9. kick.

not that I want to relive most of this.... but I just had to hear Kucinich and Pelosi again this morning...

[Nothing Without Hope]

10. Weren't they magnificent- especially DK. THough you do have to give

points for imagination to Rep. Kingston for comparing Jack Murtha with Michael Moore!!! And the lies were particularly egregious - not that the press will report that.

[cui bono]

52. Kucinich is the real deal.

Even his hands and arms speak genuinely and not in that robotic little politician like gesture... you know the one... closed fist with the thumb up moving up and down repetitvely.

[Nothing Without Hope]

3. Note that this is NOT ALL of the Can-o-Fun videos from this historic day

I selected those I regard as the most signficant. By all means, go to Can-o-Fun and look at the rest of them too. To find them, go to the home page here:

14. Yes, Can-o-fun has quickly become indispensable. The impact of SEEING

is so much greater than only reading, though the transcript is vital documentation too.

Thank you for your great and generous efforts, liveoaktx!!!

15. Murtha Rocks!

Thanks for those clips. What a great way to start my day. Murtha exemplifies why it is the Democrats who are the true patriots. Chimpy's "Stay the Course" is not only needlessly killing young Americans, he is gutting our military and putting our nation at risk for years to come.

[Speed8098]

16. Thank you for posting this

John Murtha is 100% correct.

18. New Resolution for ScHmIdT

I hereby propose to send the self-proclaimed courageous representative from Ohio, Jean ScHmIdT, on a search and detain mission to capture Al-Zarqawi.
Let's see if she will stick her neck out for this one.

21. Wow!! Did John Tierney lay the Repukes out or what?!?!?

DAY-UM!

24. Rep. Kingston calling up the name of "Scoop" Jackson?

Does he even realize that "Scoop" Jackson pretty much gave birth to the current crop of neocons who have sabotaged U.S. foreign policy???

22. For the technologically challenged...

...could anyone provide transcripts, or at least links to transcripts? Not only am I on a dial-up, but my computer is elderly, and most likely will not play the files, even if I were able to download them.

Thanks.

26. Hi Reader Rabbit!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

23. Thank you liveoaktx/Can-o-Fun

I watched most of it, but I had missed Dennis Kucinich's speech so it was great to see that. What a wonderful job you do for us.

25. help? CanOfun never opens for me.

Computer illiterate here--anyone know what might be the problem?

I really really want to see these vids!

[Nothing Without Hope]

31. If you have a recent enough copy of Windows Media Player, which is

a free download from Microsoft, clicking on the links I gave for the individual videos in the opening post should launch the media player and run the videos. You can also download them if you want (on my Mac I press Control and get multiple choices of which that is one - on Windows computers it would be a different command). Either way, you will need the Windows Media Player of a recent enough vintage to play them.

Here is the Microsoft page with downloads for Windows Media Player. It's free. If you don't have a recent version and your operating system is covered, download and install. It's pretty self-explanatory. Then you can see the videos.

30. Thanks for putting these online for public viewing

I sent these links to people who work during the day and don't have the time to watch CSpan during their day.

I hope it gets wide circulation. The truth will out.

[For PaisAn]

28. Hooray for the Dems, FINALLY

It felt like I was watching the British House of Parliament. They were great. The best was Dennis Kucinich, powerful, passionate and true. He said it all in 1:17!

[NanceGreggs]

32. As Always ...

... I feel obliged to express my gratitude to those who compile these clips into one, cohesive, readily-accessible stream. For those of us who are 'technically challenged' when it comes to ferreting these things out on our own, this effort is appreciated more than I can say.

As for the performance of our elected Democrats last evening, of whom I have been very critical at times in the past, my pride in being a Democrat has been renewed and rejuvenated by their willingness to take a stand, not only for their fellow party members, but for all Americans.

33. Jean "Batshit Crazy" Schmidt's long lost twin.....

35. Just When You Think You've Seen It All

thanks for posting all of these....

[Paradise]

36. Thank you Democrats!

More! We want more!

[New Earth]

37. anyone have a video of this

"Just as matters seemed to calm a bit, Rep. Harold E. Ford Jr. (D-Tenn.) suddenly charged across the aisle to the GOP seats, jabbing his finger furiously at a small group of GOP members and shouting, "Say Murtha's name!" Rep. David R. Obey (D-Wis.), who had led the chants for striking Schmidt's comments, gently guided Ford by the arm back to the minority party's side."


I guess i missed just that part last night :(

i wanna see it so bad.....someone please help!!!

[New Earth]

38. kick

please?

[Old Vet]

39. The freepers are acting like schimdt is god, Its gotten that low!

[rodeodance]

40. i have not watched the news--has this stupidity been on?

[New Earth]

46. kick for this question

if anyone has video of this part of last night, please tell me! just the part of him running over to the other side ranting at the Repubs....

