Telecom Amnesty Foes On the Move
ya really notes a blog posting up at Wired reporting that foes of the Telecom Amnesty Bill have mounted a campaign on Barack Obama's own website. Though the group was created only days ago, on June 25, it has grown to be the fifth largest among 7,000 such groups, just short of Women for Obama. Although it is widely known that Obama changed his stance from opposing telecom immunity to supporting it, many have not given up hope of getting him to switch once again. Meanwhile, left-leaning bloggers and libertarian activists have joined forces to raise $325,000 in the fight against the legislation. "Their Blue America PAC is already targeting House Democrats who voted for the bill, including placing a full-page ad in the Washington Post [an image appears in the Wired story] slamming House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who claimed credit for creating the so-called compromise bill. The coalition plans to follow-up with a Ron Paul-style money bomb, which will be used to target key Senators..."
A slashdot story where *Democrats* are the bad guy? Did I wake up in the Bizzaro universe???
Campaign, fight, target, bomb... it sounds like a war for our liberties.
On an unrelated aside... 7,000 groups? That's a lot. Someone let me know when the group count IS OVER 9000!!!!!
As a person who grew up in a democratic household...
You got to vote for who would be mom and dad?
If you are calling pelosi and dean the "far left" you need to go back to your comfort zone reading Ann Coulter and watching the Oreilly factor.
VLC FOR MAC IS DYING! IF YOU DEVELOP, PLEASE SAVE IT!!
I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I'd look up at your lifeless eyes and wave like this.
In the meantime, grab the popcorn and keep filling out your bullshit bingo cards. Actually, can anyone suggest rules for a fascism bingo game? That would be fun. Papers please!
It could be similar to "BLING BLING"

"Players become adventurers in an inner city setting, trying to gather up as much money and property as possible in the 30 to 60 minutes that it takes to play."
Change that to "power" and "information", and there you go.
Or you could just play the college ghetto version of fascist interrogation.
Player1: "What is you name?"
Player2: "..."
Player1: "LIAR!"
Player 1 thus wins a free /slap at Player2.

It's the Democrat party, not the Democratic party, but that's a common mistake people make.
I'm sure one could forgive the GP for making this mistake, as it appears the party has it wrong themselves...
or express your disgust by not voting at all
Yes because political inactivity is the catalyst for change.
Brewster's Millions "None of the Above" option when you really need it?
Awesome!
Cut them some slack, after eight years of Bush anyone who can string a sentence together on their own looks pretty damn impressive.
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you / Now we are one in everlasting peace
