Did you see my Doctor Who post last thread?

I am sure no one knows what you are talking about.

Every dollar McCain gets is now going to the General.

There is no one other than McCain to fund.

It is hard to say how much Hillary and Obama will spend while fighting each other, but every dollar they spend it one less they will have for McCain.

But I don't think this one is going to come down to money.

I think it is going to come down to Obama.

Who is Obama? And what the hell is he thinking?

That is what the folks will want to know!

Folks want to know if Insane McCain has his campaign funding problem taken care of.
FEC petitions are such fun things.

Now you have made enough money off my charitable responses.

Army Reportedly Targeted Southern Churches
Washington Post
March 21, 1993
Associated Press

MEMPHIS, March 20-- The Army began spying on black Americans more than 75 years ago in a campaign that was centered on southern churches and covered three generations of the family Of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the Commercial Appeal Reported in Sunday editions.

The spying , sometimes involving Green Berets, began with King's maternal grandfather, who was pastor of a Baptist church in Atlanta. It continued to include King's father and then the civil rights leader himself, the newspaper said.

The newspaper did not indicate when the spying stopped but said it also involved such prominent members of the 1960s civil rights movement such as H. Rap Brown and Stokely Carmichael, now Kwame Toure.
The Commercial Appeal said its findings were the result of a 16 month investigation that included a review of classified documents and meetings notes from government and private archives, as well as more than 200 interviews with Army agents living in this country and Mexico.

The spying was conducted, the newspaper said, because of the Army's conviction that black Americans were ripe for subversion by German agents during World War I and later by communists and anti-war groups.

While previous surveillance of U.S. civil rights leaders has been documented, most has involved the work of the FBI and local police agencies, rather than the military.
The Spying during the 1960s civil rights era was conducted during a time when the Army fretted over growing unrest at home while much of its resources were committed to fighting the Vietnam War, the newspaper said.

To spy on civil rights activists

Washington Post
March 21, 1993

Con't Part II

"The Army was over a barrel" Maj. Gen. P. Yarborough, the Army's top spy in the mid-1960s, and from an interview from his Southern Pines, N.C., home. "Blacks were using the uncertainty of the Vietnam period and taking advantage of it. You couldn't expect people to be rational and look at this in a cool way . We were trying to fight a war at the time where the home base was being eroded".

According to the newspaper, the Army used wiretaps and information from the Ku Klux Klan to keep track of the civil rights movement's leaders. U2 spy planes also were used to gather information on civil rights demonstrations throughout the 1960s, the newspaper said.

According to a transcript of a conversation among King, Brown and Carmichael recorded in a Washington motel Feb. 7, 1968, King argued with the two over whether the movement should become violent. " Is killing and burning in your own people's street your answer?" King said. Carmichael replied, It's time. We can't wait anymore."

When King was shot to death in Memphis on April 4, 1968, eight undercover Green beret soldiers were there to keep an eye on him, the newspaper said.

James Earl Ray pleaded guilty to the assassination and is serving 99 years. The Commercial said its investigation found no evidence of Army involvement in King's death.

52 Girls Removed From Fundamentalist Compound

Officials from Texas Child Protective Services (CPS) removed 52 girls, ages 6 months to 17 years, from the from the Fundamentalist LDS Church’s compound near Eldorado, TX. Update: A total of 183 young women, girls and boys - 97 girls, 40 boys and 46 young women over the age of 18 - have been removed.

The investigation into the safety of the children living at the ranch was initiated after Child Protective Services were notified by someone that a 16-year-old girl had suffered physical abuse. Eighteen of the girls removed from the compound were put legally into state custody because they appeared to have “been abused or were at immediate risk of future abuse.” The rest of the young girls children are currently staying at a local civic center until authorities find them foster homes.

In Oregon, Clinton Makes False Claim About Her Iraq Record Vs. Obama's
April 06, 2008 9:49 AM

In Eugene, Ore., Saturday. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., attempted to change the measure by which anyone might assess who criticized the Iraq war first, her or Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., by saying those keeping records should start in January 2005, when Obama joined the Senate. (A measure that conveniently avoids her October 2002 vote to authorize use of force against Iraq at a time that Obama was speaking out against the war.) She claimed that using that measure, she criticized the war in Iraq before Obama did.

But Clinton's claim was false.

Clinton on Saturday told Oregonians, "when Sen. Obama came to the Senate he and I have voted exactly the same except for one vote. And that happens to be the facts. We both voted against early deadlines. I actually starting criticizing the war in Iraq before he did."

