Allison Kilkenny & Jamie Kilstein: Democrats Missing Something
August 19, 2010Democrats are backing down over freedom of religion, Social Security privatization, and pretty much anything else we can think of these days in the name of winning midterm elections. Funny, we thought we were voting for people who believed in something.Frank Schaeffer, Jamie Kilstein & Allison Kilkenny, and John Lennon
August 18, 2010What's happening as the manufactured controversy over the "Ground Zero Mosque" continues, Frank Schaeffer notes, is nothing less than a new form of antisemitism--one directed this time at Muslims and people of Arab descent. Schaeffer, a former member of the religious right, notes that if comments like the ones being made at the Muslim community were being made about American Jews, there would be outrage, but Islamophobia is socially acceptable now.Media Failures Make Comedy Gold
January 5, 2010Jamie Kilstein and Allison Kilkenny are co-hosts of Citizen Radio, a cheerfully foulmouthed political-comedy radio program. Allison is also a blogger/journalist, and Jamie is also a stand-up comic. They join Laura in studio to pick over the media's failures and debate the proper place of comedy in the news.Uprising in Iran, Comedy and News, and Gaza
January 4, 2010The triumphant stories about how Twitter was going to save Iran may have died down a little, but the resistance in Iran is growing and swelling. Protest on the Shia festival day of Ashura, December 27, resulted in the most violent crackdown since June and the death of opposition presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi's nephew.
