Countdown - Playing Politics With Fear

Keith Olberman spoke with Bruce Fein about the Bush administrations use of bogus terror threats to con the congress into expanding the FISA domestic spying program.

Bush Pardoned Himself

CNN's Jack Cafferty took notice of a blurb in a recent bill that Bush proposed to the House, which would retroactively exempt him and his administration from prosecution for war crimes. This video aired just after the Congress passed the bill and before the Senate had a chance to vote on it. The Senate then went on to pass the bill as well. So, Bush has effectively granted himself immunity.

Special Comment on the Tilted Playing Field

Countdown's Keith Olberman issued another stellar special comment tonight on Bush's criticism of the MoveOn.org ad.

Domestic Violence Caught on Tape

Every 15 seconds in America, a woman is abused by someone she loves.

Diane Sawyer sat down with a woman who suffered years of physical & verbal abuse at the hands of her husband. The son of a bitch had his head planted so firmly up his own ass that he came up with the bright idea of having their 13 year-old son videotape one of his cruelty sessions. He wanted to prove how much she deserved it.

Her crime? Asking him if he wanted lunch...

In the end, the abuser provided her with enough evidence to have him sent to jail under one of the longest prison sentences ever handed down for spousal abuse. (WOOOHOOO!!!)

Ladies, if this is happening to you (and statistically it very well might be!), I want you to grab the biggest frying pan in your house and smash it upside the motherfucker's head right now! Then chase his low-life bullshit ass out of your house immediately and call the police! Domestic violence is unacceptable. Condone it once and it will happen again. And it won't stop until you make it stop.

Video Response to Osama

I have a weakness for swearing Brits. They make it all sound so civilized...

Anyway, this is a response from Pat Condell of London to Osama's latest 9/11 tape (you know, the one where he was rockin' the Just For Men), in which he invited Westerners to join his special brand of radical Islam. It's scathing and bitchy and all kinds of lovely.

The Weather Underground

Amazing documentary film about America's first major terrorist group. The Weather Men was a band of fanatical revolutionaries, who tried to overthrow the government and the capitalist system through acts of domestic terrorism.

Countdown - Worst Person in the World

And the winner is... FOX's own John Gibson for saying this country needs another 9/11.

Another 9/11?

As someone who lives just across town from the 6-year-old crater that once was the glorious Twin Towers, may I be the first to recommend John Gibson's neighborhood as the site of the next 9/11.

When Will Americans Have Had Enough?

Somebody's Watching You

CNN reports that the US government is now officially using satellites to spy on American citizens.

I Wanna Be Like Osama

From the production Jihad, the Musical.

Bust My Ass

Since this whole "war on terror" began, Americans have seen a marked spike in arrests for protesting, displaying anti-war slogans and voicing their opinions in public forums. Well, turns out the same thing is going on in Great Britain.

This BBC film takes a humorous look at the erosion of free speech rights and the government's use of terrorism legislation against its own citizens. Think we don't live in a police state? Think again.

Bill Moyers - The Yes Men

Click to view video.

Bill Moyers sat down with the brilliant satirists Mike Bonanno and Andy Bichlbaum of The Yes Men, who impersonate corporate representatives at international business conferences, and present outlandish schemes in order to draw media attention to serious issues.

A Fox, a Wolf, and a Whole Lot of Bull

Remember how in the Fox Republican Debate, back on May 15th, the Fox anchormen asked Congressman Ron Paul if he was running for the election of the wrong political party, cause he believes that America has shitty foreign policy, and then Rudy Giuliani opened his big fat trap and said something really fuckin' stupid, and then every idiot on the TV set repeated the same piece of stupidity...?

Well, some bright person out there in the internets has put together this two-part video that sheds light on the media coverage and false accusations surrounding the event. It is shameful how over-represented and over-glorified the far right lunatic fringe is in our country...

Part 1.

Part 2.
