Papantonio: They Hate Their Emancipated President

There is something oddly familiar about the rise in racist attacks against President Obama. Some of the best historians in America say that the wealthy landowners and bankers of the South during the time of the Civil War used their power to convince poor southern farmers that they needed to take up arms and defend their way of life. What they were really doing is protecting the investments of the wealthy while being manipulated through racist fears. The same is true of the attacks against Obama. Mike Papantonio spells it out for us in this week's Pap Attack.

Yeah, it is oddly familiar how the liberals roll out the race card when their backs are to the wall.

Papantonio & Blumenthal on Republican Gommorah

• Part 1/2
• Part 2/2

When you think about some of the most powerful groups that influence our political system, the Religious Right will no doubt be right at the top of that list. No other group in history has been able to achieve what the Religious Right has, no matter how many millions of dollars they pump into a politician. But as we've seen over the last few years, this is a movement that was founded by frauds that have, one-by-one, been exposed as the liars and hypocrites that they truly are. Because of this, the GOP has now become almost completely irrelevant, and is being pushed further out of Washington with each new scandal that emerges. Mike Papantonio discusses how all of this happened with Max Blumethal, author of the new book "Republican Gomorrah."

Glenn Beck's Morning Zoo Ad

An ad from Glenn Beck's days as a Morning Zoo DJ.

[ccbatson]

What is it when people ask for and receive support from whatever the source [[private charity, Medicare, Medicaid)? Call it begging if you like, but it is no different than socialised medicine where somebody is looking to get something without paying for it.

How Tort Reform Ruined Texas

• Part 1/2
• Part 2/2

The GOP likes to point to Texas as a model for how great Tort Reform really is. After all, Karl Rove spent most of the 1980's turning the Texas court system into a Republican-controlled gaggle of cronies that consistently ruled in favor of big business. But he was able to sell tort reform to the voters by saying that it would lower healthcare costs, which would mean more money and better services to Texas citizens. Well lo and behold, Karl couldn't keep that promise, and now Texas has one of the most expensive, and most dangerous healthcare systems in the country. And the GOP STILL wants to push the Texas model onto the rest of the country. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about the history of Texas tort reform, and what will happen to the rest of us if this thing goes national, with president of the political consulting group Libertas LLC, Cliff Schecter.

Undoing the Imperial Presidency

• Part 1/2
• Part 2/2

It might surprise a lot of our listeners to know that the US Constitution actually gives very little power to the President of the United States. This was no accident. The Founding Fathers realized that if they gave too much power to the commander in chief, America could once again be facing a situation like the one that led to the American Revolution. In spite of this, US presidents have been increasing their powers over the last few decades, setting dangerous precedents for those who follow them. Since Congress seems to have turned a blind eye to these abuses, the only hope left is with the citizens of the United States. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about what we can do to restore the constitution with David Swanson, author of the new book "Daybreak: Undoing the Imperial Presidency and Forming a More Perfect Union."

Glenn Beck's Key to Insanity

• Part 1/2
• Part 2/2

When you're working in politics, more often than not there are going to be stories that make you wonder whether or not mankind is actually going through some kind of reverse evolution. About the only thing you can do to stay sane is to laugh, and that's why Mike Papantonio sat down with comedian Matt Filipowicz to talk about the humorous side of some of the most ridiculous stories coming from the old time media.

Papantonio: Lunatic Villagers and Their Pitchforks

Do the Democrats really want to throw people in jail if they don't buy health insurance? If you listen to Republicans like John Ensign then you probably believe that they do. But as Mike Papantonio points out in this segment on Fox Business's Happy Hour, the reality of this happening is about as likely as you being abducted by aliens.

Papantonio: Our Frenzied Focus on Fox

As progressives we love to hammer Fox News for their conservative bias. After all, aside from their laughable slogan, they make no qualms about being packed full of conservative republicans. However while we're fighting the boogeyman of Fox News, networks like ABC and NBC are running news programs that overwhelmingly promote conservative views and attract almost 3 times as many viewers. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about who the real villains are and why we need to redirect our anger.

[ccbatson]

3 times as many viewers as what? Fox? nope. The liberal content? If so...hmmm, what do you suppose that might mean?

Is Obama Tough Enough on Climate Change?

• Part 1/2
• Part 2/2

During the Bush years the US didn't see a single piece of legislation come through Washington that helped stop the emission of greenhouse gases. As a result we're now far behind almost every other industrialized nation when it comes to curbing the causes of climate change. When Obama was elected environmentalists thought that we would see a wave of new legislation helping reduce greenhouse gases. While we've seen a few laws to help, we're still not seeing what we'd been promised during the campaign season. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about what still needs to be done with Bill McKibben, author of "Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future."

[Lorax]

I would love to see Linda McMahon knock Dodd on his corrupt liberal back side.

Kinda hard to do when she's out of a job, thanks to her mental instability.

[Lorax]

Good for Mr. Prince.....that is a work ethic to admire.

Princess kind of loses some of his "moral authority" when he admits that marrying the chick he knocked up was "the right thing to do." Add to that the thousands of innocent Iraquis murdered at the hands of his employees in his bid for his self-described "crusade against all muslims."

He needs to be handed over to Iraqui authorities for trial and eventual imprisonment.

Did they cover the New Jersey school children indoctrinations?

Actually they did, just after covering the Bush indoctrinations of school children after the New Orleans visit, and the Jesus Camp debacle.

Glenn Beck struggling with and failing to define his statement: "deep-seated hatred for the white culture."

If you "Turn over all the rocks," you're bound to find a Glenn Beck trying to change his colors like a chameleon.

He squirms, with extremely misplaced confidence. Priceless.
