who would ask the question? Helen Thomas? David Corn?

This would have a few positive political effects.
1) Keep the story in the news.
2) If the administration critiques Allen- hurts Allen among those who still support the president. If Bush does not critique him, well then it will hurt Republicans nationwide just like it hurt Allen in VA.

The extremist right in this nation is suceeding in dismantling america. They are a long way from victory, but they are making steady progress.

The bedrock that guided America since it's inception was not democracy, it was a system of checks and balances to protect it's people from itself. The founding fathers had little love for democracy, but they had a healthy fear of tyranny. America transformed itself from constitutional republic to a represenative democracy while staying true to the philosophy of checks and balances.

The current administration, with the backing of the of conservative politcal/media machine is on a mission to destroy our system of checks and balances. They desire to remake american society as rapidly as possible. This radical adminstration believes in changing undesirable status quos without respect for the law, only adhoc justifications.

PA is about to become the 3rd state to do so.

according to the article,
"Legislators in Harrisburg have approved Rendell's plan but are still hashing out the bill's language. All four legislative caucuses have agreed to pass a bill by October. The federal government has tentatively approved the plan"

It could still fall apart, but right now it looks VERY likely to happen. This bill would extend "dental and vision care, well-child visits, emergency-room care, prescription drugs, hospital and home care, and mental-health treatment" to ALL children under 18. You can read the details about it in the article.

Rendell made a huge mistake in backstabbing Bob Casey by praising Rick S. At the same time, he deserves alot of credit for helping to get this bill and the minimum wage increase passed in PA.

Clearly aimed at Lebanon's rejection of the ceasefire offer.

Lebanon rightfully rejected an offer in which Israel would retain the right to attack and occupy lebanon. "defensive" in front of military operations clearly does not mean in response to an attack(no matter what the dishonest AP claims), since an attack on Israel would clearly void the ceasefire.

Now our Orwellian War mongering Secretary of state is claiming Lebanon's refusal to let itself be attacked while disarming shows it does'nt want peace. The american media will sheepishly report Lebanon rejected peace. Our administration, the one who lied us into war with Iraq, gave Israel the green light to attack Lebanon, will sucessfully paint Lebanon as rejecting peace. The democrats will fail to stand up to this administrations war mongering in Lebanon just like it failed to stand up to them before the Iraqi war. Read More

From the the BBC website on July 27th
"He(Israeli Justice Minister Haim Ramon) said that in order to prevent casualties among Israeli soldiers battling Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon, villages should be flattened by the Israeli air force before ground troops moved in".
http://news.bbc.co.uk/...

A villiage cannot be flat with a 4 story building standing in it.

More from the same article
"-He added that Israel had given the civilians of southern Lebanon ample time to quit the area and therefore anyone still remaining there could be considered a Hezbollah supporter"

"All those now in south Lebanon are terrorists who are related in some way to Hezbollah," Mr Ramon said."

I have decided to write this essay because I have noticed a general lack of understanding of the the history of the conflict on this board. This writing is intended to showcase where the philosophy of zionism conflicts with my own philsophy on morality(which I believe almost all posters on this board share), not as an angry diatribe against those who are pro Israel. I realize that reading an essay about anti-zionism is difficult for americans of jewish descent. I respect your emotional reaction to defend Israel, who are a tiny minority among the world's population. All I ask is that you try to see things from the other point of view. My goal in this essay is not to antogonize or to blame, merely to show that the cycle of opressed becoming the opressor solves nothing, except repition of conflict.

At the top of the smear merchant Drudge's website is the following clickable link.
"Murtha says USA poses top threat to world peace; more dangerous than North Korea, Iran..."

Of course this will spread like wild fire through the GOP blogs, conservative media outlets, and eventually find its way into the mainstream press.

The link leads http://www.azstarnet.com/...
The headline here is also misleading. " Murtha says U.S. poses top threat to world peace".

some highlights from the article.

"An English-only ordering policy at one of the city's most famous cheesesteak joints, The city's Commission on Human Relations alleges that the policy at Geno's Steaks discourages customers of certain backgrounds from eating there, said Rachel Lawton, acting executive director"

"Vento said he posted the sign about six months ago because of concern over the debate on immigration reform and the increasing number of people in the area who can't order in English. The historically Italian community has become more diverse as immigrants from Asia and Latin America have moved in."

My comments on the flipside.
