On Wednesday’s Radio Show…
April 23, 2008• The fallout from Hillary’s big win in Pennsylvania.
• Clinton supporter Kathleen Kennedy Townsend previews the next big contest in Indiana.
• One of Alan’s most memorable guests ever - anti-abortion activist Neal Horsley, who admitted to having sex with mules - returns to explain why he’s running for Governor of Georgia.
Wait a minute, didn’t I wake up and hear that polls in PA reflected the PA-POV that Clinton had thrown more mud? But now there’s a screenful of wonks on Charlie Rose…I caught Doris Goodwin’s name (sp?)…and Bob Hebert (sp?). They’re all so very sorry obviously to have to mention it…straining to parse right all those oracularisms…but suddenly Obama’s sort of ordinary…just like Brooks was whining in his switcheroo last week.
Oh, now he’s not “connecting” like in the beginning. But in the beginning when there were so many anti-NAFTA commercials…where was anyone at this blog take’n on Obama’s stand re trade point for point? And where was there ever any pro & con on the relevant questions on PBS? No where. If Obama started “connecting” again with statements opposing monopolistic trade again…he’d be blasted as a radical in the tradition of his pastor again…most likely.
What a big bunch’a nothin.
I wonder if this “Brad” author of article below is the guy at bradblog (below is first viewpoint/text Google News found me that included the terms I was anticipating…from far enough away maybe to qualify as objective…NZ). Oh well, back to the old standards to see what’s questionable in all’o this. Can’t wait.

We need to talk alt economics, not about guys who’ve messed around with mules. Talk, talk, talk. Take it all the way back to Iran-Contra, I don’t care what angle you try…it’s gotta be relevant now.
I’ll probably be buggin outta this blog. Will try not to miss Moyers Friday nights.
Whaddya know, same Brad!
Dear Alan, just a short comment:
Why is it that Democrats, Liberals, or those that are left leaning, can understand the basis of some of the policies of our polar opposite, Republicans, Conservatives, and right leaning. While they steadfastly think we are all nuts, gays, commies, or flag burning anti - americans?
Anotyher is yesterday, the news media played down Hillary Clintons’ huge win in Pennsylvania, She won all but seven counties and received the accolades of the voter by them sending her CASH after her victory. After sixteen years of raising money for the democratic party and helping democrats get elected by making appearances for them, including helping them take congress in 2006. Where’s the love ? As democrats I think we owe hillary and Bill a liitle something. Our debt to them must be paid, maybe at the convention? Also, thanks to you a true American!!!
As a general rule, most devout people (like Neal) reached that destination after either family brainwashing or multiple personal failings of their own. Drugs. Alcohol. Prison time. Sex with mules?
That would, of course, be entirely their own business if it weren’t for their common followup need to proselytize and drag the rest of us pagans into their strange reality.
Neal would be “funny” and easy to ignore if he were the only one of his kind, but he’s not.
You know, I find it hard to dislike Neal. He’s really sincere. Cookie… but sincere. I mean, he really feels that he has turned his life around, after years (decades, I guess) of all sorts of straight nasty behavior. So as laughable as most of his statements are, I just really admire his sense of purpose.
Well, I don’t appreciate the Nuremberg Files.
And I didn’t mean “cookie”, I meant “cooo-kie” like Addams Family
HA!!! HA!!! He did do time. And now he’s loose in the world to “advise” the rest of us how to properly live our lives.
I wish I could’ve asked Mr. Horsely if he thinks that Jesus is a patriot.

Love the show!!
So what if Mr. Horsely horsed around with a few animals.
Mules need love too.
Epiphany~ lol, girl.
Alan~ the abortion issue is why I’m not a democrat. I don’t understand how a “fetus” can be looked at so scientifically. Use whatever technical term you want, it’s still a BABY who hasn’t done anything wrong to anyone else. It’s human LIFE.
I still love you though, Alan.
I kept turning the show off during the interview. I did hear enough to learn that Horsely would be a good, in a manner of speaking, argument for atheism, as well as that of calling god a tyrant. So if we don’t round up gays and adulterers, and punish them, we’re going to implode, or something. Well, he more implied not voting for people like him, who apparently would do that, would have god bring us terrible discord and pain. So it’s really a case of same difference. I’m glad I chose not to be Christian, religious, because I can judge freely, much more so than “golden rule” folks.
Cheryl do you think all Democrats are pro-choice? and that all Republicans are anti-choice? The position is pro-choice not pro-abortion. I’m sure I’m mistaken in my interpretation of your statement, just like I’d be wrong to say I’m not a republican because of their pro-war stance.
Budda, I meant exactly what I said. I’m not a democrat b/c I’m pro-life, and the Democratic party platform is directly opposite what I believe about abortion. If not for that position, I’d be a self-proclaimed Mule.
I’m not a repub either. I voted for Bush in 2000 and Kerry in 2004.
And I don’t think that all dems and all repubs think the same way. I didn’t say that anywhere in my comment.
