Democrats ! Put on your body armor !
The bullets are flying. Repubs want Hillary to apologize. They are calling Al Gore a hypocrite for telling the truth about their esteemed Leader. Get ready for battle. This is war, whether you know it or not. If you crawl back into your cocoon, you will lose again.

You know what the truth is: Bush lied about the war. He broke the FISA laws intentionally, as he has stated. Now they attack any messenger that calls them on their crimes and incompetence. Lock and load. Your ammunition is the truth.

I'm sick of these lying, sleazy warmongers. We want a government that represents the people of the USA - and not just the angry bigots either...

5. Shit, I don't need no stinking armor...Our weapon is truth
hitting people right between the eyes. their weapon is to get the eyes to look somewhere else.
I'll take any shot McClellan, Rushbo, Oreally, hannity and the rest of the echo chamber can fire off.
their false belief is slamming to our truth and they are panicking.

6. Now does everyone see what would happen if Gore called for impeachment?
Look at what is happening now; imagine if Gore had called for impeachment. He'd really be taken to the woodshed and even Joementum would be waiting in line with his Rethuglican friends to paddle Al's behind for telling the truth.

This is what gets me about the Dems - if everything had been reversed, the Rethugs would have been on tv like a bunch of starving dogs surrounding a piece of bloody meat.

9/11 TRUTH.

I love Al Gore and I'm so proud of the speech he gave yesterday, but so long as WE (and I don't just mean "Democrats"--I mean the American people and the world) buy into the terrorism myth* that has been fabricated to drive both domestic and foreign policy, we can't truly solve this situation. Can we inflict damage to their political edifice? Yes. Should we? Yes, of course. Use whatever ammunition we have--and there are tons of it. But the bottom line is the LIE that is 9/11 is the corner stone upon which the Bush administration has built their fascist and imperialist foundation. You say the truth is our weapon. You are right, but lets not deny the full meaning of the truth:
Terrorism in the modern era is the means by which oligarchies wage secret wars against the people which it would be politically impossible to wage openly.

Webster Griffin Tarpley, 9/11 Synthetic Terror; Made in the USA PP 60.


*It's not that there are no terrorists, there are, but the question always is, WHO IS BEHIND THEM. Who benefits from their actions? So long as terrorism can be used to drive policy--whether here or in any nation--terrorism will exist. Why? Because, for a few, WAR IS PROFITIABLE. If we want a different and better world, we have to bring an end to war profiteering.

13. We also have to attack reporting of the issues
When CBS news says crap like "The Whitehouse refused to dignify the speech with a response", it's time to put them in front of the firing squad too.
