Green Party nominating convention live streaming

Will write more about my experience at the Green Party Nominating Convention in Baltimore, MD, but for now, you can watch it live:

Watch live streaming video from greenpartyus at livestream.com

You can also catch it on C-SPAN, and I'm very excited that Democracy NOW! has based their show out of Baltimore to cover the Green Party convention in depth.

WOW - The Green Party doesn't deserve matching funds when the money is wasted on people like Jill Stein (0.00 / 0)
In the first 10 seconds of the video Jill Stein asks Cheri Honkala to run for VP ????

Incase any of you were wondering, Cheri Honkala was the girl running for Sherriff of Phili => http://www.greenmassgroup.com/...

You may remember me pointing out to the rest of the Greens on this board that she has no law enforcement experience and no experience in corrections.  Cheri does joke about the fact that she was arrested over 200 times though . . .

This is why Jill Stein only pulls in 3% of the vote (in a good year).  She's just not a serious contender.

Curious about this (0.00 / 0)
Would have been banner headlines had it occurred at either of the major conventions, but I'm unable to find anything more about it (so maybe sometimes the lack of coverage is a good thing?)...

"Saturday's convention at downtown Holiday Inn quickly became a battleground when Barr's delegation coordinator, national party co-chair Farheen Hakeem, made what some considered racist accusations against several party members in a speech."


Yup - Farheen Hakeem works for the Roseanne Barr Campaign and is also the National Co-chair of the Green Party of the United States (0.00 / 0)
according to Roseanne Barr who is still running for President ... see "National Lavender Green Caucus" => http://www.lavendergreens.us/l...

But yeah another day another circus for the Green Party.  I think these people should be ashamed.  The Obama Recession has taken a toll on the American Family yet we now have to divert tax money to give to Jill Stein and her bigoted party chair, Farheen Hakeem.

Hey Horan I found the crazy lady you were talking about .... (0.00 / 0)
She said she was getting shit on by people while she was out campaigning for Roseanne Barr.  She said

"And no matter how racist some of you choose to be" I will continue to support Roseanne Barr etc etc.  

Can't wait for the clip once it gets uploaded to youtube.

The money shot is at 5:55 and it's awesome!  Even Eli would be like 'holy shit ... this girl is crazy.'

Horan! Check this shit out ... she's like a Jill Stein only she hasn't had a chance to lose as many races like Stein ... (0.00 / 0)
In 2005 she ran for Mayor of Miniapolis and lost
In 2006 she ran for County Commissioner and lost
In 2008 she ran for State rep and lost

After losing 3 strait she ran for co-chair of the National Green Party and was elected ... which brings us to today where she just called a crowd of Green Party Members "Racists."

Roseanneand her cohort make Stein and Co. look like Obama-Axelrod (0.00 / 0)
Yikes. Calling out Manski from the podium? This looks like WAY more fun than our tedious GRP Conventions.

Greens need to learn some basics, though. You don't let the cameria capture empty seats in the front row. Ouch. And you never ever try to read your speech of a freaking phone. Embarassing to have those gaps.

Roseanne and her cohort were simply embarassing. I did follow some similar stuff on the GPUS FB page.Insults flying hot and heavy.

Good, though, that she brought up the Palestinians, since that's a front-burner issue for so many Americans...

Now we just need to help Eli see the light. (0.00 / 0)
I hate to see the kid put in so much effort for these clowns.  I think he would be great working for the Republican Party!  I'm trying to recruit him.  All the other Republicans at HQ are interested and I promised them that I'd have the guy on board in a couple more months.

And that was a great catch BTW ... (0.00 / 0)
Farheen Hakeem sounds like a blast at a party.  Imagine how fun it would be to set her off!  

Pretend you don't see her and when she's close enough ... put on a fake Southern accent and say "Roseanne Barr as head of the Green Party ... why I'd never!"

"And you never ever try to read your speech of a freaking phone" (0.00 / 0)
LOL I know!  That was crazy ...

And Horan ... I DO want to hang out now!  We can get 3 tickets to Farheen's next speech and we'll call her cell while she's trying to deliver it!  We'll make Eli sit in the middle so he can get out of the row ... and see if he breaks down and rats us out.  I'd love to see the guy stand up and say "OK these are the A-Holes that keep calling Farheen's cell. God I hate these guys!"

Oh god man ... listening to this guy "Gar Alperovitz" is painful. (0.00 / 0)
He's at the podium speaking in generalities so obscure that I don't even know what he's talking about.  He fades in and out ... first with "the Problem" here he's pretty clear ... than he offers his solution and he's right back to "blah blah land" ...

"If the system fails it falls in the hands of the Republicans"  "If the system breaks to the left WE will be unprepaired to take over" - Gar Alperovitz

I'm going to look for this ass hole on youtube in 24 hours because I really want to know what the hell he's talking about.

Quotes
"The time has come for global action to build a new world economic system that is no longer based on the illusion that limitless growth is possible on our precious and finite planet or that endless material gain promotes well-being. Instead, it will be a system that promotes harmony and respect for nature and for each other; that respects our ancient wisdom traditions and protects our most vulnerable people as our own family, and that gives us time to live and enjoy our lives and to appreciate rather than destroy our world. It will be an economic system, in short, that is fully sustainable and that is rooted in true, abiding well-being and happiness."
--Prime Minister Jigmi Thinley of Bhutan, where the government tracks the nation's "Gross National Happiness"
