Why do I get the feeling that the same “people” that buy foreign automobiles are also the same “people” that whine about American jobs going overseas?
Doesn’t the hypocrisy of it all seem like something you’d expect from a liberal?
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ®.
Now everybody is ganging up on him, including the dean of D.C. journalists, David Broder, who told the Bob Edwards Show, “I think at some point down the road the Democrats are going to have to have a little caucus and decide how much further they want to carry Harry Reid….”
Eh hehehehehe.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ®.
This is what I’m talking about:
{{{Bush taps new boss to direct broadcasts- President Bush tapped magazine publisher James Glassman to head the agency that directs U.S. overseas broadcasts, replacing a chairman whose tenure has been stormy. Glassman, a fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute think tank in Washington, will replace embattled chairman Kenneth Tomlinson, who resigned in January as chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors.-Urinal}}}
When the pinko®s hound a Conservative and drive him from office, replace him with an even more rabid Conservative.
Umm, the Attorney General would be a good place to continue this trend.

After finally watching The re-reun of the Daily show with the John McCain interview I can only conclude that RW is full of sh!t. No surprises there but how can he possibly maintain that Jon Stewart dominated the interview with constant interruptions?
McCain displayed diarrhea of the mouth forcing Jon to jump in just to get a word in edgewise. Of course I’m not surprised that someone who lacks any real sense of fairness, like RW, would see that as interrupting and not an attempt to insert himself into the dialogue.
All criticism aside I thought the interview came off rather well. Each side getting enough of their thoughts in to make it interesting. Each was able to make their points and end the interview with a smile and a handshake.
Too bad we can’t enjoy the same civility on this blog. I tried once but the wingnuts simply don’t have the capacity for it.

Ann can be funny:
{{{Democrats are promoting a mental health exception to the right to bear arms. This small measure would have taken Dan “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth” Rather off the airwaves years ago, preventing him from presenting doctored National Guard documents to the American people to try to throw a presidential election. A mental illness bar would deal a quick blow to Air America and both its remaining listeners.}}}
And Ann can tell it like it really is:
{{{Indeed, I believe this marks the first time a Korean has killed anyone in the United States, not involving an automobile. Nonetheless, Korean congregations, community groups and the family members themselves are issuing statements of sorrow. Not “pleas for tolerance.” But sorrow. Remorse. Remember those? They were big back in the day.}}}
Amen.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ®.
What credibility, what a honest ethical “news” organization you libs have at the Urinal:
{{{Bin Laden credited with Cheney attack…… in an interview shown by Arab broadcaster Al-Jazeera……. said Mullah Dadullah, the Taliban’s main military commander in southern Afghanistan…… He did not say how he knew that bin Laden planned the attack…. Dadullah insisted bin Laden was alive and well.}}}
(The Taliban are led by a Dadullard? Oh, sh-it.)
Such integrity, what a bastion of truth, jeez.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ®.
{{{Companies and individuals rushing to go green have been spending millions on “carbon credit” projects that yield few if any environmental benefits. A Financial Times investigation has uncovered widespread failings in the new markets for greenhouse gases, suggesting some organisations are paying for emissions reductions that do not take place.](http://www.ft.com/cms/s/48e334ce-f355-11db-9845-000b5df10621.html)

“What’s Old is New Again”?
Yes it is ml. Environmentalists have been threatening the world with global warming for decades.
Mayor Bloomberg’s contribution/solution is to set fees to drive your cars in NYC. The trucks delivering goods are gonna pay big time.
“Using economics to influence public behavior is something this country is built on – it’s called capitalism,” says the former businessman.
No Mayor Bloomberg, that’s called “milking the taxpayers”.
What’s the rest of the world’s polluters up to?
(((Europe, Japan, and Canada – which all signed on to Kyoto’s emission cuts without knowing the price tag – are only now balking at the costs of compliance.)))
And China? Come on…
That country is enjoying an economic surge. What are they saying?
(((“You can’t shut down a power station after five or 10 years as that would be economic suicide. If we can’t influence China and India in their coming energy business decisions, we will be locked in, and we will have to live with the consequences for half a century or more.”)))

