Plain-spoken Lies
BUSH GUTS THE FACTS AGAIN – WILL THE MEDIA LET HIM? by Matt Miller
So what was Bush’s attack about? There are two ways to look at it: as a measure of how dumb the White House thinks we are and as a measure of how anxious the White House is a full eight months before November. …
This is not about facts. It is about planting seeds of mistrust [of Kerry]. Which brings us to Bush’s flip-flop strategy. …
Is this rubbish supposed to be the way to lead a nation in a time of ”war”? This from the man who always boasts that he’s ”plainspoken”? …
Speak Freely
Quarantining dissent / How the Secret Service protects Bush from free speech
When President Bush travels around the United States, the Secret Service visits the location ahead of time and orders local police to set up ”free speech zones” or ”protest zones,” where people opposed to Bush policies (and sometimes sign-carrying supporters) are quarantined. These zones routinely succeed in keeping protesters out of presidential sight and outside the view of media covering the event.
Bush talks about preserving freedom while he moves to reduce ours. mjh
Though you didn’t see it on the news and read almost nothing about it in print, there were protesters in Roswell confronting George Bush. We were there.
Support the Troops, Impeach Bush!
Military Families Speak Out is an organization of people who are opposed to war in Iraq and who have relatives or loved ones in the military. We were formed in November of 2002 and have contacts with military families throughout the United States, and in other countries around the world.
As people with family members and loved ones in the military, we have both a special need and a unique role to play in speaking out against war in Iraq. It is our loved ones who are, or have been, or will be on the battlefront. It is our loved ones who are risking injury and death. It is our loved ones who are returning scarred from their experiences. It is our loved ones who will have to live with the injuries and deaths among innocent Iraqi civilians.
If you have family members or loved ones in the military and you are opposed to this war, join us. Send us an e-mail at mfso@mfso.org.

It is despicable that someone defaced posters advertising a
speech by the Radical Right’s Ann Coulter, who lauds Joe McCarthy, American Fascist, as a hero. We should all speak out against the
childish vandalizing of these posters. In fact, the Democratic Party should pay Coulter to speak — she scares the hell out of some
conservatives, too.
However, we should all also speak out against lying in order to infiltrate, spy on and denounce your classmates,
as a young Republican did on campus after this incident (and as police everywhere do today, with John Ashcroft’s blessing). This kid
will go far in the Bush administration.
As to the Republican students’ ”study” indicating there are few Republicans on the
faculty, let’s put aside their spying and efforts at intimidation and bullying and ask, if this is true, why? Maybe being a teacher
isn’t the best route to riches, fame or power? Maybe being a teacher requires real compassion, not pretend. Maybe a campus is not the
best place to be if you need everyone to agree with you and ask no questions, or if you’re just ”incurious”. Better the White
House. mjh
