ramped up their political spending campaign and face a lot of criticism from bloggers like myself from different media outlets they started seeing these attacks and reaching out to a set of private security firms pollens here h.b. gary federal and barrack oh and they asked them to come up with a group proposal to go after their perceived critics the proposals outlined a number of strategies but basically they were looking to hack and sabotage. their their adversaries and in february of this year because of unrelated. hacking from a group called anonymous these e-mails from one of the security firms a federal became public and we found out about this plot. and that brings us to today where there hasn't been a great amount of media attention but now congressional democrats are demanding an investigation. is. this is this seems like the kind of thing the e.u. if you try to catch terrorists that's exactly. the job of these firms. you know palance here basically did a demonstration for the chamber and in their demonstration according to these e-mails they showed the chamber that they had wo

some of those on the right are outraged conservative bloggers were busy today posting this story glenn beck site the blaze had the headline campus shock college sexuality professor presents live sex show for students and this story had hundreds of comments most of them were very stunned by this event over michelle malkin's website the headline read it worth western universities idea of her stimulation and the people were also very very outraged but what part of the human sexuality course are some students and conservatives missing here what did you expect the course to teach abstinence i think it sounds like a very creative way to keep her class engaged and that's why all those completely shocked by the live sex show are tonight still time winners. now are you tired of dealing with nut jobs in your state when arizona some residents and lawmakers have decided that it's time for them to see that's right some people in yuma county arizona which is in the southern part of the state and includes the city of tucson want to become arizona the fifty first state of the union the area has about

but more about it now we're joined live from california by ben cohen founder of the independent bloggers network band media group mr cohen evening to you frankly with r.t. i'm just picking up on the news we're hearing in the last hour that turkey it seems is now happy for nato to take over command of the libyan operation because one of the countries that concerns had been the civilian casualties from the air strikes how do you think the anchor is being won over there if indeed that is as it appears to be the case yes i think. contradict you say that i grew. up sorry given all that serco that we were so i'm probably just just repeating it in the last hour we hear the turkey's giving the thumbs up it was dragging its heels over letting nato take i just really wanted your thoughts what do you think swung it in the end if this news is true it seems to be what you think one third around nato's cause in the end. i'm not sure but i think it's kind of it is an interesting development that turkey's now i'm bored with this because i think they probably believe that there's enough perhaps there's e

and you see so i think that he's a master dissembler here and he clearly has that in or far left bloggers who care about his civil liberties you know someone who has not actually been tried and convicted so how how horrible of people writes it to care about someone that is still supposed to be innocent at this point but you know what also so interesting and you've mentioned this and what you've written people like joe biden you know we've had other defense officials as well who have all said that none of the documents released by wiki leaks have actually caused any real harm that they were just embarrassing for the u.s. and yet now they want to charge bradley manning was something that is a capital offense. chargesheet itself. looks poorly on the military he leaks things that reflected poorly on the military so basically we're going to throw him in a life with you know throw him in jail for life because he leaked things simply that were embarrassing to the military i mean that's absolutely nixonian you know nixon col daniel ellsberg. ellsberg of aiding and abetting the enemy and that is a

what doing that would balance the states like you're here to discuss it with me is a reporter and blogger for think progress dot org and the proper support at the center for american progress action fund so thanks so much for being here thanks for having me you know in everything that we've been hearing from governor walker all of his media appearances the speeches that he's given have you once heard him go back to some of the policies some of the legislation that was enacted it while he was governor those tax breaks that i think for the most part everyone agrees helped wisconsin's budget problems well here's the thing right when governors not only water but case numerous others throughout the country they're telling us that there's these are facing budget deficit so the way that they're going to solve these deficits is where slavery the middle class by slamming main street america will take you where you need rights. but they're not telling us about the corporate tax rates they passed about the special interest card their own tax loopholes in the tax code and other big corporations and b

in the report project alberto is also here in studio he is the military analyst and also an arche blogger and i want to talk about this idea of selling the message you know . as an american led involvement anywhere. public support is important so why is this a bad thing well it's a bad way it's a bad thing i think good because if it's conference and interesting american people because the pentagon is paid to make war that's why we hire the pentagon and pay them billion dollars because the pentagon makes war politician dispose of their wants to bring peace and the american people are supposed to be asked their opinion in this republic in this democracy so that's why it's a problem if it's contrary to the will desire of the people then it should be said no to i want to bring money libya into this we're starting to learn a little bit more each day about what's going on there are some reports coming in this as one of the things that the u.s. military is doing is using these science i'm trying khadafi soldiers to try to change their mind about him i asked of course came up big in discussion th

university of kentucky and blogger at lawyers guns and money and i thank you both for joining me tonight and taking to start with you real quick i mean chris call this a war already have you noticed that the obama administration not in their language to congress not in their language the public they keep calling this a limited humanitarian intervention but guess what bombs are flying people are dying it's a war why can't they say it well they don't have the political strength to the definition of war is when you drop bombs that is and it is war if people are dying that's a war the reason that obama doesn't want to call it a war is because obama doesn't have control not one of the pentagon it also doesn't have control of is is is part of his parliament if you will the congress he also doesn't have it of his cabinet the one the reason that we got in this war was the secretary clinton susan rice strong armed him pushed him compelled him to be a part of this war he looked and said i don't think he's actually a weakling secretary gates on his national security security adviser told him specif

it's a really great point and it's one that the feminist blogger that i interviewed also brought up which is that if the u.s. is using the women's issue as a justification for its presence there what about the fact that war is horrible for women and for children at that matter i mean the u.n. report that came out this month showing that two thousand and ten was the worst year for civilian casualties so far in afghanistan of the twenty seven hundred seventy seven casualties that that report detailed more than half of those are women and children it's more than eleven hundred that are women and five hundred some that are children so the war is by no means good for women if you look at the numbers that are dying and the lives that are being affected not no two of women one interesting kind of anecdote when you look at the fact that the u.s. has pushed the women's issue is just recently just this month a very prominent afghan feminist and also a critic of the war and she was elected to the afghan parliament she was actually denied a visa to get into the united states or promote her book a wom
