Excerpt: The morning after Bush announced an open-ended
- possibly permanent - military occupation of Iraq
the premier U.S. newspapers ran headlines about
the President ordering "troop cuts," itself a troubling
reminder of how the American people got into
this mess.
The New York Times' lead headline read: "Bush
Says Success Allows Gradual Troop Cuts."
The Washington Post went with: "Bush Tells Nation
He Will Begin to Roll Back 'Surge.'"
Yet, despite Bush's long history of wishful
thinking - or delusions - about Iraq, the major newspapers still gave Bush the headlines
he wanted.
A shot of Chinaco for the honesty of Robert Parry.
"For all those who ask whether the fight in
Iraq is worth it, imagine an Iraq where militia groups backed by Iran
control large parts of the country."
-- America's Murder Monkey, Link
Imagine an Iraq that wasn't a problem until
a little boy with a hardon for oil invaded.
Imagine 3,792
still-living soldiers eating supper with their wives and kids every night.
Imagine the Word Trade Centers still standing.
Imagine a Treasury spilling over with surplus
money.
Imagine a world where America isn't hated.
Imagine a president who could watch football
and chew a pretzel at the same time.
Imagine a president who could be honest
about the times he's been arrested.
Imagine a president who didn't giggle when
he ordered the deaths of others.
Imagine a president who put in a 40 hour
work week, 48 weeks a year.
Imagine a president who wasn't following
orders of a non-existent entity.
Imagine a president who embraced science
over religious insanity.
Imagine a Commander in Chief who listened
to his generals.
Imagine a president who believed in the
Rule of Law.
Imagine a president who respected the US
Constitution.
Excerpt: The Senate Ethics Committee has stepped up its
probe of Pete Domenici, the corrupt Republican bastard
from New Mexico, who pressured David Iglesias,
the former US attorney, to return an indictment against a
local Democratic official who was the target
of a corruption investigation prior to the 2006 midterm elections.
The Ethics Committee has been interviewing witnesses
- including staffers from the US attorney's office in New
Mexico - who were privy to a phone call Domenici
made to Iglesias last November in which the bastard asked
the prosecutor about the timing of an indictment
against an innocent Democrat. Congressional ethics rules
prohibit lawmakers from contacting federal agency
officials during ongoing probes.
Iglesias, a non-corrupt Republican, believes his
termination was due to his staunch refusal to allow investigations
he had undertaken to be politicized in
order to swing the November 2006 midterm elections toward Republicans.
Excerpts: And for what? For democracy in Iraq? As if anyone
in the U.S. government really cares about the Iraqi people?
We are there to make money for Cheney's corporation,
Halliburton. We are there for oil. When insurgents kill
Americans, its not big news - for a reason. The
powers that be do not want a true audit of the War in Iraq, and the
cowed American media is more than happy to accommodate
them. More than anything, the mainstream media is
part of the problem. Now here's a real tragedy
- what it takes to get play in the mainstream media. Billions of dollars
are missing from the department of defense, eight
U.S. attorney generals were fired in an unprecedented political coup,
and the biggest news stories of the year are
Paris Hilton and Anna Nicole Smith.
A shot of Chinaco for someone not
only demanding answers, but he was
willing to keep demanding answers when they said,
"Be quiet and sit down."
While listening to Randi Rhodes last night (9/19/07),
Medea Benjamin from Code Pink was the guest.
According to Medea, Hillary has the best (or
worst, depending on your view) goons.
I say "Horse hockey," and Randi always
says, "Don't believe everything you hear
- even from me." In that interview, Medea said,"That's
why we all carry camcorders, to record this thuggery like the taser incident in Florida." So
where is the "thuggery" video from the Clintondevil Campaign?
She said that Hillary's security people are much
worse than Bush's even.
Ask yourself - Does that ring true?
She said that it's easy to get past the Bush guys,
but she and her Pinkettes
are recognized and excluded even in civilian
clothes.
Objection!
Irrelevant, immaterial and wholly without foundation.
Clearly, Medea wants our front-runner stopped,
no matter what the cost.
There are no extraneous signs, no "Get Out of
Iraq" t-shirts allowed, and everything is
orchestrated and controlled. 'Everything'
meaning cheering, applause, signs in the air, etc.
They do that for a good reason: If they don't
control the signs, someone will write,
"Our soldiers are worse than the Nazi SS"
and
that photo will make every paper, telecast
and web page. Our front-runner, standing with
anti-soldier zealots - and there goes the election.
I'm one of the "the Clinton's are old school Republicans
crowd."
The best president we've had since WWII was a
Republican?
Which Democrats did you like - the ones who couldn't
win twice?
I'd take Bill as prez again, but I don't think
I'd support Hillary in the primary.
And if there was a constitutional amendment to
let Bill run again, I'm afraid that the Repubs would
have the Korean dog cloner come over and pull
Ronnie out of the grave for another go around.

