AND the movie just looks awful.

smart people are retarded... duh

They are doing it now so they can distance themselves from the 'elite left' (that would be you and me, apparently) as they try to court 'working class white people.' And they know we won't *really* go after them on it, because well, we want to win. So we'll protest enough to reinforce their point that the left doesn't like what they just did, but not enough to actually make it more painful for them to screw us than not.

"It's raining! People will be at home. Let's knock on their doors!!"

Awesome.

Yes, Kanuk25, after reading your comment, I looked at the log files, and John E and Socialist Pig are the same person, 100% for sure.

This was very deceptive, and John will not be posting any further on the BNF homepage. He may or may not show up in the comments under who knows how many pseudonyms. I won't stop him from posting comments unless they violate our policy of no personal attacks, etc.

I apologize for all this, it's not at all what BNF is about. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

John-

Are you Socialist Pig?

go jed report! great stuff.

We're all for impeachment.. and we've been trying on that front, fwiw. Our Impeach Cheney video/petition got a lot of traction, but obviously didn't work out.

We have a better shot right now at getting the presidential candidates to call for her resignation than trying to get pelosi to initiate impeachment.

Wow, that is spectacular. Probably not safe for work, but spectacular.

And I just learned from Jesse that the Slayer song is even called "Reign in Blood."

She mentioned the dream act!

that is awesome. the picture of mccain with the moustache is photoshop gold.

Thank you! All the love is a little overwhelming. I'm very lucky to work with so many creative and talented people at BNF.

Mary Katharine Ham, the right-wing: "You're gonna make me defend Arianna Huffington!?"

I'd certainly prefer Nader not run... for the obvious reasons.

But I don't ascribe nefarious, narcissistic, ego-maniacal motives to him. It could actually be quite the opposite.

Look, he's certainly no idiot, so he knows he's not going to win. So why would he do it?

For the attention, of course. But not just attention for himself, for the issues he cares about. The issues he feels (and probably a lot of us too) should dominate the media this year. It's what we do at BNF -- trying to change the dialog in the country through the media -- he's just doing it through the megaphone of a political campaign instead of a YouTube video.

Obviously, I could be wrong about his motives, or maybe it's a nuanced mixture of narcissism and a desire to do the right thing, but there *is* a possibly non-traitorous reason for doing this.

Is it worth the risk? In the primaries? Sure. In the general? No way.

The story has been pretty thoroughly debunked from what I understand. The person making the claim was actually in a mental institution at the time he claimed the incident occurred! Which is not at all hard to believe after watching the video.

Jay-

The entire point of this video is to use the Vicki Iseman hook to point out all the lobbyists surrounding McCain and running his campaign. It's a chance to use the interest around this story to reach more people about the core issue.

It's precisely because we wanted to get the real message out there (and not the prurient one) that we busted our butts to get this out so fast.

"cyberpunk hooker clowns" -- no wonder I love them so much!

As for the not speaking loud enough... man, if Natalie had done anything more than that, she may not even be alive today.

Here's more on the Gene Wang band, from the NEW YORK TIMES: "Gene Wang is a three-time chief executive with a fancy Silicon Valley pedigree and a string of big-money successes. Most recently, he sold Bitfone, a maker of software for portable gadgets, to Hewlett Packard."

Geez, the man is brilliant!

Make that 5 times. This tune is stuck in my head and it's killing my pro-duc-tiv-i-ty!
