Reply #25: Impeachment? Yeah, right. [View All]

The corporate media will not allow the DSM to remain in the transient consciousness of the public for more than a week. It will be replaced with a Schiavo/Jacko type distraction.

In fact, comparing Clinton's aborted impeachment with DSM simply demonstrates that the "free" press has become the PR department for the Corporatocracy. Clinton's worst offense was lying about his infidelity, which is nominally a criminal act. The Monica Lewinsky story was in the press for months. It has been demonstrated that the Bush administration has fabricated evidence to "justify" it's commision of one of the worst crimes that a government can undertake, and it barely rates a front page story in most newspapers.

To reiterate:

Clinton: Guilty about lying about adultery. Leads to months of dogged press coverage and nearly impeachment.

Bush/Cheney: Fabricated mounds of evidence to justify the wholesale slaughter of Iraqis and US soldiers, in order to loot Iraqi resources. Leads to 3 days of mildly unfavorable press coverage.

At this point, it is quite likely that more innocents have been killed in Iraq than on 9/11. I bet you won't read that in your local newspaper.
