The Real WMD's = CMW's
I firmly believe that the real opposition is not Bush/Cheney now.

It is the CMW's - Corporate Media Whores
They are the most powerful WMD's - Weapons of Mass Distortion

Fight them/Write them/E-mail them/Call them/Boycott them
Take Back Our Media
and we will
Take Back Our Country!

1. To keep on-message we have to stop throwing around the "WMD" line.
The Bush administration is trying to soften the WMD definition because they weren't able to find any. Now, they find plans or components that COULD have been used for hostile purposes and try to draw a connection between their findings and the threat of WMD that they used to justify the war.

Suggesting that biased journalists or Bush's lies or somebody's dirty socks are "the REAL WMD" just helps them soften the definition, IMHO.

By the way, while I don't agree that they are quite as dangerous as you imply, I agree that the best way to deal with them is money. Employers and sponsors suffering monetary losses is the best way to neuter them.

2. The real "Axis of Evil"......
"The true axis of evil in America is the brilliance of our marketing combined with the stupidity of our people. George Bush has $180 million to spend. With that kind of money, he could convince Americans to drink paint, and he probably will. "

"With enough money, you can convince people of anything. And that is what George Bush does. He is one of the most cynical presidents we‘ve ever had, I believe, because with that kind of money, he plays on people‘s fears, he plays on people‘s ignorance, and he plays on people‘s shortsightedness."

-Bill Maher, on MSNBC's Hardball, April 30, 2004

3. CMWs are a most virulent enemy within IMHO: canceled my subscription
to the local newspaper published by one of the worst of the CMWs.
