Not necessarily true
[Read the article: Clinton wins third-quarter money race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"The more money Hillary can get into her coffers the better chance she has of winning the election. More money means more voters."...
Hillry is gettin big donatons, but many of those people giving Hillary big donatios also give Obama the asme amount. However Obama has more poeple contributing to his camapaign, as he is getting Thousands of $25-25O contributions, from people who are going to vote for him. Thus it is Obama who has more money from more souces which means more voters.
Obama needs to take some of that money, hire a good public relations person, as Hillary is getting all the press,
but Obama is drawing bigger crowds a his rallies.

Nazis start-up
[Read the article: "Nazis" and "Hitler" -- the Right's casual, trivializing political insults]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I frankly think the tactics of right wing Chrsitians,pro-life movement, and neocons resemble the tactis of the Nazi. You must look back farther than the holocoaust which was a result of years of right propaganda. The holocust happened after the nazi propaganda machine spent yearts demonizing jews, communist, feminist, and gays. If you look at the propaganda of the right talk machines it has a stark resemblence to the nazi propaganda machine. Pro-life groups often us the terns genocide when speaking out aganist legal abortion, yet abortion was legal in Germany when Hitler took power. One of Hitlers first orders was to ban all abortions in Germany. During the Weimar regeime Germany had one of the most sucessful feminist movemnts. When the economy started failing andunereducated menlots thr jobs, the Nazi propgansd macine blamed feminist and jewish merchants for the lack of jobsand teh bad economey. The right in the U.S often use the term "feminazi". Hitler begin his "brown shirt" attacks on commmunists, not jews, then claimed communist were jews. Hitler and his right speak proaganda machine spoke out aganist "biased intelletual elites". Right propaganda in the U.S. claims the Nazis were liberal not right wingers and speaks out aganist "liberal elites". Hilter was elected to office, was able to convinece the legal and judicary arm of the government to change laws which took away many rights of citzens and that allowed him to became a dictator. German leaders were required join the Nazi party and wear the nazi pin on thier lapels. After 9/11 every Congresspersom both Democrat or Republican wore the flag pin on their lapel, or be considered a 'terrorist'. The "patriot act" was passed in the U.S. and deminished our rights, but if we speak out agnaist it we are branded "unpatriotic" by right propanganda machines. Hitler rallied citizens around patroitism, then he started world war Two.
Germans were silent out of fear of thier own welfare.
Sound familar.

Catholic League
[Read the article: "Nazis" and "Hitler" -- the Right's casual, trivializing political insults]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This organiztion is a joke and most Catholics have ignored it for years. The fact it gets so much air time now is pretty disturbing, but has much of the same effect. It was the Cathlic league convinced the moviee industry to rate pitures. I grew up Catholic. The parishes pubizied the Catholic League's movie ratings in the parish bullitons. My mother never paid much attenton to it because when she was young adult in the 20-30s, when moives were not rated. Everytime a movie was banned by the Church teens flocked to them in numbers to see what we might be missing. When "Blue Denem", which dealt with the realities of illegal abortion, came out in the late 50s, the Church rallied agansit the mvoie. My older brother, his freinds and many other teens flocked to see it. Then my brother and his friends all went to a differnt parish " to confess"; met afterward to compare their penence; and then published thier "best confessional ratings" to other teens the area. It was a big joke.
