19. I've participated in this site for quite a while now
Don't get me wrong, they are both bastard organizations who have done a lot to hurt America - but terrorist? That's going a bit far. Unless, I suppose, you are MIHOP and not only that but believe those two organizations helped with the attack.

23. I didn't need empirical proof because...
I know who the house of Bush is/was... I am a product of the DOD, a child of the cold-war. Thanks to that experience I had the opportunity to study WWII for twelve years while in Germany. The towers were our Reichstags Fire. The colossal fuck up that allowed it to happen was impossible unless it was meant to happen. The "Patriot Act" was our "Enabling Act" it confirmed my impressions of MIHOP. The department of Homeland Security translates to "Gestapo". Our troops wear Nazi helmets. We are fighting pre-emptive wars against terrorism which is precisely the same phrase that Hitler used to invade poland. "God is with us", "Got ist mit us". Hyping "Christian" values... It's all a slight variation on the same formula.

Get a clue man, how many freakin' dots do you need? When WWII ended, FDR warned us that the industrialist who supported the rise of Adolf were the real enemy and that they were still with us, still active.

But thank you for offering a few more dots - I can always use though.

5. Either way, they've been screwing us for years
And continue to do so the the best (worst) of their ability.

I was going back to do that edit until you posted.

Darn I hate being screwed and not enjoying it!

8. Other: The Federalist Society
There's no question, however, that they're all septic tanks filled with human waste.

9. The Federalist Society strikes me as slightly less evil
If only because the other two have large swaths of unchallenged airtime on CSPAN2, seemingly whenever they want it. The Federalist Society, by comparison, only pops up from time to time...

11. Abrogation of habeas corpus, condoning torture, supporting 'unitary Executive,' ...
... are all eggs that were hatched in the incubator of the Federalist Society. There is no 'mainstream' organization that's more inimical to our civil liberties and the principles of the ACLU than the Federalist Society, imho.

12. Good point--their evil quotient is boosted by their insidiousness
It's a shame that they too readily seem like a caricature, which masks and distracts from the real danger that they pose.

10. How about listing AIPAC in the poll?
Hillary told them at a meeting that she's sees Iran as a threat. King George I, King George II, William the First, and Queen Hillary do their bidding.
This should also be a warning to all of you who love Hillary, she'd do the same as shrub has done and continue the Bush-Clinton dynasty that has run the country since 1980. I believe that 27 years of a shared monarchy is enough. We the people have become irrelavent in the government. Say hello to our Kings and Queens.

15. Regular
The phillips-head would make a much worse wound.

16. Well, assuming that it's a quickly fatal wound, the difference is minimal
As compared with the various Neocon thinktanks that have been killing us over a period of decades.

17. I've been disappointed with C-Spans book TV lately because nearly
every time I turn it on they have some author discussing his/her book before the Heritage Foundation, and it's usually some rw piece of crap such as a new biography of Ronald Reagan which claims he's one of the two or three greatest presidents of all time!!
