No, not paid or "artificial".. Just impotent and without any directive or strategy.. Truth is, I don't know, and posted the article to find out...

"What are the objectives of this protest? How does it intend to accomplish them? Is it preaching to the choir, or will it actually convert fence sitters?"

is it too cynical to think the entire movement is pretty much a smokescreen?

You think these people were...paid I'm guessing? I don't understand disinformation doesn't really understand either but that's not surprising.

Great!

From denverpost.com:

Uygur's show will precede "Countdown with Keith Olbermann​" at 7 p.m. Eastern each weeknight. Like Olbermann, Uygur was formerly a presence on cable-news network MSNBC. Olbermann left MSNBC last January and soon afterward joined Current, where "Countdown" resumed in June as the centerpiece of a planned full night of talk programing.

"We'll be bringing the Turks as well as Cenk," Bohrman said. "The group, with its free-wheeling dynamic, isn't really the Cenk you saw on MSNBC."

Paul defines honesty in starkly ideological terms. You're "honest" if you agree with him, or attack people he disagrees with. But if you believe in liberal causes, or support Democratic politicians, you are by definition some nefarious agenda-driven hack who doesn't care about the truth.
Do you mind if i interrupt to ask where he's said that?
This isn't a jibe or challenge. I just like a man who doesn't give fucking slippery answers and this dude seems to be the first politician i have seen in my life who doesn't give slippery answers. You're implying he's slippery, and i don't want to fall for it, so i would appreciate enlightenment.


I took that from this, starting around 0:53:

The more liberal stations some of them wouldn't dare want to talk to me because their agenda is Democratic party politics and they're not for liberty, they're just for Democratic party politics and big government. But even on those stations, you will have a few very honest people.

Which is followed by his comments about Stewart being "honest" because "when the left really messes up, he loves to go and get 'em." Because apparently it's rare that liberals ever deviate from just toeing the line on "Democratic party politics".

Because, you know, nobody like Olbermann, or Maddow, or Cenk Uygur, or Ed Shultz, or Lawrence O'Donnell, or Sam Seder, or Thom Hartmann, and nobody on blogs, or anywhere else has ever "gone after" Democrats for screwing up.

Granted, I didn't get my entire view of Ron Paul from this video alone. I've been listening to this guy off and on for years now.

I guess I know Paul best from the Campaign for Liberty e-mail list. See, way back in 2007, I used to think Paul was a different kind of Republican -- a softer, kinder, more honest sort, who would be willing to work with liberals on important issues, so I signed up for his e-mail list. Back then, the e-mail he sent out matched that first impression.

At least, they did right up until Obama became President. Ever since it's been 3 years of pure vitriol and hatred. Here's some highlights from one from earlier this year:

Fellow Patriot,

Big Government took a huge leap forward in 2010. And you and I will suffer the consequences unless we take action today.

You see, the statists look for every opportunity to gain more power over our lives – and they found another one in the ObamaCare scheme.

It is a huge step toward a full takeover of our personal medical decisions, as well as a massive tax increase and a huge loss of liberty. It will also cause further destruction to our already fragile economy.
...
Please read the email below from Campaign for Liberty President John Tate. Campaign for Liberty has a great plan to help me win this fight, but they are going to need every Patriot in our Revolution to join them.
...
[Letter from John Tate that Paul wants us to read]
Dear NetRunner,

The ObamaCare scheme is designed to do two things statists love more than anything else: vastly increase the size and power of government and give our federal masters more control over our personal business.

Power over our very lives.

It's getting harder and harder for them to conceal their true intentions - and people are waking up to it.

You and I saw the results of this in the recent elections, giving us an opportunity to take action.

Ron Paul has a plan to fight back and END THE MANDATE, but Campaign for Liberty needs your help today to get the battle really moving.

You see, the debate over nationalized health care isn't about what Congress wants to "give" Americans.

It's not even about health care at all.

It's about power.

It's about what THEY take.

It's always been about what they take.

And their "take" is staggering.

Delightful bunch of two-faced psychopaths, if you ask me.

Those last few lines on terrorism as inciting fear in a population are just golden. Right on as usual Olbermann.

There some really interesting work being done on forgiveness lately.. not the least of which is explored in this film.

>> ^Boise_Lib:

Cool, I thought this was the guy.
A very interesting project. South Africa comes to mind. Instead of sweeping everything under the rug, a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Instead of retaliation, or "looking forward not back"--reconciliation. If you don't acknowledge--you can't forgive--and you can't move forward.
Forgiveness what a novel idea.

Yes, he's been on television and on talk shows. He's been on the circuit for about a decade.

>> ^Trancecoach:
My friend and colleague has published extensively on the psychological and physical benefits of forgiveness.

This project looks quite familiar.
Would I have seen anything about this elsewhere? On TV maybe?

the benefits of the delusion of an afterlife


There's a lot of delusions people hold onto that have benefits. Like I'm deluded into thinking I'm smarter and superior to everyone, so I post on message boards all day.

Thanks Netrunner,
This is old, so I wasn't sure about putting it in the news channel.
It is pretty amazing that the Amish people were able to be this forgiving.


NP. I generally hold that anything that's even vaguely associated with the news qualifies for the channel. I hate annoyingly narrowly defined channels.

And yeah, it was pretty amazing.

Thank You @Morganth, you inspired me to find, and post, this.

And Thank you @hpqp, I feel more educated every time I interact with you.
