3. So, it is clear that we do live in a fascist state. We all know they have the media.
We post about it, we observe it, we complain about it (I do too).
The big question to me is what can we possibly do about it? This has to be stopped somehow....

4. Kerry's problem was he spoke right after Bill Clinton...however, I agree with your point
They aired the Meg Whitman eBay bullshit as well without interruption.

In the same vein, Larry King's so-called "loyal opposition" show last night featured Jesse Ventura, who bitched as much about the Democrats as he did the Republicans.

They'll never be our friends.

11. Well, she knows John McCain, too - I didn't know that either
But since she's now said it about 12 times, I'm starting to believe her.

9. It's OK...the audience is audibly ignoring her...
like the last few speakers. They are not really paying any attention to the speakers this afternoon, just chatting to each other and waving their signs whenever they hear 'tax' or 'president'. She might as well be reading hte phone book.
