> The timing of the charges make their motivation fairly transparent. Exactly. How many times do we have to see this done? Does the former Marine Scott Ritter really like young women with taught bottoms -- even if they might be under the legal age? I would guess so. Was Elliot Spitzer really using hookers? Yup, it seems so. But one would be a fool to think that Ritter's arrest right at the critical time before the Iraq war when he was being routinely seen on the mainstream corporate mass media espousing questioning or anti-invasion views as an unimpeachable expert was merely coincidental. Similarly, do we really think Spitzer's arrest at the beginning of the financial crisis and the fact that his record on financial issues and views likely would've boosted his political power also a coincidence? These are simply political hits; takedowns using the law to do the timely elimination of political opponents. -- "At all times throughout history, the ideology of the ruling class is the ruling ideology." -- Karl Marx ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
