[CTRL] Larry Flynt Stoned

January 16, 1999


JOURNAL/ By FRANK RICH
Larry Flynt Stoned


We didn't need Larry Flynt to tell us that Bob Barr is a hypocrite. The
Georgia Congressman's sleazy marital history was already public back in '96
when he had the gall to champion an absurd bill called the Defense of Marriage
Act -- which that other proud defender of marriage, Bill Clinton, then signed
into law. But we may need Larry Flynt anyway -- not to expose any impeachment
manager's sex life but simply because his very presence exposes the
disingenuousness of everybody else, conservative and liberal, Republican and
Democrat, press and public, who inhabits the epic Bosch canvas that is
Monicagate. In the land of the pious hypocrite, the honest pornographer is
king.

After a year in which the President repeatedly told us he didn't have sex with
that woman, and his antagonists repeatedly told us that their case "is not
about sex," and the media constantly lamented how horribly sad they were to be
covering this sex-driven, albeit lucrative, story, Mr. Flynt's candor is
downright refreshing. In interviews, he refers to himself as a "smut
publisher" who wants "to sell [his] magazine," not a public-minded seeker of
truth. He openly declares his partisanship ("I love Clinton. He's a great
President.") and eagerly declares his hope to have "the effect of derailing
the impeachment process." The Hustler editor who serves as Mr. Flynt's
collaborator in tracking down Congressional trysts unabashedly describes their
enterprise as "vandalism," not journalism.

It is almost too delicious to watch Mr. Flynt throw his higher-minded
colleagues in the news business into conniptions. Washington's bloviator-in-
chief, David Broder, brooded on PBS about how "the mainstream press" is now
having its agenda set by "the bottom-feeders in our business" -- and yet he
works for the paper (The Washington Post) that first asked the adultery
question to a Presidential candidate (Gary Hart) and is a regular on "Meet the
Press," the first mainstream Sunday gabfest that made a panelist out of Matt
Drudge, the Clinton-haters' answer to Flynt (though not as factually
accurate).


Mr. Flynt's antics have similarly prompted many mainstream TV news outlets --
CNBC, ABC's "20/ 20," CNN, "CBS This Morning" -- to demonstrate yet again
that, for all their pious declarations to the contrary, the scandals they care
most about are those with sex.

The sexual allegations about Mr. Barr have received far more play than the
revelations of the Congressman's involvement with a white supremacist
organization -- much as TV pursued Monica rather than Clinton fund-raising and
wag-the-dog scandals, and largely ignored Henry Hyde's S.L. shenanigans and
Dan Burton's campaign-finance chicanery to air their sexual histories instead.
The viewing audience, which tells pollsters it's had enough sex, exercises its
own hypocrisy by rewarding Mr. Flynt's appearance on "Rivera Live" with the
show's highest rating since the O. J. civil verdict.

The other hypocrites unmasked by Mr. Flynt's pranks could fill a cabinet
department. It's hard to stop laughing when Dick Morris, who sucked
prostitutes' toes while on the White House payroll, decries the publisher for
"degrading American politics." Jerry Falwell, a past Flynt legal foe, now goes
on TV to condemn his old adversary's tactics -- never mind that Mr. Falwell
himself marketed a video accusing the President of murder.

Conservative politicians and publications that happily feasted on a tabloid's
purchase of Gennifer Flowers's revelations and the recent Drudge-spread hoax
about an illegitimate Clinton son are now fuming about Mr. Flynt. Liberals and
feminists who vehemently attacked a Hollywood film for ostensibly sanitizing
the Hustler publisher's odious depiction of women are curiously silent about
his pursuit of Barr  Co. As for the President, his spokesman, Joe Lockhart,
says that his boss wants Mr. Flynt to "cease and desist." Oh, puh-leeze!

Larry Flynt is a bull in the china shop of false pieties, empty pretensions
and sexual sermonizing that have brought us to this low moment in American
history. On Thursday, alas, he checked into a Los Angeles hospital with
pneumonia. The networks that have been broadcasting soap operas rather than
the Senate trial their anchors keep telling us is "historic" can only pray
that Mr. Flynt, who has it in his power to make impeachment must-see TV again,
gets well soon.

 So, when Calvinists ask if people taking Prozac to
  eliminate elements of their personalities, such as shyness, is so
  very far removed from the recreational use of ecstasy, the answer
  appears to be "no".

I have long suspected that the reason the ruling elites ban all mind altering
drugs and not just the harmful ones is that they fear that people will come to
realize that although we live in a democracy, the opinions and well being of
the majority doesn't seem to matter.  People might get wise to the strange
notion that our young men should fight in wars that don't make sense, or that
the ever growing income/welath gap is not just or that our ruling elites are
not only not endowed with any particular wisdom but that through the highly
controlled mainstream media, we are manipulated and kept in the dark.

It has been said that if you have a gross of eggs, you may sort them according
to size or color or place them into various layouts.  But if the eggs ever
hatch, you have a problem.  Drugs are not necessarily a good thing in
all/most/any cases, but IMO they are viewed as  a threat in terms of hatching
power, i.e. in terms of people realizing their own authority.

Yes, murder is murder and the US murder statistics stand out like a malignant
cancer.  The extreme right wing hate mongers have so many reason and excuses
for violence that it is astounding.  Bob Grant, Rush, Limbaugh, G. Gordon
Liddy and others give us more daily.  The hate murder is unique in motivation
because it is not based upon some twisted notion of benefiting oneself.  It is
based upon the absurd notion that certain groups, who do not harm other, are
intrinsically evil so that one is justified before God and right thinking
people for killing this person(s).  Of course, those who encourage such action
obviously bear some measure of responsibility.  Even if such creatures as Bob
Grant sincerely believe that they have some special role in helping to
eliminate homosexuals, i.e. even if they are completely insane, it does not
exonerate them from their responsibility to meet the natural requirements of
courtesy, respect, and tolerance for others that living in a democratic civil
society entails.

  Would any robbery be a 'hate crime' since the perpetrator most
  certainly 'hates' 'rich people'.

This statement does not make sense.

