Allen's Staffers Assault a Virginian Citizen Asking Questions

Another Macaca Incident.

These look like the same Allen Staffers who have accompanied Allen on his Tidewater visits. Beware Folks....If you want to ask Allen a question if his staffers don't like the question you may end up assaulted.

George Allen told the press that stuff like this happens.....

This video on YouTube shows the assault...


As far as news in Virginia goes this definitely TRUMPS the Kerry story the media is hyping. So it will be intereting to see if Virginia's "lame stream press" will give this latest incident the coverage it deserves.

Thanks to Not Larry Sabato and Raising Kaine blogs for getting this out.

Sign Wars in Portsmouth, VA

I have lesbian friends who live peacefully in Portsmouth VA. They are both community activists. One of them walks daily in the park and has an organic garden in the front yard that the neighbors rave about.

Their Webb signs were stolen...AND a large 6 foot by 4 foot "swiftboat" vets for George sign was put up NEXT to their house on the city owned Railroad tracks.....They did the right thing...they called the city who got it down within two days.

They called last night upset b/c now the vet sign was back up AND 4 vote yes signs were placed in front of it.

This morning they called. It seems their neighbors got upset at the divisiveness in the neighborhood. The neighbors decided to take it upon themselves to take down the signs, save the city some money, and show their support for their neighbors.
Their neighbors are disgusted with the divisiveness and nastiness of the Allen people. These neighbors have decided they are now voting for Jim Webb.

My friends are feeling much better now. They figured the Allen contingent is stupid enough to keep putting that sign back up...AND more of their neighbors will end up defecting.

They now have two vote no signs in their yard and hope to have replacement Webb signs up tomorrow with another sign that says...they've been stealing our signs!!!

Funny....they didn't advertise this one ot the general public.....

Lynn Cheney wrote a lesbian novel and then

she condems Jim Webb on the Wolf Blitzer show?

I think Cheney is jealous because Webb is a much better writer and he wins awards....

There is a copy of Sisters online in pdf format here But I'll warn you...it's not a great read.

So much for the Corporate Media

I know lots of folks believe the corporate propaganda that the media is liberal.

So why has NBC refused to air paid advertisements of the Dixie Chicks new film "Shut Up and Sing?" According to Variety, "NBC’s commercial clearance department said in writing that it ‘cannot accept these spots as they are disparaging to President Bush.’”

A video of the commercial and more info is available here

I hope NBC gets LOTS of complaints. They are using our PUBLIC AIRWAVES to SUPPRESS FREE SPEECH.

If Folks have had it with negative campaign ads...

Then Allen does not stand a chance to be re-elected. He is currently the KING of Negative Campaign Ads.

But when you don't have a record to run on....It seems all Allen has got is money to run negative campaign ads.

Virginians deserve so much better than Allen. I hope they realize this and make it to the polls on November 7th to vote for Webb.

Cheney says Bush Administration ALLOWS Waterboarding

According to Dick Cheney Waterboarding is not torture....Maybe Cheney, Bush, and Rumsfeld nee to experience waterboarding for themselves?

Great New Dems Ad Exposes Another Bushite LIE

Voting Machines FAVORING Allen

Virginia's electronic voting machines in Alexandria, Falls Church and Charlottesville will not be able to accomodate George Allen's party affiliation. How's that for helping Allen distance himself from his record of beinga a Bush Republican?

Even worse, Allen's opponent's last name will be left off b/c these same voting machines don't have the room to accomodate his opponent's name.

So it will be George F. Allen versus Janes H. "Jim" Dem

How's that for fair elections Virginia style?

Webb and Allen at NAACP Update

I "hear" that Webb was very well received at the NAACP...and there was so much applause and cheering during his speech that they had to ask the audience to stop so Webb could finish his speech.

I also "hear" that the local press got it wrong. Webb is now a lifelong member of the NAACP...LOL...George Allen took out the "thirty dollar" member for one year. Allen is such a cretin!!

Anyway....the Allen camp is having a difficult time finding legal places to put their signs and they are going up in illegal public areas.

