I was going to say that was beneath you, Jodi, but then reconsidered.
No "Palling around with terrorists" should be beneath the McCain/Palin team.
You say you hate Bush but yet you support candidates that lower themselves to use the same type of demonizing of the other candidate, as Bush/Cheney did. I would say that was beneath you, Scott, but then I reconsidered. }:0)

Sounds like some great work by law enforcement agencies on this one
This one and the Ashley Todd bust, too. Great to see this sort of thing.

I tried to watch it Marcio, but China blocks uTube so I could only see a small bit of it.
Actually, China has gotten tricky. If asked, they will deny blocking uTube. What they do is throttle it so much that it takes 30 minutes to download a video. When the majority of Chinese pay by the hour in internet cafes, this is an effective method of censorship. They just claim that it is the internet that is faulty, not them.

That's the sad part of China not being a democracy.
But thank's for your having tried Neil!
This is the best TV comercial that I've ever seem. I was 14 years old when I saw it for the first time on TV and it is amazing that I can recall that moment and how excited I was about the way things were said. It's like an acknowledgement of a major newspaper company about it's power. About how they can manipulate and say many lies by only saying the truth. And THAT coming from a major newspaper says a lot. It had been many years since I saw that for the last time, and I found it again on youtube. Sadlly I could not find a version in english to share with you guys.

Marcio, I have seen it is English but I do not remember where. It has been around for a long time.
Similar things about Hitler. Believed in family values, was a vegetarian, hated smoking, and was pro-gun control. Sounds pretty good to many people.
(I waited 30 minutes until it finally loaded)

Yeah, it is a different mind-set here. When they were getting particularly anal in internet blocking, I asked someone who to complain to. They just looked at me like I was an idiot. Even if you got hold of the person in charge at the local internet provider, they would not know who gave the order. Different providers block different things and unblock on a whim. Absolutely crazy system and doomed to failure.

Darn those annoying, unhip skinheads -- there they go disproving Mike O'Brien's notion that character assassination is the new "in" thing:

Also - I disagree on the assassanation idea. Sure, we have nut jobs, but they're more concerned with blowing up abortion clinics and gay dance clubs. Mexicans, Muslims and Homosexuals are above blacks on the nutjob hate list these days.
In other words (brace yourself Dan) you never hear Michael Savage complain about Blacks, but he sure doesn't care for Muslims, Mexicans or Homosexuals. I think if you were worried about the fringe element of society, you should, as I do, check in on what Savage is saying once a day or so.
Now, that covers the fringe element - but what about political assassanations? No such thing anymore. People have learned - you shoot a guy, you create a martyr.
The new thing? Character Assassanation. You shoot a guy - everyone loves him and feels sorry. You catch a guy with a hooker, it's all over.
So, in that light - expect more of these "Obama said 'whitey'" assassanation attempts to roll out of Hannity's ass over the next few weeks... |

Wow. Just... wow.

So, mea culpa - I still say my thesis stands for white politicians, but yes, blacks in America are still subject to this level of sick and vile evil.
I knew that - but I wasn't thinking of race when I posted my thesis - I was thinking politics.
How many white politicians have been shot in the last 20 years in America, Bodin?
Yet, how many have fallen victim to the type of character assassinations that I described above? (and mis-spelled!)
My over-all thesis still stands.
