- laserblazer, on 10/11/2007, -15/+146Applying the same terrorist tactics that they used to scare voters in the '00 and '04 elections, these scum prove they'll hurt anyone at any time to stifle the truth.
Par for the course. The Republican party and their Democrat partners are ***** America. The old good cop/bad cop trick never fails. - jbus, on 10/11/2007, -2/+96The original article from Harper's: http://harpers.org/archive/2007/06/hbc-90000351
- MonsterChaOS, on 10/11/2007, -8/+92The ends justify the means for the neocons. Why do people still support these jackasses?
- Killbane, on 10/11/2007, -6/+82Looks like the good old boys are pissed..
- crzdmn, on 10/11/2007, -5/+66Do away with all parties to make people to vote for the person not a faceless party.
- dumuzi, on 10/11/2007, -9/+65Hey guys, look this way! Paris is out of jail!
Go back to sleep America. - blaze4metal, on 10/11/2007, -1/+50FTA: "Wouldn’t it be nice if the folks in the national media did their jobs these days?"
Oh they are doing their jobs alright:

Fox News front page article: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,286696,00.html - gthrank, on 10/11/2007, -4/+51Whats the difference between this and burning crosses of the front lawns of people?
These ***** will fall. Very very hard. - AntBing, on 10/11/2007, -1/+39Its a shame that nothing is going to change, mainly because there are too many lazy people who would rather post worthless comments than go out and protest or rally for a cause. We need to get off our asses and do something about the problems rather than whine on a website most people will never see.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+41When will these bastards realise that by undertaking such actions against so-called whistle blowers they are only giving the claims more and more weight and legitimacy!!
- afolse, on 10/11/2007, -3/+36This is disgusting, but the reality is that this kind of thing happens all of the time. In a college class I had three years back a woman came in to speak about the results of using depleted uranium in bombs and weapons in warfare and the the horrific results it can have on the victims, innocent bystanders, people in the area, the soldiers, and the soldiers families. She was a whistle blower to the mutilating affects that the depleted uranium was having for anyone who came in contact with it and often those who had problems because their spouses or partners were infected with it. This woman decided that she was going to make it her life goal to expose this type of injustice and blew the whistle on the company she was working with. Needless to say her story was actually just as bad as this person's in Alabama. They tried to make it seem like she was crazy. They tried to get her daughter taken away from her, they ruined her marriage, of course got her fired, and have still been tormenting her to this day, because she will not stop her crusade at any cost. She said she feared her life every day, but she knew that what she was doing was for the greater good. How can we let this kind of thing keep happening?
- BlacklabelSAR, on 10/11/2007, -1/+33Witness the violence inherent in the system. Money and power rules, the rest is just window dressing. We are all being ***** every day of our lives, to quote Bill Hicks.
- toasty168, on 10/11/2007, -1/+31Article is a good read. Shows just how far our Machevalian politics have come. it's disgusting.
- DocHoliday22, on 10/11/2007, -4/+34The line's being blurred between Scientologists and Republicans...
- RFacter, on 10/11/2007, -0/+29Boy, I'd love to be able to protest how corrupt our government seems to have gotten, but I know that if I do, I might risk imprisonment. If only there was a way we could coordinate a large scale protest electronically from the privacy of our own homes before we actually foolishly went out on our own only to get detained indefinitely under our post Patriot Act regime.
- oriondarkwood, on 10/11/2007, -2/+28You every wonder why you never hear about the Mafia anymore.. cause they all given up illegal business for the legal and much more profitable business of running our goverment
WAKE UP SHEEP, FREE YOUR MIND, GRAB YOUR FOREFATHERS BALL's and USE THEM - Robyr, on 10/11/2007, -1/+25Karen Silkwood. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Silkwood
Killed after a crusade against Kerr-McGee, and the health hazards it allowed to remain unchecked. I know someone who worked with her, and remembers the car she drove. She was not known to take mass amounts of drugs, and did not use tranquilizers, but an trooper said he found Marijuana and the coroner found methaqualone in her blood. The marijuana was never found or turned in as evidence, and the bottle for the qualudes were never found. Imagine that. - EricMiIIer, on 07/10/2009, -0/+21Well here are the steps she needs to take:
1. Make a video tape, showing the date of a newspaper, and tell everything she knows on that tape.
2. Make SEVERAL copies of that tape and distribute said tape to individuals in the media, alternative media, a LOCAL judge, and an unknown source (a friend that no one would be able to link to her) with instructions to copy and distribute on a viral scale should anything happen to her.
3. Contact her local Militia or personal protection agency to have security detail organized.
4. GO PUBLIC, get on Larry King, or whoever will take you and tell the whole story. Once that happens no one can touch you. Your Testimony is on film and ready to go and CANNOT be recanted.
In a situation like this you are dead, until you can prove you want to live. It sucks but its fact. These people will do anything and everything to silence her voice, now she has to do anything and everything to protect it. - polyGone, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16They prey on the ignorance of a society that generally has to work 40-55 hours a week. After working your ass off, to survive, the masses last thought is participating in government. That coupled with the fact that the MSM is just another branch of the government.
- polyGone, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17Go ahead and count how many times they used the word terrorist on television.
- williamdyer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Mitt Romney's favorite book is Battlefield Earth.
