THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY - SILENCE THE OPPOSITION

[cyclezealot]

Today it happened in Des Moines, Iowa. The Des Moines Register, owned by the corporate controlled media monster, Gannet, and Iowa Public Broadcasting, yet another dumbed down version of the Peter's Principle PBS, banned Dennis Kucinich from its debate.

Not One. Not One of the pretenders to democracy from the Democratic Party hierarchy protested.

The petty reason given for the Kucinich ban was: 1- his state campaign headquarters was located in the home of the state coordinator. There are now hundreds of thousands of professionals who tele-commute, housing their offices in their homes. Approved by both state and federal tax agencies.

2- He didn't have a full time paid campaign employee. This is not the rich persons campaign of Clinton, Obama and Edwards. This is a people's campaign where every penny counts. This is simply class war now being played by the Democrats against their own 'base
**
These pols represent that very worst of the Democratic Party Machine that wants power for itself and its clients: the corporate controllers of the United States government. And the cowards they are, they will easily consent to anything that will limit the chance that Kucinich might be “electable” too if his message is heard. And its not just shame on them. Because these parasites have no shame.