[gristy]

47. My guess is there is no video of that incident

C-span has just a few cameras, and impromptu events like Rep. Harold E. Ford Jr. running across the aisle may not be captured. :(

[WorseBeforeBetter]

57. Go to...

http://www.canofun.com/blog/default.asp

and click on

Jean Schmidt-the Republican STUNT Nov 18 05

and you'll see a number of Dems crossing the aisle - there's quite a bit of commotion. Schmidt is a red, white, and blue-draped shrew and her statement is truly sickening. She backs down though and asks that it be withdrawn, to which the body consents. Phuck that - leave those ugly words in to clearly show her true colors.

[New Earth]

59. you know...

i watched that clip a dozen times and didn't realize the scene i'm looking for is in there....if you look at the very bottom of the screen you can see him running over the Repub side and start shaking his finger and yelling. - and the others pulling him back - also heard the one scream "you guys are ridiculous!"

HA! Great. thank you! that was definately one of the best moments of that night....:bounce:

[WorseBeforeBetter]

60. Glad you caught it! Pelosi and her per capita remark and that...

CA takes care of its veterans was really effective. Be sure to watch her clip if you haven't. :-)

[rodeodance]

41. kick

[rodeodance]

42. thanks

[ClintonTyree]

43. First off, Jean Schitt is no "Gentle-Lady"..........

she's a festering pus wart on the ass of America. That the people of her Congressional District could elect a noxious piece of trash like her to represent them doesn't speak well for their judgment and intelligence.
This entire stunt once again demonstrates how low these Republican miscreants will stoop to achieve their twisted aims. They have no shame and will use human beings, our soldiers, as pawns in their stupid little game of, "I'm more patriotic than you!" They are acting more and more like their leader, george bush, every day. Spoiled, petulant, arrogant and condescending, these hideous creatures have no qualms about sacrificing the lives of our fellow Americans to satisfy their egos.
It appears that the American people have seen through this cheap veneer, that they're starting to wake up and see the house of cards this administration has constructed. My only hope is that they remain vigilant and don't fall back into a pattern of swallowing everything said by these charlatans as truth.

[FreedomAngel82]

44. These are all great!

Thank you for capturing all the video's you do. I love your site. :hug: I'm so proud of my fellow democrats! My second favorite part of the night, after Kucinich, was when Pelosi said "You can't handle the truth!"

[neebob]

45. Well, I won't watch the videos because my speakers are broken

but I watched Mr. Murtha on C-Span for a few minutes last night, before the vote. Never heard of him until yesterday. Besides being disturbed that crusty old buzzards like that are still running things, I had to wonder why he was doing this. I questioned his motives. I'm just sayin'.

[neebob]

50. Whoops! I thought Jack Murtha was a Republican

which is why I questioned his motives. So now I'll stop doing that, realize that all crusty old buzzards aren't Republicans, and be glad for that.

[Orion The Hunter]

48. Excellent compilation!

And Kucinich and Pelosi's commentaries were particularly fantastic!

[JWS]

49. Kucinich is the man!

That was awesome, he said everything that needed to be said, and with fire in his voice.

[neebob]

51. Isn't he, though

and not a crusty old buzzard, which I really appreciate. Here's a link to the text of his speech for my fellow technically challenged DUers: http://kucinich.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=37191

After reading this, I felt validated for questioning Murtha's motives, even if I did it for the wrong reason.

[Ysolde]

53. Thanks so much!

I've e-mailed this far and wide because I wanted folks to see this that don't have C-SPAN. Thanks for the compilation. It really made it easy to get the word out.

Thanks again!

[Time for change]

54. Great compilation

I very much enjoyed watching this -- thank you.

[Freedomfried]

55. The Congressional Black Caucus is an EXAMPLE for all DEMOCRATS

They stand together in complete unity.

OUTSTANDING!

[JWS]

56. Good Job, Awesome Compilation.

I just finished watching all the video clips. Very enlightening to say the least, It would do a lot of good for every american to watch them. Thanks Can-of-worms.

[BigBearJohn]

58. THANK YOU! for posting this excellent compilation. Kicked & Recommended!

[Kire]

61. thanks much

I watched all of it, and then I recommended it. Consider this a kick.

62. kick

Everyone should watch these!

[Rhiannon12866]

63. Great post! Thank you!

This is one for the bookmarks, and for history!:patriot:

[kcass1954]

64. And who says it's boring to come home on a Friday night & turn on c-span??

n/t

[oldshoe]

65. Wow, Murtha moved me tears, and I'm 50.

I though I was all cried out in life, having lost a son and a brother, a job and other pain I no long talk about. I thought I was steeled and hardened. I though only anger was left for American politics.

Murtha made me cry, bless him. And the GOP...? 'Nuff said.

[Shallah Kali]

66. Kick to make sure everyone had a chance to watch the vids!

Thanks to the originating poster and Can of Fun!

[pberq]

67. Kick!!!

[Hanging On]

68. Can someone please tell me....

who was the Representative who spoke in defense of Murtha (I thought it was a Republican) and ended with the phrase "Have you no shame?" I was listening in my car on C-SPAN when it was live but haven't been able to find a clip of this person's remarks (I thought they said it was Spratt, but am not sure). Thanks!
