Next Goliath To Slay: The Corporate Media

What no one seems to pick up on is that through all of these primary and general election campaigns the one party never questioned or attacked is the corporate media themselves. Last night's 20th "debate" between B. Obama & H. Clinton points this up. Tim Russert was basically given free reign: to come up with bogus scenarios about Iraq, to bring up Matt Drudge-instigated photos apropos of nothing and to point to hateful anti-Semitic language of some douchebag named Farrakhan and, guilt-by-association-like, blame Obama for it. He did all of this shit basically unchallenged by either candidate. One is left to assume that they are too concerned with scoring points off one another to make time for accountability for two obvious hacks who couldn't be bothered to do any journalism but rather just read the Drudge Report. The blogger Digby makes a much better case for this in her post here.

This is a problem, a huge problem. Obama should have slammed Russert for showing the photo at all, saying that this photo has been out in the public realm for a year and a half -- AP did the story as well as took the photo -- and shame on you for not knowing better than to rely on Matt Drudge for any truth. He did not do that, and it is unfortunate because until we have accountability for these stenographers of smear people will not see politics any differently than they do now, and will continue to be apathetic and not vote in numbers that they do in the rest of the world.

Tim Russert: Kindly Go Fuck Yourself, You Fat Ugly Oaf

So what will it take to make you go away, Tim? A lifetime supply of McDonald's French Fries, you fat ignorant fuck? Your Jack Bauer fantasies about Iraqi puppets kicking us out of Iraq and faux-mysterious photos of Obama in traditional Kenyan clothing (it's an AP photo that was put out 6 FUCKING months ago!) show you to be the Matt Drudge-obsessed hack that you are. Both Hillary and Barack slammed you hard and called you out on your idiotic, baseless, picayune and childish shit you tried to trip them up on last night. Brian Williams, take note: you are not far from the bottom of this slime pit of journalism seen most strikingly these days on MSNBC; you showed your hackery last night by putting on the wrong video clip, then claiming it has any relevance to what type of president this makes one. But for the good Keith Olbermann, who didn't get his start in hard journalism at all but rather sports, this network is in danger of becoming the new Fox News Channel - all John McCain, all the time. Bet on it: once McCoot gets enough delegates to claim his nomination, this joke of a news channel will do all it can to help him out. All of the pro-Obama bias was just a ruse to get rid of Hillary Clinton. That is plain now. What is not clear is which Jabba the Hutt, Chris Matthews or Tim Russert, gets to jerk off John McCain the most. God, that visual is disturbing!

Clinton's Maggie Williams: Dilettante Playing Into Matt Drudge's Hands

Oh, Matt Drudge, you really have me quaking in my boots. Your pathetic attempt to bring down Obama with the robe photo is really funny. This will backfire, you see.

Now the Clinton campaign has weighed in, denying any connection to the story or that anyone emailed this (funny that they'd mention "email") to Drudge. They are becoming more shrill by the minute I'm afraid. Maggie Williams, the "new" campaign manager, betrayed her (and maybe the Clinton campaign's) foreign policy ignorance by characterizing Obama in the photo as wearing "traditional Somali clothing." Maggie, sweetie, if you'd done just a minute's worth of Googling you would find the AP story describing Obama's visit to the northeastern KENYA town of Wajir in 2006, where he was presented the robe. It's Kenya, Maggie, not Somalia. Brush up on your geography, hon. And maybe next time, if you are going to make shit up on the spot like this, you pick a country that doesn't have a critical mass of Islamic extremists in it. Oh, and stop your whining about "inflaming passions and distracting voters" when it was your very Clinton campaign that was the source of the hoax e-mail last December claiming Obama to be a Muslim "intent on destroying the United States." You have no right to be outraged any more, Clinton people. Just go out gracefully already, and people will forgive you. Otherwise, expect not only to lose and lose badly, but to get placed next to Rudy Giuliani in the dustbin of political history.

