A few good news items for friends and allies of The BRAD BLOG:
Brad Friedman and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are scheduled to appear on Court TV Thursday afternoon (2PM Pacific time, 5PM Eastern) with host Catherine Crier, whose election coverage lately has been excellent!
ALSO: News Hounds covered DemocracyFest and even included a picture of Brad Friedman.
From the News Hounds item, here’s a link to a website you might enjoy visiting: The CA50 Action Committee. Its “Get News” page says the first thing to do is visit The BRAD BLOG!
Cool! That’s the same thing Mike Malloy kept saying the other night on Air America!
One more item of minor consequence: your lowly and nearly frozen correspondent has resumed blogging again, if only because Cynthia McKinney Is Getting Robbed And Nobody Is Even Blogging About It! So, in the words of an old familiar phrase, please don’t read my blog.
UPDATE: Video of the Catherine Crier Live appearance (with RFK Jr. as well) is now online here…
I will be watching … when is someone going to mention Shawn Southworth?

Perhaps we should just focus on the magnificent opportunity that this presents for Brad, RFK, Jr., and everyone who wants the nation to talk about the demise of election integrity in the USA.
I think the Matrix movie (The original one) is such an exact metaphor or symbolic representation of the state of democracy in the USA.
The people are being deceived by powerful forces seemingly beyound their control into thinking they live in the number one democracy, when it is quite possible that there is no democracy as far as elections and voting goes. In that sense the practice of democracy is a charade.
I know full well how radical of a notion that is, but what Brad and RFK are saying is no less radical is it?
Next, get on Democracy NOW!
Dan, email Amy and let her know about this!
Thanks for the article winter patriot. I think Amy goodman would have Brad on as well. Although, I am noticing some strange things going on with the “liberals.” RRhodes was so rude( I cut her off) to a man who called in saying we have a dictator and it’s not a cure all to go vote. Also heard Susan Serandon ask her to make election fraud an issue and she didn’t answer. Americablog put up an article demonizing McKinny for her stand on Palestine, calling her a nutjob. Notice how many so called liberals are pro Israel/big oil. Israel is a military base to protect oil supplies in the mideast.Read cannonfire for the type of weapons they are using on innocent civilians. This is the way we can tell who is bought off. WE knew there was no reason to go into Iraq. So many dems. just didn’t “understand”. right…Joe Lieberman got money from choicepoint according to FDL. Did Kerry, Gore and Busby get this kind of money? Is the Nation saying there is no such thing as election fraud? During the ’04 dem. election debates, Dean was attacked by other dems. more than Bush and his policies. Dean was against the Iraq war.He is still criticized by the clinton wing of dem. party openly and frequently…for such things as wanting to campaign in red states. Thanks for being here..need to get up with Erma now.
I’ll be watching too. Can’t wait.
And Molly – I feel that all-pervading, paranoid dread too. But then, recall that Amy has Greg Palast on frequently and if ANYONE has described “Conspiracy America,” it is he! Have you read “Armed Madhouse” yet?
(Gosh…I just noticed my Preview window is working for the moment. Will wonders never cease?)

Saw you over at Raw Story comments – boy I thought our trolls were bad – Sheesh.
I’m hoping someone will record and post this Court Tv appearance as I had to give up my Sattelite for a while.
Molly
I forgot – I was also going to mention that I gave up listening to Randy Rhodes 4 or 5 months ago when she gave some snide remark and hung up on a caller as soon as he mentioned 9/11.
OT
But too good to not post somewhere: Colbert – Bush and the little girl
Amazing how The Kennedy’s look like they all came out of the same mold . . . . . I like that mold . . .
Now, if she would just quit this andrea yates retrial stuff!
FPE, heh, there’s only so much you can expect of Court TV! 😀
Maybe some of the elections fraud suits will become prominent there soon!
This is about voting
“So I spoke with Shawn Southworth, ITA Practice Director at ciber, one of the very few ITAs and the company that has been contracted to conduct the software tests on SERVE. He told me that the contract to test SERVE was between ciber and the Defense Department but that it included a non-disclosure component that prohibited him from saying anything more about it, including how much money was involved.”

Good one Brad, “Criminal Enterprise” heh
YA BRAD and BOBBY! Great job, gentlemen!
“Criminal Enterprise” Yes . . . . . But at this point that terminology may alienate some non Believers . . .
Saw Brad & Kennedy on tv with Crier–he was great!
Imagine.
Brad shared billing with Robert Kennedy!
They were both really great.
Brad was perfect.
Congratulations Brad!
Boy, this is one time when my elitist attitude about the boob tube is really not serving me! I hope to heck we get a clip of it up here pretty soon! Or, a link to a google video? 🙁
If someone could tell me how to hook up my digital camera(which does do video) to my TV, I might be able to capture it. I put it on my DVR so I have it now.
Brad did mention “Secret Software” too… hmmm #12 might have something to do with that, I don’t know 🙂
hmmm it looks like Catherine may have a clip of the show on her own site soon…

Watched the interview. Was far too short, but you and Bobbie got the basic points across. Let’s hope it will spur a few more people to look into the issue and get on board!
Advice from Randi Rhodes and Greg Palast. Go down to your local election office (usually at the county courthouse) and vote there, and vote before the actual day of the election. Greg advises you go in groups so that if this idea gets challenged by the registrar there, you have numbers for moral support. Hmmm I need to look into this more. I bet this might vary from place to place.
Watched it…GREAT job!! They both got alot of information out in the short time they were on.
I am so glad this was on a venue like Court TV. Unfortunately, millions watch the awful dreck they USUALLY show (Brad & Bobby were on right after a loooong segment about Andrea Yates); but today they saw THEM! EXCELLENT!!
I sure hope people pay attention.
Good interview Brad. The part I liked the best was you pointing out that Repugs were cheated too recently. This is what should scare them (because who knows- maybe a lib will decide to put the fix in). I guess I can live with Repugs winning fairly(barely) if that’s what the morons of our country want(after all, they will have to suffer the consequences too) but cheating is totally unacceptable and just about as anti-democratic and treasonous as it gets.
I will vote as an absentee until paper trails are created. I am urging others to do the same. Absentee ballots can be counted and recounted.
I HATE to admit it, but after having set my internal timer for 5 P.M., I FORGOT! And I can’t watch videa on the ‘puter, because I have slow dial-up. Devastation!!! :(:(:(

Brad has now posted the video on the blog – right click on the window’s media player link and you should get an option to save the link target to your computer. Save it somewhere you can find it when done.
Once saved on your computer you will be able to play it with media player. (Of course it may take a while to down load it)
Brad,
You did a great job of presenting some of the problems in a reasoned and articulate manner. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you on many other shows in the coming months.
It was a great interview, if all too short. What I really wish is that Keith Olbermann would have them on. I know he reads liberal blogs.
