Shenonymous, Thank you for mentioning Rachel Corrie in your post. This big-hearted young woman was helping restore pride and respect for the American identity overseas. Her loss in such an intentionally brutal act was a loss for humanity. There is a picture and brief story on her struggle at Commondreams.

This is a horrible travesty. It is not the first time this has happened. An American young woman was murdered in Gaza a couple of years ago because she stood up for the Palestinians and that has never had any justice either. She was not of Arabic heritage. Just a plain white bread American girl who had compassion. I don’t think we have much control over such atrocities. I can just feel ashamed at American hypocrisy.

Well there is something wrong with Truthdig in that many poster’s comments have been deleted and only their name, date, time, and number of the post is left. Also some are not even getting their posts to appear at all. What is the problem? This is happening to several posters on many forums. Some of my earlier post’s comments on particular discussions have been deleted and some have not within the same discussion forum. I’m asking Truthdig to please explain. I’ve sent emails to Truthdig but no one has responded.

I read about your award on a Canadian news site this morning. Congratulations!
They also mentioned that your acceptance “speech” had to be five words or less.
What did you say?

“the miserable bastards who lied, cheated, and stole a couple of elections, and are now near the end of their malicious, mendacious, malignant, malfeasant”
Conservatism is the politic of Fear. They want to destroy anything that even slightly threatens them.
And now Progressives are doing the same.
Attack, Attack, Attack.
Conservative tactics will not work for a Progressive Movement.
At least the Brits are catching on:

The more we attack them, the more fearful they will become, and the more damage they will do.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!,
Truthdig, for providing a forum with minimal censorship for those who want to drive a true ‘Straight Talk Express’ bus right through the heart of the miserable bastards who lied, cheated, and stole a couple of elections, and are now near the end of their malicious, mendacious, malignant, malfeasant attempt to pervert this great nation and all it has represented to it’s citizens and the world during the past two hundred and thirty-one years.
IMPEACH
JUST DO IT
NOW
