Obama rapidly sinking in AfPakistan quicksand: the chilling repetition of Vietnam; Also, guest is Gina Downs of the Citizens Transportation Coalition in Naples, a national expert on the highway privatization scam that is selling off America’s public tax-payer built roads to corporations who then set up tolls and squeeze more profits out of us victims. Gina’s fighting the privatization of Alligator Ally on I-75; Also, former ACORN organizer Weaver, who helped sell boys into prostitution to build up their college tuition funds …. hey, just goofing, takes a look at how the Right has been working for years to destroy ACORN because it is organizing low and moderate income people to challenge corporate price setting power. We also look at the ILLEGAL recording antics of “the prostitute and her pimp” (who complained to Rutgers U. administrators that the elf on the Luck Charms cereal in the cafeteria was an anti-Irish stereotype) and the need for a management overhaul at ACORN to save and strengthen America’s largest community organizing group.
