Taking the Fight to Karl: American Service Men and Women Mad at Karl Rove.

I muttered an anti-Bush comment to one of my co-workers today. This was gutsy--I thought--because he is rather vocal about the fact that he served in the Marines for four years in the mid-1990s. He's clearly proud of his service and I was ready for the possibility that he would be angry with me. Post-Kerry, though, I say what I think and defend it as politely as possible. I don't back down to avoid a fight.

But, lo and behold, he wasn't angry. Read More

PLEASE RECOMMEND THIS DIARY AND HELP OUR SOLDIERS FIGHT BACK

UPDATED WITH A NEW LOOK

ACTION ALERT: Do not back off on the Karl Rove story. I have set up a site for the purpose of receiving email from men and women serving currently in the United States military or veterans who are angry at Karl Rove's recent comments. I do not serve in the military myself, but I have two friends who have fought in Iraq--both good liberals.

Let Karl Rove know that when it comes to defending the USA, there are no Democrats or Republicans, just Americans.

ACTION ALERT: If you are a veteran or an active member of the armed forces and you want to tell Karl Rove what you think of his comments, then email FightingLiberals at yahoo dot com and we will post your email anonymously.

Karl Rove cannot get away with what he said without American soldiers of all ideological stripes setting him straight--on the record.

Check out this analysis by Gallup (hat tip to kos). Now, take a look at when support for the Iraq War flipped--between November of 2004 and March of 2005, shortly after the Iraq War ceased to be resolved by the massive assault on Fallujah and the Iraqi election. Read More

Sure seems like it. Not sure if too many folks caught this line buried in the latest AP article about the shadow Conyers hearing this afternoon:

The Democratic congressmen were relegated to a tiny room in the bottom of the Capitol and the Republicans who run the House scheduled 11 major votes to coincide with the afternoon event.

Emphasis mine. Just a little gripe: umm, coincide ain't the right word here. That should read "scheduled 11 major votes to use the power of the majority to bury the afternoon event."

They are sweating, let me tell you. They know they can't get away with this if we win too many elections in 2006. They know they are toast.

As I mentioned at Corked Bats, this is an exclusive email interview with Chip Pitts, who represented Amnesty International at the House Judiciary Committee Hearing regarding the USA PATRIOT Act on June 10, 2005. Chairman Sensenbrenner abruptly gaveled the hearing to a close after claiming that the statements and questions were largely irrelevent to the PATRIOT Act. There will be several installments as Mr. Pitts finds the time in his busy schedule to respond to the questions. Read More

Please recommend this diary. Netroots outreach contained within:

The Bell folks are really excited and want to get the word out that they will have a special guest, former Congressman Max Sandlin, on the conference call that will take place on Sunday, June 12 at the nationwide house parties. Bell, the Congressman who filed the ethics complaint against Tom DeLay, is exploring a run for Texas governor. These fundraising parties are going to break new ground for a gubernatorial race--they represent one of the most significant netroots outreach efforts by a statewide candidate yet. Sandlin was one of the Texas Congressmen who lost a seat due to Rick Perry's Tom DeLay-and-federal-government-assisted "redistricting" (gerrymandering) bamboozle. More details here.

The nationwide conference call will begin at 6:00PM EDT/5:00 PM CDT.
