Wolf and Colbert
lewrockwell.com

For his part, Stephen Colbert doesn’t see Naomi Wolf’s point about Blackwater USA’s recent shameful shenanigans in Iraq somehow heralding a fast-approaching era of fascism in America.  Instead, the faux-pundit believes the trend is more toward “a bull market for shooting people” these days.

“Ooowee pretty scary. Wish we heard even a teaser about how to deal with the situation.”

Maybe if Colbert had not exercised his ego by interrupting her every five seconds, we would have heard a lot more. I know it’s his show, but I wish he would let other people get a word in occasionally.

Booooring.

Oh, that’s easy, get up, go out and find the nearest anti-war demonstration and join it.

Exercise your right of assembly or it will be lost...coming soon guaranteed.

Then vote for the candidate who best represents and supports our constitution.

I think and/or hope that if we get rid of the neo-consnazis we will also dump the Blackwater and other mercenary groups like them. These are the kind of troops that we train in the School of the Americas in (where-else)Georgia.
If we even hear a democrat utter a good word toward a mercenary group, we need to have their official duty recalled!
If nothing else is gained from hearing about Blackwater there is one bit of information that accidentally got transmitted and that would be that Iraq is NOT sovereign as Bush has been trying to make us believe. We the invaders are calling all the shots. Iraq belongs to us.
