welcome back to take action is a
repetitive issue sir you're just try to
get something before the end
businesses wires courses arlington
existence i think that's if you want you
to be conceded there and i spoke to my
wife
stillwater pollens studio
yes this is the show which i was going
on in the world we could influence
outcomes are now not only can you hear a
similar syndicated stations across the
nation around the world and also on the
internet
you conceive
customer that just
we have started broadcasting on him to
take action news tv search for that i
need to do find us we're starting you
know sparring slowly once you have a
one-shot acacia loop overshadow some of
our guests
uh... eventually though we can have a
little like a multi camera system here
we go there or sean's constrictions
conflict regular television
regular broadcast television late and
this little station to station that
could
here in anacostia
weddings were dedicated to is trying to
ram provided everybody with accurate
information about the world around us
and reminding everybody of things that
you can do to china
help our citizens of the citizenry serve
the greater good
by having after discussions after
conversations and so that's one of the
reasons why we often focus on
conservative media because in my mind
nobody has done more
today alleged and do what i am
dumb down the american elected in that
conservative media has over the past
several years
and use a good example there was a new
poll they cannot buy the nonpartisan
public policy polling organization known
as p p p
inderpal they found that forty nine
percent
of republicans forty nine percent of
republicans one out of almost one out of
every two believe that eight corner
acorn stole the election from mit romney
now in court as an abbreviation form
association of community organizations
to reform it now
it's a group that uh... got federal
funding
i was involved in trying to help people
registered to vote
but here's the problem here is why
disposal amazing forty-nine percent
believe acorn was involved in
stealing the election from nami
acorn
lost its funding by congress in two
thousand and nine
hostile span in two years ago a carton
dosn't exist
it doesn't exist it's impossible for a
court of stolen the election for twelve
weeks
because the organization isn't around
anymore
we got forty nine percent republicans
are convinced
acorn somehow selection for mit romney
it is remarkable so who's to blame like
what i think it fox news and rush
limbaugh and all the conservative media
they meet equal it really a punching bag
they focus so heavily in a corn back in
two thousand ninety thousand tenants
i mean any corn was unjustly ike accused
in my opinion but in any case equine was
disbanded
but it's not just
it's not just sort of
the acorn issue when you wanna talk
about this information on the right
there was another incident this past
week in which
there was a treaty that has been
approved by a hundred twenty nations and
the idea of the treaty and was up for a
vote in nine states senate
and the treaty basically said that the
world should have the same standards
that the united states has at the
americans with disabilities act a law
that was passed many years ago
but the world should adopt addition be
equal access and opportunity for people
with disabilities
and what the treaty
basically in order for trees to be
approved they have to get two-thirds of
the vote in the united states senate
and as part of this effort was a it was
entrance to the senate by john kerry
disagrees addition to no brainer
right and he was simply the world is
adopting the same standards the united
states
but they became this sort of
misinformation campaign in some circles
conservative needing to take a look
labor my god
the united states is going to be subject
to international standards and
disabilities and what does it mean for
everybody wants all the children that
deductibility rail senator cost a lot of
money
to provide wheelchair access in their
homes
even though this is malarkey
passover the americans with disabilities
act does and we're not subjecting the
united states to international standards
about disabilities
we would simply be by approving this
treaty saying that you know we endorse
the idea that the world should follow
housing and has had nothing to do with
homeschooling wouldn't cost
homeschoolers and dot
and yet there was enough misinformation
out there
that this became a close vote
and so
supporters of this measure
who said oh yeah we should approve this
treaty including john mccain
who was injured in vietnam
invited bob dole
in a wheelchair
the former senate republican majority
leader to take the floor of the united
states senate and say here's why we
should support
we should vote yes on the street
some bob dole was almost ninety years
old in principle health shows up in a
wheelchair keep in mind bob dole former
senate majority leader his republican
nominee for president in nineteen ninety
six
he suffered wounds
from a service in world war two his
press no more revered figure alive in
politics today than bob dole
areas in the role of the senate
and what republicans do
i'm bob dole
and then they vote against this thing
this vote failed
itself five or six votes short of
passage because thirty eight republicans
decided to vote against it
it's rediculous
and the reason they've already are they
were concerned about what the students
going
women as you and i could go on and on
about the misinformation campaign in and
but
this is i mean
it how do you vote against this i mean
in baffles the mind united state senator
and you can't get accurate information
about what it really is supposed to do
to defend the person but it did
ticks me off the most the person that
whose opposition to pay off the most
was rick santorum
because rick santorum at the end of day
it always seemed kinda late ki
had hit hard by gas trees committed to
his family obviously his daughter was
born with some with a very debilitating
to surgeon eric disability
he ki could be reasonable on this one
instead he was i have no idea whether
he's ingenuous
or whether he's a demigod but his
inaugural column at the venerable
redwing website worldnet daily