The more I read about Obama and his policy positions the more I like him. He is a man with fantastic ideas - the environment, economy AND health care (see his website) who can get shit done. Hillary Clinton knows health care, I'll give her that. She has a credible plan, too. The problem is, her style betrays an unfortunate NON-ability to get shit done, i.e. passed. Her bills she sponsored in the Senate are unimpressive at best, and none of her sponsored bills concerning health care passed in the Senate. She voted for the authorization to go to war in Iraq, THEN voted against the Levin amendment demanding further diplomacy before deciding to invade. Her "35 years" of experience are a record of failure and bad foreign policy decisions. Her shrill and ridiculous assertions of Obama's Rove-like tactics are laughable and wrong. It was her campaign that was the source of the hoax emails. Is this how it's going to be, Hillary? Slime your opponent, then blame him for slimy tactics. Everyone is seeing this for what it is, and frankly it's sad and upsetting to see a competent candidate go down like this. And, if she's not careful, she will bring down not only herself but Obama and, along with them, the only real opposition to George W. Bush's and John McCain's ruling fascists we have left, the Democratic Party.

The only thing sad about all of this is the fact that Matt Drudge is taken seriously at all.

John McCain The Woman-Hater

At a fundraiser speech during the 2000 presidential campaign, John McCain told this joke:

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."

This motherfucker needs to be taken down.

John McCain: Yet Another Fraud



Why stop there? The entire organization known as the Republican Party is a fraud. It's a fraud perpetrated on three hundred million people for some thirty years now, wreaking havoc on the economy, health care and the environment. John (McCoot) McCain is just the latest exhibit in the long list of freak shows that manage to attain political power, get attention and acquire legitimacy by the idiotic, unquestioning mainstream media.

The NY Times piece detailing his involvement with Vicky Iseman is just one example of many in which he cavorts quite comfortably with corporate lobbyists. He campaign staff is crawling with lobbyists everywhere. Anyone who buys his tale of being anti-lobbyist and giving no favors to them is a complete fool. The Washington Post has the best and most credible stories on his history with lobbyists and makes the better point that he is not the anti-lobbyist "maverick" after all. You can read about it here and here. By the way, his denials really only refer to the "inappropriate" relationship with Iseman, meaning sex. He is not denying his history with lobbyists at all. This is typical of how the story gets played: all about the sex, nothing about the inherent problems and conflicts of interest of having lobbyists follow you around your campaign on corporate jets. It's all in the past, so who cares? Fuck this shit. If he somehow manages to squirm his way into becoming President I will be making plans to move to Canada. You just watch the fascism come streaming in like a flood. Gays? Minorities? Fuck them all, we've got a thousand-year Reich to resurrect in Iraq, and oh by the way prepare for less jobs and no health care because the President doesn't know shit about the economy. The environment? Well that was all nice to talk about during the campaign, but frankly we have more important things to worry about like building an empire. This pasty old wife-beating, war-mongering crazy piece of shit will fuck all of us. He is a nightmare waiting to become real.

[Update: Oh, and by the way, Cindy McCain is no friend of women's progress. This vile Stepford Wife of the Desert deserves no less scorn than her husband. Her attack on Michelle Obama's botched but sincere praise of America's racial progress was vicious and petty to say the least, a cheap shot sure to rally all the mouth-breathing "stand-by-your-man" types with nothing better to do than wait for dog-whistle signals like these to stir them. Fuck you, Cindy, you gold-digging witch.]

Experience vs. Experience

I've really had it with the notion that experience counts in Washington, D.C. We've had seven long, miserable years of nothing but shit coming from Congress, from Republican bullying and debate-stifling to Democratic capitulation to almost every fascist whim of Chimpee the President. Hillary Clinton was one of the Iraq War cheerleaders from the get-go, don't tell me that she has some unheard-of long list of legislative accomplishments, because it's just not there. And McCain hasn't accomplished one decent thing in the Senate that he has not trashed and/or forgotten during this primary campaign. So don't tell me Barack is inexperienced and green, unfit for the awesome challenges of POTUS. He fucking DOES have concrete ideas and they're fucking good ones. You're not seriously going to tell me that a 20-page PDF of his environment policy proposals does not count as substance. God-damn these motherfuckers in D.C. who would discount these past 7 years as anything but a crisis that needs people like Obama to tackle. Duh, he's not perfect, and yes his health care proposals need improvement but fuck you if his candidacy and potential presidency is quashed to asshole fascist McCain. Give me one good reason to stay in this country with a President McCain. Just one.

