On Air America, Palast turns against Obama


(A tip of the metaphorical hat to Red Dragon.) In this clip, Palast discusses Obama's secret deals with the drug companies. You'll learn little that you didn't know before, although the clips from the campaign trail are damning.

So here we have a "progressive" investigative reporter telling us that we've all been Cheneyed by a guy named Barack Obama, and he's saying it to the audiObots of Air America. Yet we do not have one hint of an apology toward those of us who, during the primary campaign, repeatedly warned of Obama's history of mendacity.

We were called haters and racists and reactionaries. But we were right.

So where was Palast when we needed him, back in 2008? Slamming Hillary. Google it. Start here.

Greg, how about an apology?

Like I said about Lil' Davie Sirota, which way does Greg Palast bend to insert his head.
And once he gets it up there does he find that several O-bots have preceded him?

Our whole f***ing government is in self-destructive mode. Greed will do that. History is full of examples.

Except we live in a time where it's no longer an earthly "affordable" problem to be solved.

Phony outrage. The Bots wanted to defeat Hillary. That was it. They don't care about Health Care or anything else. They know what kind of person O was/is. They knew but will never say it out loud.

They tried it once but could not beat Lieberman so they wanted to prove again that they can do it.

Of course, the media whores and other Dems chipped in. Dems like John Edwards who teamed up w/ O to attack Hillary since day 1.

It is all phony outrage. They knew what O would do. The bots are not fooled by O nor his promise of hopy and changy.

All I would like to say to Palast is "Sucker."

Clinton-haters are bringing the Democratic Party down, just as they brought the Republican Party down. The lesson is clear: if you want to destroy a political party, just send in the Clintophobes.

This is nothing new for Naderite Palast. He hated Gore, too. He lied about being a "Dem" until a mother and daughter team questioning him forced him to admit he had not voted for Gore...and then his explanation for all his lying about being a Dem was that he "left" the Dem Party. Later he was forced last minute to remove disproved Clinton conspiracy crap from one of his books by those of us on Salon at the time who threatened to show up with signs at his book release. The only problem I have with this entry, Joseph is that it amounts to a slap on the wrist compared to some of your spankings. And hey Greg Palast: TOLD YOU BONEHEADS SO. You weren't "cheneyed." You were FLUFFING a Cheney-lite Reagan groupie *because* he was broadcasting he wasn't a "Dem." So where's your "MEA CULPA" and why aren't you begging America for forgiveness?

THANK YOU, Joseph.
Whores like Palast and Michael Moore can go f*#k themselves. Whatever credibility they had as leftists and leaders is loooooong gone. I used to admire them until they took cheap shot after cheap shot at Hillary. I expect hell to freeze over before either of them deigns to acknowledge a f*%king thing. As far as I'm concerned they OWN what Obama is doing as much as Axlerove, Brazile, Dean or anyone else. So Palast can dig up all the dirt he wants and I'm sure someday some bright young leftie will decide its time to INVESTIGATE him. I am truly sick of no accountability, conscience or human decency from these pigs.

We're in the midst of a White House Coup that has been in the planning stages for decades. How I know is because I was in a family for more than 26 years who are deeply involved in it. Much of what I've been witnessing are efforts to calm feelings with trying to keep a lid on their efforts also there are varied efforts to position people in positions of power and to keep them. As mentioned this has been going on for decades and over the past few presidencies efforts were made to improve the Coup's position for the take over.

If you look closely, the military is beefing up getting ready for Martial Law. There were attempts here and there but they know the economy is going to collapse and want to be ready for when that happens. It's all part of an overall plan, I heard about it in the 90's. I knew the details of the economy collapse back in the mid 90's and so do many who are part of the Coup movement. This includes Buffett who has done a good job positioning his money to take advantage of the change to also not draw too much attention upon himself. If you look closely at the "Business Plot" from 1933, this is the same group of organizations who have talked about their failure for decades. I heard about it throughout the 80's and 90's from the family only this time they have done their homework. But don't fret as for everyone opposition there is a counter opposition which shows itself in the news, especially if you know what to look for.

History shows that when there is a Coup, there is also out of control corruption. The corruption in our case appears to feed our gawking interests while the higherups do their magic. Try looking at the bigger picture and start viewing things downward to see what is happening.

Don't worry, Zee.

If it's any consolation, Nader spanked Palast (and Hightower and others) for going silent on his campaign when it was evident that Barry was going to carry the roses.

As did 'lil Davey and so many others who read the sign "Follow Dear Leader." Of the two, Clinton would have been better and I'm still wondering what specific reasons (credible - not the kool-aid) pushed 'investigative' journos away from the Clintons. What is the big rift about between the Kennedys/Obots and Clintons?
