Barbara's Daily BuzzFlash Minute for June 30, 2009

Don't ever think for even one minute Repuglicans care about the American people, they don't, never have, and never will. "Last fall, James Ross, a New York City resident and a donor to several Democratic organizations, received an unusual letter. 'Your name has been put in our database,' Ross was told. 'We are monitoring all reports of a wide variety of leftist organizations. As your name appears in subsequent reports, it is our intent to publicize your involvement in your local community. Should any of these organizations be found to be engaged in illegal or questionable activity, it is our intent to publicize your involvement with those activities.'  The letter was signed by Howard Rich, a publicity-shy New York real-estate investor and the founder of the conservative activist group Americans for Limited Government."  I don't know, but this certainly looks like a threat to me, it's disgusting and appalling that these people are allowed to get away with such as this, technically could this be construed as "blackmail"???

By and large mainstream corporate media aided and abetted everything George Bush did, they made excuses for his inability and tried desperately to paint his lack of intelligence as being "a regular guy"!  The American media will never reveal the real truth about George W. Bush, because they would then admit the media's culpability in all the chaos and confusion, the death and destruction he created!   Dan Froomkin brought some of the truth out in his last column for the Washington Post, and maybe his honesty is why this was his last column!  "I started my column in January 2004, and one dominant theme quickly emerged: That George W. Bush was truly the proverbial emperor with no clothes. In the days and weeks after the 9/11 terror attacks, the nation, including the media, vested him with abilities he didn't have and credibility he didn't deserve. As it happens, it was on the day of my very first column that we also got the first insider look at the Bush White House, via Ron Suskind's book, The Price of Loyalty. In it, former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill described a disengaged president "like a blind man in a room full of deaf people", encircled by 'a Praetorian guard,' intently looking for a way to overthrow Saddam Hussein long before 9/11. The ensuing five years and 1,088 columns really just fleshed out that portrait, describing a president who was oblivious, embubbled and untrustworthy."
