Wasting your time. There is not a single right-wing fanatic on this list (or
in dittoland) who will give a damn about what we did to this poor bastard.
It's far too easy to scream "war against terror" to justify anything they want to
do or cover up. The fact that Bush and Ashcroft between them are in the
process of jettisoning much of what makes America WORTH defending in the first
place is completely lost on Rush and his hateful, hate-filled clones. This is why
Dubya is the worst president we've ever had, and John Ashcroft is by far the
worst Attorney-General (by such a far margin that he makes Edwin Meese and John
Mitchell look almost acceptable by comparison).
I know this sounds inflammatory and I don't care. I don't see how anyone can
defend men who can perpetrate such an outrageous injustice. There is nothing
that justifies this, nothing at all. If we can't defeat our enemies by any
other means than by becoming them, then we don't deserve to win. This guy did
nothing and they treated him like he personally guided the planes into the Twin
Towers by wire. George Bush and John Ashcroft are the worst kind of scum - men
who hide despicable actions behind airy, lofty motives. They don't even have
the guts to admit their villainy.

Responding to another list member's ghost post with "hateful, hate filled clones": too upset to come up with more adjectives? I'd say you and your lot are the ones filled with hate and madness. I'm happy even with pipes in my kitchen frozen, the cable being out, my cat being sick and numerous (very minor) health problems of my own.
Dwell in your hatred, just don't let it consume you.