Quote of the Day:
“In the war of my youth, World War II, I volunteered for military service at the age of 19 and flew 35 combat missions, winning the Distinguished Flying Cross as the pilot of a B-24 bomber. By contrast, in the war of his youth, the Vietnam War, Cheney got five deferments and has never seen a day of combat — a record matched by President Bush.”
“We, of course, already know that when Cheney endorses a war, he exempts himself from participation. On second thought, maybe it’s wise to keep Cheney off the battlefield — he might end up shooting his comrades rather than the enemy.” -George McGovern

MassenDull,
The whole foreign car/jobs overseas thing is played out. Don’t you know that many foreign car companies have multiple numbers of plants here in the US.
Thus, if you buy a foreign car, you’re more than likely supporting American jobs. Just drive up the road to Spartanburg and see the BMW plant, or to Tuscaloosa and see the Mercedes plant, or even to La Grange where they are constructing a new Kia plant.

AndyDull, why in the hell would Americans want to buy crappy cars and trucks that do not appeal to them? They put all their eggs in one basket. They built nothing but SUV’s. They took a cheap truck chassis, and put a station wagon body on them, sell them for $50,000 and made a $25,000 profit. They ignored the changing car market; they didn’t invest in research like powertrains, engine technology, etc, etc. All at the same time, gas prices were going up, while other companies diversified and developed better platforms.
Domestic car manufactures are all guilty of this, and now they are paying the price. That’s why you see them struggling and tripping over themselves tying to catch back up.
The only way they are going to get back on top is if they listen to the America people and develop cars and trucks based on their needs and wants.
Oh, btw Andy, its called Capitalism, get over it. Remember?

Truthman - or should I say liarman? The fact is that Giuliani did NOT say what he is being accused of saying. Politico magazine outright lied. They had no quotation to back up their headline and just said it to be saying something malicious. What he said was what he has been saying for the last five years - If the Demagogues (that is what they are) come back to power then they will play defense rather than offense in the war on terror. That is the truth and that is what they say they will do. Maybe you agree with that policy, but all I know is that if you fight a defensive war, you will lose. Ask the ghost of Robert E. Lee.

White House officials conducted 20 private briefings on Republican electoral prospects in the last midterm election for senior officials in at least 15 government agencies covered by federal restrictions on partisan political activity, a White House spokesman and other administration officials said yesterday……Such coercion is prohibited under a federal law, known as the Hatch Act, meant to insulate virtually all federal workers from partisan politics. In addition to forbidding workplace pressures meant to influence an election outcome, the law bars the use of federal resources — including office buildings, phones and computers — for partisan purposes.

Most sentient people can see through the bluster and glean what he meant. And what Mayor Manywives meant was “Vote Democrat and Die.”
Why didn’t he do anything to prevent the second attack on the WTC during the eight years he was mayor of NYC? He didn’t do shi! to protect New Yorkers from a second attack.
The bums who bombed the WTC in 1993 are behind bars. Clinton was president!
Fast forward to 9/11/01:

Good Morning.
Of course I was stretching things. I said so. KZ asked the forum to name one person in Pres Bush’s administration who is doing a good job. I wrote,” There are about 4 million in the bureaucracy (many here use the term “administration” and “bureaucracy” interchangeably in their arguments, so I’ll roll with that here).”
I said that many here mix the terms (with which I disagree) to charge every “negative” thing done by the Federal gov’t to Pres Bush. I used the opportunity to show many, many decent people comprise the Federal govt, altho my closing question just served to illustrate the silliness of speaking in absolutes.
The same would hold in limiting the population to appointees - by KZ-guy’s logic, none of the fired prosecutors were doing a good job, so they deserved to be fired.
As I said, such questions are silliness.

Buy Danish,
I read Truthman’s post differently.
9/11 happened because Pres didn’t listen to FBI. FBI=law enforcement. Did you know it was the FBI who investigated the bombing at Khobar Towers? Pres B should have kept the law enforcement mindset.
Rudy didn’t do anything to fight terrorism in the intervening years. Fighting terrorism is a mayor’s responsibility. He was following Pres Clinton’s lead.
Katrina: preparing for natural disasters with a history of hitting a city is not the mayor’s job, it’s the President’s job. Defending against groups who have declared war on America is a mayor’s job, defending a city against natural disasters is the President’s job.
Clear, now?

I agree with Guliani that he is the best person to defend America from attack. If only he had been mayor of New York on 9/11….. Or if he had been mayor when the first attack on the world trade center happened that would have been stopped too. And if Guliani had 8 years between attacks to coordinate the efforts of NYPD and NYFD so that they were could at least communicate by radio maybe lives could have been saved, but I guess we’ll never ‘cause I guess some lib was the mayor during all that. Had to be. Americans don’t die on our watch.

