“These inane illogical arguments can only be understood in the context of those same angry mobs at Palin rallies screaming about Obama being Muslin and a Terrorist and carrying signs that said "Get a brain, Moran". It is racism at its core. This segment of our population just can't get over the fact that a plurality of voters elected a black man to the presidency.”

Torture is Not About "Winning the Afternoon," OK?

“Great post. Thanks, Will. This is truly bigger than Obama. The bush/cheney shills are losing the narrative story with every new revelation. They have already lost the chance to frame the narrative as whether or not torture kept us safe or not after the op-ed by the FBI arab translator last week. Now the narrative is back where it should be. Is torture legal? Is it moral? What are our core values America?”

“Thank you Mary. You are truly an American patriot. The truth about the records of bush shirking his Viet Nam duties needs to come out and be shouted to the rooftops. You and Dan Rather were shafted. It is all part and parcel with bringing out the truth on Iraq, torture, and the whole litany of bush/cheney lies and destruction of everything we stand for as Americans.”

“"The U.S. and Israel are not helpless "survivor" countries, trying to work off the trauma of recent victimhood. We are vastly powerful modern states, both of which dominate our regions, and one of which could dream of dominating the world in the year 2000. Both have recently engaged, under the eyes of the world, in exorbitant, brutal, and unjustifiable wars that have tarnished our fame. In both countries, there is no sign of the militarism ending."

Needs to be shouted from the rooftops. Thank you for your eloquent essay. I truly hope it achieves resonance.”
