A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Tune in today 1pm ET/10am PT— we’ll be talking about John McCain’s failure to fully release his health records and his general decrepitude, which unleashes the terrible concept that Sarah Palin could become president (shudder).
Here’s the description and some additional links to check out.
Over 2,750 doctors have signed Brave New PAC’s open letter urging McCain to provide full, public disclosure of his medical records. And yet the corporate press has gone to great lengths to prevent the public from discussing this issue. Tune in to Meet the Bloggers this Friday at 1pm ET/10am PT, when special guest Dr. Richard Sagebiel will lead the calls for full disclosure and transparency from McCain on his health history. Dr. Richard Sagebiel is a pathologist in dermatology and co-director of the UCSF Melanoma Clinic.
Joining Dr. Sagebiel will be bloggers Cheryl Contee (Jack & Jill Politics), Charles Karel Bouley (The Huffington Post), and Ari Melber (The Nation), who will talk about how Brave New PAC’s ad on McCain’s medical records has been censored by the corporate press and attacked by right-wing shock jocks like Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh.
