NBC to appeal to keep Kucinich out of debate

Kucinich eliminated because he asked for vote recount

Of course MSNBC (80% owned by General Electric) doesn’t want Kucinich to be in the debate. General Electric is a nuclear powerhouse and Dennis Kucinich has been an enemy of nuclear power for years.

Kucinich: “This is the third time in two months that President Bush has actively and systematically sought to deceive the American public into thinking Iran is threatening security around the world”

Big media trying to chose who we vote for is beyond the pale.

Court Orders MSNBC to allow Kucinich to Participate in Nevada Debate

Judge Grants Kucinich Entry to NV Debate

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Nevada judge said Monday that Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich must be included in Tuesday's candidates' debate in Nevada.

Senior Clark County District Court Judge Charles Thompson said if Kucinich is excluded, he'll issue an injunction stopping the televised debate.

The judge sided with a lawyer for the Ohio congressman, who says debate host MSNBC at first invited Kucinich to take part and then told him last week he couldn't.

A lawyer for the network said MSNBC decided to go with the top three candidates after the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries.

The judge called it a matter of fairness and said Nevada voters will benefit if they hear from more than just Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards.

The cable network and the Democratic Party are calling the 9 p.m. EST debate a chance to hear issues from Nevada's minority communities. Tim Russert and Brian Williams are moderating.

Nevada’s seven-member supreme court overturned the district court and said General Electric / NBC does not have to honor the contract it signed with Kucinich.

Ordinary people must wait months or years to get into a state supreme court, but General Electric / NBC got a hearing in minutes.

And so the debate featured only Hillary, Obama, and Edwards.

The credit card companies brought all three of these creeps. All three voted to make it almost impossible for average Americans to get bankruptcy protection.

Kucinich is the only remaining Democratic Presidential candidate who voted against the original Iraq invasion. He consistently votes against funding for the war as well. General Electric (owner of NBC) is a war profiteer.

Another reason why General Electric / NBC eliminated Kucinich (in addition tot he fact that Kucinich called for a recount of the Diebold results in New Hampshire) is that General Electric makes many components in nuclear power plants, and wants to dump radioactive waste in Nevada, where the waste will remain deadly for tens of thousands of years.

Kucinich opposes this, as do 90% of the people of Nevada, plus Senate majority leader Harry Reid from Nevada.

Therefore General Electric vowed to destroy Kucinich.

IN OTHER NEWS Kucinich refused to sign a loyalty oath to the Texas state Democratic Party, saying it violated his First Amendment right to free speech. On Friday a federal judge ruled that this would keep Kucinich out of Texas primary scheduled for March 4. Kucinich and singer Willie Nelson appealed that ruling. The case now goes to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

So in Texas there will only be Hillary, Obama, and Edwards.

The bitch, the wind-up doll, and the rhesus monkey. All three favor the Iraq war.
