LINK! Democracy Now's Amy Goodman arrested @ RNC!

by smartinez Mon Sep 01, 2008

Freedom of the Press is really in danger folks. I mean really in danger. Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now! has been arrested today while covering the RNC convention and the corresponding protests. A number of senior DN! producers have also been detained. The program - in its 12th year is a go-to resource for those of us who want the news that MSM refuses to cover in depth.
This is how they quell dissent, clampdown on the free flow of information and make an example out of those who dare to speak truth to power. Call who you need to call, make your voices heard.
THIS CANNOT STAND!

John McCain Playing Natural Disaster Politics

  Only a low budget creep such as John McCain and the Republican Party would make plans to hold his acceptance speech in a disaster area, using the suffering residents images for a background photo-op. Should you and I be surprised? Nah!

John McCain was not looking forward to this convention, and when the opportunity came along to do something very different, something that could not be readily compared to the incredibly successful Democratic National Convention, the impulsive McCain leapt at the chance. The McCain campaign already has a name for it: "Gustavication." According to a "GOP operatives" interviewed by The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza:

"As long as we properly handle the Gustavication of the convention, it may be a positive," said one GOP operative. He added that with the exception of speeches by Palin and McCain "everything else is just an opportunity to make a mistake or distract from the historic nature of the ticket."

Another strategist echoed that sentiment. "Now the Republican brand out there is not so bad," he said. "The does-Bush-help-or-hurt question doesn't need to be asked or answered. And we won't be compared to the (Obama speech) 90,000-person spectacle. And most important this gives Palin time to get her feet under her."

You can almost hear the glee in their voices. A million Americans are fleeing and may soon be homeless, and Republicans are rubbing their hands together with glee.    Read More..

  Go for it John and put another nail in your coffin!
