The Politics of Obliteration
By DAVE LINDORFF
Tough guy Hillary Clinton, on the morning of a critical primary vote in Pennsylvania, uttered a monstrous threat, saying on ABC’s "Good Morning America program today that if Iran were to launch a nuclear attack on Israel while she was president, "we would be able to totally obliterate them."
Think about that a moment!
A country that we view as a theocracy, run dictatorially by a bunch of self-appointed religious fanatics, whose rule is (...)

By DAVE LINDORFF
Time for a discussion on … not race, but racism.
One of the clear observations that can be made about the ugly Democratic presidential primary just held in Pennsylvania is that it was marred by racism.
The winning candidate, Hillary Clinton, who bested Barack Obama by just over 9 percent of the vote after a six-week campaign, made a determined effort to court the white, working (...) -

It’s been in the news recently that Barack Obama has accepted and trumpeted an endorsement by former U.S. Senator David Boren, currently president of the University of Oklahoma. He has also appointed Boren to be an "advisor" to his campaign on matters of national security.
With the endorsement from Boren, Obama deserves to lose all credibility with his claim to be "progressive." Here are a few facts about (...) -

Democratic presidential Hillary Clinton has threatened to “obliterate” Iran if it launches a nuclear attack against Israel as she fights for her own political survival.
“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran,” Senator Clinton told ABC News, asked what she would do as president were Iran to launch a nuclear attack on Israel.” In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on (...) -
Obama Gets McCabed - the latest in political character assassination
18 April 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
Samuel Johnson
If Nash McCabe, a previously obscure Latrobe, PA resident who asked Obama via a taped question during Wed.’s Presidential debate what he thought about the flag, and, moreover, why he doesn’t wear a flag pin in his lapel, represents rural America then, yes, Obama was dreadfully wrong about bitter rural Americans clinging to their guns and religion. Apparently, if McCabe’s representative of rural America, they first and (...) -

For almost five years I have served as Legal Editor of Pravda.Ru. During this time I have been praised and criticized for my work. And I’ve appreciated them both. When someone praises my work, I know there is at least one kindred spirit out there in cyberspace, so I don’t feel so alone. When someone criticizes my work, I know they at least took the time to read what I wrote.
But now it is time to expand my horizons. I am no longer content to sit behind a (...) -

The world’s largest prison—Gaza prison with 1.5 million inmates, many of them starving, sick and penniless—is receiving more sympathy and protest by Israeli citizens, of widely impressive backgrounds, than is reported in the U.S. press.
In contrast, the humanitarian crisis brought about by Israeli government blockades that prevent food, medicine, fuel and other necessities from coming into this tiny enclave through international relief organizations is received with (...) -

Worth the Sacrifice?
By Ralph NADER
On the occasion of the fifth anniversary of Bush’s illegal war of aggression in Iraq, the Fabricator-in-Chief made a speech at the Pentagon, whose muzzled army chiefs had opposed his costly, ruinous adventure from the start for strategic, tactical and logistical reasons.
As benefits the dictatorial monarch of yesteryear, evicted by America’s first patriots, this modern-day King George blistered (...) -
In any age, a prophet draws wrath
30 March 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
"The Almighty God himself is not the only, not the, not the God just standing out saying through Hosea, ’I love you, Israel.’ He’s also the God that stands up before the nations and said: ’Be still and know that I’m God, that if you don’t obey me I will break the backbone of your power, and slap you out of the orbits of your international and national relationships.’"
Those words sound like something by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ, Sen. Barack (...)
