Suppression! DNC Charlotte: Identification required, even just near convention site

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke says the U.S. economy is “far from satisfactory.” His colleagues are moving to embrace policies that will stay in place until he’s satisfied.

Four Fed presidents have come out in favor of an open-ended strategy for bond buying, with three calling for the program to begin now. Rather than specify a fixed amount of bonds to purchase by a certain date, such a strategy would leave the Fed able to announce a pace of purchases that it could adjust as the economy gets closer to Bernanke’s goals.

[Chairman of the California Democratic Party John Burton:] They lie and they don’t care if people think they lie,”…“As long as you lie, Joseph Goebbels, the big lie, you keep repeating it, you know.”

“That was Goebbels, a big lie, they said they don’t care about facts. They’re going to lie so, I mean, that’s not pejorative to them, they probably wear it as a compliment,” …

“First of all,” he continued, “you’ve got Republicans who truly believe the Earth is flat, so I don’t know exactly what, you know, what’s going to do, but they, I think that when people figure out that these people say they do not care about the truth and they will lie and they don’t care if they lie because it doesn’t matter if they lie.”

    To get any more ironic they’re going to have to hire Alanis Morissette to write the damn campaign speeches.

    Ahh c’mon guys I just heard it’s not half as bad as the Republicans are making it. I guess a 16 Trillion dollar debt is nothing compared to what it’ll be when Obama/they get re elected. You have those roads and bridges to fix ya know and all those evil rich to pay for it. The war will be over and they’ll have all that money to give us poor people.

    The Chairman of the California Democratic Party already had political pundits, delegates and rivals buzzing a day before the Democratic National Convention formally opened in Charlotte, North Carolina, after telling KCBS Radio exclusively that Republican tactics had been akin to Nazi propaganda.

    Does Godwin’s Law apply to broadcast media, or just the Internets?

    That’s just one part of what he said. He apologized. He doesn’t think he said anything wrong it’s just the way Romney/Ryan took it. All I can say is keep it up you A-holes!!!

    I was debating a young miss about global warming one day, and she told me “Everyone knows the science is proven! Denying it is like insisting that the earth is flat!” I reminded her that there was a time when “Everyone” knew that the earth was flat.
