[kerry-is-my-prez]

n/t

[Jacobin]

1. Wow. He said THAT?

[LSparkle]

2. He was ON FIRE !!! Outraged!

You could see it right there on his face -- he looked like he was going to have a coronary!

BEAUTIFUL!

[Atman]

3. Jack is ripping!

Man, NO ONE has spoken like that!

And Wolfie is just a kiss-ass namby-pamby pussy wimp fuckwad tool of the New Dictatorship.


AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!

[winga222]

23. But how do you really feel about Wolf? n/t

[Bobbie47]

4. he's pissed n/t

[babylonsister]

5. HE's as outraged as we are! "If it doesn't worry you, it sure as

hell should!":grr: :grr:

[Atman]

8. I shouldn't be stunned at Wolf's reaction, but I am...

He just segued into the next segment..."Thank you, Jack...good to hear from you...uh, obviously upset as you are...Next, is HILLARY CLINTON the devil's spawn? We'll find out next in the situation room, where new blast-faxes from Karl Rove are coming in all the time."

[babylonsister]

10. I think he's trying to push the corporate mindset and use the old

diversionary tactics, but that must be difficult to do following Cafferty's righteous raving! :spray:

[malaise]

6. Did you hear him

That was great.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

7. "Arlen Spector is all there is standing between us and total dictatorship"

"You'd better hope that nothing happens to him!"

[partylessinOhio]

13. Gawd, I missed that!

"Arlen Spector is all there is standing between us and total dictatorship"

What are we going to do to save America?

First, what can we do to wake up America?

[Gabi Hayes]

16. seeing as how Specter was the ARCHITECT of the single most important

justification of an actual coup that took place thirty three years ago, I find that statement truly frightening, as well as very discouraging

anybody who thinks Specter will lift a finger to go against this regime is, to put it mildly, misoverestimating that sycophant.

I'd like to be wrong on this; I really would, but look at what he's done EVERY single time recently, when he's had a chance to stand up against his own Party hierarchy. what a sad, sick joke he is.

what makes anybody think this time it's going to be different?

[blm]

18. Well - Specter decides what his legacy is going to be right here right NOW

Just hope he tells the BFEE he's not going to take it anymore.

[Hubert Flottz]

30. You are exactly right about Sphincter!

All bark and no bite!

[quiet.american]

34. Arlen has signaled where he stands already -- with the criminals.

So, reading through Specter's bluster, I remain unimpressed with his outraged announcement that he's going to call the phone companies in to testify -- and not one administration official.

...full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

[Jeanette in FL]

9. Wow, he was on fire.

He couldn't have been more angry. He said that the NSA has been tracking our phonecalls for the past few years without our knowledge or permission. He said that Bush came out to tell us that everything is on the up and up and for us not to worry about it. Cafferty went on to say "Why don't you catch Osama Bin Ladin and secure our borders and check our port containers". He also said "If you are not concerned about this, you should be, we are one step away from a dictatorship."

I know I am forgetting some of it, but he was on fire. Can't wait to hear the responses he gets from that.

[Peter Frank]

11. Here's the link to answer Cafferty's question:...

(responses to be read on air)

Does it concern you that your phone company may be providing your phone records to the government without your knowledge or permission?

[Sydnie]

21. My email response

I am as concerned about them listening to my phone conversations as they should be about future investigations into their current policies and practices. They say we shouldn't be concerned if we aren't doing anything wrong, then neither should they. Bring on the Special Investigator. Let's see what they say then when testifying under oath will be the norm not the exception.

[Saphire]

25. done...I love Jack.

I have had two of my letters read on air!

[babylonsister]

12. Write back to Jack!

5 p.m.: Will there be any real reform when it comes to illegal immigration?

[pacalo]

32. Done!

I noted that this administration could pull phone records of anyone they consider to be enemies of the state, which amounts to anyone who deviates from the Republican mold, leading the way for manipulation of the press as well as elections.

[mandyky]

14. He even said "dictatorship"

as in we are on the brink of becoming one! Good for Jack!

[Jeanette in FL]

15. Needless to say, freeps not happy about the Arlen Spector comment/Jack

They started a whole thread about the little snippet Cafferty said about Spector. Of course you can imagine the responses, everything from this country has gone to hell in a handbasket, to why do you watch that liberal crap on CNN.


Cafferty: "Spector May Be All That Stands Between Us And A Dictatorship In This Country"

Anybody else just hear this crap! I just about hit the floor..........

How in the h*ll does an "Unbiased media source get away with this kind of BS??

