BB SIDEBAR NOTICE
Thanks to you, The BRAD BLOG has been trouble-making and muckraking for … 22 YEARS!!!
Please help The BRAD BLOG, BradCast and Green News Report remain independent and 100% reader and listener supported in our 23rd YEAR!!!
What a superb comment this photo makes. Of course, the bullshit spouted in Idaho is the same old, same old lies and lies and lies that no one in power will dare to expose in the same way as this clever device. This vet deserves the CMH!
Of course, the cofusion and chaos in Iraq was predicted by the peace movement – and by anyone familiar with the artificial stability of Iraq – maintained ONLY by the strength of a brutal dictatorship. The greater problem here was articulated by Gary Hart in an article in the Washington Post yesterday, in which he condemns the Democrats for not having the guts to do anything but virtually support Bush’s war.
With a handful of exceptions, the Cowards in Congress need to hear from every one of us. Here’s a great editorial that can be printed out and sent to the wimp who purports to represent YOU! Maybe, just maybe, soomeone will get the message.
The article, from TvNewsLIES.org, begins this way:
"What shameful toads you are! Yes you, our elected lawmakers. Yes you, the folks we sent to Washington in our names. Yes you, the most spineless, cowardly and craven Congress people in history. Yes you, the most bullied, gutless and shameful herd of legislators ever elected. And you know exactly who you are."

A man after my own heart. Notice this a VFW member not American Legion.
Ha, ha, ha — Everyone in America needs one of those!
Reg #1 – Thank you for that article.
WOW, Reg, thank you for the link to this excellent kick-their-asses-out-of-the-park letter to Congress. I’m in the process of reading it. I wonder if one could get a group discount rate for a mass mailing to every member of the House & Senate…gonna check with the post office.
I had been thinking I wanted to make a list of this admin’s offenses & send it to Congress with the word SHAME written in big red (red but transparent) letters across it.
This is so much better. Still want to add the word SHAME to it, though.
If it proves too expensive for me to send it to every member, yes, I can at least send it to MY particular wimps. But I think both D’s & R’s need to read it.
THANK YOU, TVNEWSLIES.ORG!!!
Top Notch! I’m with you Joan! I’m still reading, but I so agree with the Mark Twain quote:
Suppose you were an idiot… And suppose you were a member of Congress…But I repeat myself. — Mark Twain
I posted this pic in Tuesday’s Joan Baez thread. Priceless, isn’t it?
Yes, GREAT photo, Peg!!
Re that letter to Congress from tvnewslies.org, I think we should keep mentioning it, in hopes that many of us will print & send it. God knows, the wussies in Congress need to have their noses rubbed in the fact that their inaction is detrimental to their country, to put it politely.
Acording to a book by Jules Archer (now unfortunately out of print but in most public libraries), The Plot To Seize The White House, the American Legion was actually set up by people as a front organization by fascists with the intent of using unsuspecting veterans as pawns in their political game playing. The book is about Gen. Smedley Butler, who bcame an outspoken critic of war after retirng from the military himslef. He wrote a book titled War is Just a Racket and he foresaw the military-industrial complex that expanded in power after his death. A good article about Butler can be found at
http://home.iprimus.com.au/koro...ds/Butler.html
An excerpt ffrom the above about a fascist plot Butler revealed in a Congressional hearing:
Butler testified that bond trader Gerald MacGuire had approached him in the summer of 1933. MacGuire claimed to represent wealthy Wall Street broker Grayson Murphy, Singer sewing machine heir Robert Sterling Clark, and other unnamed men of wealth. They asked Butler to speak publicly on behalf of the gold standard, recently abandoned by President Roosevelt. MacGuire’s rationale for why Butler should ally himself with the gold standard cause was that the veterans of World War I were due a bonus in 1945. As MacGuire told Butler, "We want to see the soldiers’ bonus paid in gold. We do not want the soldier to have rubber money or paper money."
It appears that the plotters underestimated Butler’s intelligence and character. When this explanation failed to persuade Butler, MacGuire and Clark offered him money, abandoning any pretense of civic-mindness. Butler’s sense of honor prevented him from speaking in favor of any policy for mercenary reasons.
MacGuire eventually told Butler their real goal. MacGuire asked Butler to lead an army of 500,000 veterans in a march on Washington, D.C. The stated mission was to protect Roosevelt from other plotters, and install a "secretary of general welfare" to "take all the worries and details off of his shoulders." But Butler saw through their supposed concern for Roosevelt. He testified before Congress that he told MacGuire:
[M]y interest is, my one hobby is, maintaining a democracy. If you get these 500,000 soldiers advocating anything smelling of Fascism, I am going to get 500,000 more and lick the hell out of you, and we will have a real war right at home.
Yes; and then you will put somebody in there you can run; is that the idea? The President will go around and christen babies and dedicate bridges, and kiss children. Mr. Roosevelt will never agree to that himself.

"…then you will put somebody in there you can run…"
Exactly what’s been done. Malleable, smirking george.

Good post. Not many people are familiar with Gen. Butler. There is a bio that is still in print, I’ll track down the title/author and post it later. One Smedley fact, he is still the most decorated U.S. Marine ever, won the Medal of Honor twice. We need a 21st Century version of Gen. Butler to step forward from the ranks soon.

"Maverick Marine", by Hans Schmidt. Can be ordered online from most of the book houses. A very good read.
Hysterical. But why would the guy go there in the first place? Did he know a camera would be on him?
Hey you too can have a set of BUSHIT PROTECTORS, not just bullshirt protectors, go to: http://www.wiseass.org/bullshit.html
I would like to diverge for a moment and let everyone know about ALonzo Brooks
This African American party goer from Gardner
south of KC KS attended a farmhouse in
La Cygne KS party in April 2004
HE NEVER MADE IT HOME
HIS BODY WAS FOUND 10 DAYS LATER IN
CREEKBED BEHIND THE FARMHOUSE
despite the FBI being called in to investigate
A HATE CRIME
no charges have ever been filed
Alonzo’s family had to organize a search party to
find the body
Sheriff claimed the area had been searched
SEVERAL times
Apparently someone moved the body
Only Alonzo’s hat was ever found as he
apparently fled for his life
He was being harassed/hazed by the
all white party crowd
ALonzo is buried in Topeka where he was
born
Despite picketing The State Capitol for
JUSTICE
no politician has called for an investigation
into WHAT HAPPENED TO ALONZO
AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE
that picture tells it all…vets benefits are being cut while heir bush sends the young off to war
Hey! That’s a Salt Lake City moment! And we want credit. We’re proud of our protests, lead by our Democratic mayor, Rocky Anderson, and we want the world to know there are smart, free-thinking — yes, even LIBERAL people — here, and we’ve been paying attention. And, believe you me, we also wish someone was talking about getting rid of the Electoral System!!!
