[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Pakistani government is already trying to say she didn't die of bullet wounds, but by hitting her head against the lever on the sun roof during the explosion.
You should be careful of what you post here.
We have been assured by no less a personage than the pisser in cups himself that conspiracy theorists are always wrong and do nothing but damage their own credibility.
You are doing perhaps fatal damage to your credibility with LWM by advancing the idea that the Pakistani government might be in some way involved in this event.
I hope your saracasomometer is accurately calibrated.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your problem has always been your inability to distinguish between informed facts and wild uninformed speculation.
There is no such thing as accurate information, only varying degrees of inaccuracy.
If you had ever sat on a jury and listened to wildly conflicting eyewitness testimony you would know this.
Not to mention that I have not really done any great amount of speculation myself, mostly pointing out interesting juxtapositions of coincidences.
And you have yet to refute my position that the SCOTUS ruling for Bush in Bush v. Gore was a conspiratorial act.
C'mon.. Tell me that William Rehnquist, Antonin Scalia, Sandra Day O'Connor, Clarence Thomas and Anthony Kennedy never spoke either to each other or to anyone else regarding how they were going to rule on that case.
Just because you refuse to discern something as obvious as the nose on your face doesn't mean everyone else is willfully blind too.
Doesn't the fact that I'm *not* being piled on by the regular crowd here give you the slightest clue?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]So you think that that William Rehnquist, Antonin Scalia, Sandra Day O'Connor, Clarence Thomas and Anthony Kennedy never spoke either to each other or to anyone else regarding how they were going to rule on that case?
I predict that you will not answer this question.

karrsic,

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is it that hard to imagine that the arguments in which they all participated led like-minded people to the same decision?
O'Connor was indiscreet enough to let it slip publicly that she wanted to retire and did not wish to do so with a Democrat as president.
None Dare Call It Treason.

Given the fact that the felonious five ruled exactly in the reverse of their normal predilection to find in favor of the right of states to run their own business then yes, it is not really conceivable that they did not discuss it amongst themselves.
Go and read the article I link to above and get back to me. Bugliosi does a virtuoso job of deconstructing exactly how perverse the ruling in Bush v. Gore was not only in respect to established law but also in respect to the normal rulings of the felonious five.
They stole your fucking country out from under your nose and you want to defend them?

I'm really starting to understand why neocons think liberals are wusses.
[Read the article: Peggy Noonan is a serious "grown-up"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Y'all don't even have the gumption to stand up for yourselves when your country has been stolen out from under your very noses.
You defend those who enabled the theft and maintain that "no, they didn't conspire".
Then I get called a bully and a creep simply because I do to you what a lot of you say you would like to do to politicians, get them to give a straightforward answer to a simple question.
My family knows me well enough to know that I never ask a question that has no purpose. With every question I ask I'm trying to get people to think for themselves.
Neocons are great at feigning outrage over made up molehills, liberals can't even get over "being nice" long enough to work up a genuine outrage over real mountains of wrongdoing.
I used to have a tape of Orson Scott Card doing his "secular humanist revival" schtick. Card had the tent revival preacher down cold, every couple of minutes he would ask the crowd "Can you hear me, am I talking loud enough?". I guess I'm not talking loud enough.

Two decades ago, a saint came before us to preach the American values of a secular nation in the humanist tradition.
His name was Orson Scott Card. He called his preaching the Secular Humanist Revival Meeting. He was a Saint of the Latter Day.
And as time went on the warnings he gave came true. Religion crept into our science classrooms. Children were told how to pray by bureaucrats. Churches were corrupted by government money, corrupting themselves in the process.
Now we are engaged in a great World War, a Crusade between the Christian and the Muslim world, bomb matched by bomb, atrocity by atrocity.
And in that conflict, where are we? For that matter, where is Card? Gone to the other side, I’m afraid, writing plays and books where only those of the One True Faith find redemption, where only the Chosen are heroes, where action is motivated mainly by belief.
Do you hear me? Am I talking loud enough?
That’s how Saint Orson began his preachings, and how he grounded them too. Because he could never talk loudly enough to shake the soul on behalf of what made America great.
So now with creation science, renamed Intelligent Design, worming its way into our secular classrooms, with churches grabbing for the state’s money with both hands as “faith-based charities,” with a Millenialist in the People’s White House working toward the Final Days, the time has come for a Second Revival, one more hope of secular redemption.
Do you hear me? Am I talking loud enough?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's worse than that..
In two entirely separate events over a month apart Bush has said he saw the first plane hit the first tower on live TV.
