The writings of white supremacist shooter James Von Brunn on Free Republic, and right-wing readers' positive reaction to his writings, is mirrored here for historical reference. Free Republic has taken the post down, trying to shove it down the memory hole.



Read the Google Cache of the "Arizona Sentinel" blog cut-and-paste hack job that right-wingers are claiming "proves" that Barack Obama applied to Occidental College as a foreigner. As you'll see with a quick read and the most minimal effort to find the faked sources referred to within, it's a hoax. Also a hoax, therefore, is the claim by right-wingers that the "Arizona Sentinel" is a newspaper website taken down by The Man because conspiracy theorists were TOO CLOSE to the truth! See here for a debunking of the fake "article."



Had it up to here with the silence of the Speaker of the House during years and years of U.S. Government torture? Then shout it to the highest clouds: Nancy Pelosi, Resign!

    I agree heartily. If you can be drafted, you should be able to order a beer.

    there should be nothing held back beyond the age of majority. i don’t really care whether it’s draftable at 21 or drunkable at 18, but they should match.

    however, it seems a weakish platform plank.

    (and, to echo my comment from a related thread moments ago, we need more and better education re: the effects of alcohol. we already get some of this, but we’d need more.)