[CTRL] Republican Hate Rhetoric Turns Deadly

1999-01-11 Thread Gerald Harp

 -Caveat Lector-

Tom J. Wright
A Semi-Weekly Column of Political Commentary
January 1-January 15, 1999

Republican Hate Rhetoric Turns Deadly:
Somebody Stop Them Before They Kill Again


"Brains you know, are suspect in the Republican Party."

--Walter Lippmann,  famous American political commentator, December 14, 1974


"Indeed there are some Republicans I would trust with anything-anything, that
is, except public office."

--Adlai Stevenson, Jr. during a Presidential campaign speech in Springfield,
Illinois, August 14, 1952



Although overshadowed lately by MonicaGate, the brutal beating and killing
of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard, shocked the nation and
disgusted people around the world.  The barbarity of the murderers, who tied
Matthew Shepard to a fence and beat him to death with the butts of their guns,
was stunning.

This vicious murder was motivated in large part, perhaps entirely, by the
radical homophobia of the two men who killed him.  Matthew Shepard lost his
life simply because he was gay.

Many other instances of homophobic acts of violence, here in the United
States especially,  have occurred as well.  Also, hate crimes in general are
on the rise across the country.  An obvious question arises:  Why has
homophobic violence, and many other kinds of hate crimes, been rising so
dramatically?  And why have the intensity and ferocity of that violence become
so extreme?

The increase in hate crimes is a direct result of the increase in hate
rhetoric.  And we all know who the masters of hate are:  the hard core
Republican right wing.  These lunatics spew out hate the way an open sewer
spews out raw sewage.

Here are just a few disgusting examples of Republicans at work:
Conservative New York radio commentator Bob Grant once said, on the air to
millions of listeners, that he wished that police had machine-gunned New York
City's gay pride marchers during a 1994 parade.  Grant also told one
disaffected listener of his show, who was angry about one minority or another,
to "Well, get a gun and go do something, then."

Republican Senator Trent Lott called homosexuality a "disease", like
kleptomania.   Radical Republican conservative Congressman Dick Armey called
fellow Congressman Barney Frank, "Barney Fag", then claimed it was a slip of
the tongue.  Right wing nutcase and Republican party BigWig Pat Robertson
stated that Disney World in Orlando, Florida would be struck by some
catastrophe because it didn't properly discriminate against gay people the way
he does.

The list goes on and on.  The Republican Party has turned hate and
scapegoating and fearmongering into a science.  It's what they are good at
doing.  It's what they do best.  And boy, are they proud of it.

But so far, no one has forced conservatives to take responsibility for
their hate rhetoric.  This certainly includes the media, which of course is
itself mostly right wing.  How else do you think sick bastards like the
aforementioned Bob Grant, Hitler-wannabee Pat Buchanan, the loony Nixonite G.
Gordon Liddy, and all of their right wing clones throughout the country, ever
get on the air?  It ain't accidental, folks.

Well, it is time for the American People to hold the Republicans, and
their mouthpieces in the media, personally accountable for their outrageous
scapegoating, inflammatory rhetoric, manipulative scare tactics, and the
violence that inevitably follows.  These spewers of hate must be stopped
before they kill again.

But we have to act quickly, because make no mistake about it, the
Republican Party is a very dangerous organization, full of hubris, hyper-
conservative dementia, and a ton of $$money$$.  This ill-begotten monster was
born with the rise to power of that famous loon Ronald "Bedtime For Bonzo"
Reagan, and it's been growing ever since.

The best way to stop it and these people behind it, is to vote the
Republican Party out of office.  And out of existence.  Like the Whigs of
yesteryear, it is time for the Republican Party to die.  It is too infested
with fanatics to be saved.  Just put the thing out of its misery, for God's
sake.  That will leave us with the Corporate Democrats on the right,
Progressives on the center left, and Libertarians somewhere in between.

Also, a sincere letter of apology, signed by conservatives everywhere,
should be promptly submitted to the American People, and put on display in
Washington D.C.  The display will serve to remind potential hatemongers
everywhere that they will endure Great Pain, Suffering, and Humiliation, if
they ever again attempt such crude tactics.

Not only that, if the likes of Bob Grant or his ilk ever openly encourage
violence against innocent citizens again, and said violence occurs, then the
District Attorney of the county in which the incitement to violence was made,
should promptly prosecute them as criminals, for aiding and abetting a crime.

You won't believe how quickly these

Shame on you, Hawk.  Have you never heard of Potemkin Village?

I think that the distance between us on how the slaves lived and were treated
is due to two things.

The living conditions and psychological environment of the slaves varied
enormously between regions and plantations.

I place greater credence in the slaves themselves as to what their lives were
like.  During the 1950s and 1960s when the South was being weaned from Jim
Crow, it was common for Southern apologists to say things like "Some of my
best friends..." or "We all got along fine here until those outsiders began
stirring things up."  [My wife attended a YWCA in the South during this time.
When she and a friend arrived by car to the motel of a small town on their
trip, they were frightened by the paranoia of the folks in the motel lobby.
Many questions aimed at determining whether the travelers were there "to stir
up trouble."]

The apologists for slavery in the US are hardly alone, the phenomena is common
enough.  For instance, i have no doubt that if we asked the Japanese who
participated in the POW camps where American prisoners were held how the
prisoners were treated.  They would assure the questioner that the treatment
was fair and reasonable.  My recollection is that Americans died in the
Japanese POW camps at a rate 8 times greater than they died in the camps of
Nazi Germany.  Nothing is more enlightening on this issue than to read Bataan
Death March which lets the American prisoners speak for themselves.

Likewise the ex-slaves speak for themselves.  Their opinions vary considerably
but overall the picture emerges of mostly semi-isolated lives on plantations
of fewer than 10 slaves having brutal lives of onerous labor in the fields
with no regard shown for families or respect for person.  Yes, there are
exceptions, such as owner buying a comely mulatto girl who could sew after a
fashion and taking her back home, installing her in a bedroom with a a needle
and thread and announcing to the Mrs. that they had a new seamstress.  This
was hardly a good life for either the slave girl or the mistress but i suppose
you could contend that it was a pleasant life of ease if your thinking allows
it.

