- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -9/+56Just part of being a free country right? It's OK that our government is supposed to be by the people and for the people. It's the thought that counts. Right?
Memo to the White House: ***** YOU ALL (P.S. - We have a manual for silencing things too) - webcure, on 10/11/2007, -5/+42Just another brick in the wall...
- nomad1974, on 10/11/2007, -14/+44It's good to see proof of what we already knew about Bush and Co. but it is definitely not a surprise. I mean if the Constitution wasn't locked behind a glass bunker they would have probably used it as t.p. by now!
- ptsd, on 10/11/2007, -8/+29they hate us for our freedom
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+18You know what really sucks about this country? The fact that we only get a choice between one or the other. And it never occurs to anyone that maybe both parties suck balls, we naturally assume that one must be good and the other not good.
More to the point, what the hell does your comment have to do with the article in question? - pgarin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11More and more it appears this administration has been using "selective imagery" to bolster it's own thinking and objectives.
This is no longer "We the people", it's "Us" and "Them".
Never have I seen a more vindictive, mean spirited self serving administration. - pigfister, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10you heard of Americas Free speech Zones?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_speech_zone
in America you have NO right to free speech, if you say anything that is anti government you are classed as a dissident and will be treated as a terrorist for opposing American law and for helping the terrorist cause!
thank you patriot act for turning america into the police state that the corporations want! - clark24, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Where have I read this before... oh that's right, you post it on every new article in the "Political News" section. Posting it umpteen times is not going to change these ramblings into facts. Who needs facts when you have truthiness though!?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7counter-protest 'squads':
The document offered advice on how to recruit members for such squads: "The rally squads can include, but are not limited to, college/young republican organizations, local athletic teams, and fraternities/sororities." /quote
in other words: conformists - rainergamer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6This is important. If you're looking for a picture of a cat looking at a monitor, go somewhere else.
- kroenecker, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7I'm sorry but sometimes adults should act like adults and that includes the the difficulty of *gasp* cleaning up other people's actions. So even if Clinton created a problem, Bush could have ridden the wave of international sympathy down a positive route. Rather he chose to abuse it.
- pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5i don't know what story you are referring to, but al franken is not the government. the first amendment says the government can't violate free speech or assembly.
- diggydougie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I don't think that "protest areas" are constitutional:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. - goffy59, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I read the same ***** on another digg. ***** you.
- moxley, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I appreciate that fact that you are doing something, but the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections were corrupted. This is a fact - they did it so many ways - but what had the most impact was the vote counts being swapped in key counties.
This will work at the local level, but as long as there unverifiable closed source voting machines (using MSAccess tables to boot!); and as long as there is no transparency, the elections will always be able to be rigged to a degree.
We are dealing with criminals here. The Bush administration is chock full of them, and before anyone starts with their "you're a liberal, democrats suck" rants, let me just say that the democratic party is just barely better than the GOP now - they are botuh big business, corrupt racketeering machines - so I don't think that they are the true answer.
Ron Paul is the only candidate who would make a genuinely honorable, true president - but they will stop him from winning however they need to. - rnwen2750, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Reeeally? How is the Land of Delusion this time of year?
- pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4please fill out your request for a permit, and we will let you know where and when you can have your revolution.
- krnldmp, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7It's not the White House. It's the Bush Administration. Get it straight.
- rationalist, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Not just conformists; physically intimidating, thuggish and frequently inebriated conformists.
- murphygr, on 10/11/2007, -10/+13and digg has a way to avoid dupes
both could be useful - multitude, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4To the contrary, any "news" carries the inherent possibility of not being "new." Get used to it and quit whining.
- rationalist, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3You're right. We should all go back to sleep and let our government take away the rest of our rights. Heaven forbid we are reminded of something someone said before!
When novelty is considered more important than significance, a society is truly fallen. - 5urr3al5am, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5If this were true.. I'm pretty sure that it was true 7 years ago... btw.. good reference /sarcasm
- tehpwnrate, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5How is that relevant? I agreed with you when you said this in a thread about Iraq...
