		<description>Ross - This post is getting out there via Google News, etc. Sometimes, the most thoughtful posts generate the fewest comments -- see Fred&#039;s excellent summation of the various socialist parties a few months ago.</description>

		<description>I saw that and it was really bizarre.  The NY Times has a lot of bizarre ads, though, that don&#039;t reflect their beliefs at all.</description>

		<description>Speaking of Islamophobia, did you see the neocon Clarion Institute&#039;s new &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://www.alternet.org/rights/99767/newspapers_in_swing_states_are_delivering_anti-islam_dvds_to_voters/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;hate DVD&lt;/a&gt; that&#039;s being distributed as an insert by &lt;i&gt;The New York Times&lt;/i&gt;, among other publications?

I can&#039;t imagine the &quot;liberal&quot; &lt;i&gt;New York Times&lt;/i&gt; distributing such hate DVDs about other religions.

I saw this DVD in &lt;i&gt;National Review&lt;/i&gt; in the local  Barnes &amp; Noble.</description>

		<description>I would also like to announce that John Murphy has received the endorsement of the Catholic Trotskyist Party of America, a new third party which I founded which is rapidly growing in influence, and is planning to register a YouTube channel, start a Facebook group, and get its own website within the next week.</description>

		<description>John Murphy (http://www.johnmurphyforcongress.org) says:

I demand the repeal of the USA Patriot Act and the restoration of civil liberties. The USA Patriot Act and associated executive orders now threaten freedom of speech and peaceful assembly, the assistance of counsel in criminal prosecutions and due process concerning deprivations of life, liberty or property and protection from unreasonable search and seizures

The U.S. â€œwar on terrorâ€ is nothing more than an ideological justification for the aggressive projection of U.S. imperial power abroad -- and a clampdown on any serious challenge to the system at home. Islamophobic diatribes are a means of providing a cover to this reality.

 

It is not my aim to reshape the U.S. war on terror but to oppose it.

 

Make no mistake about this: Terrorism is the enemy of all civilized nations and civilized beings. However, civility requires self-examination. Because the terrorists employ indiscriminate violence against innocent civilians does not mean that they have no cause. They have attacked our people; our brothers and sisters, and it is not shameful to admit that they caused us harm. To see the innocent killed and bloodied arouses our passion, our rage, our instinctive need for vindication but when the rage subsides, we must bow our heads, mourn our losses, and finally take account.

 

If we are indeed a righteous people, we will recognize that our government has also brought great harm, death and destruction to people who are no less innocent than the people of New York, London and Madrid. The rage, the passion and the deep sense of loss is not lessened because they are inflicted by missiles and invading armies.</description>