It's an odd way to measure opposition to the war -- comparing who gave the first criticism of the war in Iraq starting in January 2005, ignoring Obama's opposition to the war throughout 2003 and 2004. (And Clinton's vote for it.)

But even if one were to employ this "Start Counting in January 2005" measurement, Clinton did not criticize the war in Iraq first.

McCain Gets Facts Wrong On Iraq Again

Facts can be funny things.

Over the past several weeks, Sen. John McCain has been occasionally tripping over them in his advocacy for continuing America's presence in Iraq. Most memorably, he repeated - three times - the assertion that Iran was arming al-Qaeda despite the fact that there is no known connection between country and the group, and that the two are clearly of different religions.

On Sunday, McCain made another Iraq-based claim that is highly debatable if not simply false.

As Think Progress was first to point out, appearing on Fox News Sunday, the Arizona Republican stated that the recent flair up of violence in Basra was ended after Shiite cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr declared a ceasefire. This, he said, was proof that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government was gaining the upper hand, both militarily and politically.

Aries represents the inner child; that trusting, innocent soul which lives within each of us. Even in the worst of times, it is important to be aware of the ever-present humor that exists in the darkest moments of our lives. After all, the greatest comedy does arise from the deepest tragedies.

Aries says, “I can!” with a level of faith that only an innocent child who has not yet failed can muster. When you do your New Moon in Aries ritual, your heart and mind must be centered in an open attitude of excitement—“let’s go,” or “I can do anything,” or “I can be anyone,” or “the world is my oyster,” or “life is an adventure!”. This is a New Moon that asks us to take a leap of faith and do the impossible. This a New Moon to come at who you are with a sense of wonder, magic and first-time awe. Go find out who you are and what you want; you might just be surprised.

Rachel nails Yoo!

Barriers set up by the Democrats and Republicans force progressive candidates to jump through ever more complex hoops in California and the rest of the country. Gloria La Riva ran in the February Peace and Freedom primary in California and came in with a virtual tie for second place. The other candidates included environmental and consumer activist Ralph Nader, Brian Moore of the Socialist Party, and progressive former congresswoman Cynthia McKinney.
...
The Party for Socialism and Liberation is also running Nathalie Hrizi, a school teacher and PSL organizer for U.S. Congress in California’s 12th District, which includes the west side of San Francisco and almost all of San Mateo County.

Governor Mitt Romney, a presidential hopeful for 2008, makes jokes about Mormon polygamy. I'm glad he finds it so hilarious, because the last time I looked underage sex with minor girls is called pedophilia. The person committing the act a pedophile. Wife abuse nothing to laugh about. Wonder why the press never pressed that point with the Massachusetts Republican with the Hollywood good looks? Oh, right, they were too busy laughing at the handsome, smooth talking political charmer. Beware of this man, my fellow Democrats. There's danger ahead for us here.

But Mitt Romney isn't John F. Kennedy, and LDS isn't Catholicism. If Mitt thinks it is he's even dumber than his shtick.

As the Boston Globe reported in June of this year, the church got handsome White House hopeful Mitt Romney a deferment from the draft as a Mormon "minister of religion" in the 1960's to conduct his "missionary work" in France, which lasted two and a half years. This is how the Iraq War supporter Romney avoided Vietnam, and all five of his strapping sons later chose the same path in lieu of military service.

Missionary work means recruiting others into the faith, right? Just what are those proselytizing talking points?

The church outlawed polygamy over a century ago, and the federal government before that. Frankly, I couldn't care less what consenting adults do in their personal lives, but Warren Jeffs and his band of happy campers don't exist in a vacuum and were not created in a Petri dish. It seems to me a study of Mormon teachings and philosophy beyond the polygamy issue is a worthwhile endeavor, particularly as we scan the 2008 presidential field.

Senator John McCain Passes The Buck On Polygamy
[...]

McCain twice ducked my requests for comment for articles on polygamy, first in 2000 for the front page of the Weekend Financial Times Seven brides for one brother: Plural marriage is rife in the western United States, and then for a piece that ran March 2005 both in Scoop and CounterPunch, where I noted:

"Arizona is even less responsive on the Babyland issue [unmarked children's graves in the FLDS canyonlands]. John McCain (R - AZ), who is incensed about Iraq POW humiliation, takes campaign contributions in part from Mohave County where the FLDS is headquartered on the Arizona side of the border. McCain failed to comment for my Financial Times October 2000 cover story on polygamy and his assistant press secretary, Crystal Benton, told me last year regarding the Babyland matter that his schedule was "too hectic" for him to make a statement, although she wouldn't want it to be reported that the Senator had "no comment".

