of a candidate who can lump the 40% of the nation who pays no taxes at all with those who pay a pittance and those who make 250 grand a year against everyone else who’s left in the minority who actually pay the bulk of the taxes. Hugo Chavez, anyone?

Communist no…socialist..maybe…but hey its like
a salmon swimming upstream…the conservative president
has just nationalized the banks…so Obama is not even
suggesting something that would appear radical..
he is giving tax breaks to a majority of the
voters..because they are the ones making under 250m
per year…and right now its got to be very
appealing to them and to most retirees who also
live on under 250m a year…as we dive into a prolonged
recession very few are willing to make this an
ideological battle including george w bush

Wow, prime the pump is Communist. Wow I should be scared. But oh wait the US has employed the concept several times already. Most notably after the Great Depression.

So no it shouldn’t be surprising because it has been a common strategy for almost a century.

Zyskander would do better if he used paragraphs. But what he says about Obama’s comment to the plumber is correct, and it is a scary remark that reveals a lot about Obama’s ideas. They mirror those of William Ayers —communist.

Ayers readily admits he is still a Marxist/communist. Obama might as well do the same. His comment to the plumber speaks volumes and really shouldn’t be surprising. There is a considerable list of Obama’s radical associates.

The only thing abortion has done for any of us is to keep the crime rate down. Rudy, wily as ever, took credit, claiming he took the window washers off the corner. Fact is, in NY abortion has given us right here a million or two less yahoos running wildly in the streets.

You are what your record says you are. Right. And Obama’s record says he is an ultra-liberal who never sided with the middle class, and who also voted “present” about a million times in the Illinois legislature. He also has a string of radical associates and supporters.

Rashid Khalidi is another one of those. A Columbia U. prof, and he also was in Chicago. A PLO guy in the past. Obama admits he knows him too.

Summerhill? In NYC years ago, some very weird folks were involved with Summerhill. Many of them are still around.

“Save the Babies” as it relates to trying to stop a woman from her constitutional right to choose is a bad thing. A woman by law has the right to terminate a pregnancy in its early stages if she chooses. People under the banner of “Save the Babies” do not have the right to interfere with that right.

What education reform? Summerhill? Let the children decide the curriculum? The entire money-burning Annenberg experiment proved a disaster except for those “intellectuals” who reaped income from it. Historical research since the 1940’s has shown that these kids “educated” (rather, experimented with) under the Summerhill philosophy have been ill-served. Something “as noble as educational reform?”

SR, you advise someone who disagrees with you to go “lynch” himself? No one knows who Obama is because he won’t tell you who he is. He mentions incessantly, the “middle-class” and what he is going to do for them. Anyone making under 250 grand is going to be golden, he tells us. He rarely, if ever, mentions what his voting record reveals – and it ain’t about helping the middle class. How in hell can anyone be so naive as to think that he is the champion of the middle class? What’s his real agenda? Like Bill Parcells used to say: “You are what your record says you are.”

nonabiz,

I’m sorry I forgot there is no constitution or rule of law in this country and when someone works on an issue as noble as education reform with a guy who he had no control over I just don’t find anything wrong with that. I would have done exactly what Obama did.

Obama did not help Ayers do the horrible things he did
Obama did not put Ayers on that board
Ayers did not put Obama on that board
Dozens of people including Republicans were involved.
Murtagh is using the issue as a campaign tool.

Sorry facts are facts.

I am sure you have some criminal associates yourself. Some you may not even know about. Many people have ghosts in their closets. Go lynch yourself before casting stones.

It is obvious to me that Murtagh has several skeletons in his closet. If he wants to raise issues about the past then he should answer questions about his association with those extremist from the “Save the Babies” group. The only reason Murtagh surfaced the issue with Ayers is because he thought it would give him some political mileage. Murtagh did not realize that most people would see right through his political maneuver.

SR…you are forgetting the dead cop in Calfornia. Blown up at his desk. And Dorhn did jail time over Brink’s because she refused to cooperate with the Grand Jury.

It’s disgusting to see people making excuses for Ayers, Dorhn and the vicious Weather Underground.

That means you and others.
