We’ve just received word from the producer of Fox News Live with Alan Colmes on the Fox News Radio Network that Clint Curtis will be appearing live tomorrow night (Wednesday) as Colmes’ guest at 11pm ET.
Alan is a regular BRAD BLOG reader, so be nice! 😉
If you don’t pick up Colmes’ show in your area, you can listen live online via this link.
We will attempt to record the hour if possible to make the audio available later as an update to this item for those who can’t listen live. Though we’re not always successful at such audio captures, and appreciate anyone else who may be able to attempt same as a backup for us.
As previously reported, Curtis will be in D.C. tomorrow to participate in a number of rallies and attend several meetings on Capitol Hill and elsewhere.
We have also learned that the hearing led by outgoing Florida Democrat, Congressman Peter Deutsch, which had been announced in this news release, likely will not occur as scheduled.
Our sources in the Judiciary Committee have informed us that the Republicans revoked the privilege for Democrats to use the hearing room one they heard what the hearing was to have been about.
Anyone surprised?
UPDATE: 1/6/05 Colmes gave Curtis a good (and very tough) grilling! Happy to hear it! And I think he stood up well to the questioning. I heard no inconsistencies in his story.
The Colmes/Curtis radio interview is now online. Thanks to our pals at CrooksAndLiars.com!
Applause to the lone liberal member of the FOX Newschannel. Using Rupert Murdoch’s radio empire to vent Curtis’s story twists of Irony though. I hope we’re not gonna see Alan Colmes file for unemployment a week later. According to the documentary OUTFOXED, FOX News don’t take too kindly to indepedent journalism. Still good to see a glimmer of hope. I’ll be listening.
Of course, Fox may have already spoken to Feeney and already have a prepared list of questions to trap or discredit Curtis. I hope it is independent journalism and not a set up? Yes…we will be watching! Sorry…anything associated with Rupert Murdoch I have grave misgivings about from my own review of their news to personal dealings with his media empire!
My understanding is that it is a non-partisan issue: Law and Order.
The true Republicans and the true Democrats and the true Independents and the true Greens, et. al., are all in accord when it comes to the issue of election fraud and communist spies.
No political party or relevant individual involved sanctions election fraud or communist spying on us.
The real issue is credibility. It has become fashionable to reject, scorn, and denigrate anyone who makes certain "unbelievable" allegations.
Mr. Curtis is a long time Republican who simply wants to advance the rule of law. He wants the right to be a whistleblower when his own party breaks the law and advocates vote fraud. I owe him the same … if anyone in my party does that I want to be a whistleblower too.
He will help his party to rid itself of those who have neither America’s nor Republican interests at heart by refusing to believe being of a certain party axiomatically purges one of any ability to do wrong.
I support him because he is a crusader for what is right. Just like I support Conyer for the same reason.
It would be very wrong to exploit Mr. Curtis and to feign appreciation of his cause just for political reasons!
That is why I like this BLOG. It eschews and rejects the notion that "crime is ok so long as it’s your own party doing it".
What sane politician would find that offensive?
PS: Republicans revoked the "privilege" of using a House Hearing Room! Again, as I have pointed out, this a serious structural failure of our constitutional democracy, when one group of Representatives can prevent another group from even holding a hearing on the Hill or seek to inhibit their own investigation.
This is the tyranny of a political party that must come to an end in either direction. When the Republicans meet in private conference to create and vote on legislation, completely ignoring Democratic and Independent input, they make meaningless the representation of millions of Americans. It’s time for those millions of Americans to stand up and be heard…and loudly!
Anyone suprised? Try LIVID! Who pays the rent where this "room" is located? The utilities, the upkeep? I gotta send one more email today. And make one more phone call tomorrow.
Just what I was going to say. Jeepers! Who do these gangsters think they are?! WE pay their bills and padded expense accounts right along with members of their own Family – probably a greater share, since Loopholes R Us are too canny/crooked to pay what they really owe. Not to mention the cuts granted them by the *-beast.
Is anyone else out there feeling more like a feudal serf than a free individual with a franchise?
Sheesh… get a couple of conspiracy theorists and partisan elected officials in a room and all of a sudden its a congressional hearing?? Like the "hearing" in Ohio, this is just a PUBLIC FORUM people!!!!
Rep. Deutch probably backed out because he realized that this is just another tinfoil tale. This guy probably also believes that Bush is to blame for last week’s tsunami too! Get a grip!
Hey Brad, been pretty inaccurate lately haven’t you!
