Putting, subject matter of this video aside, I had a HUGE problem with the lack of respect both hosts Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez was showing their guests, Young and his wife by not addressing them after they spoke and cutting them off.
Gonzalez, I believe rudely, would simply address Donahue after Young would speak, without even a recognition of the words he just spoke, let alone a follow-up question.
And Goodman straight up cut off Young's wife during the interview.
Even as a liberal myself, I can start to understand the conservative's argument that liberals are agenda driven.
Compassion for Mr. Young was not very present with these two hosts, just the agenda to stop the war. That bothered me, because both could have been accomplished.

No shit!-There's gotta be at least 10 examples of Dawkins arguing the case for his camp with non-non-believers here on the sift-Goddamn, Amy Goodman!!...Please do something with that mop of starving peasant hairdo you rock like you never cared...Jeeeez!..and maybe a sprinkle of cosmetics and better posture?? She has that, "Slept in My Clothes" look goin' alla time too, innit??!

For actual informative coverage of the pepper spray debacle check out the interview Amy Goodman does with Kamran Loghman, the person who actually invented pepper spray and created the guidelines for its use.

Amy Goodman of Democracy Now is another great voice. But Bill Moyers will be missed.>> ^highdileeho:
>> ^highdileeho:
No offense, but if anyone is interested in real journalism, who's intrests aren't cynicism, and ratings, but objective reporting on all the issues in America, then watch bill moyers. I'm sick of seeing people applauding all these baffoons. youve been duped, we don't even know what good journalism is anymore, and most of the younger generation have probably never heard it at all. Mostly because It's boring and depressing, but at least it's classier than poppycock.

Nevermind, I was just going to catch up on the news to discover todays show is a farewell episode.
god, i hope we haven't just lost the last sane voice we had left that was giving us our information.

i love amy goodman and democracy NOW.alternative media is the way to go and is the only source to combat the deluge of propaganda americans are subjected to (looking at YOU FOX news).
*PROMOTE!

Would love to see a few more Amy Goodman clips, and a lot less of Bill O, Beck and Olbermann. *talks

As a Canadian and a Vancouverite, I am embarrassed that this happened. What has happened to my Canada?

Amen brother, as a fellow vancouverite I have never felt more shame for my city and my country. I hope we don't win a single medal on our own soil (again), due to all the horrible karma stirred up from this situation, taking billions of our tax dollars, not letting other countries practice on the turf THEY WILL BE COMPETING ON, and now this blasphemy, it makes me so disappointed and mad. Fuck you Vanoc, fuck you both provincial and federal government, and fuck you olympics in general.
There called olympic GAMES, not olympic I'm better then yous.


This comment makes me ashamed to be a Canadian.

It's the Olympics. A couple weeks will have passed and the only thing that'll happen is a few countries will gain a small amount of national prestiege and in 4 years, it'll be forgotten in everything but the Olympic History book.

You're still a Canadian, As am I. Born and raised in Ontario, and i'll probably die here, too.
Americans may be known for fierce patriotism, but god knows Canadians are right behind them. I'm proud of my Country, viewed by the world as peace keepers and neutrality.

Sure, we're pulling a dick move with these games, and I agree that it should be rectified, but I would NEVER betray my own country by wishing it does badly. Now, as far as I understand, it's mostly Americans that are shocked over the lack of us allowing them to come train with us. Truthfully, lets think of this for a minute. In terms of "Dick Moves" I think the Americans have quite a bit more racked up then we do, however I understand "An eye for an eye." and still agree, that its not right.

However, This article basically explains it all, better then I can ever say here.
There's an advantage. There always has been, and there always will be, however, maybe it's our turn to actually use it for once.
