Chomsky shares his usual great insight into our current situation.

Much appreciate the linkage, and have a happy day!
The GOP has quite a history. Nixon/Kissinger and operatives reported now to have sabotaged the peace talks, which brings up a rather similar incident prior to another election - the Iranian hostage crisis. What exactly does it take for a group to be deemed a criminal organization?
Q - What exactly does it take for a group to be deemed a criminal organization?
A - The group needs to be OUTSIDE of the government. Those inside, or soon to be inside the Government break laws at will.
I find the language problematic. The MediaMatters essay conflates the 'left' and 'Democrat'.
I don't.
I view the Democrats as the RIGHT.
The Republicans are OFF the phreaking map.
such a shit-ass crappy paper. sorry for my 3rd grade insult, but a childish paper deserves a childish insult. it is more useful as a bird cage liner than as a paper.
and, i agree, any conflation of dems and the left is inaccurate. there are some lefty dems, but the party as a whole does not lean left. it leans corporate.

It's ALWAYS been about 'means justifying ends.'
I can see no reason to permit any self-declared "Republican" access to ANY power. Actually, I can see no reason not to arrest them all as traitors.
I Gay-ron-FUKCING-TEE you, the Pukes are trying to figure out ways this very moment to sabotage any improvements in Murkins' living conditions if it would redound to the benefit of the Dims...
Not one person (well one time Chris Matthews whispered on Hardball that the trial was delayed again) in the MSM has reported about the ongoing changes in the long overdue Aipac/Espionage trial. You can be sure that David Gregory the new host of Meet the Press will never touch this investigation or trial. He just had Andrea Mitchell , Goldberg and on to discuss the situation with Iran. Gregory as well as the three guest he had on repeated all of the unsubstantiated claims about Iran that have been repeated by Cheney, Bolton, Ledeen, Bill Kristol all endlessly have been repeating for five years.
Justin Raimando gives us an update on this critical investigation and trial that no one in the blogosphere or the MSM is reporting about

Of course there's nothing all that unusual about a spy going to work for a Washington thinktank. Ex-CIA employees do it all the time: so do all sorts of other spooks, who would otherwise be haunting the world's darkest corners. No big deal. But what I've never seen, and don't recall ever hearing about, is the spectacle of a spy for a foreign country being hired by any organization that hopes to influence U.S. foreign policy. Well, here's one for the record books: the Middle East Forum has hired Steve Rosen, once the head of policy development for the America Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Rosen is accused of stealing highly classified information from the U.S. government and passing it on to Israeli government officials.
Rosen was the sparkplug of AIPAC, known for implementing – with notable success – the powerful lobbying group's efforts to influence the executive branch. The very effective modus operandi of this behind-the-scenes wheeler dealer was summed up by his reported comment that:
"A lobby is like a night flower. It thrives in the dark and dies in the sun."

thanks for posting that
No one in our MSM will touch this investigation and 5 time delayed trial. No one in the progressive blogosphere. It is this topic and the Israeli Palestinian conflict that the MSM and most of the blogosphere merge

Johnson was the last person who had any right to criticize him on Vietnam.
Johnson - and anyone else - had the right to criticize treasonous back-channel undermining of the potential for peace. Johnson's sins do not justify such mind-boggling, self-serving, politicization of death.
I am a living and breathing liberal who has gone through all stages with Obama's picks from denial to anger to acceptance. Obama is a total let down and he hasn't made it into office yet. I can't wait to see what he does for the next 4 years. It's like those who still think Obama will get the US to leave Iraq. There is no chance of that happening unless the US Army unless, for starters, Obama rejects the unconstitutional Status of Forces Agreement. The Status of Forces Agreement is, of course, unconstitutional unless Congress ratifies it, and if Congress were to ratify it then troops will be there until 2011, and then it will take 2-3 years for the US military to allegedly leave. That's 2014 at the earliest, but we know that ain't happening either, because by then the US will announce they have to shift troops to Iraq from Pakistan, Afghanistan or Iran because violence remains out of control there.

If the US forces stay beyond or break this agreement, then it becomes a hostile occupation...
