The Truth About Gitmo Welfare
Quote:
Once again, the Republican Party has taken something way out of context, and is now trying to claim that President Obama and the Democrats want to give Guantanamo Bay detainees welfare to come live in America. Not only are they wrong about the proposal, but they've apparently forgotten about the fact that only 2 inmates have been prosecuted, dozens have been released without being charged [[but after being tortured) and we destroyed their lives. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire takes on the Bulls and Bears on Fox News to debate the issue.
Time to Legalize Internet Gambling?
Quote:
With state and federal tax revenues plummeting, new ideas have to be examined to try to increase the flow of money into our economy. One idea being floated around is to legalize Internet gambling, which surprisingly, is finding support from both sides of the political spectrum. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire takes on the Bulls and Bears on Fox News to debate the issue.
Before the Storm - Barry Goldwater
Before the Storm - Barry Goldwater
Quote:
Back in the 1960's, the GOP ran a candidate that was so out of touch with society and full of some of the worst ideas in political history that he lost the 1964 election in a landslide. But Barry Goldwater's legacy is still alive in the GOP, and many believe that it was his right-wing fringe ideas that helped boost Ronald Reagan into the White House. Today, the Republican Party is so desperate for a new direction that they're trying to resurrect the failed Goldwater ideals to breathe new life into their party. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about why this might be the worst idea the GOP's had in a long time with Rick Perlstein, author of the book "Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus."

The GOP's New Global Warming Spin
Quote:
In spite of all evidence to the contrary, the GOP's latest talking point is that combatting global warming is going to do more harm to our economy than any Wall Street ponzi scheme. Unfortunately, the facts show us that switching to a green economy will not only help the environment, but it will create thousands of jobs for American workers. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks to author and journalist Glenn Hurowitz, who has been keeping tabs on the GOP's anti-environmental activities for years.
