Seeing Red Radio: The One-State Solution and the Truth behind the Employee Free Choice Act 5/21/09

seeingredTony — Fri, 29 May 2009 18:42:12 +0000

The Two-State Solution is a non-starter with the Zionist regime of Netanyahu. On this edition of SRR we examine the proposal for a secular one-state that represents all of the people of historic Palestine. We also expose the heinous lies of pro-corporate opponents of the Employee Free Choice Act, including the glaring statistic that reveals the number of unfair labor practice filings with the National Labor Review Board against unions amounts to “only 42 cases of misconduct over seven decades—while there are nearly 30,000 unfair labor practices against workers by companies every year.” So much for “union intimidation”… We also commemorate the end of the first acquisition of state power by the working class, the Paris Commune, when it was violently suppressed in 1871.

–Bill Clinton is angry with Republicans over the MoveOn.org Petraeus “distraction,” as he refers to it.