 Sometimes people
  would rather "be taken care of" than face life's uncertainties armed only
 with
  their own skills and decision-making abilities.

Welcome back, Hawk.  Many of us missed hearing your arguments however we
disagreed because your supporting evidence offered something to get one's
teeth into.

I'm not sure what to say regarding your remarks concerning the scriptures
since, apparently, some are grievously offended by any mention of spiritual or
moral matters - at least they are offended when scriptures are referenced as
opposed to, say, Urantia channeled baloney.  I will only point out that we are
directed away from legalism and toward general principles so i am puzzled by
your statement that the principles cannot be applied in the specific.  It
seems to me that they could then never be applied.

I am reminded of something a priest said at a class for the general public on
biblical exegesis.  The priest was British and supposedly a scholar of
considerable talent.  (Incidentally, this class was free, a not uncommon event
in those days of the 60s.)  He sarcastically said that whenever the
bureaucrats or politicians of Britain commented on the golden rule and other
such, they would say, "Well, that's all well and good but one cannot run an
empire on ideals."  Of course, at this time the empire had already dissolved.

You speak of the slave mentality and i know that it lives in many people.
However, IMO the root of it is in oppression.  When folks get so frustrated
and despair of being allowed to do, they sometimes sort of give up and go
along with the notion that if something good is going to happen, it must come
from massah (the corporation, government, church, et al).   Of course this is
not confined to actual ex-slaves.

You ask about what state had the removal of thumbs as punishment for learning
to read.  The plantations were in the bush.  The law was massah and vice
versa.  When you read the narratives of the ex-slaves your eyes are opened.
The law is irrelevant when it is not available and when the entire economy
depended upon supporting massah's heroic efforts to keep everyone in their
place.

Literate thinking slaves are an obvious threat.  Why do you think our own news
media is so carefully controlled?  The weak spot in the plantation was the
owner's children, their eagerness to share what they know and show off at the
same time.  When a slave learned to read, he taught others.  When a plantation
had more than, say, a score of slaves, they would meet at night in culverts or
ditches with the overhead covered with branches and twigs.  They told each
other about what was going on, 10 pair of eyes in different places could see a
lot.   With good fortune, one would teach reading.  When a slave stopped
overnight attached to plantation visitors, they could hear about things far
away and give information in return.  These underground schools were vital to
the encouragement that comes from camaraderie.

The above remark applies to prayer also.  Bear in mind that each plantation
had its own way to deal with issues in the slave community, namely massah's
way.  A few, especially the large plantations with hundreds of slaves,  were
relatively liberal and followed their own house rules fairly consistently.
Jefferson Davis ran one of these operations.  Most plantation owners were
rather harsh.  Economics led the most intelligent owners to give their slaves
just enough sustenance and rest to maintain the work.  The photographs of the
slaves tell the story by their faces.

Jerry

Apparently, many of the owners were as ignorant as the slaves about prayer.
It was common for owners to forbid prayer, possibly because they did not want
their slaves to have either hope or comfort or maybe because the owners really
were nervous about the slaves communicating with the living god.  The slaves,
who like the owners apparently never heard of silent prayer or believed it
ineffective, would speak their prayers into a tub of water to muffle it.

 My
  understanding of law has lead me to believe that the southern states had
  the legal right to leave the union and that they did so lawfully. As I
  stated, the Supreme Court of the time was probably in agreement with
  this position. It was Lincoln and others in the northern states who
  ignored their oathes to the Constitution.

Suppose that you are quite correct in saying that Jefferson Davis, Stonewall
Jackson, Robert E. etc.  were strictly legal.  What you are missing is that
more is involved with every man's actions than legality, or for that matter,
profit.  These men in high leadership positions knew this.  What motivated
them.  They did not perform an act merely because it was legal, i.e. they did
not act arbitrarily.

They joined in the Confederacy because it stood for their way of seeing, their
way of living.  That way was based upon slavery.  The Southern leadership
could not stay in the Union without accepting a gradual change over in the
dirty little condition that made their way possible.  The North was not going
to accept additional slave states and the opposition to slavery was growing.

It was much like those doors in Deuteronomy, one leads to life and one leads
to death.  The strange thing is that the doors are very well marked.  No
mistake is possible.  Many white people in the South chose life but most of
the leaders chose death.  To be sure, choosing life is emotional; that's
because our deepest values are emotional issues with us.  The sin of keeping
people enslaved is emotional.  The slavers may taunt those who vote for
freedom as being emotional but those who would even defend slavery, much less
practice it, are also being emotional.  Part of their dysfunction is that they
must pretend to a strange machismo of the psyche.

Incidentally, in an earlier posting someone referred to the reluctance of some
of the ex-slaves to their new situation and even persistent opinion that the
old slave times were preferable.  It was sort of like the Israelis coming out
of the land of fleshpots.  Some weren't so sure.  Many of the slaves of Dixie
were dismissed from the plantations at war's end because it simply was not
profitable for the planters to keep them on.  These, now vagabonds, newly
freed illiterate blacks lined the roads in their trek north to find work.
They had only the clothes on their backs (few received 40 and a mule).  Some
died on the way but others made it to partly fuel the latter part of the
industrialization of America.

Most freed slaves far preferred their freedom but a few never obtained a
decent life and actually remembered their slavery as a better time.  Even with
the night patrols, the removal of thumbs for the crime of learning to read,
the forbiddance of prayer, and the merciless beatings when they took a bit of
extra nourishment, the commonplace forcible sex by massah and supervisors of
the slave women and, if these times are any guide, of boys and girls as well,
the fleshpots glowed in their remembrance.  Think of the filthy crimes
committed today for those fleshpots, the dismemberment of companies along with
massive disruption in lives, the unnecessary wars in Vietnam, Panama, the
Gulf, Grenada, Somalia.  Freedom came in second when we overthrew democracies
in Iran, Guatemala, Chile and installed criminal governments.  Man, how do we
free ourselves of this sort of blindness?

