Democrats Appoint RIAA Shill For Convention

Posted by kdawson on from the what-were-they-thinking dept.

An anonymous reader sends us to Boing Boing for a report that "the Director of Communications for the RIAA, Jenni Engebretsen, has been appointed Deputy CEO for Public Affairs for the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Denver." The DNC site has the official press release. Cory Doctorow notes that the RIAA is the most hated "corporation" in America, having beaten out Halliburton and Wal-Mart for the honor, and writes for the DNC's attention, "This represents a potential shear with the left-wing blogosphere."

      I'll vote Republican if they run Ron Paul

      And I'd vote Ron Paul if he didn't run for the party that stands strongly against every thing he claims to stand for.

      If he grew some balls and ran Libertarian I'd vote for him.
      No matter who it is, a vote for a Republican is a vote for the most massive government possible, no sense of responsibility whatsoever, and religious extremism.

      That's what the Republican party stands for and that is *all* that the Republican party stands for.
      Lies aside, look at the actual facts and that is proven absolutely.

      Voting for a Republican would say absolutely that you wholeheartedly support every criminal action of the Bush administration. You might think that's not what you're saying but reality doesn't work that way and most especially our electoral system does not work that way.

      There are a few very good conservative candidates who will NOT allow religion to get in the way of good politics.

      No, there aren't. Name one.

      Then name one who could get elected without the support of the religious extremists.

      Good luck with that.

    And 8 years of George W. Bush has, so far, gone fucking great, right?

    The difference is that you, your side, and Dick Cheney are goat fuckers. Especially the YOU part of that sentence.

    This isn't an argument, it's rhetoric. Now, let's see if you understand what I just wrote.
