1. I'm sick of Hewitt.
I'm sick of all the wingnuts, actually. I don't remember this as being a problem before the anti-Clinton hysteria. Is that when this awful right-wing machine started up? Is there any way to stop it?

5. You don't remember the attacks on Carter . . . ? The Reagan propaganda .. .
"Welfare Queens" . . .

Nixon propaganda --- "peace" "peace" "peace" -- oops! more war?

The myth of a free press died with the assassination of Pres. John Kennedy --

which was actually a coup on the US government.

11. Yes, I remember.
Those attacks didn't seem as personally venomous, mean-spirited, and widespread as today's (thanks to the media).

Maybe I'm wrong, but I sensed an increase in right-wing hate and bluster during the 90s, with conservatives seemingly becoming unhinged because of something about Bill Clinton that I have never been able to identify. They went nuts! And they're still crazy.

4. That's Katha . .. right? The GOP is a disease over the land . . .
Edited on Mon Jun-30-08 12:32 PM by defendandprotect
but would comment in general that McCain is running for more war and more murders of
innocent people and where are any f-ing limits to this male BS -- ???

As long as we have patriarchy --- and it's trying to aright itself after the attacks of
the 1960's on it -- its organized religions and its capitalism --- we will have WARS.

We will be WITHOUT PEACE --

and we will be watching further destruction of NATURE --

8. Hewitt probably still can't get over how wrong he was about both
Ahmad Chalabi and WMD. He is also unable to become an "A lister" in conservative talk-radio circles and is probably trying to establish "street cred".
