I see in today’s news that a 14-year-old boy has been charged with a hate crime for shooting a 15-year-old gay classmate at an Oxnard, Calif. junior high school.
This kind of thing didn’t happen when I was a young bunny, and it’s impossible for me to believe that America’s violent entertainment culture (movies, TV shows, and video games) has nothing to do with it.
I think this culture desensitizes children. It teaches them to think of real life as a movie or video game: When you shoot the “bad guy” he gets up again. Death has lost its meaning.
Couple this with rightwing extremist ideology and I can see a new generation of Hitler Youth emerging.

according to the Secret Service, there were “no lapses” in security at Obama rallies in Dallas and elsewhere when weapons screening was halted as the venues filled. This was part of a “comprehensive and layered security plan” for Obama.

one question: is that how they do it for Bush?

BY JACK DOUGLAS JR.
McClatchy News Service
DALLAS — The U.S. Secret Service on Friday defended their handling of security during a massive rally in downtown Dallas for Barack Obama, saying there was no ”lapse” in their ”comprehensive and layered security plan” which called for some people to be checked for weapons, while others were not.
A report in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that said some security measures were lifted during Wednesday’s rally sparked a public outrage across the country, with most people saying they were shocked that a routine weapons search was lifted at the front gates of Reunion Arena an hour before the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage.

Newsweek Catches McCain Campaign In Falsehood
At the heart of the McCain lobbying scandal is 2 letters the senator wrote to the FCC on behalf of Paxson Communications. The company wanted to buy a Pittsburgh TV station, but regulatory approval was stalled in the FCC bureaucracy. In this letter, McCain avoided asking for approval, but pushed the FCC to decide one way or the other.
Knowing the New York Times was working on a story, McCain hired Washington lawyer Bill Bennett to work up a defense. According to Newsweek, Bennett “organized a massive document search and met with Times editors and reporters to show them that … [t]he campaign could find no record of either Iseman or her client, Paxson, meeting with McCain to ask for those letters to the FCC requesting a decision on the Pittsburgh TV station.”
Meanwhile, Newsweek reports, the McCain campaign “insisted that he had not been contacted by … Paxson Communications … on the … two letters … McCain … sent to the Federal Communications Commission.”
Gotcha!
Newsweek has come up with a deposition from a 2002 lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law in which McCain testified under oath that “he was personally lobbied by Lowell (Bud) Paxson, the president of Paxson Communications — and possibly Paxson’s lobbyist, Iseman” and “acknowledged in the deposition that his relationship with Paxson — flying on the corporate jet, taking $20,000 in campaign contributions — would ‘absolutely’ look corrupt to the ordinary voter.”
In addition, Newsweek reports, “Paxson told The Washington Post last week that he recalled lobbying McCain about the FCC issue in a meeting in the senator’s office set up by Iseman.”
So, at a minimum, the McCain campaign’s spin that he wasn’t lobbied by Paxson is false.
In addition, McCain denies that any of his staffers tried to block Iseman’s access to the senator or warned Iseman that her relationship with the senator was “inappropriate,” but Newsweek has independently confirmed those allegations by conducting its own interviews with McCain staffers.
Roger Rabbit Commentary: This scandal isn’t about sex. It’s about a politician who claims to be a straight talker and a straight shooter turning out to be just another prevaricating politician. That doesn’t make him worse than politicians in general. But it does make him a politician who pretends to be something he isn’t.

Gitmo defense lawyers: defending a man driven insane.
Today in the Washington Post, Joseph Margulies and George Brent Mickum — defense attorneys for Guantanamo detainee Abu Zubaydah — describe the prisoner’s mental insanity after being held by the United States for years:
Regardless of whether he was “insane” to begin with, he has gone through quite an ordeal since his arrest in Pakistan in March 2002. Shuttled through CIA “black sites” around the world, he was subjected to a sustained course of interrogation designed to instill what a CIA training manual euphemistically calls “debility, dependence and dread.” Zubaydah’s world became freezing rooms alternating with sweltering cells. Screaming noise replaced by endless silence. Blinding light followed by dark, underground chambers. Hours confined in contorted positions. And, as we recently learned, Zubaydah was subjected to waterboarding. We do not know what remains of his mind, and we will probably never know what he experienced.
They added that “if we cannot learn the facts and share them with others, the truth is only what the administration reports it to be.”
Some of you wingnuts will argue that this terrorist deserved this treatment. And I’ll agree, if he is indeed guilty, he should be punished; but not like this. We show ourselves to be no better than the “evil-doers.

It’s an extraordinary, deep peek into a hopelessly corrupt Justice Department. They’ve been struggling to keep the lid on this story for two years. And on Sunday it is going to blow.

