Re: The Selection of Comrade Obama - by Lynn Stuter
I did not agree with every item in the article - though I agree wholeheartedly that the whole election was an orchestrated sham just as have been others in recent times.
The two guys in Philly were clearly there to intimidate, but it was far overplayed and obviously nothing indicates that it was part of a widespread consipiracy.
When it comes to lots of these articles, the writers tend to reach a bit far and overyplay their hands to drive home a point. it is a common practice for those with passion - right or wrong. I have done it myself a time or two (which is to say, written on belief more than on empirical evidence). Hopefully my own passion has been correct far more than it has been misguided.
Good to see you back, Maud_dib (though I have to make sure my armor is on when you make an appearance - lol). Must be something about being a Dune fanatic that makes me want to like any character named after one of the good guys in that fabulous book. I suppose it is a good thing you did not adopt one of the Harkonnen charactiers names.
