I like Obama and even if I didn't I'd most likely wind up voting for him since it appears he's winning and I would NEVER vote for a repug. BUT I'd like to see him take a stand or make a statement about at least one tough issue.

This is a great example of what happens when hate crimes go unpunished. Charles Chucky Manson had a plan. Commit a sting of horrible murders and blame it on the Blacks. He felt that this would bring about a race war and "Helter Skelter," a situation of chaos in which he'd be the obvious choice for world leader... Yeah he was nutz. The three dweeby young white kids who hung those nooses from the tree are no mansons but the certainly stirred up a lot of racial angst. Of course they were given a slap on the wrist by the local yokel pricipal. If that moron had taken this seriously, maybe even called a school assembly and explained to all the kids that this sort of behavior would not be tolerated, the subsiquent beating might not have happened.

CBS made a business decision to get rid of Imus because sponsers were threatening to leave if they didn't. When they signed their contract with Imus he was already established as a snotty, insulting bigot. For them to pretend that they were morally outraged by what he said or that they were ignorant about who he was is pure crap.

"Fire can't melt steel" has been one of the battle cries of the 911 conspiracy crowd for five years. Now that anyone with eyes has seen what happens when a tanker truck tips over and burns on a highway overpass can we put this one to bed?

the coverage of the VT shooting. I saw the press conference in which the jackles of the media grilled the pres of the university and the chief rent-a-cop about why they couldn't stop this guy. Of course, the fact is that anyone with a couple of 9mm's can walk into any public place anywhere in the country and kill a bunch of people. What was being ignored was the 800lb gorilla in the corner.
Not once did I hear the words "gun control" or "NRA" mentioned. No one mentioned what kind of guns they were either. Were they Glocks? Smith and Wesson? I switched channels and watched faux for a bit. They had someone flooging that old lie that "if only someone else had a gun the coud have shot the guy." As if what we need is more guns and not less.

He's also a commedian. His job is to poke fun at whoever's in the news etc. Considering that he's on the air for 20 hours a week he's had relatively few flubs. Think about what would happen if someone followed you around with a microphone and recorded everything you said. Would they get some swears? Curses? Insults? Might you even utter something racially or ethnically insensitive? Eventually they would unless you're mother Teresa or something. However, you might be smart enough to never touch the third rail which is, of course, race in america.

I know we're not supposed to compare the bush admin with nazi's but how much of their technique can they copy without us noticing? "Keep repeating the lie over and over again." Cheney should be trying to rebuild his credibility at this point. Instead he's pulling out this old lie from 2003?? That dog wouldn't hunt then, why the f is he pulling it out now? Does he think he can effect his legacy by trying to convice people that the war was right? He should realize by now that the pro war movement is in its "LAST THROES"

How can these guys keep saying the surge is working? Over the past week, including tonght on LKL pundits were saying the surge was working and NO ONE was challenging them. Are they all afraid that if they speak the truth they won't be invited back? It sure looks like it. Meanwhile McSwine is telling us that it's safe to walk around in Bagdad! What he's not telling us is that he's got a flack jacket on and he's surrounded by 100 GI's AND he's in the "green zone." I guess it's green because of all the f-ing money we've thrown around in there.

However, in Germany where they still teach science they published an article about the toxic nature of Monsantos Triple Hybrid GM corn and it's effect on bees in '05. Why won't the media here mention that GM corn is the likely cause of the bees disapearing? Could it be that Monsanto is a massive multinational corp with a market capitalization of 30 billion dollars?? Of course insects are seen as pests by most people. Most people who passed Earth Science class in highschool understand that every part of the food chain is important and some, but not most, understand that bees perform a task that vital to our survival.