this truly crushes u_s_ sovereignty
in in and he made all kinds of absurd
claims
surfing the flames of fear
about
about this interfering with with
families personal lives and how it can
even affect
his daughters for old or bellow at that
this horrible disease trisomy eighteen
he said so if the state cannot carry i
would have the final word on what is in
the best interest of a child like bella
what chance would have apparent have to
get appropriate care in the days of
increasingly government-funded medical
care
so it's not just it's a
this is all part of in his mind it's all
part of you know
it's just like a bala carrots you know
it's one step further don't even bother
to look at the details it's its owner
fred at hand
i'd just ideas jumped out of my sweater
vests fire events that's how that's how
surprised and shocked i was even by rick
santorum and that gets to and another
issue that i think is related to all
this and that is that people say why
burning conservative media division sir
why why not blame the rec centers all
over the fact that manas rick santorum
the failed
in a presidential candidate who
was defeated in his last race for united
states senate hearing of course for
president and he didn't get the
nomination
he was given a platform by worldnet
daily world that deal is another one of
these conservative rags
conserve the provocation is it has
no standards
in my view no decency no integrity
there's no basic ethics in terms of the
journals and that they
claim to practice at worldnet daily
instead of becomes a place or anybody
with any kind of wild freakish
conspiracy theory from the right has a
platform or they can a spouse it and so
there's rick sent alarm espousing this
crazy argument do worldnet daily
claiming that somehow passage of this
u_n_ treaty
with a hundred and twenty other nations
have passed by the way saying that well
yeah
the world should adopt the united states
standards when it comes to disability
access
there's lexington claiming that somehow
if we pass this tree all my goodness for
taking away our sovereignty and that's
going up on the ability of people home
school their children
to be able to do just that it was
absolute nonsense
it was crap units anybody at worldnet
daily had bothered to other read the
treaty
are doing basic fact checking on what
what what rick santorum was claiming
they would've rejected mixing a tone but
they don't care about the fax and he
gets to another thing that i've been
playing out for example and in a column
about death foxnews right fox news is
the latest thing is that time of year as
a claim that there's a war on christmas
because there are these efforts to they
claim to take away
you know christmas celebrations and
whether the uses as evidence they claim
although there's a religious enough
being taken away from some display in a
town townhall government bowling
well in order to be able to see that
there's a war christmas in that case you
have to
you have to specifically
not now you have to make sure you have
no idea that the supreme court actually
ruled on the stock in the supreme court
after will several years ago
that they could not be
religious scenes on government property
that is for the church in separation
separation of church and state
you can have christmas trees a kind of
hannukah noise you cannot have the birth
of baby jesus
on government property
that's where the loneliness but if
you're deliberately ignorant if you
don't do any research in what the
supreme court has done
if you don't know anything about the
laws of separation of church and state
censure or you can look at the camera he
can deliver the stray face almighty god
there's a lot of christmas because
some community is being told they can't
have a really pissing on government
property
it's a willful endurance
it's willful ignorance about christmas
which i don't think there's an issue
that has a right now it's more
entertaining to me
but particularly matters in terms of
u_s_ inning when you're talking about
a tree
or a particular matters even more when
you're talking about the legitimacy of
this president of the united states
because here we have forty
nine percent of republicans
who believe exactly's of combat
taken hold in the deliver the selection
unfairly for president bob
based although action from the ground
wise on these
his i'd believe zombies of the
characters that come back from the dead
in heart all of us
well that's what it would take to
believe that e-card actually stole the
selection because a car was killed
fairly or not they call it does appear
to years ago
garnett acorn couldn't possibly have
stolen election even if you want to
believe that acorns
even if you want to go to the collection
was stolen from it run he would you come
up with something a little bit more
plausible
but that's the kind of this information
that we have and when you have that
level misinformation and that level of
cooking this on the right in people
willing to believe anything that it
becomes much more difficult
to solve the real serious issues that we
have in this country
such as
doing with the deficit
dealing with the economy trying to
figure out how we're doing things like
climate change all these sort of issues
then require at least some basic level
of fax if you cannot agree on basic
facts
becomes that much more difficult for us
to solve our problems
and that conservative media and the
other guy i suppose you could find some
examples online on on the left of
liberal media didn't mean to be a
special effects minimize your
the conservative media has just been
outrageous in the way that uh... they
their willfully ignorant of basic facts
dumb down the american electrically
misinformed reviewers and their
listeners and it makes it even more
difficult then for republicans
who represent those people who actually
have an honest discussion
because there are these incredible
pressure put on them by
folks like rush limbaugh on fox news
which are deliberately misinforming
unbelievable
so there we have a coming up in the
minds of his great segment how it should
be
we're going to talk a little bit about
may roll off marijuana and how it
should be in our society to take action
isn't it