Re: [CTRL] Email #2, About Indian Population

 the estimates as ranging from the lower end of the scale
  with Kroeber (1939) at some 9,000,000 Indians to the highest estimate
  12,000,000 Dobyns (1966) with Dobyns being considered by far the more
  inflationary scholar.  The chart is actually solidly placed as far as
  estimates go -- all the scholars except for Dobyns fall within the range
  of 1-3 million indigenous population in North America in A.D. 1500 with
  nearly 8 of the scholars citing a figure at about one million maximum.
  North America is defined as including Canada, U.S., and Arctic.

I' a bit confused.  Does the 9-12 million range pertain to extant populations
while the 1-3 million applies to 1500?  Is the existing population not known
to a fair degree of accuracy from census figures?  What am i missing here?

  In reality, it was the Southern soldiers who were fighting for the

Is there anything so jaw dropping inexplicable than the few who attempt to

"shrines" to Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson.  Take a tour of the South
and your ear will be bent by a guide babbling about how cruel the Yankees were
at Vicksburg.  Listening to them, one would never guess that the South was run
by a gang of slavers who do not at all correspond to those portrayed in Gone
With the Wind as kindly masters taking loving care of some child like people.

Of course, things are complicated and there were many decent Christian
Southerners who smuggled slaves, spied on Southern military units, and
sabotaged when possible.  There were right-wing Northerners who spoke and
acted for the South.  There were slave holding prosperous free blacks in the
South.  There were a few slave holders who did treat their slaves with some
shred of fairness considering the relationship.  The real point is that every
son of the South who involves himself in discussions about the Civil War
should get down on his knees and thank God that the Union won the war thereby
freeing both slave and "free" Southerner.

  This is dated thinking. It applied a generation ago. The legend of
  chosenness is part of the Jewish national myth. It applies to those
  who
  have converted as well. There is no problem here except that
  Christians
  can't usurp that title while Jews continue to exist.

IMO this is not quite it.  It is true that we Christians have totally usurped
the scriptures and beliefs of the Jewish/Hebrew people up to the time of
Christ.  But i think it gets kind of complex.  It has been said of Hitler that
that he especially resented the Jews because while Hr, Hitler, babbled about
the natural superiority of the Aryan race, he realized that the difference was
that the Jews really did believe in their own superiority by virtue of being
the Chosen People.  This is not it either though it is an interesting theory.

I think that it is a matter of some naive but determined Christians thinking
that since theirs is the true religion and is built upon Judaism, it is right
and natural for the Jews to be converted.  They are thwarted and shocked when,
after the Christian faith has been explained, the Jews still do not convert.
The surprise quickly turns to anger.  Martin Luther strongly believed that the
Jews simply had not had the Faith explained to them properly but he, Luther,
would do it right.  Again, disappointment.  Luther became one of many anti-
Semitic Christians, adding more coals to the Holocaust to come.

  I am eager to hear your reply, because I have found that Clinton-type
  supporters invariably LOVE the current no-checks-and-balances computerized

I have to admit to being more than a tad suspicious of anything which the
Libertarians or conservatives find appealing.  The Libertarians sound
appealing because they at least have the good sense to know that locking up
huge numbers of citizens for victimless crimes and squandering billion of
dollars on the "war on drugs" is damaging to the nation.  On the other hand, i
heard much of what was said at their convention in 1996 and it became plain
that the party leaders are mostly interested in avoiding taxes.  They either
believe that it is possible to have a society worth living in without expenses
or their top priority is "let George pay for it" where George is you or me.
This gives them plenty in common with those for whom the Republicans carry
water despite the hypocritical moralizing by the conservatives.

At this point i am not sufficiently familiar with the issue of going back to
count the ballot the old fashioned way.  Doubtlessly, there are certain
efficiencies in automated vote counts for both time and money.  There were
charges of vote fraud when the ballots were still hand counted.  There are
questions here of the impact on the growing use of referendums that going back
would have, i.e. would they still be practicable?  In short, i must weasel out
here and not give the court room lawyers preferred answer of yes or no.
Cheers.

  Could you please quantify this?  A quick check of census figures and the

  Greece is greater than the difference between Connecticut and Mississippi
  (the difference between west  east Germany is even greater).

  Or were you referring to the difference in income levels between the
  richest and poorest within a country?  In Europe these are held lower by
  high rates of taxation and social welfare, i.e. income redistribution.


Yes, one must be careful in these comparisons.  It's sort of like the
epidemiological studies that can make cancer rate differentials invisible by
carefully selecting the population group.  As you suggest, when considering
income or wealth gaps, one must look at ratios of the richest to the poorest.
When considering absolute income, it is important to look at medians rather
than averages.

  Europe will never be as cohesive as the US due to differences in language.
  But I don't see this as being much of a factor in the Euro being a popular
  trading currency.  Trading ties and currency stability will factor much
  higher.  Look for the Euro to be popular in Europe, Africa, possibly
  Western Asia, and the Dollar to maintain its strength in Eastern Asia and
  the Americas.

  Che


You are probably correct for over the next few years.  The reason i believe
that those nations which have the most widely shared income, wealth,
knowledge, and power are going to become gradually dominant is that such a
nation is naturally able to marshall superior strength in any endeavor over
other countries of similar population size.  Of course, this applies to the
290 million Euro Europeans compared to the US.  Unless our corporate masters
and their servants, the Republicans and the news media wake up fast, and there
is no sign of this about to happen, the Euro folks are going to pass us
economically.  The international politics follows the money.

Nothing has been more revealing than the way Bush and his boys passed the
begging bowl so we could make war in The Gulf.  The Japanese really rubbed it
in when they objected to having to pay at all saying they could live with
Saddam just fine.  To a great extent out international leadership rests upon
the memories of WWII and fears among various nations of Japan and Germany
including fears from many in Japan and Germany.  This condition is has
weakened some and, naturally, will contine to do so with the passage of time.
We didn't have to help it along with our cowboy adventures in Vietnam, Panama
etc. but that is another story.

