[Peace-discuss] Governor signs Israeli bill; not opposed by local Democrats

[C. G. Estabrook]

"News from Neptune" began in the summer of 1990 as an hour-long discussion on Saturday mornings on radio station WEFT in Champaign. That spawned a newspaper column in a C-U weekly and the online magazine CounterPunch, and a website <newsfromneptune.com <http://newsfromneptune.com/>>. 

In 2008, after a dispute with WEFT, I moved the program to Urbana Public Television, where it appears Fridays at 7pm (and on YouTube). 

I also anchor a weekly panel discussion by a local antiwar group, “AWARE on the Air,” cablecast on UPTV Tuesdays at 10pm (and on YouTube). 

My former radio partner, Paul Mueth, has since continued to do a program on WEFT at 10am Saturdays. —CGE

>>> You are a painfully single-issue twat. You have zero political nous. You fail to understand that Scott Bennett and Carol Ammons are good representatives of Champaign Urbana despite that they are not Green Party members and despite that they do not always agree with you sir, You show no tolerance of the compromises Carol and Scott are forced to make as working politicians attempting to achieve the policies they perceive as most important for our C-U constituency. You fail to understand, let alone acknowledge the cut and thrust of state politics. You try to bask in your former glory as a past candidate, without ever grasping the real reason why you never got elected. Because you are uncompromising. You pontificate on your radio program with obnoxious opinions, consistently displaying your inability to listen to others’ points of view.

The bill supports Israeli apartheid: they would not have refused to vote against a bill supporting South African apartheid a generation ago.
