Muslim-Bashing and the Power of Cartoons William Hughes 2006-02-04 11:35 PM

Back in the late 19th century, the political cartoonist, Thomas Nast, in NYC’s “Harper’s Weekly,” viciously attacked Catholics, the Irish and the Vatican. He crossed the line with those caricatures. The same can be said about the Danish authors of the 12 cartoons vilifying the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), the revered founder of Islam. The demonizing was, in effect, an attack on all of the Muslim faithful. The parties responsible should offer an apology. (image/jpeg)

The 9/11 Key to Political Transformation W. David Kubiak 2006-02-03 12:15 AM

-- A belated strategic initiative to turn the world around Given the momentum and added troop strength of the corporate forces now in power, citizens will face unending appeals this year to help combat firestorms on many different fronts. Already we are struggling to prioritize our efforts to stop war atrocities, torturers' appointments, escalating Pentagon appropriations, horrific new weapons, the resurrection of Star Wars, and the imminent draft, not to mention environmental assaults, our ballooning debt, attacks on our rights, the slashing of the social safety net, and a dozen other centrifugal symptoms of the sickness at the top.

Cindy Sheehan: “Bush’s Presidency Is Illegitimate!” William Hughes 2006-01-31 12:04 PM

Cindy Sheehan is back in Washington, D.C. She appeared at a Forum, on Jan. 30, 2006, proposing the impeachment of both President George W. Bush and his vice-president-in-mayhem, Dick Cheney.

Bush says spying legal, Legal Scholars say he’s lying again ben frank 2006-01-13 12:16 PM

Just because Bush says his domestic spying program is legal and justified does not make it so. While the Constitutional scholars didn’t say, “he’s lying”, they did say that his program is “blatantly unlawful” - which is basically calling him a liar, diplomatically. ... that Mr. Bush’s warrantless domestic wiretapping program is legal, as contended by his lawyers - <b>simply cannot be taken seriously.</b> (image/png)

Abramoffgate: It’s the Same Sleaze, Just Bigger! william Hughes 2006-01-07 11:43 PM

Jack Abramoff may be the sleaziest influence peddler to hit the halls of power in Congress - ever. As many as 20 Congressmen may be caught up in the crimes of this confessed master briber. Yet, there is nothing really new about corruption scandals on Capitol Hill. The biggest obscenity is this: Brave U.S. soldiers are dying in Iraq in a war sanctioned by the “most corrupt Congress in history,” and started by a wacky President - George W. Bush. (image/jpeg)

Lower 9th Ward Citizens Fight Demolition in New Orleans Randeep Walia 2006-01-02 11:25 PM

The city of New Orleans is attempting to destroy the homes of residents in the Lower 9th Ward. This is in spite of a temporary moratorium won by social justice groups against the city which blocks attempts to bulldoze the homes of Lower 9th Ward residents. The moratorium, which ends on January 6th, 2006, is being circumvented by the city through the unconstitutional use of eminent domain. Local residents are working alongside Common Ground Collective, a grass-roots organization working for the rights of displaced and neglected victims of Hurricane Katrina, and are protesting the action and calling on citizens everywhere to get involved.

Katrina Refugees Road Trip to DC to oust these Lying Criminal SOBs Jerry 2005-12-31 4:26 PM

Katrina Survivors can get $50 tickets to travel to DC Feb 8th and 9th. Hopefully some will stay "as long as it takes". Some are calling for a protest at the State of the Union, not after. Better to surround the building when Bush and Congress are all in it together. (image/jpeg)