Funny the night before Benton told me McCain's schedule was too hectic, he appeared on MSNBC's Hardball promoting his new book (he's a frequent guest). He's also found time to host Saturday Night Live."

Finding any other comment on polygamy from either of the two US senators from Arizona - both Republicans: John McCain and John Kyl - is an exhausting exercise.

Evidence Grows of Drug Use on Detainees
By Jeff Stein, CQ National Security Editor
There can be little doubt now that the government has used drugs on terrorist suspects that are designed to weaken their resistance to interrogation. All that’s missing is the syringes and videotapes.

Another window opened on the practice last week with the declassification of John Yoo’s instantly infamous 2003 memo approving harsh interrogation techniques on terrorism suspects.

Yoo advised top Bush administration officials that interrogators could employ mind-altering drugs if they did not produce “an extreme effect” calculated to “cause a profound disruption of the senses or personality.”

Yoo had first rationalized the use of drugs in a 2002 memo for top Bush administration officials.

But this latest revelation shows Yoo reiterating conditions on the use of drugs a year later, despite the rising resistance to harsh interrogation techniques by military lawyers and the FBI.

“The new Yoo memo, along with other White House legal memoranda, shows clearly that the policy foundation for the use of interrogational drugs was being laid,” says Stephen Miles, a University of Minnesota bioethicist and author of “Oath Betrayed: Torture, Medical Complicity, and the War on Terror.” “The recent memo on mood-altering drugs does not extend previous work on this area,” he said. “The use of these drugs was anticipated and discussed in the memos of January and February 2002 by DoD, DoJ, and White House counsel using the same language and rationale. The executive branch memos laid a comprehensive and reiterated policy foundation for the use of interrogational drugs.”

“Yes, I believe they have been used,” Jeffrey S. Kaye, a clinical psychologist who works with torture victims at Survivors International in San Francisco, told me.

Clinton's tax returns were leaked early to the conservative website The Drudge Report, "who has been extremely hard on Hillary for months — as good proof as any since the time of Machiavelli that it's better to be feared than loved," "according to Politico.

Clinton has also leaked her fundraising numbers first to Drudge in the past.

Matt Drudge came to prominence during the Bill Clinton Administration when he leaked a report Newsweek was holding on Monica Lewinsky's sexual relationship with the president.

The Washington Times reported in 2007 that Drudge and the Web have played important strategic roles in the Clinton campaign.

GOP strategist: Condi Rice 'actively campaigning' to be VP
David Edwards and Chris Tackett

On ABC's This Week, Republican strategist Dan Senor said that Condoleeza Rice has been actively campaigning to be John McCain's pick for Vice President.

Speaking of possible Vice President options for McCain, Senor said, "Condi Rice is an option. Tom Ridge is an option. Although, I think he'd have problems at the convention. Mitt Romney is an option. Condoleeza Rice has been actively campaigning for this. There's this ritual in Washington, The Americans for Tax Reform which is headed by Grover Norquist, holds a weekly meeting of conservative leaders, about 100 or 150 people. Sort of inside chattering class types and they all typically get briefings from political conservative leaders. Ten days ago, they had an interesting visit from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice." Later adding, it was "the first time a Secretary of State has visited the Wednesday meeting. and she wasn't there to talk about the NATO meeting in Bucharest."

George Will, who was also on the panel discussion, said he too thought Rice could be a possible choice. "It is possible," said Will. "In fact, I guess I'm not talking out of school when i say in our green room last week when Senator Lieberman was on he said, well, perhaps Condi and of course Lieberman is very close."

Shepherdstown reaction to group mixed; some members anarchists

By DANIEL FRIEND / Chronicle Staff Writer-April 5, 2008

Shepherdstown’s Old Episcopal Church at 113 N. Church St. — arguably the oldest church in West Virginia — is now home to a group of young tenants calling it the Armed Joy Collective House.

Naming their home of two months after the 1977 anarchist pamphlet “Armed Joy” by Italian activist Alfredo M. Bonanno, the six collective house occupants hope to foster a sense of community and self-sufficiency in Shepherdstown.

