Every Thursday, I’m joined by Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny.com and the Blue America PAC. Since leaving his post as president of Reprise Records years ago, Howie has put his energies to work to make the US a more progressive nation. To that end, he blogs at DownWithTyranny.com, and founded the Blue America PAC. Along with Digby and Crooks & Liars’ John Amato, Howie vets potential candidates, and helps the true progressives among them by raising money and helping to get others on board. Today, one of Blue America’s endorsed candidates joins us: Erica Smith, running for the US Senate from North Carolina. Her site is ericaforus.com. As usual, we’ll start with the latest news, which today includes an attack on the thousands of people trying to escape from the Taliban at the Kabul airport. The latest reports says 12 US soldiers were killed, along with a number of civilians, and many injured. The military is warning that they believe more similar attacks are imminent.
