I always enjoy your journal.
The psychopathology of the 4th Reich (bushies, in your vernacular) is really astounding. Some kook was on with Hartmann yesterday. He's of the "The Socialists want to take all of your guns" subspecies. Thom began by asking him, "What do you mean by Socialist?", and the Bushie replied (paraphrasing), "someone who takes all of his orders from the Big Brother Government, and likes it that way". Just like their kindred 3rd Reich brethren, the Bushies don't know WHY they hate socialists (trade unionists, Bolsheviks, Jews), or even what a Socialist is, but their hatred is intense nevertheless. Richard Shelby says out loud that he isn't sure that Obama is a US-born citizen, just to keep that ultra-insane niche of the 4th Reich chewing on their window sills.
Goebbels used to meet each morning with the media and tell them what they were going to write/say that day. Rove has his blast faxes. Non-believers were soon purged from any positions of media power during the 3rd Reich. 99% of the current media has passed the Rove ideological purity test. Someone like Donahue can get fired for simply being "not pro-war enough", while people like Weiner, Medved, Coulter, Beck, Liddy, and others can openly threaten lives and continue to get more work than they can handle.
I am hoping that Obama pursues justice for the entire Bush syndicate. The reason is that we at this moment in time have the numbers and, IMO, the will power to prevail if the (inevitable) critical mass is reached. 8 years from now may well be too late. Limpballs and the rest of the American Pravda probably believe themselves to be beyond the reach of justice after 20 years of propaganda without retribution, but they are sadly mistaken. I am in the final 3rd of my life, and am hoping to see the reclaiming of the America I grew up in before I shuffle off this mortal coil. Obama can take a giant step toward that end by initiating prosecution of those who have steered us into the 4th Reich