So report them as you see them people....Allen should not get away with all the rule breaking he likes to do. I guess he's practicing to be Bush's heir????

Maybe we should stop having elections?

If you listen to the Republican spin you might start to think that elections are a bad idea.....It was just so convenient that the Foley sexual predator scandal came out "right before an election"....and now those damn "insurgents" are increasing their attacks b/c of the US elections.

Well, Mr. Bush...The New York Times HELD BACK the wiretapping story (while you campaigned and told the American people that no such program existed) when you were running for re-election...they held it for an entire year. I guess you prefer the media to listen to your commands...

Now you have the military making this political spin with no proof whatsoever. It's more feasible that the insurgency is "surging" because it's the month of Ramadan and the attacks typically increase during this time period. Combine that with the fact that you recently fired two of their top leaders who were top commanders in the police force, along with arresting a top leader on Tuesday.....and you have stirred up a hornet's nest.

Now you are using the military to put out Republican spin and distort our political process evidenced by the daily press briefing by Major General Caldwell yesterday.

Precise quotes are difficult because CNN broke in with a special report on Caldwell's daily briefing. They QUICKLY cut away after the Major General uttered two sentences to cover some dribble (It may have been the sting ray that jumped into the boat and attacking an elderly man)......But here's the gist of what Caldwell said.

Caldwell stated that the stepped-up insurgent violence may be part of an effort to influence the American elections....so far so good Caldwell is following the Republican line.Previously, Caldwell consistently blamed the increased attacks on Ramadan...but "today" he started using the Republican "spin." I doubt that was an accident and probably one reason why CNN was featuring this as a "special report" and broke into their progarmming with the briefing.

I have a feeling CNN cut away from the briefing because of what he started to say after this. Caldwell went on to say that the Baghdad situation is "deteriorating" (attacks increased by 22 percent). Caldwell said that the "Forward Together" plan is not working and needs to be reassessed. Despite increased US troops and joint US/Iraq operations.

The US Military should not be used to sway political elections....The military should not just state a Republican talking point with no evidence to back it up. This is the Pentagon INTERFERING with the American election process.

According to Will Bunch, "What General Caldwell said amounts to political slander. Democrats and others who care about the political process here at home should comdemn it quickly, because slander has a way of spreading....The Congressional Iraq Study Group says that civil war is weeks away, even though it looks like it's here already. Why isn't CNN reporting this story by the Reuters news agency, that Sunnis in parts of Iraq are already declaring an independent state..."

Shame on George Bush, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and the Republican party for using the Pentagon to help them spin and try to win an election.

Breaking news Iraq

CNN had a "short" newscast from Baghdad with Caldwell making a statement that the situation in Iraq is worsening and that we are going to have to re-think what we are doing....the network then cut to a fountain of youth report and nothing more is being said about Caldwell's press announcement (of which was not broadcast in its entirety.)

It sounds like the civil war in Iraq is worsening. Hopefully, Al Jazeera will be able to cover this soon....

Riverbend Lives! Baghdad Burning is Back!!

I just visited Baghdad Burning and River is up and running again.

If only the Corporate Media would publish River's words about Iraq to add some much meeded perspective to balance out the Bush and Corporate Propaganda that floods America's media.

Thank Heavens for the internet. This post is a must read. Read it here

We can publicly finance our elections.

The United States is going to spend 42 million to "influence" the Palestinian election.

If the United States would stop meddling in the free elections of other countries and allow the citizens in those country the right of self-determination without outside interference....we could divert all of that money used worldwide to finance our own elections. (That 42 million is a drop in the bucket compared to what they are allegedly spending in South America to influence elections in Brazil, Venezuela and Nicaragua) This would include the money that is spent to spread "propaganda journalism" around the world; propaganda that finds its way back to the USA to distort the viewpoints of US citizens.

Besides the goodwill this will foster...no one wants another country interfering with their election process...except, perhaps, for the small 1% "elite" minority at the top.


with public financing other countries (for example China and Israel) would no longer be able to "influence" US elections. There will no longer be justification for our elected representatives to take money or gifts for anyone.

Oh my gosh, this could be the end of the corporations controlling the American government.