Chris Matthews: Kindly Go Fuck Yourself

Barack Obama wins big tonight. He's pretty much got the de facto nomination but for some angry dead-enders cursing his "non-accomplishments." Exhibit A in I-told-you-so back-stabbing from douchebag Chis Matthews is this clip. This is exactly what we should now come to expect from John McCain's biggest masturbator, Chris Matthews. This asshole will do all he can to install yet another fascist to the White House. May he literally explode during his soon-to-be talked-about angry anti-Obama rants. I will not be surprised to hear Matthews mutter the N-word in the slightest.

Not only will Chris Matthews prove to be one of network TV's most misogynistic bloviators but now that Obama's rising he will prove to be the motherfucking racist he always wished he could be on national teevee. His departure from MSNBC and from this earth could not come soon enough.

A Life Without Cell Phones Or Email

The American government currently has a police-state zeal to spy on Americans with no warrants and to protect telecom companies from litigation or criminal prosecution when they break the law. High-profile media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal editorial page are calling those who would oppose this government overreaching the "anti- anti-terror left." If you really parse that phrase carefully that means we who value privacy and a nation of laws and the right to bring those who do wrong to you to court -- we decent Americans, in other words -- are pro terrorist and therefore possibly enemy combatants because George W. Bush says so. Nice.

So, if this thing, this "new and improved" FISA bill a.k.a. the "Protect America Act" or whatever the fuck you call it becomes law, we have a reasonable right to be concerned for our well-being whenever we have a heated political discussion on our cell phone or sign a petition online in protest of the government. Are we prepared to live the way we do without relying on cell phones or email? Or, at least, we the people that make up 75% of the U.S. population who call themselves decent Americans and happen to not like this president.

I, for one, am concerned. We are we going to do about it?

A Lost Cause

So here are 21 more fascist members of Congress who would have corporations break the law with impunity. Welcome, everyone, to the so-called "blue dog" Democratic Congressmen in the House of Representatives. They are:

Leonard L. Boswell (IA), Marion Berry (AR), Mike Ross (AR), Earl Pomeroy (ND), Robert E. Bud" Cramer (AL), Melissa Bean (IL), Heath Shuler (NC), John Barrow (GA), Allen Boyd (FL), Joe Baca (CA), Dan Boren (OK), John Tanner (TN), Jim Cooper (TN), Lincoln Davis (TN), Jim Matheson (UT), Brad Ellsworth (IN), Charlie Melancon (LA), Dennis Moore (KS), Christopher Carney (PA), Tim Holden (PA) and Zack Space (OH)

Let's see: 3 from Tennessee, 2 from Arkansas, 2 from Pennsylvania, and one each from Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, North Dakota, Utah and California. In other words: red states, with 2 douchebags "representing" California's miserable and decrepit inland empire and the nortoriously wealthy, greedy, elitist northwest suburbs of Chicago. Good going, fascist assholes. You 21 traitors and ALL 198 members of Congress calling themselves "Republicans" make up a majority of the House. Every single one of you would and probably will sell the country out to a bunch of fascist thugs who care NOT A CENT about anything concerning the security of America -- only the security of the unchecked power of this fuckwad in the White House and his corporate cronies.

You will all be targeted, all 39 of you "Democrats," you 18 in the Senate and you 21 in the House. You who will have fucked us come this weekend, for delivering to this fraudulent president to sign into a law what is basically the stuff of Soviet Russia and Stasi East Germany.

We're basically already at Stasi East Germany. Next stop for the U.S.: Stalinist Russia. Then maybe we can move on to Mussolini Italy and, finally, graduate to Nazi Germany. Yaaaaaay!

Police in America - Yet Another Fascist Institution

So I've been following the primary returns on my favorite blogs and other websites, and I've come across just one too many videos, YouTube and otherwise, of police brutality in all its naked ugliness.

People need to wake up to the fact that the police are NOT on our side, that the "serve and protect" motto is a complete and utter lie. Time and time again we see them abusing women, minorities, juveniles and others who are vulnerable but who make good arrest quotas that so often is the goal of sheriffs and chiefs who run the departments. Fuck them. NO ONE is safe any more. Police are only around to harass you, NOT to protect you. Anything else you may have been told is a lie. I see this every day on the streets of New York City. A city, by the way, notorious for its brutality and murder of racial minorities by the police. Police who, by the way, DO NOT come from the city but come from Long Island and points north, who think they own the city and everyone who actually live here. 

