Bush, while the size of the agency's (Secret Service) staff has only increased by 5.3 percent. The Southern Poverty Law Center says that the U.S. has seen a 35 percent rise in hate groups in recent years, and few doubt that the discontent stirred up over the election of an African-American president is fueling the rise in threats. But, could the influx of modern technology also be to blame? I'm gonna' take a stab at this: probably not. It's not like all of the sudden, in the day between GWBush and Obama, the internet suddenly got 400% more important as a factor.

Quote: And just a note on racism: it's not an "ism" like "socialism" or "libertarianism." Those ism's are generally considered to be conscious choices, based on consciously chosen ethics. Racism, on the other hand, implies no such conscious control or even awareness of its influence on our actions. So a man denying vociferously that he is racist, isn't getting any traction because whether or not he's racist is a matter of psychology, not politics (I, o' course, see politics as first psychological and only THEN a matter of choice and persuasion, but I'm weird like that).

Quote:Florida neurosurgeon David McKalip is back in the thick of the fight to stop health-care reform -- just over two months after pledging to withdraw from the public debate on the issue in the wake of a furor set off when TPMmuckraker published a racist email he sent showing President Obama as a witch doctor. Over the weekend, McKalip emailed a fellow activist, reporting that he had been at a conservative medical association meeting, with leaders of the anti-reform movement, including GOP congressmen Tom Price and Paul Broun, anti-reform writer and activist Betsy McCaughey, and Tea Party coordinator Amy Kremer. Conservative doctors and their allies have been organizing in recent days in response to the White House's event this morning featuring pro-reform doctors.

Quote:Originally posted by Jongsstraw: In this Nixon-bunker mentality White House EVERYONE who disagrees with Obama's disasterous policies is now called a racist. These vile Chicago thugs surrounding Obama called Bill Clinton a racist during the campaign. They called Geraldine Ferraro a racist during the campaign. They will call ANYBODY a racist when they have to. And don't ever forgot what the Dems & Liberals had to say originally about Colin Powell & Condi Rice. As the FIRST African-Americans to hold those high offices, they were simply dismissed & demeaned as Uncle Toms by Liberals. Its' reached a point where it means NOTHING anymore, perhaps even a badge of honor to be called a racist by those who promised to heal the nation, those who promised to unite everyone. They also promised openness in Govt! I guess the first step would be to actually have the Legislators read the bills they pass, or even open up these closed door sessions, or put the shit on the web. Nope...none of that with this Prez. No, instead these bullies have enemies, and they have a LIST! They strongarmed Chrysler, they strongarmed BOA, they are using Legislative retalitation against insurance companies for having THE NERVE to have an opposing view on Healthcare. It's typical of Chicago-style strong-arm politics. They've launched an investigation aimed at Humana. They are attacking Fox News. They are attacking the U.S. Chamber of Commerce because they, as a business-development organization, see the Dem's Cap & Tax and HC as catastrophic to our economy. They say even more jobs will be lost, and even more debt will be piled on top of the $ 1.4 trillion that Obama has racked up so far in his campaign to bankrupt America & destroy the value of the U.S.Dollar. They are encouraging and warning the Obama-thrill-down-their-leg media drones not to pick up on Fox stories. Never has an administration been so pathetically petty, so thin-skinned, and so utterly mis-guided as these clowns. Fox News is making fools of them every day....taunting them, calling them out for all their radicals running around the White House these days. It's only a matter of time before even the Obama-crazed media turns on him too, as even the NY Times is starting to jab a bit at Obama's waffling on Afghanistan. And that piece of shit idiot-propagandist Gibbs had his hands full with a WH reporter the other day from ABC who persisted in getting an answer as to their Fox attacks. He never got one. On the Acorn thing...The House voted to cut off Acorn funding. ( Democrats, by the way) The Senate voted to cut off Acorn funding.(Democrats, by the way) The U.S. Census Bureau has cut off all ties with Acorn. The Attorney General of Louisiana has a major criminal investigation into Acorn. 11 states have election fraud investigations against Acorn in progress. Acorn has had millions of US tax dollars stolen from it over the years by top Acorn officials. The Acorn offices videotaped by the 2 corruption-busters dealt not only with setting up illegal and fraudulent housing for a prostitution house, but also with smuggling in under-age girls, as young as 13 from Latin America. Acorn is over, done, kaput. For you to try to defend them in any way is just another example of your willingness to defend anything that a Liberal group does, no matter how vile and heinous. You should be a bit concerned too that as these investigations move forward, Obama himself may be drawn into them. He was their attorney and served as their trainer and advisor. Also the NY Times knew all this before the election, as an inside whistle-blower gave them the whole sordid story last year. They made a decision to kill the story because it would hurt Obama in the the election. Some "paper of record". All the news that THEY SEE FIT to print is more like it. And Niki2, or Rue/Signy, or whoever you are...why don't you take your head out of your ass and see what's going on with this Administration? Then you might not be so damn smug and condescending to FFF posters here. I think you DO know about all these things...you just can't deal with it, so you dismiss, demean, marginalize everything & everyone you don't like. Wake up, 'cause America surely is.

Scifi movie music + Firefly dialogue clips, 24 hours a day - http://www.scifiradio.com ] Hello, It doesn't matter. I don't care how many bajillions of people hear someone tell them it's okay to do something stupid, and then follow. The cost of banning free speech is too high. And the much easier means of countering hate speech seems to be completely lost on those who despise it. It seems so lazy to me that every time there is a problem, the first reaction is, "There oughta be a law." No, there usually oughtn't to be. You want to counter hate speech? Then make some love speech. You want to counter noise? Make some music.