Please spare me...the dude was disruptive and
rude...
tazer might be way much...but I don't give a
s**t...
I am sick of rude jerks...and John Kerry
is NOT a wimp!
L Morgan in California
LM, say we had a Bartfest ...and you were seen by some as "disruptive
and rude."
Should our hired guns be allowed to torture you with electricity?
That doesn't remind you of Abu Graib and Gitmo?
Sidebar: I love arguing the anti-torture point
of view!
Aren't you more sick of nobody asking the big questions?
Had Andrew Meyer not stood up, those questions wouldn't
even be in the news.
Do you want to live in a country where you get tasered for speaking
loudly?
Then they charged him with almost as many crimes as OJ, to cover their
asses in a civil suit.
What would you call John Kerry if he stood in the same room as you and
watched while
hired guns were torturing you with electricity ...and he stood
there like a statue?
I think you should give more thought to your position.
This story is hardening like cement.
If John Kerry doesn't make this go away real fast (like with an apology)
I think he's lost
what was left of his credibility and good will from the party he severely
let down in 2004.
Excerpt: "In the suit, filed in Manhattan, Rather charges
that Whore CBS made him 'a scapegoat' in an attempt
'to pacify the White House,' though the complaint
presents no direct evidence to that effect," the paper says.
Rather quotes the executive who oversaw his regular
segment on CBS Radio, telling Rather that he was
losing that slot, effective immediately, because
of 'pressure from 'the right wing.'"
On CNN, they said Rather wasn't even involved
in the story.
He says they handed him a script and said, "Read
this on the air," so he did.
Then they screwed him to please the blood-thirsty
Neo-cons.
But I gotta say, speaking up super, super, super late is better than
not speaking up at all.
Note: Dan Rather describes his plans to attack CBS and Bush tonight
on Larry King
Police officers have families to care for, with
children that depend on them. You can not take care
of your family if you are sidelined, or your
career is ended, by an injury sustained in a fight with some
publicity hound doing another one of his idiotic
stunts (why do think the other students were clapping
as he was being taken away?).
It's always tough to read the minds of a crowd,
but I thought they were clapping at the fact that someone
was finally asking some real
questions instead of, "What will you bring to the Oval Office if elected?"
The goal of police work is to end all fights as
quickly as is possible, and without injuries to involved parties.
Taserboy spoke out of turn and refused to stop
talking - that's not a fight.
THAT'S WHAT THE TASER IS FOR.
A Taser is a potentially deadly weapon. News whores
say 200 people have died from Tasers.
Do you want campus cops to have the power to
execute potential arrestees?
They were right to use it, and it was used appropriately.
This had nothing to do with freedom of speech;
he cut in line and "spoke" for several minutes
longer than any other student and longer than the forum rules allowed.

