Squashing dissent

Yesterday, my husband described a syndicated article in the morning newspaper that called the Republican Party an “extra-constitutional institution” and “quasi-governmental organzation,” making the case to lessen its power. Wow, I wanted to read that.

It turned out that this was just a letter to the editor about the differences between pro-Bush and anti-Bush rallies in Salt Lake City during the American Legion convention. I’m sorry to hear that this isn’t a nationally syndicated column, but it’s still a good read.

The Republican Party has become a quasi-governmental organization under the Bush administration. The evidence of this continues to mount, starting with overthrowing the 2000 presidential elections by conspiring to make mass challenges to opposition voters.

Read more of the letter from Nate Smith at the Salt Lake Tribune, and find out how he was kicked and threatened at the pro-Bush rally.



Decent Dissent TV

Holy fascism!  I thought it would be slightly radical to bring back That’s My Bush to Comedy Centralized.  (OK, not radical, but it would make me want to watch tv.)  As reported on Alternet blog The Mix, a digital channel in Britain will be airing a fictional retrospective film about the 2007 assassination of George Bush.  They say it’s “a sophisticated piece of work.”  Any bets on whether it will air in the US?