Perhaps you would trust the polls and elections only if they came out as you

Where i find a major disconnect in your opinions that you assume Clinton is
the boy of the ruling elite.  However, the ruling elites must constantly check
him such as paring back the initial request for increasing the minimum wage or
setting up an expensive and extensive propaganda barrage against national
health insurance.  I fully agree that although GDP keeps climbing and the
number of millionaires in the nation grows, the average guy is not sharing in
the prosperity of the rich.  I hardly think that the answer is to vote against
the one presidential candidate and party which consistently proposes and works
for a more inclusive society.  I don't buy the quasi-nihilistic notion of
they're all the same.

History is clearly on our side.  The march of history has been toward a
greater sharing of power and wealth.  The SOBs that have recently reversed
this trend are going to be rolled over.  Contrary to popular opinion on this
list, people are not stupid.  They do catch on and begin to vote for and work
for their own interest and for the values they share.

I do get a little tired of constantly seeming to defend Clinton when it is
merely a matter of choosing to be led by a brilliant talented leader who has
ideas and spiritually based ideals or a wholly cynical gang of power hungry
hypocrites who can only view society as something to manipulate.

with comely female lobbyists) in his office?  There are others of course and
they all lied.  Are these 5-year olds strangely selective?  When our kids were
young, there were scandals also but our youngsters were not continually coming
forward with "Why would that mean old person lie?"  Could it be that these
assorted stories about "what to tell the innocents" are so much horse shit?

Another bit of hogwash we've heard a lot of recently is that everything was
wonderful until those young people demonstrated against the Vietnam War in the
1960s.  Of course, the reality is that these demonstrators, seeing that the
war was evil, attempted to bring the war to a halt, thereby saving American
and Vietnamese lives.

Another thing those terrible liberals of the 1960s did was help to bring a
screeching halt to the corrupt way of life of the Jim Crow south.  The battle
for civil rights was costly and the snivelers of today can thank those who
paid the price to achieve the openness of today's society.  Obviously, monster
controversial issues are still with us in the form of poverty and environment.
Both involve corporate exploitation and media manipulation.

[CTRL] And Cauldron Bubble

1998-12-22 Thread Gerald Harp

 -Caveat Lector-

December 22, 1998


ABROAD AT HOME / By ANTHONY LEWIS
And Cauldron Bubble


BOSTON -- Should Linda Tripp, Lucianne Goldberg and Kenneth Starr decide who
is to be President of the United States? When you analyze the principal
argument made for the impeachment of President Clinton, you are brought
inevitably to that question.

Perjury was the House Republican mantra, the argument pressed by the hard
right to bring moderates to heel. In the debate, one Republican after another
said he or she had to vote to impeach Bill Clinton because he lied under oath.
But that proposition overlooks what the trio did.

The President tried to keep his sexual improprieties secret. That was neither
surprising nor ignoble. Henry Hyde and Robert Livingston did the same, and so
men have done since the Creation.

But Monica Lewinsky told Mrs. Tripp, a former White House employee who had
been trying for years to harm President Clinton. At the urging of Ms.
Goldberg, a right-wing literary agent, Mrs. Tripp taped her telephone
conversations with Ms. Lewinsky. She told Paula Jones's lawyers and Mr. Starr
about the tapes.

The resulting trap was sprung on the President at his deposition in the Jones
case. That was the fount of his troubles. So it is vital to understand how his
testimony has effectively been judged.

Mr. Clinton denied, famously, having had "sexual relations" with Ms. Lewinsky.
The definition of that was so obscure that no jury was likely to convict him
of perjury in his denial. And the House of Representatives evidently took the
same view. It rejected the article of impeachment charging him with perjury in
the deposition. Mr. Starr had another string for his bow. He called the
President before a grand jury, where he was asked about his statements in the
Jones deposition. Then Mr. Starr charged that Mr. Clinton's answers were
false.

Again, I doubt that a jury would have convicted Mr. Clinton of perjury.
Millions of Americans saw the videotape of his grand jury appearance and most
sympathized with him -- indeed, were outraged at what he was put through.

But House Republicans said that the President's answers to the Starr
prosecutors were perjurious. That is, answers that the House found were not
perjurious at the original proceeding became high crimes when the same answers
were given again.

No other American would have had to undergo that second turn of the screw.
Targets of prosecutors customarily invoke the Fifth Amendment; Justice
Department rules discourage calling them before grand juries. But Mr. Starr,
determined to get something on him after four years of fruitless
investigation, guessed correctly that for political reasons the President
would not refuse to testify.

In truth, many House Republicans who cited perjury as their ground for
impeachment had deeper reasons. They do not like this President. An
unmistakable venom ran through the whole process.

An astute foreign eye saw it clearly. Philip Stevens of The Financial Times
wrote: "This was not about the sacred Constitution of the United States. It
wasn't even honest politics. The impeachment of Bill Clinton was personal. It
was an act of vengeance."

Conservatives have hated Bill Clinton since the day he took office. Some
conservative commentators, broadcast and print, seem obsessed by the man.
Robert Livingston, before he gave up the Speaker's job, showed his distorting
animus when he said: "Richard Nixon's crime was covering up a crime he did not
commit. Clinton is covering up a crime he did commit."

There are reasons for politicians, Democratic and Republican, to distrust Bill
Clinton. He has not played straight with many of them. And the public has
reason to have been offended at his false assurance that he had not had sexual
relations with that woman. But those are not grounds for impeachment, or
resignation, unless we are going to make the impeachment process a vote of no
confidence and move toward a parliamentary system of government.

In the end, I do not believe that the Senate or the public will want to reward
hatred. I do not believe they will want our political fate to be decided by
Linda Tripp, Lucianne Goldberg and Kenneth Starr.

[CTRL] House of Arrogance

1998-12-20 Thread Gerald Harp

 -Caveat Lector-

December 20, 1998
NYT

IN AMERICA / By BOB HERBERT
House of Arrogance

In the end, the will of the people meant nothing.

Bob Livingston couldn't have been clearer about that.

His mind and the minds of his followers were closed. Even as the bombing
continued in Iraq and Americans from coast to coast were clamoring for an
alternative to impeachment, even as his own adulterous past was being flushed
out in the grotesque invasions of privacy that inevitably followed the
relentlessly prurient pursuit of the President, even as the country began to
contemplate the destructive effects of a lengthy and bitter Senate trial, the
Speaker-designate arrogantly and stupidly proclaimed: "Let us disregard the
outside influences."