- hiphoc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3True, every 4 or 8 years we get a switch in the gang bang called US politics. The republicans are Ron Jeramey and the dems are Peter North. We citizens have been acting like bitches screaming and moaning about getting *****. But I am happy to see that people on both sides are tired of this *****. Now its time to take action. We need to get all career politicians out of office. Its time to elect our neighbors, relatives. The way it was supposed to be. Being a politician is not a career!!! People used to serve then go back home to A ***** JOB. And let someone else serve this country. And we need to keep calling these people servants not authorities officials. ***** them all.
- TomRitchford, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4"this really isn't any different than what previous presidents have done in the past"
Care to share any evidence for your unsubstantiated claim, or shall we just ignore this as noise? - pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2i don't understand the problem with dupes. not everyone is sitting around on digg 24/7. it's one thing when a group of people coordinate to flood digg with the same issue so that a large percentage of the articles are the same, but that is not the case here.
- kildorn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3They haven't left
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Enemies of freedom should be dispersed by the gun manual.
- chokeaduck, on 10/11/2007, -12/+14Wasn't this already on the front page a week ago? What is it with these re-runs? News isn't supposed to have reruns!
- adml_shake, on 10/11/2007, -9/+11Hasn't every administration had an out line like this?
- Draphilius, on 10/11/2007, -10/+12The PDF to this was posted a while ago...
Anyways, even though I really don't like Bush & Co (and support their impeachment), this really isn't any different than what previous presidents have done in the past. We're just being biased at the moment (can you really blame us?). - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Seriously the 6th time this has been on digg.
- NecroSexy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4We don't need no education...
- moomoohey, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5haha ummm DUH? Of course they have this! Are you kidding me? They needed this for the Vietnam protesters as well. If you did not know, you must also believe this war is not for oil. haha
- rnwen2750, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2It's a bit alarming when citizens are being used to stop citizens from peacefully protesting.
- qbyte, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6Yet, somehow you managed to say that and live. What an idiot.
- rationalist, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2You are more concerned about dupes than about civil liberties. Shows your priorities.
- rationalist, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Is there a medical procedure all you brownshirts submit to, where they actually sever the neuronal clusters that control literacy, logic and basic grammar?
- s1mph0ny, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2The existence of a manual is still interesting. It's not necessarily incriminating, except for the idea that protesters will always be a problem.
- rationalist, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Betting that you didn't actually *read* the manual.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3How about we organize a revolution? We are over due for one already...
- Kevmike, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2What?
- rubyscube, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Brilliantly put mate 8)
- rationalist, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2and the tunnel visionsed pro-BUSH diggers must deny the truth, as always!
- rubyscube, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Very important to note, this is not constitutional at all.. Actually it's illegal, but you guys don't care do you? :P
- teterville, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3And the American people say to Bush, "shut the hell up!"
- buddhajer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Remember, they let Osama bomb us and he is still free. These people don't respect the rule of law. They cover up. They lie. They obstruct justice. They leak the names of CIA agents. They interfere with the NIE. They have lost the war in Iraq. They are losing Afghanistan. Al Qaeda is now stronger than ever. And they commute the sentences of their convicted cronies to silence them. Cheney had 7 deferrments, Bush went AWOL in the National Guard and Rove never served. They gave the taxpayer's money to Halliburton and the defense industry. They are responsible for the deaths of thousands of american troops. They have caused PTSD in over 40,000 men and women, which forever changes their lives and the lives of their families. They spy on us without the proper authority. They imprison without regard to the constitution. They torture. Hmm. Am I missing something? Oh yeah, they obstruct scientific facts for their ideological positions. And Bush does signing statements on practically every law he signs, thereby exempting him from the law!!! There is soooo much I am missing. When are we going to impeach?
- TrAvELAr, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3This was posted 2-3 weeks... not the same article, but I've buried it nonetheless.
- rubyscube, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1A band is entertainment accountable only to themselves, the president is working for the people and as such is accountable to the people.