That's creepier than secret underwear. - Pfhreak, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12You do realize that the "Republican" mentioned in the title is the whistleblower (the heroine, basically), right? If anything, it helps demonstrate that Republicans are good people, too, and are willing to resist the corruption taking hold of their own party, which I would have thought you'd be all for, giving the ideological bent implied in your post.
"Clinton did it to" does not give any future administration a free pass. Especially when you bring up that "Clinton was having people wacked" nonsense that was debunked 10 years ago, as well. If Clinton had actually done it, it would have been wrong, and it would still be wrong if somebody else did it today. - CheckPlease, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Oh, you mean Mormons? Aren't they the meeting point between Scientologists and Republicans?
- blaze4metal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Just to get away with it.
- laserblazer, on 10/11/2007, -5/+16Shows what you know. Study the GOP's track-record, listen to the eye-witnesses or read the Rove emails.
Ignorance is ugly, but far worse when the information is so readily available. - rcook18, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10This seems like it should get looked at closer
- GooMan, on 10/11/2007, -5/+15The article mentioned Rove but forgot to mention Halliburton. You all know that everything wrong in the world involves both of them.
- SouthsideIrish, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Move to New Hampshire. Much harder to disappear when people have got you back. Judges now realize that if you put a protester away that he, the police and the prison are going to be harassed by a lot of people. Tends to make them just want to let the prisoner go. Heck, the Secret Service doesn't even know what to do about the Browns, every time they try to raid them lots of people show up to take pictures.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9"Oh... wait... that doesn't gel with your conspiracy theories. Never mind."
True. That is YOUR conspiracy theory. - sibhod, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9considering this scandal implicates karl rove, then blaming this on neo-cons is pretty dead on
- ivanisavich, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Wow that's pretty messed up.
- roystgnr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8crzdmn: To get rid of political parties we'd have to get rid of freedom of assembly, and you wouldn't like the unintended consequences of that.
TheTaoOfBill: The Electoral College, although a bad thing overall, is actually the only reason why many of us can vote for third-party candidates without "throwing our vote away". It was safe for me to vote for Badanarik in 2004, because there was no chance of my vote swaying Texas' electoral votes from Bush to Kerry. I had to hold my nose and vote for Gore in 2000, because there was a non-trivial chance that my vote would have made the difference in a swing state and kept Bush out of office.
If we want to break the political party stranglehold on politics, the first thing we need to get rid of is plurality voting. Replace it with Condorcet, even replace it with Approval, but the important thing is that people need to be able to cast votes for a long shot candidate without abdicating their right to also express a preference between the two leading candidates. - Urusai, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8A hit man?
- StrangeFamous, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8It's "Life sucks, get a ***** helmet"... a quote from Denis Leary... who got his inspiration from Bill Hicks. You just pwned yourself, douchebag.
- jellygraph, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9these sorts of republicans make me sick...
- feoren, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7"Neocon": short for "Neoconservative", meaning "New Conservative". This means people who call themselves conservatives, but advocate big, encroaching government and huge spending, exactly things which are totally counter to what "conservative" literally means, and what it used to mean. Neocon means Karl Rove, it means George Bush, it means almost anyone who is currently in the Republican party (except Ron Paul).
- Mtdewrulz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Help! Help! I'm being Repressed! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?
- idonthack, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7You think you've got it bad, I'm from Texas.
- kuzotz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7lol people outside the south tend to prove how ignorant they are when they talk about the south..
I'm in oklahoma. What now? Am I gonna get the same ***** talk avasol?
Dumbass. - necbone, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Don't mess with Evil Empire, they ALWAYS strike back!!
- StrangeFamous, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9It's a good thing you're on the same website posting comments then, instead of organizing rallies.
- phonepimpbill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Pretty accurate commentary, though. More people know about Paris Hilton than anything that matters.
- rcook18, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Or, maybe she is telling the truth
- phonepimpbill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Most of the Founders of this country said the same thing, but nobody listened.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 10/11/2007, -4/+10Write your congressman to do away with the electoral college and you will be doing just that.
- feoren, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6"The ends" for these guys is controlling the entire government of America and absolute, eternal power for the Republican party. It's pretty hard to find people who desire those ends that aren't willing to justify any means.
- nonsequitor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6They DID try to kill her twice. They burned down her house, presumably they believed her to be inside it at the time. They ran her car off the road, with her inside it. How is that not 2 attempts at murder?
- quakerorts, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Time is the only national outlet that's covered the story so far:
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=&q=Dana+Jill+Simpson&btnG=Search+News - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I hate the kind of comment that AntBing presents.
Talk comes before action. We are just preparing ourselves. As time goes on, I see more and more intelligent and insightful comments on their take on the administration.
Its no longer: Bush sucks!
Its: Bush has taken away the following freedoms, done this, this, and that. Constitution this, wiretapping that.
etc.
At least -- I'm speaking for myself. Because of comments on digg and other social news sites I am much more knowledgeable about our constitution. Sometimes the comments section can be much more insightful than the featured website itself. - usrlocalbin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6"Back and to the left. Back and to the left"
Why do they let bad people run rampant and kill off all the good ones? JFK, Gandhi, MLK, John Lennon, etc.
Sad sad country we're living in today. -