This, of course, is nothing new in our history. Many have written about the violent and sociopathic tendencies of many a cop. But now that I see raw footage of it on YouTube I get the feeling that this is NOT just some '60s tired old rant. The purpose of the police is ultimately to protect the powerful, if for no other reason than to protect the powerful. I've seen enough. And yes, there are a few exceptions, be them VERY rare and VERY precious few. Any time I see a cop I cringe, even if it's just a traffic cop or a meter cop. I am always hesitant to "call the cops" now when I sense danger, because I know that in too many cases, the victim is blamed, and this happens all too many times in rape cases. How dare they question a woman who has been raped, and ask if she "may have provoked it?" Yet all politicians of every party invariably stand with police as evidence of their being "tough on crime." More like tough on people who the police brand as criminals who "were asking for it." This is sexism/racism 101. Furthermore, one is more likely to be beaten by a white male cop in a city than to be mugged by mysterious and nefarious "brown" people. Fuck these racist fascist bastards.

For more intelligent discussion on the atrocities committed by the typical cop consult the work of Derrick Jensen. He has plenty of specific cases where minorities have been brutalized/killed JUST for being black. And I hear this all the time from African Americans I have worked with. I am sickened that they get pulled over just for being black. I am sickened by these videos. I am sickened that I have to show the contents of my backpack to some schmuck who wouldn't know a bomb from a banana. These assholes are in charge, though. They are specifically chosen for their sociopathic and sadistic tendencies. ALWAYS they have a grudge toward some specific person or type. ALWAYS they will treat you as if you are guilty, and never let you tell your side of the story. ALWAYS they will target minorities, and be typically white and typically male. This is the case in EVERY town and city in America. And almost ALWAYS they get away with a slap on the wrist for violating your civil rights. God-damn them.

Never trust a cop. Never.

Obama For President - Duh!

We need to vigorously support this man and travel to swing states to get him elected if need be. Right now you can donate money to his campaign - here is the link. I am taking election day and the day after off from work. I plan on traveling to Ohio to canvass neighborhoods wherever MoveOn wants me to go. I hope to bring friends. I want to get this out there now, so that we can get it through our heads, and early, that this election day is the final stand we make to keep this country free of fascism and state terror. I am a gay man fearing for the well-being of my boyfriend and myself if McCain gets elected/installed as President of the United States a year from now. I fear for my family, every one a Democrat; for my fabulous gay and lesbian friends; for the LGBT community in general. This is not something I can stay on the sidelines for, so I am asking everyone reading this to take action.

Really, it's serious this time.

[Update]: And please, Barack, stop calling John McCain a 'hero' in the present tense. He is a hero to nobody. He is a political coward, and he will do and say anything to appeal to the right-wing (who are anything BUT conservative, by the way) of his miserable, pathetic American Fascist Party. The world has seen too many fascists come to power, only to destroy everyone and everything standing in their way. No more.

The Infamous Eighteen

We already know about the American Fascist Party (aka "Republicans") and how much they want to shred the Constitution. We also have eighteen members of the U.S. Senate who call themselves Democrats but in reality are unworthy of the name. They are the traitors who sold us out today, with their nay votes on the anti-telecom amnesty amendment. They are the following:

Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), Evan Bayh (D-IN), Daniel Inouye (D-HI), Tim Johnson (D-SD), Herb Kohl (D-WI), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Mark Pryor (D-AR), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ken Salazar (D-CO), Tom Carper (D-DE), Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), Jim Webb (D-VA), Ben Nelson (D-NE), Bill Nelson (D-FL), Kent Conrad (D-ND), and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)

They are utter cowards. They are thugs. They are fascists. And they need to be drubbed out of office with every ounce of sweat we can muster. God-damn them all.

GOP: The New American Fascist Party (AFP)

I will hereby be calling all Republicans in our federal government Fascists. Fascists with a capital F, that is. They no longer get to call themselves 'Republicans' because they no longer represent anything close to a republican form of government. So, for instance, when I refer to our President (Prez, POTUS, fuckwad, if you will), "George W. Bush," I shall forever attach the word 'fascist' to it, whether it precedes it or follows it. And no longer will I refer to the "Republican" party as such. It is now the "fascist party," the "American Fascist Party" or simply "AFP." No, there is no longer room at the table for these neo-Nazi bastards.

