These posts were supposed to be in response to WHY the media is not reporting on the ACTUAL scandals of the Bush Administration. I am glad you supported Gore and I am certainly not intending to attack you personally. In fact personal attacks are better left to the hypocrites on the right. Yes, there are some brave reporters out there who are FINALLY reporting on these issues, (Obermann comes to mind first), but they are being attacked by the right wing propaganda machine. Not only with verbal B.S., but also with fake anthrax. My point is that until there is massive outrage that the media can no longer ignore we will be stuck in the same status quo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-1165796627550895172006-12-10T18:23:00.000-06:002006-12-10T18:23:00.000-06:00John N Missouri,Why do you think Gore was 15% behi...John N Missouri,<BR/><BR/>Why do you think Gore was 15% behind Bush in early 1999?<BR/>If not because of Clinton fatigue then what?<BR/>Gore's job approval was 62%.<BR/>Most thought the country was on the right track. <BR/>And still when asked wbo they want to see as the next president 56% chose Bush and only 41% chose Gore. <BR/>Why, if not because of the scandals?<BR/><BR/>Why was Clinton himself losing to Bush in the polls?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-1165796169843877162006-12-10T18:16:00.000-06:002006-12-10T18:16:00.000-06:00John N Missouri ,I didn't talk about why there was...John N Missouri ,<BR/><BR/>I didn't talk about why there was a Clinton scandal.<BR/><BR/>But that the Clinton scandal was the main reason why Gore was 15% behind Bush in early 1999, why he was the underdog despite his high job rating and the CW that the country was on the right track.<BR/><BR/>Why did 56% of voters choose Bush in 1999? <BR/>Why was Clinton himself losing to Bush in the polls?<BR/>Certainly not because the economy was bad.

Nobody at Fox news received the deadly spores and NO Republican received them either. (even though, oddly enough, administration officials were already taking Cipro prior to the first case) Was this to silence them? Was this a warning? I also found it curious that the very first case was in Florida at the building where the National Enquirer and other tabloids are published. Who cares about tabloids? They are definitely not part of the Liberal media. Or are they? Even more curious is the fact that those tabloids are far removed from politics. HOWEVER, they were printing about the scandals of the Bush twins and ran a story on Prescot Bush's financing of the Nazis. It seems to me these are obvious signs it was a right wing hit job meant to silence critics of the administration. The corporate media DOES have financial reasons for spewing right wing propaganda, but there are still REAL journalists around who want to report and investigate the truth. The question is - Are they fearful of doing so?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-1165794934586035732006-12-10T17:55:00.000-06:002006-12-10T17:55:00.000-06:00To the anonymous right wingers who have posted sin...To the anonymous right wingers who have posted since my comment... The Clinton "scandals" were the product of right wing fantasies. The scandels of the Bush Administration are no fantasy! My littlest brother is currently serving in Iraq and rather than blame Clinton for where we are now I suggest you walk away from your computer right now and enlist. Yes, the country did have scandal fatigue only because they were bombarded with fake scandels of little importance that were harped on daily by corporate media whores.

The American fascists have capitalized on 9/11 the way the Germans did with the Reichstag fire in Germany in the 1930s. After 9/11 everything about our democracy did change. In fact it has been used to destroy the democratic process, civil liberties, and to stage wars of imperalism instead of justice. Justice, (or even revenge), is what the American people were conned into believing they would get. If someone on your block killed several people you would hope the authorities would capture and punish them, not invade and destroy everything on the next block over. Last I checked Osama has still not been captured "dead or alive." For the American people, (to hell with a complacent and fearful press), not to be demanding, if not rioting in the streets, for this administration to be investigated and punished is why we are where we are right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-1165777243180371212006-12-10T13:00:00.000-06:002006-12-10T13:00:00.000-06:00"You are wrong"The length of your comment with all..."You are wrong"<BR/><BR/>The length of your comment with all its citations completely distorts the facts.<BR/><BR/>The majority of voters DID elect Gore in 2000.