I see in today’s news that a 14-year-old boy has been charged with a hate crime for shooting a 15-year-old gay classmate at an Oxnard, Calif. junior high school.
This kind of thing didn’t happen when I was a young bunny, and it’s impossible for me to believe that America’s violent entertainment culture (movies, TV shows, and video games) has nothing to do with it.
I think this culture desensitizes children. It teaches them to think of real life as a movie or video game: When you shoot the “bad guy” he gets up again. Death has lost its meaning.
Couple this with rightwing extremist ideology and I can see a new generation of Hitler Youth emerging.

according to the Secret Service, there were “no lapses” in security at Obama rallies in Dallas and elsewhere when weapons screening was halted as the venues filled. This was part of a “comprehensive and layered security plan” for Obama.
so… their “plan” which has “layers” allows people with weapons into the venue where Obama is speaking. check.
one question: is that how they do it for Bush?
details from the Miami Herald:
BY JACK DOUGLAS JR.
McClatchy News Service
DALLAS — The U.S. Secret Service on Friday defended their handling of security during a massive rally in downtown Dallas for Barack Obama, saying there was no ”lapse” in their ”comprehensive and layered security plan” which called for some people to be checked for weapons, while others were not.
A report in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that said some security measures were lifted during Wednesday’s rally sparked a public outrage across the country, with most people saying they were shocked that a routine weapons search was lifted at the front gates of Reunion Arena an hour before the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage.

Newsweek Catches McCain Campaign In Falsehood
At the heart of the McCain lobbying scandal is 2 letters the senator wrote to the FCC on behalf of Paxson Communications. The company wanted to buy a Pittsburgh TV station, but regulatory approval was stalled in the FCC bureaucracy. In this letter, McCain avoided asking for approval, but pushed the FCC to decide one way or the other.
Knowing the New York Times was working on a story, McCain hired Washington lawyer Bill Bennett to work up a defense. According to Newsweek, Bennett “organized a massive document search and met with Times editors and reporters to show them that … [t]he campaign could find no record of either Iseman or her client, Paxson, meeting with McCain to ask for those letters to the FCC requesting a decision on the Pittsburgh TV station.”
Meanwhile, Newsweek reports, the McCain campaign “insisted that he had not been contacted by … Paxson Communications … on the … two letters … McCain … sent to the Federal Communications Commission.”
Gotcha!
Newsweek has come up with a deposition from a 2002 lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law in which McCain testified under oath that “he was personally lobbied by Lowell (Bud) Paxson, the president of Paxson Communications — and possibly Paxson’s lobbyist, Iseman” and “acknowledged in the deposition that his relationship with Paxson — flying on the corporate jet, taking $20,000 in campaign contributions — would ‘absolutely’ look corrupt to the ordinary voter.”
In addition, Newsweek reports, “Paxson told The Washington Post last week that he recalled lobbying McCain about the FCC issue in a meeting in the senator’s office set up by Iseman.”
So, at a minimum, the McCain campaign’s spin that he wasn’t lobbied by Paxson is false.
In addition, McCain denies that any of his staffers tried to block Iseman’s access to the senator or warned Iseman that her relationship with the senator was “inappropriate,” but Newsweek has independently confirmed those allegations by conducting its own interviews with McCain staffers.

Gitmo defense lawyers: defending a man driven insane.
Today in the Washington Post, Joseph Margulies and George Brent Mickum — defense attorneys for Guantanamo detainee Abu Zubaydah — describe the prisoner’s mental insanity after being held by the United States for years:
Regardless of whether he was “insane” to begin with, he has gone through quite an ordeal since his arrest in Pakistan in March 2002. Shuttled through CIA “black sites” around the world, he was subjected to a sustained course of interrogation designed to instill what a CIA training manual euphemistically calls “debility, dependence and dread.” Zubaydah’s world became freezing rooms alternating with sweltering cells. Screaming noise replaced by endless silence. Blinding light followed by dark, underground chambers. Hours confined in contorted positions. And, as we recently learned, Zubaydah was subjected to waterboarding. We do not know what remains of his mind, and we will probably never know what he experienced.
They added that “if we cannot learn the facts and share them with others, the truth is only what the administration reports it to be.”
Some of you wingnuts will argue that this terrorist deserved this treatment. And I’ll agree, if he is indeed guilty, he should be punished; but not like this. We show ourselves to be no better than the “evil-doers.

So 16%ers are you all going to watch the Oscars, or will I see some of you at a volunteer mission this evening?

Kind of like Clueless Idiot, who claimed to be married with chillen.
Kind of like Pelletizer who claims to be an animal. Well that maybe true.
Kind of like headless lucy with his 17 other names. Wait a minute that is true.
The Oscars. What a crock!

Not many stupes left YLB. We’ve run most of em off and we’ll mop up the remaining few during the next election. Then the only place you’ll find them is in prison.

The rise of democratic frontrunner Barack Obama signifies an alarming victory of style over substance. Not unlike the dot-com hype, his campaign promises more than he can deliver. The one thing his voters can count on is that they will ultimately be disappointed.

And Osama bin Laden and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would be the real winners of the 2008 American presidential election.

Watch 60 minutes Sunday spews:
Harper’s Scott Horton has been following and reporting on the story of Karl Rove’s limitless crusade to destroy Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman of Alabama about as closely as anyone can follow a story. Yesterday, Scott emailed to say:
You should alert your readers to watch 60 Minutes on Sunday for an extremely important piece. They will learn how at the instigation of Karl Rove, the Justice Department was turned into a political hit machine to destroy the reputation and ultimately imprison AL governor Don Siegelman on accusations which do not constitute, no matter how you parse it, a crime. . . .
It’s an extraordinary, deep peek into a hopelessly corrupt Justice Department. They’ve been struggling to keep the lid on this story for two years. And on Sunday it is going to blow.

But it’s OK for the liberal media to crusade to destroy
President Bush. Even a fucking hurricane is his fault.
Karl Rove is a fine patriot and would never lie. Seigelman
must be a piece of work.