A great moment in New York City history -
Moreover, as an expert on policing and America’s key leader on 9/11, Giuliani is an authority on today’s crucial foreign policy issue, the war on terror. In fact, as a federal prosecutor in New York, he investigated and prosecuted major terrorist cases. As mayor, he took the high moral ground in the terrorism debate in 1995, when he had an uninvited Yasser Arafat expelled from city-sponsored celebrations during the United Nations’ 50th anniversary because, in Giuliani’s eyes, Arafat was a terrorist, not a world leader. “When we’re having a party and a celebration, I would rather not have someone who has been implicated in the murders of Americans there, if I have the discretion not to have him there,” Giuliani said at the time.
We can rest assured that a President Guiliani would not invite terrorist scum to the White House and allow them to dictate the Middle East “Peace” Process.

Mike, My aunt said 30 or 40 years ago that GM would get into trouble. Every time the union asked, GM management gave. GM was notorious for its benefits (e.g. 80% and up pay for layoffs — they asked the senior employees first if they wanted to volunteer for lay off). Back then there were few negotiations: the union presented its wants and GM accepted. At the time GM was making more money than it knew how to spend and did not have good vision. Many people were hurt by this practice when GM’s profit decreased and they sent jobs to foreign countries. Management is equally responsible for GMs problems.

But you still don’t understand, I imagine that might be part of being a goofy liberal, so allow me to explain:
The Japanese own Toyota. All of the profit from U.S. sales gets reinvested directly into the Japanese economy.
It frightens me to even think of what Toyota writes off of their taxes every year.
The Japanese also don’t pay health insurance, union dues and other benefits, while we’re on the subject.

I can think of nothing more American than pointing out that American workers are lazy, incompetent and overpaid. I just wish we could get a GOP candidate to speak with that sort of candor and clarity. I’m guessing he’d sweep the nation.
BTW: how much less does Toyota, Honda, and BMW pay its workers? Also how much more to the CEO’s of those companies pay themselves through the savings generated by lower wages?
Again, Mike thanks for pointing out that the Japanese workers are better than American workers and saving the innocent managment from any undeserved criticism whatsoever. Its good to get the truth out there.
As a final note, this country was a better place before unions, child labor laws, worker safety laws, minimum wage laws etc… If we could get 12 year olds back in the mines making 20 cents a day we could be a great nation again.

Jack Murtha served in the U.S. Marines for 37 years, is also a Vietnam combat veteran and was decorated with the Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry and the Navy Distinguished Service Medal.

Clinton’s own Justice Department promulgated the “fire-wall” rule which mandated that certain federal agencies - the FBI, CIA, NSA - could not share information. Supposedly this sharing would have infringed upon our civil rights. Thus, the confusion about information. Certainly, no body ignored such. But treating terrorism as simply a “law enforcement” issue is both naive and dangerous. It’s a war.

“the only thing we have to fear is not enough fear.”
The fact that we are not all in our basements cowering instead of typing away on our computer just shows that we haven’t learned the lesson of 9/11, which is that you have no hope but in the power of government to protect you. Turn your mind, body and soul over to the government so that you may be protected. Do no complain. Do not offer opinions that conflict with the government. Do nothing but pledge you full support and alleigance. Because anything that you do that undermines the apperance that the government has complete and total control weakens us in the eyes of the enemy.

The CIA and FBI concluded that Bin Laden’s group committed the attack around the 3rd week of January 2001, and just before Bush took office. Now I am certain that Bush would have retaliated against Bin Laden for that attack and distrupted any further plans by Bin Laden, but you know nine months just isn’t enough time to get around to everything and besides there was A LOT of brush to clear in Crawford that August.

Hey ml, I have an idea! Why don’t we keep using government to levy more taxes from GM – which ultimately raises the retail price of their goods - and have legislators write more laws requiring GM to do this and do that. Yeah that should help GM be more competitive in the global market. It should work as well as encouraging the use of alternative fuels by insisting gas prices stay low. I can certainly see why the only tangible goods you produce for society are cartoons.

