THE HYENAS AT FOX ARE AT IT AGAIN... or
Well the hyenas at Fox News
are at it again... Still going after Clinton. I know this is the same old strategy of the Rovetalkers on the right to GET CLINTON OUT THERE IN PUBLIC DISPLAY, SO THEY CAN DESTROY HIM OVER AND OVER AND WATCH HIM BLEED... which will take the heat off
of Bush and his ill-gotten war in Iraq. This fun game of theirs, worked before why shouldn't it work now.
I know, that was what the neocon-movie "Path to 911" WAS ALL ABOUT... PUT THE BLAME ON CLINTON, make the very PERSUADABLES, (those who watch our shows, reverently and frighten ever so easily) believe this past president is/was responsible for all of America's woes. Then we, (the hyenas) will win again in November.
Well a note to you carnivorous mammals, who feed as scavengers and have powerful jaws at the Fox studio,l it may not work this time. Oh yes, you still have 911 as a weapon to scare the BEJESUS out of your flock but some of your sheep have opened their eyes and can see the reality of what you are up to! (AT LEAST I HOPE TO GOD, THEY CAN FINALLY SEE) thinkingblue
PS: One more thought to those who still believe, the republicans are the only ones who can protect America... Please tell me what it is going to take for you to come to your senses and see the harm the neo-con republicans are doing to us as a people? Will it take a STOCK MARKET CRASH or an utterly devastating
DEPRESSION or maybe, a REALLY BIG WAR? As what did happened when FDR had to rescue our capitalism and our constitution from becoming HISTORY? I guess, we will have to wait and see and that is so very sad.

A good read: Jonathan Alter's book, "THE DEFINING MOMENT"
Description: In "The Defining Moment," Jonathan Alter explores how President
Franklin Roosevelt, during the first one hindered days in office,
laid the foundation for national recovery after the Great
Depression. The author also details the 1932 presidential
election. This event was part of the 2006 Chicago Tribune Printers Row Book Fair.
“As the generation that endured the Great Depression passes on, it is essential to be reminded what this nation faced as FDR assumed office in 1933. At a minimum, a quarter of the workforce was unemployed. The threat of mass violence loomed as secure families saw their life savings wiped out. In both the U.S and abroad, liberal democracies were under siege from fascism on the Right and communism on the Left. Alter, a columnist and senior editor atNewsweek, eloquently captures the fevered, frightened state of the nation in 1933. In a brief biographical sketch of Roosevelt's life, Alter strongly emphasizes aspects that gave him a powerful will and supreme self-confidence. Alter recounts the flurry of the first 100 days of FDR's administration, which forever altered the relationship between American citizens and the federal government. This superbly researched and well-written work serves as a vital reminder of the importance of leadership during this great national ordeal.”

From Publishers Weekly
Newsweek senior editor Alter attempts to explore FDR's
famous first "hundred days" in office, when the president laid the
foundation for national recovery from the Great Depression.
Eventually, Alter succeeds in providing a brief consideration of
those key months. But exposition dominates: the early chapters
recite Roosevelt's biography up until his White House candidacy
(the well-known tale of privilege, marriage, adultery and polio).
Then Alter chronicles the 1932 election and explores the
postelection transition. Only about 130 pages deal with the 100
days commencing March [4], 1933, that the title calls FDR's
"defining moment." Alter attaches much weight to a few throwaway
phrases in a thrown-away draft of an early presidential speech—one
that could, through a particular set of glasses, appear to show
FDR giving serious consideration to adopting martial law in
response to the monetary crisis. Despite this, Alter goes on to
document FDR's early programs, pronouncements and maneuvers with
succinct accuracy. The book, however, contains misstatements of
historical detail (Alter suggests, for instance, that it was
Theodore Roosevelt, rather than Ted Jr., who served as a founder
of the American Legion). (May)

War on Terror
In the War on Terrorism President Bush has used these
war powers to justify several controversial acts,
e.g. NSA electronic surveillance program. The administration has
used a legal theory known as the unitary executive theory, to explain that in his duty as Commander-in-Chief the President, with his inherent powers, cannot be bound by law or Congress. In the
NSA warrantless surveillance controversy this was used to
suggest he was not required to abide by FISA.

NEW YORK - In a combative interview on "Fox News Sunday,"
former President Clinton defended his handling of the threat posed
by Osama bin Laden, saying he tried to have bin Laden killed and
was attacked for his efforts by the same people who now criticize
him for not doing enough. "That's the difference in me and some, including all of the
right-wingers who are attacking me now," Clinton said in the
interview. "They ridiculed me for trying. They had eight months to
try, they did not try." ...
He told Wallace, "And you got that little smirk on your face and
you think you're so clever, but I had responsibility for trying to
protect this country. I tried and I failed to get bin Laden. I
regret it, but I did try and I did everything I thought I
responsibly could."
The interview was taped Friday during Clinton's three-day Global
Initiative conference.
On NBC's "Meet the Press," also taped Friday and aired Sunday,
Clinton told interviewer Tim Russert that the biggest problem
confronting the world today is "the illusion that our differences
matter more than our common humanity."
"That's what's driving the terrorism," he said. "It's not just
that there's an unresolved Arab-Israeli conflict. Osama Bin Laden
and Dr. al-Zawahiri can convince young Sunni Arab men, who have —
and some women — who have despairing conditions in their lives,
that they get a one-way ticket to heaven in a hurry if they kill a
lot of innocent people who don't share their reality." READ MORE HERE

Anyone who reads this site knows of Cindy Sheehan, who became the face of US anti-war protest after the 2004 death of her son, a soldier in Iraq.
Love her or hate her, Cindy unabashedly tells it like it is. No holds barred honesty. That's her impassioned genius as a reformer, leader and anti-war activist. And that's why she upsets and scares so many. She holds back nothing.
I just finished reading an advance copy of Cindy Sheehan's controversial first book, Peace Mom: A Mother's Journey Through Heartache to Activism, and I like and recommend it.
Briefly, Peace Mom is Cindy's heartfelt story of her conversion from "apathetic, ignorant, materialistic and TV-logged" wife and mother of four before Casey's death to internationally-feted anti-war activist and probable 2006 Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
Have no doubts...
Peace Mom will be controversial and much-maligned, loudly decried by rightwingers and some centrist Democrats. What I found particularly intriguing are Cindy's pull-no-punches accounts of personal meetings with President Bush and Senators John McCain, Hillary Rodham Clinton and many others. You can read my full review at Book Review: Peace Mom: A Mother's Journey Through Heartache to Activism by Cindy Sheehan. For your convenience, I've included price-comparison shopping links, so you can order your copy now. Peace Mom will be formally released on September 18. - Deborah White
