I am about to write an "angry" diary entry.
I don't like to do it, but I must.
As D-Kos is covering here and likely all over the place elsewhere.. we have 'left tin-foil hat territory' and appear to have a true "blue" republican sex-scandal in the form of lobbyists supplying elected representatives with hookers in exchange for favourale votes.
Why does this 'revelation' make me so grit-spittin' mad? Here's why:
Because of the 'tin-foil-hat' thing.
Because there are a few of us out here who have figured, all along, that Jeff Gannon, the Franklin cover-up, and other alternative-alternative news stories couldn't possibly be completely wrong.
Those same few of us might also have some questions regarding 9/11 that put us into 'tin-foil'hat' territory.
Those few of us are told, repeatedly, to shut up about it all.
There's no blackmailing of senators with photos of them with gay hookers!!! There's no child-sex-slave ring involving anyone in the government!! There's no clandestine murders of Paul Wellstones!! There WAS a plane that hit the pentagon so shut up about it already.
RIGHT?
Funny how some on the left refuse to believe the mainstream media when it tells them what they don't want to hear, and yet those same folks won't believe the alternative-alternative media unless the mainstream media backs it up.
Harumph.
I'm done. I just felt it incredibly important to point out that critical thinkers don't reject out of hand arguments that might at first seem to be tin-foil related. And I'm going on the record with this, while I'm at it: the hooker thing is probably much worse than is being reported.. likely not related to 'bribery' per se, but more akin to blackmail because of the gender or age of the prostitutes involved.
It's up to you to decide whether or not I'm "right out of'er."
