Dean Self Annihilates


Remember '04, when Howard Dean fought

against a process STOLEN FROM THE VOTERS IN 2000?


And he passionately spoke to restore power to the
voters?

And how happy we were to see the great Howard
Dean running DNC?

And he stepped in, and

. Two states got a hatchet job;

.  Caucus goers were intimidated.  There were rampant
reports of voter fraud;

. the prominent democratic youth blogs were hijacked, so that young
people were only exposed to hate rhetoric against one of the two candidates,
and praise only for the DNC candidate??

. Delegates and Superdelegates were intimidated and bribed;

.  The VOTERS ELECTED one candidate, but the DNC over-rode their choice,
    and APPOINTED THEIR OWN NOMINEE;

In essence, under Howard Dean, this election was STOLEN FROM THE VOTERS.

Everything that Dean fought for in '04, he fought against in '08.

This time, Howard Dean did not lose.
American democracy did.

NYT Hits Bottom in Journalism


Not too many years ago, you could quote from the NYT and not come off looking like a complete fool.    Propaganda editorials under the guise of "news" was a trait of lesser papers like the LA Times.   NYT was an oasis of straight-forward reporting sans BS.  
The number of spam and hit pieces in the political section these past few months has been troubling.  Forget ethics.  The end now justifies the means 

Adam Nagourney's front page article today is a troubling reminder on how far this progressive paper has sunk.
Yesterday, Clinton won another in a string of victories. SD was especially profound because it showed that Obama, once the glorious golden boy, is quickly losing favor with voters.
In an effort to overshadow and undercut this key Clinton victory, the DNC pressured delegates to rush out their decisions 
Right wing controlled cable news like CNN, also did its best to hurt Clinton at the polls by announcing early that she had "conceded."  They then corrected this, but continued their efforts to dissuade voters by saying that she wanted to be Obama's VP. 
Here is a section from NYT "reporter" Nagourney's clueless, and offensive front page piece.
"Like her husband, Mrs. Clinton has a way of becoming the center of attention even when the spotlight is supposed to be trained elsewhere . . ." 
Interesting comment on a candidate who won all of our key democratic states, and has the popular vote. 
After the hijacking of DNC, an intimidation job on super delegates and a hatchet job on Florida and Michigan, the NYT is celebrating.