The radicals on the Hill would hear nothing but the echoes of their own
fanaticism. Impeach! Impeach!

And that continued even after the stunning announcement yesterday morning that
Mr. Livingston would quit the House.

Dismayed by the partisan stampede, Richard Gephardt, the Democratic leader,
warned during the impeachment debate on Friday: "In your effort to uphold the
Constitution, you are trampling the Constitution."

David Bonior, the Democratic whip, said: "This is wrong. It is unfair. It is
unjust. At a time when events in the world and the challenges at home demand
that we stand united, censure is the one solution that can bring us together.
To my colleagues across the aisle, I say let go of your obsession. Listen to
the American people."

But the voices of reason would not be heard. Mr. Livingston and his right-wing
colleagues, the Tom DeLays, the Henry Hydes, the Bob Barrs, were on a mission
of destruction and would not be denied. Ordinary Americans could cry out all
they wanted. They could protest and demonstrate, send faxes and E-mails. It
didn't matter. The right was on the march and democracy was on the run.

Representative Thomas Barrett, a Democrat from Wisconsin, tried to remind his
Republican colleagues that the Constitution "does not allow you to remove a
President from office because you can't stand him." He was, of course,
ignored.

The Republicans will pay a huge price for their brazen, utterly partisan
attempt to drag a President from the White House in defiance of the will of
the people. The party's contempt for the voters was arrogantly summed up by
Alan Simpson, the former Senator from Wyoming, who said: "The attention span
of Americans is which movie is coming out next month and whether the quarterly
report on their stock will change."

If the voters are the dopes that Mr. Simpson thinks they are, then come 2000
everyone will have forgotten there was an impeachment crisis.

But Representative Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, was probably closer
to the truth when he said, "I warn my colleagues that you will reap the bitter
harvest of the unfair partisan seeds you sow today."

One of the many strange events of the past couple of weeks was the way in
which virtually all of the previously undecided Republicans, the so-called
moderates, surrendered their independence and lined up like lackeys to follow
the right wing's lead. All proclaimed loudly that they were voting on
principle, but in fact it was an exercise in mass cowardice, exemplified by
Representative John McHugh of upstate New York.

Mr. McHugh announced on Tuesday that he would vote for impeachment. But if his
decision was based on principle, he had an odd way of expressing it. The
Washington Post said Mr. McHugh appeared to have no stomach for a Senate
conviction or removal of the President from office. Of his colleagues in the
Senate, Mr. McHugh said, "I, for one, would accept, even welcome, their
mercy."

In other words, let the Senate do the heavy constitutional lifting.

Congressman McHugh may have wished out loud for mercy, but he clearly was too
frightened of the right-wingers in the House to cast a compassionate vote
himself.

The G.O.P. can no longer conceal that it is a party of extremists, of right-
wing absolutists, a party out of step with the political and cultural
orientation of most Americans.

Bob Livingston may be leaving, but his arrogant comment can still serve as his
party's slogan. "Let us disregard the outside influences."

Let us disregard the people.

[CTRL] Cheapening the issues

1998-12-20 Thread Gerald Harp

 -Caveat Lector-

Have you noticed how Gephardt and a few others are saying what the Republicans
neither dare nor desire to say?  Gephardt is saying that the sex revelations
are the result of a McCarthy-like devolution of political discussion.  The
revelations should come to a halt because they obfuscate important.  One could
say that Gephardt is saying this because he may be next.  Hey, who knows.  IMO
he is speaking out because he knows that politics is the life blood of
democracy.  Politics means the discussion and debate of issues so that the
facts and trade offs become apparent.  When meaningful discussion about he
future of American society is overwhelmed by trivia, democracy loses its
meaning.  Why have political choice if people don't know what the choices are?

The Democrats wish to discuss issues that impact the future lives of
Americans.  That's because they are the party of the middle class people,
minorities, women, and the dispossessed.  The Republicans do not wish to
discuss meaningful issues because doing so clarifies their servitude to the
rich and privileged.

This is the reason the Republicans and the news media keep waving red flags,
to titillate the public and get people to stop thinking about the interests of
the nation.  Thus, we hear about OJ, Jon Benet, Princess Diana, Clinton's
sexual activity.  It is inconvenient to base a coup on sheer willfulness,
there has to be some pseudo issue dreamed up.  Base it on sex and when that
effort blows up in the Republican face, go to narrow legalism.  But always the
issues must be obscured.

From January to October the Republicans and the news media told us it was all

of salacious material was released by the Republicans to the delight of the
press.  Then, all became quiet and the news media seemed confused and the

Dan Burton, and Helen Chenoweth were lying adulterers like that mean old
Clinton.  Then it was leaked that Strom Thrurmond had a child out of wedlock
with an African-American woman although he, unlike Burton who also fathered a
child out of wedlock, at least paid some child support (hush money?).  What to

Then, shazam, it was no longer a matter of sex or about lying.  It was a
matter of lying under oath about sex!  Phew!  (see Barb Witts last post if you
doubt that this is the new party line.

To tell the truth, these lying ass Republicans are right.  It isn't about sex
or lies.  It is about a strange right-wing belief that only they are entitled
to rule and it serves their and God's purpose to do anything including
dragging this country down to dust to take control of the nation.  It is about

  statement against slavery...


Slavery was the issue of the civil war.  Read McPherson.  The States Rights
stuff was used by the South to keep from having to argue the slavery question
since they obviously were in a morally bankrupt position.  The South used the
States Rights argument again in the 1950s and 19960s to avoid the civil rights
issue.  It didn't work that time either.

  : Perhaps you can elucidate on CLINTON's military experience for us?


The difference between Clinton and guys like Lott, Gingrich, Armey, Gramm et
al is that Clinton was against the Vietnam War because he realized that it was
corrupt and against US interests, even participated in a demonstration against
it.  These other fellow were all for the war.  Armey even said that his draft
dodging was OK since he always spoke out in favor of the war.  Many of these
hawks would say that we must support the war (prolong it) since that would be
in support of our troops.  Does anyone not know how one of our soldiers in
Vietnam would have responded to a sudden cessation of the fighting and going
back home with the war unwon?  I fully respect those draft dodgers who were
motivated by the evil of the war or even simply realized that it did not make
sense.  I do not respect the draft dodging of the war supporters.