The time for niceties and politesse is over. This is nothing short of a tipping point. If this is not an argument for the complete and permanent marginalization -- nay, destruction -- of the thing we still call, after these seven long, miserable years, the "Republican Party," or "GOP," then I do not know what is. Let John "McCoot" McCain's nay votes stand in clear contrast to the yea votes of the true small-d-democrat Democrat left in this race, Barack Obama. Let no one doubt that Obama is the single best thing we have right now that we would call the 'opposition.' Hillary Clinton sold our her party, sold out her Senate career, sold out her candidacy and sold out her country by her feeble 'absent' vote on every single improvement to the abysmal FISA bill, the only Democratic senator to do so. She had no reason not to be there, as she was campaigning in the D.C. area. All bets are off after today. If she succeeds in getting the Democratic nomination for the candidacy of President of the United States of America, she will stand as feeble opposition to Mr. "Thousand-Year-War" McCoot.

The actions the Senate took today stand as an absolute failure of one branch of government to hold another accountable, what our civics and history books call "checks and balances." It stands as a testament to how much control corporations have over our government that they can literally dictate what laws get enacted. It stands as a testament to the utter failure of Bill Clinton's presidency for having had, without our realizing, a Deputy Attorney General, Jamie Gorelick, who today would be one of the corporate telecom lobbyists doing Bush's bidding. This is disgusting. This is the stuff that ruins opposition political parties. This is the stuff that ushers in mysterious knocks on doors late at night. This is the stuff of fascism.

U.S. SENATE TAKES A BIG CRAP ON AMERICA

So yay! We're one step closer to becoming a fascist country! Thanks a lot, Democratic senators for betraying us! Yay! That includes you, Diane Feinstein, you motherfucking asshole!

I am so disgusted right now I can't think. I can't work. I can't eat. EVERY FUCKING ONE OF THE GOOD FISA BILL AMENDMENTS HAVE JUST GONE DOWN IN FLAMES! FUCK YOU, HARRY REID AND JAY ROCKEFELLER!

Please just read this and this. You'll get the lowdown and a lot more information. From me, just invective right now. Fuck you, too, Hillary Clinton, for voting 'absent' on the crucial amendment to strip immunity for telecom companies that have broken the law. Yeah, thanks a lot. You have just given your consent to spying on Americans here in America, with absolutely no accountability for the government ordering this or the telcos that willingly go along.

SOMEONE, ANYONE -- TELL ME WE ARE NOT SLIPPING INTO FASCISM! I DARE YOU!

We Are About to Officially Become A Fascist Nation

I want to link a post on dailykos.com by mcjoan here, because I think she does an excellent job in laying out the stakes we face as the Senate now debates the amendments to the FISA bill. These five Democratic senators, and there may be more, depending on who fails to vote for what key amendments, should under no circumstances be supported in their re-election bids if they are running this November, no matter what:

Jay Rockefeller (WV)
Tim Johnson (SD)
Blanche Lincoln (AR)
Evan Bayh (IN)
Mary Landrieu (LA)

They are traitors to the Democratic Party, but more importantly traitors to their country. They have sold out American citizens so that the Bush thugs can spy on us with no accountability, and for that there is no forgiveness. They are the reason our Senate and Congress as a whole get such bad ratings -- it's because they do NOTHING to stop Bush's spying, fascist agenda from rolling forward and ruining our democracy. Mary Landrieu and Jay Rockefeller in particular will be the chief Democrats who will allow telecommunications companies to receive retroactive immunity for the laws they have broken in aiding Bush and his jack-booted thugs to spy on us with no impunity. How shameful. Good riddance to you five, you god-damned motherfucking traitors. You nasty-ass motherfuckers are no better than your fascist Republican counterparts. I expect to see one of the Senators Nelson, and maybe a Senator Salazar in the coming days who will also aid in this despicable FISA bill becoming law, stripping it of the crucial amendments that the good senators Feingold and Dodd and Whitehouse have added that would keep Americans safe from government spying and corporate law-breaking. You, senators, will have proven no better than the above five, and shall deserve the same rejection. Make no mistake: the Verizons and the AT&T's of this world are NOT patriotic companies in the least. They are aiders and abettors of the crimes of Bush and his regime.

This is despicable. Good luck to all of us when this bill becomes law.

Election 2008: Is It Really About Candidates & Issues?


