Good morning Mala. How was your weekend?



Sounds like DC is getting the same weather we're having. We're only supposed to get up to the low 50's today.

Comcast, which has a history of censoring political content is STILL

abusing their monopoly power to suppress political speech. Last week

in San Francisco they REFUSED to accept the new Shirley Golub TV ad,

in her congressional primary challenge against Nancy Pelosi.

Apparently they did not take kindly to Golub's comparison of the

political behavior of the current Speaker of the House to a rubber

chicken, for her cowardice in not standing up to the Bush

administration. But that's not their call, and in the meantime the 3

major non-cable broadcast outlets ARE running the ad and they all

think it's a delightful hoot.



The real problem is that Shirley wanted to place these ads

specifically to support Keith Olbermann on MSNBC cable, and Comcast

by their action is making it immensely harder for her to mobilize

those who are Olbermann's viewers, her natural base. It is simply

outrageous for Comcast to refuse to air perfectly acceptable

political speech because THEY don't like the content. We must flood

them with complaints, or Olbermann himself, with his own

uncompromising commentary, may not be far behind.



The action page above will send your message of complaint to Comcast

CEO Brian Roberts, and let Keith Olbermann and MSNBC know what's

going on.



With more that 30,000 YouTube views already this amazing TV ad is

having a real impact. It was a featured news story for a full news

cycle the first day it aired. And it is only because of your

contributions that this is happening. Please watch it again, and if

you can make a donation to run even more of these spots on the

stations that are accepting them, we can really put the heat on

Comcast.

You can make a real difference right now by telling Comcast that they

need to back off. And if you can make a contribution of $100 or more,

Shirley wants to send you one of the new bright orange "IMPEACH BOTH"

caps to wear proudly. And if you can be a "tell it like it is" angel

and donate $1,000 or more, Shirley will also send you one of her

custom embroidered, satin baseball award jackets with the "I'm On The

Table" message.



Keith Olberman himself has said much more unflattering things about

members of the Bush administration than calling them chickens, and

that's why we love him, for his truth telling. And it is critical for

Shirley mobilize the audience who watches Olbermann on cable, and in

particular because only on cable can she focus on her constituents

exactly within the limits of her congressional district.



The courage of Shirley Golub is a breaking news story. With your help

in a matter of days we can break her out as true national leadership

figure, and then won't Nancy Pelosi be running scared.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed

to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

There is, indeed. There was a name for it when the Republicans were using that kind of lousy rhetoric to good effect: it was called the Southern strategy, although it was hardly limited to the South. Now the Clintons, in their desperation to find some way -- any way -- back to the White House, have leapt aboard that sorry train.



He can't win! Don't you understand? He's black! He's black!



The Clintons have been trying to embed that gruesomely destructive message in the brains of white voters and superdelegates for the longest time. It's a grotesque insult to African-Americans, who have given so much support to both Bill and Hillary over the years.







But it's an insult to white voters as well, including white working-class voters. It's true that there are some whites who will not vote for a black candidate under any circumstance. But the United States is in a much better place now than it was when people like Richard Nixon, George Wallace and many others could make political hay by appealing to the very worst in people, using the kind of poisonous rhetoric that Senator Clinton is using now