(The reaction of Private Ryan was baloney - the reality is that our soldiers
in WWII were never rotated.  If they were front-line troops, they remained in
the thick of it until the war ended, they were injured, or they were killed.
Any one of them would have fell to his knees and after thanking God, would
have eagerly permitted Tom Hanks to escort them to safety.)

President Clinton launched the attack to cripple Saddam's WMD capability.
Saddam had placed so many restrictions on UNSCOM that UNSCOM left Iraq.
Therefore, there was no longer any surveillance of Saddam's WMD development
status.  However, the final UNSCOM report stated that Iraq was proceeding as
fast as it could given the presence of UNSCOM.  Since Iraq could develop a
serious arsenal in just a few months, President Clinton had to move fairly

[CTRL] A kinder, gentler lynch mob - Part I

1998-12-16 Thread Gerald Harp

 -Caveat Lector-

A kinder, gentler lynch mob
Salon, 12/15/98



THE 'PEACHY-KEEN GOP HAS SHOWN ITS TRUE COLORS -- AND THEY CONFIRM THE MOST
BRAIN-DEAD RADICAL STEREOTYPES FROM THE '60S.

BY GARY KAMIYA
I grew up believing that Republicans were the incarnation of all evil. This
was a harsh and unsophisticated judgment, but the political discourse of 1960s
Berkeley, where I grew up, lacked a certain refinement. In fact, to be honest,
it was pretty much taken straight from Saturday morning cartoons. In our
righteous view, "the people," whoever they were, were always being "oppressed"
by The Man, a bloated GOP plutocrat mouthing pious moral maxims. It went
without saying that Republicans were self-righteous, mean-spirited rich white
men who secretly napalmed Cambodian villages, turned loose the dogs against
civil rights marchers and dug the Carpenters. They were Bad, and if we could
somehow get rid of them -- meanwhile taking lots of acid and listening to
Hendrix -- Good Things would happen.

Later, like many of my co-religionists, I became embarrassed by these
sentiments. Such crude beliefs were unseemly. Sophistication demanded a more
nuanced view. Republicans, I now realized, could be decent men and women who
were just parroting the country-club line. Even the Reagan Age -- that endless
period I as a Californian was forced to spend under the Great Communicator's
genially callous thumb, while the Woolly Mammoths died out and Ice Ages came
and went across the globe -- couldn't make me return to the wooden Stalinist
sloganeering of my youth. I even reevaluated the Carpenters.

And then came the Starr referral and Henry Hyde and the House Judiciary
Committee vote, and I realized I had gotten it right the first time.

When the Republicans in the full House vote to remove President Clinton from
office, as they will almost certainly do, they will prove that those brain-
dead radical stereotypes about them really do apply. They will be revealed as
mean-spirited, partisan hacks, hypocrites, moral absolutists hiding their
craven desire for vengeance and power beneath a ridiculously transparent
façade of pious "deliberation" and "respect for law." The GOP will stand
exposed before all of America as the party of vicious, petty ideologues who,
in their outrageous desire to undo the results of two lawful elections, seized
upon a grotesquely acquired legalistic evasion that falls so far short of
meeting the constitutional standard of high crimes and misdemeanors as to be
laughable.

Or, let's give them the benefit of the doubt, as the ever-generous New York
Times did in a recent editorial. Let's assume that some of them are actually
sincere in their belief that lying about sex -- in an obvious vendetta case
brought by a biased and obsessed "independent" counsel who, after utterly
failing to find any serious misdeeds, connived to lay a perjury trap --
constitutes an impeachable offense. But if they really believe that, then we
must conclude that either their grasp of the Constitution is so weak that
their fitness to sit in any elected office is highly questionable, or that
they are so rigid in their moral purity as to be Torquemadas in power ties,
quasi-theocratic inquisitors who would turn America into a frightening Bible
Belt version of 15th century Spain or 20th century Iran.

Why are the Republicans doing this? Why, defying the express wishes of the
American people, are they trampling on the Constitution, weakening the
presidency and inaugurating a hideous new political world of blood feuds and
true hatred? And why are they ignoring the warnings from the business
community -- to which they used to listen -- that impeachment is dangerous and
destabilizing?

The answer is simple: This is who they are. This action reflects the GOP's
true nature. This is a party so desperate to burn a president they dislike at
the stake that they'll incinerate the Constitution to get the fire started.
All that hoo-hah a few weeks ago about how Robert Livingston was going to
bring a new "moderation" to the party now that nutty professor Gingrich was
gone stands revealed as empty verbiage. The truth is that this is now a party
of zealots and ideologues, obsessed crusaders who have completely lost touch
with the common sense, fairness and decency of the American people. Like Pol
Pot's Khmer Rouge, who declared a purifying "Year Zero" when history's slate
was to be wiped clean (and all nonpeasants were to be killed), these high-
minded crusaders want to restore America's sense of moral purpose -- and if
they have to trash the country in order to do it, well, extremism in the
defense of virtue is no vice! To the tumbrels with the parasites, citizens,
while the Times and the Post knit their stern editorials! GOP "moderates"?
What moderates? The few "moderates" who are trotted forth on TV to be shown to
the mob, like condemned Chinese dissidents with signs hanging around their
necks, seem barely sentient.