Reflecting on the U.S. presidential race thus far, and looking ahead to the remainder of it, I'm struck by how little it has to do with real substance -- issues, character -- than it does with the self-importance of various interested players.

The debates have had less to do than with actually hashing out the important issues of the day than with advertising various media outlets and showing us the so-called journalists who want to be seen as "important." Yeah, that's you, Tim Russert. Yeah, that's you, Chris Matthews. Yeah, that's you, too, Wolf Blitzer. Ooh, look at CNN -- they're so hip and relevant because they're co-sponsoring debates with Facebook and YouTube! Look at me, America! I'm Iowa and I'm first, dammit, so notice me! Oh, yeah, Iowa? Well we're the first primary, so our election matters more cuz more people can actually vote, and we're first, dammit! Damn all you other Americans, you're not important, you don't really know who's best-qualified to be president like we do! Hey, look at us! We're the Democratic Party and so you better fall in line and "unite" behind a candidate before...before we melt and America falls apart. No, Democrats, we're the REAL Americans, us GOP, us Republicans, and so what we say "matters" more than anyone. And look, there's John McCain, he must be really serious cuz' he's so old and he's white and always so serious when he speaks. We don't really care what he actually says!

Then there's the posturing over that all-important veep slot. Cuz who's running for president doesn't matter! John McCain may a crazy old coot, running his mouth off about bombing Iran and staying in Iraq for a thousand years, but if he picks Bambi as his running mate -- aww, wouldn't that be a sweet ticket! I've totally changed my mind about him now! My, my, how we're so fooled. DICK Cheney (prounounced shuh-NAY) was supposed to lend "gravitas" to George W. Bush, and we all know what "gravitas" really means now in Republican circles -- more wars and more brown people getting bombed. After eight years of this douchebag running the country, maybe we should rethink how vp's used to be picked during the U.S.'s first 100 years: 2nd place finish for president. Hmm, that would mean a McCoot vice presidency. Stay strong and healthy, Hillary and Barack. All kidding aside, so what? Half the country would be satisfied and have a voice, no matter who wins. No, we say, we resign ourselves to remain a winner-take-all body politic where loud-mouthed minorities of people get to make up the rules, so oh well!

It all adds up to a bunch of noise, these CNN's, these Chris Matthewses, these Iowas and Nevadas and Facebooks and would-be vice presidents of the world who end up making their mark on the whole process (Finally I can be on Facebook and connect with everyone! Thanks, '08 election for making this possible! Iraq? Health Care? Vote? Whaaaa?) but ultimately leave us empty of knowledge. At least in the Ukraine people vote in droves and wear orange and it means something. In France they attach clothespins to their noses on their way to the polls while turning out right-wing nutjob Le Pen and that means something. In Spain they elect Zapatero president, a socialist (oh. NO! scary!), and within five months all their troops are out of Iraq, and if that doesn't mean something and tell us that maybe we should just stop playing these games and treat our democracy with a little more heft and a little more respect, I don't know what will mean anything.

Ann Coulter Will Endorse: Hillary Clinton!

I don't know if this is really what she thinks (as much as Ann Coulter can think) but here it is on Fox News. Assuming John McCain is the de facto Repug nominee come Feb. 5th, what with winner-take-all primaries in most states and the momentum that goes with a formidable lead in delegates, and it's a fairly safe assumption at this point, America's hate-iest hater, Ann Coulter, will campaign for Hillary Clinton. Or so she says.

This is either the most stunning news in modern political history or it's a complete fake-out on the part of the Fox News Channel. I suspect it's the latter, because they are afraid that Obama might win tomorrow (God I hope he does!), and so by pulling this obvious stunt they get more people to vote for Hillary because, and this is where it gets tricky -- they think that we will see this "endorsement" of Hillary by Ann Coulter as an obvious stunt, an attack on Hillary, and it will rally people behind her out of hatred for Ann Coulter. And presto -- Hillary gets more votes Feb. 5th, making her the de facto nominee against McCain, which is exactly what they want.

Only, I don't think this will work, or at least not have any affect whatsoever. NO ONE WATCHES THE FAUX NEWS CHANNEL ANY MORE! No one cares what the fuck they think because people know it to be the fraudulent propaganda machine for the Republican Party that it is, NOT a credible outlet for news.

Nice try, assholes!
