Wow!!!! I Just Saw Dennis Kucinich's Speech On CSPAN - Wake Up America..........
Edited on Wed Aug-27-08 01:17 AM by global1
Incredible is all I can say!!!!! It just pisses me off that MSNBC didn't show the speech. They'd rather hear each other bloviate instead of listening to the real story of what is going on in this country and what *Co has done to us over the last 8 years.

My understanding is CNN did telecast it - is that true? What were the comments after his delivery?

Dennis is the only one that really tells it like it is and they seem to want to sweep him under the rug.

I hope Obama has a place for Dennis in his administration.

Here's a link to the text of his speech: http://news.yahoo.com/s/rockymountainnews/20080826/pl_rockymountainnews/kucinichelectrifiesconventionarena

And here's the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLRYAzBJdb0

2. Was watching C-Span - Dennis was on fire!
No big surprise MSNBC didn't show it but still disappointing!

Did CNN show it??

3. It was too short and too early. Other than that it was perfect.
It's too bad we don't live in a country where Dennis gets to speak for an hour in the prime time slot.

6. No joke, he was on fire! I loved him. Did CNN really show it?
How do we counter them sitting around blowing bubbles when there is real news that they choose not to cover?

8. Rude Pundit described it nicely
Described DK as "bouncing around like the world's most coherent meth addict". Hell of a speech.

Rudepundit comment :

The Real Keynote Speaker
Man, fuck boring ass Mark Warner. You want an old-fashioned barn burner? Check out Dennis Kucinich, kicking it old school, bouncing around like the most coherent meth addict in history, and bringing the thunder.

Listen to that tough little motherfucker take down the Republicans and raise up the Democrats like a faith healer on a battlefield. And realize what it takes to go after these bastards.