It seems like a win win situation to me.

Rape charge recommended for Israeli president

It's good to remember that in some countries the president is not above the law.

It's "refreshing" to know that law enforcement still works well in other parts of the world. Israeli police are recommending that the Israel President be charged with rape and other crimes.

Now Israel's Attorney General has to decide whether to take the President to trial. Hopefully their Attorney General is nothing like ours and a trial will occur.

With any luch...this will provide an example to our own law enforcement agencies.

Riverbend still MIA

The United Nations Refugee Agency estimates that 365,000 Iraqi's leave Iraq each year. Source

It's been 10 weeks and one day since Riverbend last blogged. I hope she's busy relocating in a safer place and is not one of the 650,000 Iraqi civilian causalties. She has given all of us, worldwide, an un-embedded view of reality in Iraq.

I trust Riverbend's version not not the "Bushworld" delusion. I am checking her blog daily and hope to see another post soon.

Baker will recommend Jim Webb's plan in Iraq

That's my prediction.

The commission led by James Baker and backed by President Bush will not "officially" announce it's recommendations until AFTER the election. Allegedly, they don't want their conclusions to affect Bush's presidency. However, the LA times reports that they are NOT recommending "stay the course."

The options they recommend sound like they came from our very own Jim Webb. Wow.,..soon George Bush is going to be pushing Webb's options....I guess everyone knows better than to plagiarize George Allen's work. Never pick anyone dumber than you to copy from.

Wouldn't it be best if we had Webb in the Senate rather than that rubber stamp George Allen? That rubber stamp that gets so much funding from the lobbyists for the elite special interests?

Anyone taking bets on Rove's October surprise?

From my internet surfing the October surprise I'm hearing the most talked about is this....

The USA will do whatever it takes to make Iran attack one of it's vessels or stage such an attack....Then this will be used as the "excuse" to bomb Iran....

So...If the US bombs Iran is this going to affect your vote? I would hope that IF you aee one of those minority folks voting Republican this year you would immediately change your vote for the opposition if they bomb Iran.....but who can figure what Americans will do these days with all the corporate propaganda filling the airways....I continue to be astounded that Americans have repeatedly voted against their own self interests....what with the rich getting richer and the middle class having to struggle more and more just to stay afloat.....

Bush and Rove are said to be very upbeat and confident that their October Surprise is going to do the trick and allow them to maintain their control of power.....

But others believe that we are all in for a surprise on November 7th...when the elections are "fixed" once again.

Neither scenarios is promissing.

November 7th is going to be interesting.

How long have Republicans hidden Foleygate?

It appears that Foleygate started in the Republican party long before Foley. Remember Lawrence King? He was an African American and a top Republican. He's now serving time for financial fraud. It appears he should be serving more time for allegedly running a child prostitution ring. It catered to such powerful people that it is alleged the FBI was used to cover up the evidence. According to this website:

A True Story About Sex, Child Abuse, Murder and Drugs, Covered up By Authorities

“Conspiracy of Silence”, a documentary listed for viewing in TV Guide Magazine was to be aired on the Discovery Channel, on May 3, 1994. This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies. Many children suffered the indignity of wearing nothing but their underwear and a number displayed on a piece of cardboard hanging from their necks when being auctioned off to foreigners in Las Vegas, Nevada and Toronto, Canada. At the last minute before airing, unknown congressmen threatened the TV Cable industry with restrictive legislation if this documentary was aired. Almost immediately, the rights to the documentary were purchased by unknown persons who had ordered all copies destroyed. A copy of this videotape was furnished anonymously to former Nebraska state senator and attorney John De Camp who made it available to retired F.B.I. chief, Ted L. Gunderson. While the video quality is not top grade, this tape is a blockbuster in what is revealed by the participants involved.

The Conspiracy of Silence documentary is available online at google. Click here

This video should be seen by EVERYONE in America. Then think of Foleygate....then go vote them OUT!!

George Allen is either a liar and/or not very bright!

My bet is on both....but this sure shows what a bad liar George is.

This man should not be a Senator in any country for any citizen, IMO....
