The reason I brought up international examples was because if you used this model in Nazi Germany, the pop opinion would be the nearly absolute right, allowing for no fringe activity in that direction, and a strange grouping in the supposed 2.5% on the left Actually, Nazi Germany (rather just prior to i
press, he was working for USA Today amongst others. Really? USA Today hired him to cover the Republican Convention NOT the Dems. Did you see him in the press box at the DNC convention? Or the Presidential box? I can substantiate that he was invited. Can you subtantiate he was there as press? I do
I don't know of any mainstream democrats that embraced michael moore. Then why was he invited to the DNC convention and given a seat next to Jimmy Carter? Seems to me the mainstream party would be required to approve the invite, if there was majority dissention he wouldn't have been there.
Somehow my post showed up 3 times . Please delete two of them.
D.B. I'm not sure why you classify Kerry as the 2.5% left fringe. I assume you are referring to a voting record, rather than a policy platform, but again I'm not clear. Exactly, my placement was based solely on voting record (BTW it's T B <img src="../images/smiles/bigsmile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddl

Yes obviously you did. As I said. Much media attention (at least in Australia) has focussed on Moore's ability to mix humour with a documentary style that contains a lot of editorial. I'm afraid you're the one missing it. It's NOT a documentary style . It was represented as a documentary, this is
The problem with the American right is they judge the President by his words, not his actions Mighty presumptuous. Reagan got the Saudis to lower the price of oil in orde
db: so your take is bush's take? kerry's plan is worse than bush's plan? bush just wants to privatise, right? I'm guessing this was to me? My biggest objection to the Kerry plan was the increase in Medicaid (an entitlement program) of about 70% (adding an additional 21 million to Medicaid, aro
Actually, 97% of those who now have health insurance would keep the coverage they have under Kerry's plan I certainly don't need factcheck to tell me what I already know, or interpret for me what I researched for myself. As a matter of fact I wrote them regarding their MISLEADING analysis on the Kerry p
Certainly there are a lot of issues out there to debate, but I wish the two damned parties would get it together to correct this horrendous mistake. There are a half dozen or more bills already proposed to fix the NCLB (they were introduced prior to the election) so something is being done. If I was bet
We heard nothing of his plans for a 2nd term except the platitudes of "staying the course", "prosperity is just around the corner", "don't change horse in midstream" and "you know where I stand". One thing Bush doesn't do well is articulate policy, however, there was PLENTY of pretty detailed offerings
And every thinker should be aware where each ideology leads Agreed, actually I am thankful for respectful reasoned opposition to the "right", it is what keeps the pendulum from swinging too far. <TD cl
MM offends you (me too, as I've said) into a conservative stance, but I'm supposed to view David Duke as an abnormality? Absolutley!! David Duke was not legitimized by the party whereas MM was, at least what I saw, embraced.
For conservatives, I'm asking at what point you felt the liberal perspective shifted from simply partisan to obnoxious? First off, I'm more conservative than not, though I break with the "conservatives" on some issues. I was NOT in GW's camp firmly in March, but by the middle of August I was trending m
better probate lawyers? How did we ever get the money to afford those lawyers if we are ignorant hicks? Actually, probate (I hope this isn't too far off
Taxpayers for Common Sense (TCS) named HRC a "Senate Treasury Guardian" in 2003 for having a voting score in the top 10% of the Senate. The TCS is "dedicated to cutting wasteful government spending and subsidies in order to achieve a responsible and efficient government that lives within its means," and ranks Senators accordingly
Emancipate the Kurdish People of Northern Iraq declare the Northern territory a free republic, and set up a democratic government there And do what when the Turks invade? Did you pay attention during the debate prior to the Iraqi deployment?
This destroys the full potential offered by JU and is a near abuse of the free service provided. I tend to agree (just delete the word near). It's pretty clear that those with locked threads don't want debate, or their beliefs challenged. IF they want to live in their own little world, more power to em,
I must know: why did America Re-elect a George Bush Blah Blah Blah... Democrat talking points parroted again. This has all been adressed ad infinitum, read some of the other posts.
The current dominant media is the screen, and screen communication is more entertainment-centered than logic and accuracy -centered AP May 24, 2004 Fahrenheit 9/11 was the first documentary to win Cannes’ prestigious Palme d’Or since Jacques Cousteau’s The Silent World in 19

The critic didn't realise it was a joke Wait a minute, is it a joke? Or is it a documentary? Most documentaries I know of (and I'm no media expert) are not satirical or parodies. Did I miss something here? I'd say that the Dave Kopel (who BTW is a Democrat that supported Nader in 2000, as did M
Humans did decide what is in the current Bible as we know it today. Not the wording....but the make up of it. First let me say, I in no way intend to challenge your beliefs.
