This story is begging for some Dem spin.
I'm not so sure. Isn't that guy being railroaded because he's a public figure and an easy target? His access to the White House tends to show he's harmless and is now being arrested because the Feds can't catch anyone else.
I'm guessing that's what Steve meant (that the guy is being railroaded, and this should be called out by the dems.) But seeing as they can't even confront Bush on the issue of starting a very questionable war, I doubt they'll make a peep on this one.
Do the democrats really think that any pro war democrat can win against a pro war republican? That makes absolutely no sense. If you want the US to use it's military to kick some ass then you are going to want the republicans in charge, not some whimpy democrat. Why won't the dems play to their freakin' base? I mean while they still have one.
2004 is going to be a 2000 repeat. I'll have to vote for Dean (or Sharpton?!?!) because I'd like to see less war instead of more. But this will just split the left vote a la Nader and we'll get 4 more years of Bush. This is insane. It's like the GOP is secretly in control of the DNC.
Just venting. Nothing to see here...
Just some Sunday am fluff. but that is what I meant Jim, also meant to imply doubts of a Dem peep.
It's gotten so bad the only thing I could think you meant was that the Dems would try to twit the White House for abetting terrorism, the way that article seems to be doing. (Sorry.) It's inconceivable at this point that those men and women of rubber would speak out in defense of a Palestinian, any Palestinian (isn't Palestine in Iraq?). I had been following that guy's troubles with his school and was saddened to see that it came to an actual arrest, and the media as usual acting as if it's the first time they've heard of him.
Case in point: this silly "Explainer" in Slate, discussing the ins and outs of tenure in the modern academy as they relate to this case. The writer seems to assume the arrest is valid--or in any event has no interest in the right or wrong of the case.
