When will the protesters begin to chant, “Attica! Attica!”

Or more appropriate for the GOP, from later in the movie, “Out of the closet and into the street! Out of the closet and into the street!”

“Representative Boehner, do you still support those calling for the murder of Representative Frank Kratovil?”

“What about you Representative Cantor, do you still believe a Congressmen should be killed for voting for health insurance reform?”

“Representative McCotter, do you still agree with those who have called for the murder of one of your fellow Congressmen?”

Everywhere they go for the rest of the month they should have to answer some form of this question.

The SDS has been infiltrated by military spies. Amy Goodman has the story:

Newly declassified documents reveal that an active member of Students for a Democratic Society and Port Militarization Resistance in Washington state was actually an informant for the US military. The man everyone knew as “John Jacob” was in fact John Towery, a member of the Force Protection Service at Fort Lewis.

Pravda had it right when it ran the story about the American Sheeple rushing headlong into Marxism. It is funny that liberals don’t understand that there are conservatives in this country and we have taken note of liberal tactics like using the Internet, networking with various like minded groups, etc. You object to others using your plays and play books.
But the conservatives don’t have an ACORN or SEIU to get taxpayer money.

If only Fox, CBS, MSNBC, etc etc would have given and give the Health Care Now folk equal time and coverage. Not happenning.

follow the money

These “just say no” folk are the gun god gay voter that Rove tapped into. The people who are willing to vote against their own self interest while they swing their bibles in the air. Somehow they have forgotten that Jesus was a socialist

Nice: Angela Seabrook, NPR, reporting disruptive activities commented on the birther’s claims about Obama and added claims known not to be factual. Good for her. No ambiguity about the lies being pushed.

Do you happen to recall that HUGE lawsuit in Misssissippi,after Hurricane Katrina, against the insurance companies?

A class action by Dickie Scruggs against Allstate ,for denial of coverage?

Well, Scruggs was Trent Lott’s brother-in-law.Scruggs was already well known for his success against the tobacco companies.

Later,he(Scruggs) was found guilty of attempting to bribe the judge in the Allstate case.

Lott chose not to run for re-election.

Now, for a further bit of irony, the CEO of Allstate at the time of Katrina, was named by Paulson to head AIG,last fall.

I wonder if a comparison of photos & videos from the events would show that they are mostly the same people over and over at different events. I’d also like to know if they are getting paid by the health care lobbyists to prevent the American people from having an honest discussion with their Representatives.

Exactly which “truths” did CBS trample in their reporting? Please explain how the use of state power is justified in this instance.