Collective house resident Patricia “Trish” Tanksley said the group has been given permission by the town’s Parks & Recreation Committee to plant community garden plots off Mill Street in the area of Cullison Park. The Community Garden Collective is encouraging residents to participate in the organic community garden, Tanksley said.

Some of the members of the collective house are anarchists, Tanksley said, quick to emphasize not everyone who lives there is an anarchist. She herself thinks “anarchy is very beautiful.” The “Armed” in Armed Joy does not refer in any way to guns, she said.

“Rest assured that we are not of the school of thought of violent uprising,” Tanksley said. “Anarchy is very misunderstood as being a destructive system that breaks everything down ... The idea is taking control of your own life. It’s not like we’re going to go out and force people to be joyful.”

DOJ sues fox over indecency fines

Government Sues to Collect Indecency Fines Against Fox

JOHN DUNBAR
AP News

Apr 04, 2008 18:46 EST

In an unusual move, the Justice Department sued Fox Broadcasting Co. and another broadcaster Friday to collect $56,000 in fines for the broadcast of a raunchy reality show in 2003 that included scenes from bachelor and bachelorette parties.

Fox's "Married by America" included the "thrusting of a male stripper's crotch into a woman's face" in one show in addition to other scenes the agency found objectionable, according to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

In October of 2004, the FCC issued a $7,000 fine against 169 Fox-affiliated stations totaling $1.2 million.

The fines were assessed regardless of whether a complaint was lodged against a particular station. Fox challenged the FCC's action and last month the FCC dropped the complaints against all but 13 stations, which were the subject of actual viewer complaints. The move lowered the total fine to $91,000.

Despite the decision, Fox, a division of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., said it would not pay the fines because the FCC's decision in the case was "arbitrary and capricious, inconsistent with precedent and patently unconstitutional."

The company appealed again, but on Friday, the FCC "returned without consideration" its claim, saying it was 14 pages over the limit. The agency said the company did not ask permission to exceed those page limits. Fox dubbed the FCC decision "offensive."

Since the FCC's February action, four stations have paid the fine and another station was dropped because no complaint was filed against it, leaving eight stations and $56,000 in fines. Five of the eight stations are owned by Fox, three are owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group.

The Justice Department brought suit in Washington, D.C., Iowa, West Virginia and Tennessee.

Graham ducks question on GI Bill, pledges only to ’sit down’ and discuss it.
On “This Week” today, host George Stephanopolous asked Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) why neither he nor Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has cosponsored Sen. Jim Webb’s 21st Century GI Bill, which would dramatically enhance educational benefits given to soldiers.

Graham ducked the question, refusing to answer for his and McCain’s notable absence on the issue. Graham would only declare, “Sign me up to sit down with Jim [Webb]” to discuss the legislation. Watch it:

NBC: Secretive DC prayer group has worldwide reachNick Langewis and David Edwards
Published: Saturday April 5, 2008

Print This Email This

Who is Douglas Coe?

"The most important religious leader you've never seen or heard," says NBC's Andrea Mitchell.

Coe, leader of a group called The Fellowship, is a powerful, secretive and well-connected religious leader, widely known among senators across the aisles, and across faiths; but not by the general public. Coe's services have been attended by all three of the major 2008 presidential hopefuls: Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Senator Barack Obama (D-IL).

The Fellowship appears to be as much of a networking opportunity as it is a religious group, says Joshua Green, senior editor of The Atlantic Monthly.

"I think, in part, through her involvement with The Fellowship's prayer group," Green says, "[Senator Hillary Clinton] was able to meet a lot of these conservative Republican senators, get to know them on a one-on-one basis..."

Jeff Sharlet, author of The Family, was disturbed by Coe's teachings after spending time living among his followers.

Sometimes referring to themselves in jest as the "Christian Mafia," Sharlet says, Fellowship members didn't seem to understand why he was concerned that Coe referenced such historical figures as Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Lenin and Chairman Mao in his teachings.

"Hitler's genocide wasn't really an issue for them," says Sharlet. "It was the strength that he emulated."

People close to Clinton say Coe is not Clinton's minister, she does not consider Coe to be a leading spiritual advisor, nor has she contributed to his group or ever been a member.

Coe mostly talks about Jesus, and invokes Hitler only as an example of how small groups can cultivate power for good or bad, said a close friend to NBC. Coe declined to be interviewed for the segment.

The following video report was broadcast on NBC's Nightly News on April 3, 2008.

I support the current movement in Tibet for independence because
