No Talk Express: Sarah Palin Bans Reporters from UN Meetings

2008-10-06T16:50:52Z

The McCain campaign continues to keep a bubble around Sarah Palin, refusing to allow the press or voters to ask her questions for fear her lack of domestic and foreign policy knowledge becomes more evident.

VIA AP:

NEW YORK - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who has not held a press conference in nearly four weeks of campaigning, on Tuesday banned reporters from her first meetings with world leaders, allowing access only to photographers and a television crew.

CNN, which was providing the television coverage for news organizations, decided to pull its TV crew, effectively denying Palin the high visibility she had sought.

Obama on Gay Rights - Richard Goldstein

2008-09-09T16:33:03Z

Complete video at: fora.tv

Journalist Richard Goldstein argues that gay rights advocates should not expect a hypothetical President Obama to be a leader on gay issues, and should instead focus their efforts on affecting change in the U.S. Congress.

-----

Efforts to overcome discrimination based on sexual orientation have been part of a more generalized agenda of civil rights. These efforts have been played out in the streets, in major institutions, and in the courts.

What do the politics of statewide elections and the presidential race of 2008 tell us about efforts to remedy the effects of discrimination on gays, lesbians and transgendered individuals?

The panelists who will deal with issues of marriage and the family, employment, health and well-being to assess electoral politics and the interests of a gay constituency include Judith Stacey, professor of Social and Cultural Analysis, Sociology Department, NYU Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality and author of In the Name of the Family: Rethinking Family Values in the Postmodern Age; Shannon Minter, legal director of The National Center for Gay Rights and lead attorney for same-sex couples in the marriage case recently decided by the California Supreme Court, and Richard Goldstein, journalist and author of Homocons: Liberal Society and the Gay Right.

Moderated by Robert-Jay Green, Executive Director, Rockway Institute, Alliant International University. Sponsored by the Wolfson Center for National Affairs in partnership with the Alliant International University's Rockway Institute for Science and LGBT Public Policy - The New School

Richard Goldstein writes about the connections between pop culture, politics and sexuality. He is the author of Homocons: Liberal Society & The Gay Right.

John McCain: Speech 04/21/08

John McCain
Speech
Selma, AL 04/21/08

TRANSCRIPT:
QUESTIONER: "Senator McCain you said you're here to listen to people in areas like this. What are some of the issues that you're hearing specifically from folks in Selma, Alabama . . .?"

JOHN MCCAIN: "The mayor of Selma brought up several issues with me as well the mayor of Thomasville as well as Sen. Sanders. One of the major challenges that small business people face, and it's getting worse, is access to credit . . . we all know that most of the jobs in America are created by small businesses. Most of the taxes in America are paid by small businesses . . . and there is not only not an increased availability to credit . . . but, according to many, many people I've talked to, there is a beauracracy that's impossible to find your way through and it's called the Small Business Administration. That's gotta be fixed [applause]. The second area that we need to concentrate on . . . is our community colleges . . . we need to have every community college in America provided with the wherewithal to educate and train workers, particularly displaced workers who have lost their job through no fault of their own . . . I'm not a protectionist . . . "

Global Pulse - 06/12/08: Turkey's Headscarf Battle

2008-08-07T16:53:45Z

(June 12, 2008) To ban or not to ban, that is the issue in Turkey. The pro-Islamic government tried to overturn a ban on women wearing headscarves in the universities. But the Supreme Court says no, lifting the ban would violate Turkey's strict constitution that separates church and state. For violating the constitution the ruling party could be banned from politics - a controversial move as the
party has been elected twice by the people.

2008-06-14T15:31:55Z

(February 21, 2008) Turkey's ban on women's headscarves kept religious women from attending college. Is the lifting of the ban a liberalization, helping equalize the poor and the rich? Or is it a step on the slippery slope toward Islamization? As Europe continues to mull over Turkey's bid to join the EU, the answer will have serious consequences.

2008-06-10T21:30:32Z

Turkey's political leaders are looking at whether a ban on women wearing headscarves in universities should be lifted. The ban is the subject of fierce debate in the country - to some it's about freedom of expression, to others it's a threat to Turkey's secular constitution. But now, the ruling AK party appears to have enough support in parliament to overturn the ban. Zeynep Piyade is a primary school teacher - she gives us her views on why she thinks it's a woman's right to wear the headscarf wherever she wants.