[CTRL] A Kinder, Gentler Lynch Mob - Part II

1998-12-16 Thread Gerald Harp

 -Caveat Lector-

A KINDER, GENTLER LYNCH MOB | PAGE 1, 2
- - - - - - - - - -

The façade of "judiciousness" and "bipartisanship" that the pious media, ever
cowed by the musty aura of Historic Constitutional Events, dark-wooded
chambers, invocations of "our national honor" and other useful fig leafs for
skullduggery, tried to sell us has vanished without a trace. Hyde, the Iran-
contra apologist and wisecracking GOP attack dog who was elevated to Solomon-
like heights of wisdom by the media before the disgraceful House Judicial
proceedings began, has now taken up final residence in the trash can with
unsavory American byproducts like our anal home-grown Robespierre, Kenneth
Starr, and the maniacal Bob Barr, who apparently believes that Clinton should
have been impeached at birth. There was Hyde this weekend on the talk shows,
saying that Clinton should resign. This paragon of impartiality apparently
modeled his jurisprudential approach on the Red Queen in "Alice in
Wonderland," who, as a witness departs in the trial of the Knave of Hearts,
says under her voice, "And just take off his head outside." But, gosh, he sure
sounds courtly talking that parliamentary talk.

In fact, Hyde may have been taking those groveling Times setup pieces a little
too seriously, for this weekend he began to invoke no less a figure than Jesus
Christ. Asked by Cokie Roberts why he advocated impeachment and didn't think
censure should be an option despite popular opinion, he replied, "If Jesus
Christ had taken a poll, he would never have preached the gospel." This is a
wonderful addition to the great American tradition of reactionary invocations
of Jesus, who after patriotism represents the best refuge for scoundrels. (The
all-time winner remains that English-only advocate who declaimed, "If English
was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me.") With all due respect to
the pious motivations behind Chairman Hyde's religious parallel, however, it
may not be a good strategy for him to go there. Somehow, when one looks at the
faces of Clinton's judges -- the pig-eyed ex-exterminator Tom DeLay; the
robotic, hate-filled Barr; the snidely, vitriolic David Schippers; the
priggish choirboy-judge Bill McCollum -- the loving face of the Savior does
not exactly rush into one's mind. In fact, these worthies recall somewhat less
inspiring figures from the New Testament -- namely the Pharisees, those
vengeful, legalistic Jews who denounced Jesus. (The "moderates," who will
doubtless be washing their hands avidly in the days to come, conjure up that
noted Northeastern GOP fence-sitter, Pontius Pilate.) Admittedly, the mushy-
souled escape artist President Clinton makes a truly terrible Jesus, but the
imagery still isn't good.

The Republicans are zealots, but they're crafty zealots. Their attempt to take
Clinton down may blow up in their faces, but they have reasons for thinking it
won't. They think they can get away with this without being punished at the
polls, even if they don't kill Clinton. But they cherish a secret hope that
they will kill him -- that once impeachment is a fait accompli, with all the
previously mentioned flag-waving, invocation of the Founders, gravity of the
charges blah blah blah, public opinion will turn against Clinton, leading
either to his resignation or to his conviction and removal by the Senate. And
that hope is based on their belief that Clinton's support is inch-deep -- that
once the American people realize he's in trouble, they'll desert him like rats
abandoning a sinking ship.

It's the self-fulfilling prophecy strategy, and it is astonishingly
contemptuous. It presumes that the American people have no memory, no
spiritual or moral consistency, that they are incapable of holding onto any
position any longer than a jittery kid with a remote can watch one TV program.
The GOP believes this for several reasons. First, they too are children of our
Warholian society of the spectacle, in which everything that flickers across
the screen has equal weight and nothing stays on the screen for more than a
few seconds. As such, they too have been seduced by the belief that, in Marx's
words, "all that is solid melts into air." Yesterday's Clinton supporter is
today's impeachment supporter.

The scary thing is, they just might be right. There have been very few tests
of our national consistency in the channel-changing age. The public might be
influenced by the media, which has begun running this-is-a-whole-new-ballgame-
now stories. The Times, much of whose Clinton coverage continues to appall,
splashed on its cover a thin reaction story (ominous headline: "Gravity of the
issues sinking in for a public weary of scandal") that featured two or three
people in that multicultural mirror of America, Tarrytown, N.Y., saying they
were now leaning toward impeachment. (How odd, considering nothing in this
story has changed in months except the vote to impeach.) But it would be
bitterly ironic (although perfectly consistent,

   "Holocaust" literature also suggests that Christianity is inherently
   "anti-Semitic"
   and that the Catholic Church collaborated in the "Holocaust".

  Both of these statements are true and easily verifiable.

Christianity has a long history of anti-Semitism.  I believe that Christianity
has now essentially shucked that evil, the exception in the US being the
racism of the identity movement (there are, of course, parallel groups in
Europe).  The southern Klansmen and white Aryan groups have heavily
infiltrated the militia groups.  The militia groups was already imbedded with
the identity movement.  The southern racists found it was easy to add another
brand of hate to these deeply suspicious men who had already been forced off
farms and out of heavy industry as the economy began to seriously go global in
the 1980s.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) who had been tracking the movements of
the most prominent racists were the first to detect this movement of leaders
from the Klan and white citizen counsels to the militias.  They have now set
up a militia tracking unit.  They report on both the traditional Klan type
activity and the racist activity among the militia in their Intelligence
Report, a quarterly.

Of course racism is having a bit of a resurgence in Europe due to East
European "wetbacks" swarming into West Europe.  The Westerners resent the job
competition much as the folks in California resented the "Okies" et al during
the 1930s

The Catholic Church did not collaborate in the Holocaust.

  Does anyone here know even one person who would be able to enter one

  to be "open to the public"? Or are we all expendable?

No, i don't.

My recollection is that by the 1970s, most people were mocking what feeble
federal efforts had been made to carry on in case of a US/USSR nuclear
war.  For me, the most ludicrous was not even the "duck and cover" nonsense,
but rather the Postal Service plan to continue delivering the mail.  God
forbid we should miss an issue of Readers Digest!

Few believed in the efficacy of the few shelters that had been built or
conversions of basements in governmental buildings completed.  The government
folks apparently agreed and the shelter notion was quietly abandoned except
for the few DC elite.  While i agree that we are unprepared for nuclear
weapons hitting our cities, it is not probable that anything practical can be
done.  Those backward shelters of the 1950s would have been money wasted if an
attack would have occurred.  There was a controversial British animation film
on this that was shown on PBS.  There was also an American film with the woman
who headed up the NEA for a time playing a major acting role.  Made you wonder
if survival was necessarily the best thing.
