- Take the time out today to listen to Olbermann's commentary on Rumsfeld. Well worth the 5 minutes of your time and an excellent reality check on what America is really about. Out with the Maher's of the world; in with Olbermanns, Colberts and Stewarts.
By the way, a group of people and a religion cannot be 'fascist'. To be fascist requires a government structure and state authority so this whole attempt to smear Islam as Islamfascist...is pure propaganda. Also, the US hit all 14 points of Fascism in January 2004 with the passage of CAPPS II and The Trusted Traveler program. What Bush and company are doing is accusing those they do not like of exactly what they are doing. Should sound familiar. This is the same tactic Israel uses as well.

- From the page: "the words of the exemplary journalist Edward R. Murrow.
But never in the trial of a thousand years of writing could I come close to matching how he phrased a warning to an earlier generation of us, at a time when other politicians thought they (and they alone) knew everything, and branded those who disagreed: %u201Cconfused%u201D or %u201Cimmoral.%u201D
Thus, forgive me, for reading Murrow, in full:
%u201CWe must not confuse dissent with disloyalty,%u201D he said, in 1954. %u201CWe must remember always that accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law.
%u201CWe will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men, not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were for the moment unpopular.%u201D"
not the greatest of commentary, but a good quote from murrow
