My first post on DU was a defense of Tom Daschle

The more things change, the more they stay the same...........

11. Godwin's law no longer applies to us. The Totalitarian State Corollary
Edited on Tue Dec-04-07 09:08 AM by tom_paine
(to Godwin's Law) states that invocation of Godwin's Law is dismissive and counterproductive in nations which are actually following the 10 Steps of Closing (free countries tranisitioning to totalitarian rule) Societies as Naomi Wolf has so accurately documented in the YouTube video in my signature link.

I might add that Godwin's Law is invalidated also when the reality turns out that the grandchildren of those who would have made the USA a fascist stsate allied with Adolf Hitler are the ones ruling us today.

http://www.harpers.org/archive/2007/07/hbc-90000651

Harper's Magazine (est. 1850) and the BBC not good enough for you (the BBC link is embedded in the Harper's Article)? Then I don't know what is.

I am giving you the final piece of the puzzle which has been obvious to many here at DU for quite some time, no bullshit and no personal insult intended.

Godwin's Law DOES NOT APPLY HERE and can never apply here, until we are fully free again.

9. I love Tom Daschle
He was one of the few Senators who would answer an out of state letter. If Obama wins, I hope we see him back in government.

10. Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same things over and over
while expecting different results?

15. My first post in July 2004 was in response to a question in the Lounge...
about what phrase you'd most like to remove from the English language:
I said:

"Quality" used as an adjective.

"We must make tough decisions" (used by ruthless managers)


Not sure what that says about me, but I still dislike those phrases!

My second post was questioning why American RW-ers treat 'liberal' as a bad word, when many countries have 'Liberal' parties.


With regard to the OP, I am sorry that Daschle lost his seat to that arch-nutcase Thune, and glad that he didn't get anthrax - THAT was scary!