Daniel, I wasn’t clear. My apologies. I, too, would vote for Hillary if she wins the Democratic nomination. When I said would never vote for her I had my sights set on the primaries. I think we can do much better than someone who flip flopped on the war like Hillary did.
Edwards voted against it from the get go so he’s more apt to get my primary vote. Obama could get it too. We’ll see how it all plays out.

Obama in ‘08!! I’ve already seen an Obama sticker on a white Soldier’s car. It’s obvious America (except for the South) is quite comfortable with the thought of a black president.
However, to avoid any assassination attempts by stupid white people, Obama should bring on Dick Cheney as his VP. That way, NO ONE would kill him because Cheney would become prez.

There’s plenty of evidence showing that by raising the MPG ratings to 35+, America would no longer have to import oil from terrorists nations — so what could possibly be the reason that the Repugnants keep rejecting these proposals? Why do they love the terrorists so much?
After years of fruitless wrangling, Congress appears ready to get serious about strengthening CAFE standards. In coming weeks, the Senate Commerce Committee is expected to take up a bill introduced by Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, that would raise efficiency standards for cars and light trucks to 35 m.p.g by 2019 from about 25 m.p.g. today. The bill would save more than 2 million barrels of oil per day by 2025 - nearly the amount that the United States currently imports from the Persian Gulf. It would also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 18 percent in the same period - the equivalent of taking 60 million cars off the road in one year.

Personally, I don’t care what country your car company’s corporate headquarters is in. That being said, the argument that American cars don’t last long is crap. If that were the case, why is my 43 year old Ford with the original engine still on the road? Why was my 17 year old Ford with over 250k on the road until someone hit me and totalled it? Why is my 8 year old Jeep with just shy of 150k miles still on the road and driven on a daily basis and frequently takes 200+ mile trips?
I’ve owned a lot of different cars from a lot of places, and I’ve learned one thing: as long as you take care of your car, it’ll last you a long time no matter what country it came from. Well, except for Jeep 4.0L engines and anything from Toyota, I really do think they would go forever no matter what.

Hello, Goldie
Congresses and Presidents going back decades have resisted CAFE increases. The problem is exacerbated by separate fuel (and safety) requirements for trucks/vans/SUVs. Not too many years ago Congress approved tax credits (could deduct the cost of the SUV from your taxes owed) for the largest SUVs for businesses - I’ve a 5ft 1 in neighbor, works out of a bedroom, no employees, who climbs in and out of her Navigator (large Mercury SUV). So we’re where we are. If a Democrat and Republican can cosponsor this, maybe there is hope -

RE
Care to bet if Sen Biden renews his call to send a little invasion force into Sudan? Or if an opponent brings it up?
I’m also wondering if it’s not a question of “If” but “When” the candidates go negative. My guess: Obama will keep with the present theme and see if he closes the five-point gap. If not, I wouldn’t expect “negative” so much as “pointed questions.” Hillary - she’s in a tough position. Her past use of surrogates to criticize Obama has cost her, but if she keeps her current crop of advisors (who I do not think are serving her all that well) the campaign will probably take a nasty turn.

You can never know what will come out of biden’s mouth, but it will always be interesting.
I think Hillary goes negative first, and that should ruin her. Negative attacks among dems do not work as well as negative attacks party to party. And, she carries a lot of predetermines opinion with her where she is expected to be the nasty manipulator. It would be better for her to remain as senator than go on to president. I see Obama and Edwards staying positive pretty much the whole way through. Edwards was a boy scout last time around, I don’t think he ever took a neg shot at anyone (in his own party). Obama has the momentum, I think he has the same feel as a kennedy (circa 1960) and going negative is not needed. If you a rising in the polls, keep what you are doing, if you are falling, go negative, the only one with incentive is Hillary.
But I would like to see richardson shine in this debate, he deserves more attention.

And there was none of the “I am Woman, hear me roar” rhetoric in the acceptance speeches. The biggest surprise, perhaps, was not Rosie’s foul mouth but the lukewarm reaction Hillary received. When Lisa Caputo said to her “Thank you, President Clinton,” the applause that followed was extremely subdued.

