RFK says Palast is an extraordinary American hero

[seemslikeadream]

such an important figure in this country. I couldn't agree with him more

[enough]

1. k&r for both of them

[Ilsa]

2. I wish Palast's recent work and revelations would make it to the

mainstream. It is time for the last 28% to see how little they "support the troops" by caging their votes.

[midnight]

4. This is such a important piece of information. It is my hope that

more people will become aware of this fact. I listen to Greg Palast a few weeks ago in Chicago speak about this very issue.

[glitch]

3. Takes one to know one. nt

[LibertyorDeath]

5. Palast eats people like Anderson Cooper for breakfast....

Not one major American news network would hire Mr.Palast

as he insists on reporting the FACTS in detail....

Rec!

Fuck the MSM!!!

Love this pic

Randi Rhodes & Greg Palast






Greg Palast is a New York Times-bestselling author and a journalist for the British Broadcasting Corporation as well as the British newspaper The Observer. His work frequently focuses on corporate malfeasance but has also been known to work with labor unions and consumer advocacy groups. Notably, he has claimed to have uncovered evidence that Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, and Florida Elections Unit Chief Clay Roberts, along with the ChoicePoint corporation, rigged the ballots during the US Presidential Election of 2000 and again in 2004 when, he argued, the problems and machinations from 2000 continued, and that challenger John Kerry actually would have won if not for disproportional "spoilage" of Democratic votes. <1>

Palast has lectured at Cambridge University and the University of São Paulo. He lives in London and New York City. Palast is originally from Los Angeles, the "scum-end of LA, between the power plant and the garbage dump", and was educated at the University of Chicago, where he studied with the "Chicago Boys".

In September 13, 2006, after filming a camp of Hurricane Katrina refugees in Louisiana near a massive Exxon oil refinery, Palast reported that a complaint had been filed against him for the unauthorized videotaping of a "critical infrastructure asset." <2> Palast office later indicated that Exxon had "called off the dogs" and that no charges would be filed.

It is rumored that there is currently a graphic novel in the works adapting Palast's newest book, Armed Madhouse.

6. It's a real disgrace Palast can only find work at the BBC

No corporate-controlled AMERICAN media outlet has a place for the likes of him.

7. K&R n/t

[90-percent]

8. The two of 'em

Palast and Kennedy have something in common:

COURAGE

People as brave as this deserve people like us to shout their truths on every rooftop!
