What exposure to lead paint can do...

Tancredo was invited by a new right-wing, racist organization, Youth for Western Civilization (YWC). Who is YWC? Their mission statement says they work “to create a culture that will promote the survival of Western Civilization and pride in Western heritage.” Compare that to the Ku Klux Klan, who say they are a “white rights political organization working to promote western Christian civilization.”

Do you see a substantive difference? I don’t.

Well, the destinction would require an intelligence beyond that of a common house plant. So, Kosta Harlan, I suppose you are out of luck.

Take a look at the mission statement for Fight Back Newspaper. They started the game...let's complete it.

We are opposed to exploitation, discrimination, and oppression.

Ah...worthy goals. But, you missed the caveate..."unless we can make our point by direct application of all or some of what we claim to oppose.."

Harlan, of course, supports censorship and allowing only viewpoints with which she agrees. That is a problem since she is not exactly the sharpest pencil in the box.

Quote of the day from the Blogger of the day.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"I already have two articles that I wrote in prison, and I'm waiting to post them." ---Raja Petra Kamarudin



The above comes from a Malaysian blogger who was thrown into prison based on that county's "Internal Security Act."

Raja Petra, 58, has been critical of Najib Razak, the deputy prime minister who is set to rise to the post of prime minister early next year. Among other accusations, Raja Petra issued a sworn statement that Najib's wife was present at the killing of a Mongolian woman who was the mistress of one of Najib's aides.

Here's my question? How different is:

THIS "Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading television ad during the presidential campaign."

FROM

THIS "In explaining his detention, the government contended that Raja Petra made comments that insulted Muslims and the Prophet Muhammad. He was also accused of posting articles that were defamatory toward leaders and incited hatred against the government."

Petra's blog is located at (http://mt.m2day.org)...but as of yesterday, his wife had hidden his laptop. Although, per the IHT article, he vows to be up and posting again within 24 hours.