Good lord! The republicans stole your room for a meeting!
hahahahhaah
Hey Bradley, where is Senator Bill Nelson on this thing? I can tell you! As far away from you two percent nut cases as he can get!
Freebird: what stopped your Re. Deutch from renting a meeting room at the Holiday Inn?
hahahahahaahah
Good lord! If this was not so sad watching you two percenters it would be hilarious!
Freebird: dont you have to get a job or something?
Oh, you’re one of those. My bad for responding previously, atty. I didn’t know you were just a troll.
~A!
Disaster, scandal, controversy, war, death, coruption, fear, how does your president sleep at night? you two are worse than nuts. I’ll sleep good tonight knowing I did my best today to bring his sorry ass down. I’ll keep on going even after he is out of office. I want him remembered this way in history. FOREVER
Nana: why didn’t you just rent a meeting room at a cheap hotel for Rep. Deutch and the other 3 people that showed up for the "forum"!
This is SSSOOOOO hilarious!
To all you guys you check in at all the blogs just to piss us off…once again, you people are so stupid you don’t even see the point…something I will never understand is how 2 people can read or see the same thing and walk away with completely 2 different perspectives…what a waste of space, and now, of course, I have contributed to it..so as long as you are reading this post I just as well make it more useful…
I know there will be many people that take a stand in Congress on Thursday….now you notice I didn’t mention a Senator…I "believe" that a Senator will stand or perhaps to be even more honest I hope that a Senator will take a stand, but you have to admit..if one could make a wish…I would wish that Obama would be the one to take the first stand…I KNOW if he did..others would quickly follow..so I end my post tonight with that…Obama..the Democratic Party’s last great hope for reclaiming that for which this great party once stood…Chow, T-Rod
Hey so silly and A-Jim,
I guess when Republicans have their partisan congressional meetings to decide the bills and their language, completely leaving out Democrats and Independents who represent millions of Americans, then that’s AOK! Well..it’s not! And it’s not going to be tolerated anymore by "We the people…". You all need to read my last quote from the Declaration of Independence!
You can make all the jokes and substantiveless comments you want, but we’re taking our efforts seriously enough to generate action. If there is no room on the Hill for a meeting and the Republicans don’t want to extend a courtesy of allowing the use of "our" government buildings, that is fine! And if through arrogance, disregard, and disrespect they seek to ignore the pending crisis, then they do so at their own peril.
Yes Jimmo…I have a job…Revolutionary! Viva la Revolucion!
I bet Jimmo wishes he had a job….
Atty Jim: *holds up "will troll for food" sign*
😉
Everyone, please ignore att jim from this time forward. Don’t respond to any of his pathetic ravings. He’s just looking for attention and we should stop giving it to him.
I agree with tastydc and all the others who have been saying "please don’t feed the troll". There are some other trolls around here who should not be fed either, in my opinion.
I don’t share the hope that they will go away if they are not fed, but I don’t see why they should be allowed to set the agenda. Brad has decided to let them troll here; that’s his decision and I respect it. But that doesn’t mean we have to read them. And it certainly doesn’t mean we have to respond.
If you get angry when you read their crap, then just stop reading it. It’s really not that hard to do.
jimmo, maybe you should read the roster of who attended Conyers’ forum. There were considerably more than 3, darlin. I find it odd that you’re so amused by the trashing of the republic, since your side talks alot about morality & patriotism. I’ll repeat my question: if you right-wingers have to rely so heavily on distortion, isn’t that an indication of a weak argument? I imagine you’ll say that the left also distorts, but a dispassionate perusal of the rhetoric on both sides seems to belie that claim.
Listened to the interview. Good grilling indeed. I would say the interview was a wash. Curtis didn’t articulate his case well enough to convert non-believers, but stuck to his guns and the faithful remain. Would it have helped just to say that he was naive about Feeney’s intentions at the time? And that he never thought that a non-open source code program could be contracted for voting?-Just asking. I understand Colmes’s intention. If the story were to truly go national, the press would eat him alive. Still, I think Curtis did well. Applause for Clinton Curtis.
"Atty Jim: *holds up "will troll for food" sign*"
I think it’s a "Will Litigate For Food" sign.
But then he might be guilty of practicing law without a license. If he represented himself he would definitely have a fool for a client, and an attorney. He’s probably just a paralegal. No, he’s probably the janitor.
It’s 11:00 a.m. in FL & I just read that Barbara Boxer SIGNED ON TO THE CHALLENGE
somebody pinch me….
