Farai Chideya, Dr. Joycelyn Elders, Jane Hamsher & Nathan Newman
October 20, 2010It's nearly the homestretch for the 2010 midterm elections, and unsurprisingly, race remains a hot topic. From a new ad in Nevada urging Latinos not to vote to Sharron Angle's latest comments about Latino youth looking Asian, and ongoing concern that black voters will not turn out in numbers like they did in 2008, it's clear that no matter how much candidates deny it, race is this season's hot button.Dr. Joycelyn Elders: Marijuana, Masturbation and Medicine
October 20, 2010Dr. Joycelyn Elders is no stranger to making controversial statements in public, so her support of California's Proposition 19, the marijuana legalization ballot initiative, shouldn't be surprising. After all, years ago she was ousted as Bill Clinton's Surgeon General after noting that a discussion of masturbation should be part of educating young people on avoiding HIV infection.Robert Greenwald, Funding the Arts, and Primary Victories
September 15, 2010"Where are we, where is the passion, where is the organizing when millions of people are in deep pain and fear over the economic collapse?" asks Robert Greenwald, founder and president of Brave New Films. While his videos have been viewed 50 million times now by progressive activists, Greenwald wants to see more organizing, more outreach, more movement-building from the left.The F Word: Sexy Primary Victories On Both Sides
September 15, 2010The other day on the show, Melissa Harris-Lacewell suggested media "need to be covering the left as much as we cover, with anxiety, the right.” Anxiety reached a fever pitch Tuesday night with the Tea Party primary victory for Christine O'Donnell, anti-masturbation crusader, in Delaware's Senate race. The New York Times breathlessly headlines “G.O.P. Insurgents Win in Del. and N.Y.” and goes on for several paragraphs without even mentioning Democratic primaries, let alone noting that there were some insurgent victories there as well.
