Which "claims"? These are all well-known and well-sourced "facts". Only in the right-wing publications.

But RJ, you're not really saying that a person can't be both pro-affirmative action and pro-civil rights, are you? And I know a lot of poor people who are actually FOR larger tax cuts for the rich, so why can't a rich politician be for bigger tax cuts for the poor?

RJ: any substantiation for any of your claims? (Drudge doesn't count/)

That's politics for ya. John Kerry's "band of brothers" mostly hates him. The Dem ticket engages in class-warfare, while being composed of a billionaire and a multi-millioniare. Al Sharpton talks about "civil rights" while supporting government-sponsored racial discrimination. "Newspeak" is the lingua franca of the political class. Both parties, I kid you not...

Dirt, speaking of predictions, many months ago, I wrote that one could grow weary trying to parse the obvious newspeak of the Bush administration. After "Healthy Forests" (ie more logging) and the "Clear Skies Initiative" (more toxins), I'm no longer surprised. Our Big Bro President is double-plus-good at catchy euphemisms. (Hope me ducktalk ain't a crimethought.)

Nice call. And a super book list.
