The Torture Party ....Red, white and blue barbarism.
It`s beyond anything I can even comprehend, this Republican party-line nod to Gonzales. Do these folks not get it? Do they really think it`s okay to drag someone out of his house at midnight, stick him on a ghost plane and disappear him into some dark torture chamber in Turkey where clandestine Soldiers-Of-Fortune await him? Is it really okay to strip these men and stack them one atop another like extras in a porn flick? Hell....blame it on Lynndie England and call it a day, right? Few bad apples. Couple of loose cannons, that`s all. I mean, these are the same people who got outraged because Dan Rather reported a true story and John Kerry tossed a few ribbons over a wall. Don`t they have some outrage left over for torture? Apparently not, because the only thing Republicans mentioned about Gonzales was the fact that he`s Hispanic with a rags to riches story.

I remember when the word "fascists" used to scare me. In fact, I would rarely use it. Now it kind of crops up every half hour or so....whenever a Republican walks to a microphone they don`t allow Democrats to use or whenever Chris Matthews tries to do penance for his time in the Peace Corps by filling up two segments with a General and a General and another....General.

Howard Dean`s scream became national news for at least a month. Not fit to lead. Liberal Whack Job. What do you expect from Vermont? You remember. Yet, the story of hundreds of jump-suited men, many grabbed from their homes we had no right to be in, hooded, chained, beaten, sodomized and even killed is hardly worth a mention. Oh, I forgot. The Patriotism Police are listening.

Well, let`s hear it for the Torture Party, now that they`ve apparently earned the right to pick and choose which laws they`ll obey. I can`t say that I miss Ashcroft, but this Gonzales guy gives me the creeps.

1. Chilling how the BFEE is fronting their
evildoing with blacks and Hispanics, which allows the repukes to scream "racism" whenever a Dem speaks in opposition, thereby turning attention away from the pro-war, pro-torture agenda. It's a brilliant strategy. Put token minorities willing to sell their souls and do Cheney's bidding into important positions and watch the whores slobber all over themselves with the "rags to riches" stories.

Repukes wouldn't care if we turned the torture of these prisoners into a reality show. They are all for it.