Wow. Dude, you just lost me.
That is the most fucked up thing I have ever
heard you say and I let a lot of your bullshit fly
because you gotta pay the bills and go all controversial.
Bush's House Nigger????.....
Which part of that do you not like? Are
you saying Powell fought bravely
and told Massa Bush, "No,
I won't help you kill thousands of good soldiers?" Or are you saying I should show more respect
for the thieves who got 3800 soldiers killed?
Or should I have candy-coated my words, and called
Powell "The House Negro?" That's not what Bush calls him.
Please don't drag Marcia Ball onto your site if
you're gonna go there.
I know Marcia and I know she doesn't appreciate
it and 99.1 percent of Americans don't.
I didn't write that for Marcia Bell.
I was unaware of her until you wrote and asked
for a free plug.
Way to alienate yourself Bart~!
You now represent .9 percent of America.
You are the wacked left Ted Nugent.
Mark in Waco
You mean I'm not universally loved?
How will I go on?
BTW, you were the only one who wrote to say he was offended.
Do not lay down in front of a
bulldozer or a train or become a human shield. The "president" of the United States
will have you killed, rather than call off his bloody and profitable attack. Apparently, the Israeli government feels
the same way about protestors in front of tanks.
That's one difference between our president
and a Chinese tank commander. In China, when that man stood in front
of the tank in Tienneman Square, the tank stopped. In America and apparently, Israel, the
"tank" keeps coming and crushes you.
But in this case, I don't think he could
foresee being electrocuted.
Maybe the rent-a-cops overreacted a trifle, but
this guy is an attention whore.
The last person I heard called an attention whore
was Cindy Sheehan.
He is a known prankster who does these kind of
public things for attention.
He has a website where he says as much.
I don't know Andrew, but he makes a helluva first
impression.
Look at it this way, when you go to a bar and
you cause a ruckus, the bouncers will ask you to leave.
They will ask you a second time. They will
tell you if they have to ask ask a third time, they will put
their hands on you and throw your ass out.
What if the bouncers kill 3800 soldiers?
Should we speak up then?
This guy was asked to leave, he was warned.
I can't see how this should hurt Kerry, who actually
offered to answer the question, even though the
guy was being an ass and ignoring campus police.
Like Cindy Sheehan, Taser Boy demanded
answers to some damn important questions.
If someone did that every day, this war would
end sooner.
Maybe no taser, but seeing as he was squirming
and fighting them while they were trying to cuff him,
I don't feel that bad for him. The guy
is an idiot.
(withheld)
If you spoke out, and you were tasered
and cuffed for doing it,
what would you want written about you
on this page?
Under these same circumstances, I would call you a hero, but others
might call you an attention whore idiot who got what was coming to
him.
Excerpt: Monday, September 17, 2007- Did you see George
all choked up? In his surreal TV talk on Thursday,
he got all emotional over the killing by Al Qaeda
of Sheik Abu Risha, the leader of the new Sunni alliance
with the US against the insurgents in Anbar Province,
Iraq.
Bush shook Abu Risha's hand two weeks ago for
the cameras.
Abu Risha was blown away just hours before Bush
was to go on the air to praise his new friend.
Here's what you need to know that NPR won't tell
you.
1. Sheik Abu Risha wasn't a sheik.
2. He wasn't killed by Al Qaeda.
3. The new alliance with former insurgents in
Anbar is as fake as the sheik - and a murderous deceit.

Excerpt: Before being dragged off, Meyer was able to get
out additional question about Impeachment of
George W. Bush and whether or not Kerry was a
member of Yale University's Skull and Bones Society.
He sounds like a classic conspiracy nut.
Wow, did she really say that?
It's a known
fact that Kerry was Skull & Bones, I've seen
him admit it on camera, myself.
Appparently nationalledger.com
allows Debra Beste to write whatever horshit
that pops into her head.
Or, she's a Republican whore who intentionally
refuses to see the facts in front of her face.
He reportedly was rambling on about how John Kerry
won the election...
Yep, she's a Republican whore, all right...
...and something else about 5 million votes that
weren't counted.
That happened, too - ever heard of the state of
Ohio?
If he would have had more time (listen
for her snicker...)
he would have blamed America for September 11th.
Ah-Ha!
Saying Kerry was in Skull & Bones is as crazy as saying
Dick Cheney knew in advance about the 9-11 attacks.
"Bush gets a bunch of right-wing "journalists"

Andrew, have you apologized for helping

This courageous young man asked a question a majority

act of free speech by holding our elected officials

Excerpt: Andrew Meyer, based on his personal Web site,

(That address is not working)
Laugh if you must, but this is one man whose prophecy
has already come true. In fact, as I write this (8 PM),
Meyer is slated to appear live on CNN, an accomplishment
that eludes most career journalists. Of course,
most of us tried to become a "famous writer man"
the boring old-fashioned way, by authoring news articles
about public officials and current events.
Maybe this jealous "journalist" isn't famous because
HE never asked any tough questions?

Excerpt: Mercenaries have become indispensable in Iraq.
But after Blackwater employees killed 11 civilians
on Sunday, the government in Baghdad wants them
out. The problem is, private security companies
operate above the law -- and the US wants to
keep it that way. They were harsh words: Iraq's
government speaker announced that the Interior
Ministry had revoked the license of US security
contractor Blackwater, adding that Baghdad would
"review the situation" of all private security firms...
Really?
How do you license an invading army?
Meanwhile, Blackwater's private army is waiting
patiently for the dust to settle -- in order to
then continue its mercenary work in Iraq. Undisturbed,
uncontrolled and unregulated.