You could call this one “fun with numbers”. Only the numbers represent human lives. And BushCo’s way of fudging them in the wake of “the surge” will make you want to puke:
WASHINGTON - U.S. officials who say there has been a dramatic drop in sectarian violence in Iraq since President Bush began sending more American troops into Baghdad aren’t counting one of the main killers of Iraqi civilians.
Car bombs and other explosive devices have killed thousands of Iraqis in the past three years, but the administration doesn’t include them in the casualty counts it has been citing as evidence that the surge in U.S. forces is beginning to defuse tensions between Shiite and Sunni Muslims.
This juggling of numbers about genuine human lives, all in an attempt to support a failed US policy makes the BushCo’s fudging about our robust aeconomy look like so much puppy-chow.

Your post reminds me of when Brit Hume argued, several years ago, that US soldiers were safer in Iraq than they would be in California because California, at that particular time, had numerically more murders. When some dumb lib pointed out that CA has 45 million people and that there were only 120,000 soldiers in Iraq, Hume defended himself by noting that the numbers he pointed out “were reflective of somehing.” You’d have to admit that the administrations casualty figures are also reflective of “something” and isn’t that what really matters.

There is no question that pulling out of Iraq will increase the influence of the Iranians and perhaps lead to Iraq being a satellite of Iran. Given that Iraq’s population is over 60% Shia and Iran is predominantly Shia as well that is a good possibility. What these dumb libs don’t understand is that NOBODY could have predicted that this would be the scenario after Saddam was removed. I mean you’d have to have some sort of crystal ball before the war to anticipate this sort of thing, or a history book, a map and the common sense God gave a goat.
But, hey, we didn’t elect Bush for his brains though right?
What the stupid libs also don’t get is that Iranian control of Iraq is not inevitable IF we are willing to stay there until Iran ceases to exist. Or we go broke and go the way of the Roman Empire, the Soviet Union etc.. and by then we will have more pressing issues anyway.

While Newt is right almost all of the time he must have been wrong when he said:
“The greatest leaders in fighting for an integrated America in the twentieth century were in the Democratic Party. The fact is, it was the liberal wing of the Democratic Party that ended segregation. The fact is that it was Franklin Delano Roosevelt who gave hope to a nation that was in despair and could have slid into dictatorship. And the fact is, every Republican has much to learn from studying what the Democrats did right.”
And I don’t mean that he was wrong because he gives the libs credit I think he was wrong when he suggested that what the libs did was right.
Also don’t get tied to Republican equals “conservative” and Democrat equals “liberal” because that hasn’t always been the case and the terms are not interchangeable. Besides what would be more liberal than burning the South down and ending slavery? Almost everyone in the South calls themselves conservatives and have since before the Civil War. They voted for Democrats for 100 years after the Civil War until the National Democratic Party started with the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and school integration. Since then conservatives have found a friendly home in the GOP.

The fuller context was it got an okay reaction from Stewart and the audience. I took it as one of those “so absurd” as to be in fantasyland. Congressman Murtha’s comment was along the lines of “I heard from a friend of my wife’s whose other friend is in Iraq that McCain is joking about leaving IEDs under desks. That’s an insult and he should apologize.” Just struck me as any excuse to hit a policy opponent.

I don’t think anyone has a shot with that crowd unless they agree. For many it’s one of those “single issue” determinants. But, if Giuliani does make it, then they, and by extension, the influence of the (I really dislike this term) “conservative, religious right) will be lessened, possibly marginalized. Will these voters stay away? Some will, but some will swallow hard and see his position is still better in their view than the other candidate.

That bill is one of the specific issues SecDef Gates discussed with PM Maliki, in the context that the Iraqis are not adequately progressing with the functions of government. It was given as an example of how American support is not open-ended.

Again you are too scared to respond substantively. One of the earlier posts suggested that you would have to be a complete moron not to know that invading Iraq would give a stronger hand to the Iranians and that anyone with any sense would have known that Iran would eventually use its influence there to create a satellite state if not in the entire country certainly that portion in which the vast majority are Shia. It was also pointed out that there is very little that can be done to prevent that. It is very hard to conceive of a point in time when Iran won’t excercise its influence and it seems that we are just putting off the inevitable unless we commit to staying for a VERY VERY long time.

I like the fact that the GOP has gotten past that whole idea that the military should only act in the best interest of the US. Afterall it was kind of a selfish position wasn’t it? I think all military decisions should be based on what is good for Iraq.
Afterall, I’m sure it will be no time before the Iraqis can defend themselves from each other and the Iranians and Syrians and Saudis. Just give it another, oh I dunno, 30 years tops.
I just can’t wait until we supply Iraq with tanks and fighter jets and other military equipment consistent with defending a country in that area of the world. I’m positive it won’t fall in the wrong hands.

