Is the U.S. targeting Dems for their beliefs?

By Joe Atkins

OXFORD — A tobacco road of hard-core, down-and-dirty politics winds across the South from Texas to the Governor's Mansion in Jackson to the White House in Washington, D.C., and it's a road paved with cash.

It's also a road that can be dangerous to travel, particularly for Democrats. Some believe its more recent drive-by victims include former Mississippi Gulf Coast attorney Paul Minor and former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman.

In the chambers of two U.S. House Judiciary subcommittees, on the pages of Harper's magazine, and elsewhere, a map of this road is unfolding that, if accurate, could show how far justice and politics have become indistinguishable in this country.

POLITICAL TARGETS?

Minor is serving an 11-year sentence for his involvement in loans and contributions to two judges in cases he argued, for the most part a bipartisan sin widely practiced in a state that elects its judges. Minor's greater sin may have been that he was a big contributor to the Democratic Party and one of the trial lawyers who helped bring about a multi-billion-dollar settlement with Big Tobacco in 1997.

4. Unquestionably. The Bushies, in their quest to seize America unchecked and unchallenged

have come so very close to (some would say have alrady completed) the destruction of the Old American Republic.

Like Hitler and his Minions, the Bushies have advertsed themselves as the only unquestionable super-patriots. Liek Hitler's Minions, they have been told (and believe) that what they are doing is preserving Old America, not destroying it.

But then again, both Nazis and Bushies aren't exactly known for their critical thinking skills.

Does Dana Perino lie? Is Tom Delay a criminal?
