Reply #502: The enemy of my enemy

saying is too often a popular defense of making heroes out of Bush opponents. In this case the aura is especially rotten because Mr. A's career fortunes are enhanced in lockstep with Bush policy. ALL of the people trapped between these two nutjobs are in great danger of their lives, more especially the Iranian people themselves who most likely would have shucked off this guy long ago("impure" a democracy as they are) had it not been for Bush's terror rallying people behind their guy to their disadvantage both in peace and war.

Bush's main war foes are people implanted already by oil interests and other diseases. It is largely like a gang war which, once over, leaves the boss of bosses supreme. Chavez is not even in that immoral league of villains yet people start throwing the same robes over all Bush opposition.

That said, everyone falls into the trap that being a holocaust denier or not is even an issue except that it integrally plays into the Israel issue and the dangerous nutjob issue. The script, the lies leading us into this new war, lies telegraphed like sidewinder punches in slow motion, is that this is about terrorist threats, threats to Israel or atomic bombs(their theoretical future ones). It is a palpable lie for fools already fooled more than once. Hate and fantasy glazes their eyes over. So much easier than removing our fraud of a president.

Even more, Skinner should warn people about falling into these dangerous scripts, this media/WH control of the conversation so that the blatant crisis and crime is distracted. Hero worship, vilification, judging other countries and individuals is all nonsense. Our problem is here and now with Bush. There has not been nor most likely ever will be a legitimate danger or legitimate action or good outcome from any of the twisted intent and planning coming from the fraudulent sewer that is the current occupied WH. You deny other truths and it substantively helps deny that as well, if only by feverish, useless, media-provoked hypocrisy and distraction.

There are certain poisons at the extremes of these distractions that forever make words like "Israel" and "Nader" a viral flame war of ill repute. Certain things, free speech or not, Dem free opinion or not, are as bad as RW propaganda. There is always an imperfect limit here, imperfectly agreed to, to ironically help free speech and truth sharing and opinion to flourish without the poisons. There might be a big point or point of justified disagreement, but the alternative we have come here to fight is not exceptional, it is totally destructive. In this case the owner of this web site, who rarely has had to curb the wild west of democratic fervor, is not only within his rights but deserves words of support. The truth has been abandonned or twisted by the MSM and the GOP and the establishment or whatever. We should guard it like a trust, not a mindless windfall to be abused by us as well.