[Gabi Hayes]

17. Has Cafferty crossed the line?

the firing line?

can't wait to see the reactions of the lunatic right

[malaise]

19. Here is this whore Cornyn

a fugging Senator selling out the constitution. They are shameless.

[Atman]

22. Cornyn has Bushcum dribbling from his chin

He is as shameless as the get. My guess is, he does teenaged boy hookers, and Hayden knows it. Toe the line, Sen. Cornyn, or the pictures get e-mailed to the news desk!

[mod mom]

24. Coryn blames the leaker for aiding the terrorist. yeah yeah, when

is this guy going to realize that trashing our constitution is terrorism.

[malaise]

27. My starting point is that

I have grave doubts about their version of 9/11 and the entire war was based on lies. Americans are slowly waking up to the fact that their government has been seized by criminals and robber barons.

[mod mom]

33. I hear you. Too many coincidences about 9/11 as well as ignored warnings.

[Gabi Hayes]

20. and this, from yesterday's email question:

What would you think of a third Bush president? Jeb Bush, that is

here are the responses he read over the air


BLITZER: Jacki, thanks very much. Let's check in with Jack. He's in New York with "The Cafferty File." A moment ago, Jack, I confused the two Bush brothers, Jeb Bush is the little brother, George Bush is the older brother, but go ahead.

CAFFERTY: But Jeb Bush is the bigger brother, physically.

BLITZER: He's taller.

CAFFERTY: And heavier, and, yes -- and younger. All right. The reason we're yakking about this is President Bush said today that his brother Jeb would make a great president. Term limits prohibit him from running for Florida governor. So we asked, what would you think of a third president Bush?

Richard in Springfield, Missouri, says he's a lifetime Republican voter, a former lifetime Republican voter: I'd rather be run over by a large truck. I'd rather come down with a fatal, painful illness. I'd rather have my ex-wife be awarded the final 10 percent she didn't originally get. Do you get the point? The last thing this country needs is another Bush.

Carl in Spokane, Washington: I'd rather brush my teeth with barbed wire than have another Bush in the White House.

Rob in Cambridge, Massachusetts: The only thing scarier than a third President Bush is a second President Clinton. This trend toward dynastic rule in both major parties should make Americans start considering third parties more seriously.

Chris in Denver: I think I want a third Bush like someone wants a third heart attack.

Troy in Battle Creek, Michigan: Another stupid question to answer. What the hell is wrong with you? The Bushes are a reflection of the things that are wrong in America, and you don't change that by continuing to give them opportunities to be cast in a favorable light.

Gregg in Eugene, Oregon: A third President Bush? Hopefully the American people will keep their sadomasochism where it belongs ... in the bedroom.

T. in Omaha, Nebraska: If you knew what I think about the present George Bush, you would understand that if there were a third, I would pray that I'd drop dead instantly.

And Gurpal in Livingston, California: What would you think of a third President Bush? Only if it's Anheuser-Busch.

[Atman]

26. Lemme guess...

Wolfie said "Thank you, Jack! Your listeners always offer entertaining views."

[Media_Lies_Daily]

28. He was very pissed off, and stated that we were in trouble.

[Robbien]

29. But Bush said he is only listening in on the terrorists

The fact that he also has your telephone calls is besides the point. He won't listen in on them. Trust him.

[Peter Frank]

31. K & R - Cafferty's the only one calling it like it is folks...

:kick:

[bunny planet]

35. oh no he isn't, wait until Olbermann gets on the air tonight.

[Peter Frank]

37. I'm looking forward to THAT... n/t

[DainBramaged]

40. The ONLY one in the MSM

"don't know about wisdom but you'll get a bit of outrage. We better hope nothing happens to Arlen Specter, the Republican head of the Judiciary Committee, because he might be all that's standing between us and a full blown dictatorship in this country. He's vowed to question these phone company executives about volunteering to provide the government with my telephone records and yours, and tens of millions of other Americans.

Shortly after 9-11, AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth began providing the super secret NSA with information on phone calls of millions of our citizens, all part of the war on terror, President Bush says.

Why don't you go find Osama Bin Laden and seal the country's borders and start inspecting the containers that come into our ports?

The President rushed out this morning in the wake of this front page story in USA Today and he declared the government's doing nothing wrong and all of this is just fine.

Is it? Is it legal?

Then why did the Justice Department suddenly drop its investigation of the warrantless spying on citizens? Because the NSA said Justice Department lawyers didn't have the necessary security clearance to do the investigation.

Read that sentence again.

A secret government agency has told our Justice Department that it's not allowed to investigate it. And the Justice Department just says okay and drops the whole thing.

We're in some serious trouble here boys and girls."


Captain Jack, hero of the little guy.