Leave it to Get a clue aka One Voice aka One Punk aka Monkey Boy to use monkey imagery.
Just can’t help himself I guess.
Punk,
Try your Stalinist bullying tactics on someone else. There are tens of millions of your comrades who would welcome you and your tactics with open arms and give you the hugs and attention you are so desperate to receive.
That ^^is my final post for Thursday April 26th.

About a half hour till showtime! MSNBC? I’m sure the questions will all be about issues, vision for the future, specifics on programs and policies, how they see challenges (Medicare/Medicaid, education,) what they will do, what separates them from their opponents - and because time is short they’ll tell the candidates to answer, not skirt, the questions and they will avoid the “tell us about how Bush has screwed up America” questions.
This is where you laugh -

Waxman had a great point when he said they have only issued five subpoenas.
Guess how many the gop issued for Clinton?
Over one thousand. He has a lot of work to do for fair and balance or karma, if you will.
They all need to tesify under oath to stop the lying.

The Monkey Boys think throwing feces is a sign of intelligence.
Why does this not surprise me?

Any suggestions on what to settle in with for showtime? I’m thinking about a hearty Belgian ale - something “manly” to match the candidates’ images and that shows the Europeans we’re thinkin’ about them -

So what in the world are we gonna do about this inevitability?
Volcanic Activity Triggered Deadly Prehistoric Warming
We go to all the trouble to cut back on C02 emissions, and then these babies start poppin’.
Crap! We’re gonna need “a cork”, a really really “BIG CORK”.
Maybe Al? Yes….I think Al’s the man for the job.

Al can have the cork from my ale. Maybe he can place it somewhere other than in a volcano?
Forget it - the cork’s not that big.
Time to settle in. Good evening, all -

But wait, there’s more!
I noticed that oddball gay finchie was able to make a grand total of two posts without making mention of my name, this signifies a major breakthrough for his psychiatric team, they must be on to the proper treatment. If perhaps maybe they are listening in on his social interactions, up the medication just a little and see what that does.](http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/shared-blogs/ajc/luckovich/entries/2007/04/26/whatsoldis_ne.html#postcomment]
I can’t wait to meet this finchie guy. Whoever he is, he’s got you where the sun never shines. I’ll bet it’s because he tells the truth.
Now go crawl back into your bottle.

Well I’m just settling in to read an analysis at Stratfor. I’ve only skimmed over it lightly. The title?
“The Democratic Party and the Future of the Anti-War Movement”
I was surprised to see it there. Stratfor rarely addresses domestic politics. They’re more into global.
Based on what little I’ve read, it may not be looking too good for you guys in the Anti-War Movement. It did mention something about the Democrats needing to cobble the anti-war group.
cob·bled, cob·bling, cob·bles 1. To make or mend. 2. To put together clumsily, bungled.
I’ll bet you radical leftists never realized that you might need mending.
You’re gonna be bungled…and “clumsily” at that. Damn, it almost sounds like they don’t have much time for you, doesn’t it?
Maybe the rest of the piece will offer something you liberals would “LIKE” to hear.
Paul:
Great idea!
Bottoms Up Al…errrrr Paul.

BD, re your 10:40 and 10:44 - thanks for the reconsideration, and no I haven’t thought that Clinton and Giuliani would end up on the same ticket. If for no other reason than the pundits’ heads would all explode. On another topic, though, I must mock your George Soros refernce (“Time for George Soros to sic Media Matters on Spike Lee and the L.A. Times!”) Do you people seriously believe this tin-foil-hat theory?
Paul, thanks—the Corps’ investigation and eventual acceptance of responsibility went mostly unnoticed in the media, under the shrill din of Hannity and Boortz who were too busy mocking Katrina victims and going off on anyone who suggested a Federal agency might be involved. I repost that from time to time, because it’s important.
LuckoD, “Enjoy your punk as-s rice burner, Coward.” I can’t imagine what kind of people would want to call you a friend. What a sorry, miserable existence you appear to have, and sorry miserable attitude you clearly DO have.
Truthsayer—My mistake, I cited the wrong historical campaign. The point still stands—the rehash of that advertisement (no matter WHEN the original came out or against whom) is cowardly fear-mongering at its finest. Do you care to answer THAT part of my point, or will you choose to respond to a technicality again?
