Odd headline phrasing on CNN.COM
"Bush backs human rights;
protesters call him 'fascist'"

Yea -- that must have been the reason.

1. If Bush backs human rights,
then I'm the Pope.

3. Bush backs human rights for the rich and his cronies
Everyone else can go screw and be tortured.

He backs human rights but will veto any bill with a provision against torture? What a fucking LIE!

CNN = LIARS!

4. I guess "backs" is shorthand for "shits on" when you're writing
headlines.

The alternative is "Bush fronts human rights"...which means he pisses on them.

5. Everytime I see the press reporting on Repugniks, I am reminded
of the movie "The Naked Gun" in which Leslie Neilson stands before an exploding Fireworks factory telling the public "Nothing to see here, move along".

When oh when will we get an honest press that will report the FACTS about the Bush cabal?
