Fahrad,
I am very dissappointed in you and in Salon for publishing your drivel. I usually read Salon because I have a little bit of hope that I will see some real journalism and perhaps thoughtful and insightful commentary. If I feel the need to read psueudo-journalistic expositions I may take a look at the NY Times or the Washington Post as they have been aiding and abetting the criminals currently occupying the Whitehouse and the administration of the executive branch of our supposedly democratic government since G.W. Bush stole the election in Florida.
As an aside I am equally angry with Al Gore and John Kerry for not forcing a confrontation with regard to the elections in 2000 and 2004. Our democracy is more important than whether or not the public knows who was elected president within 24 hours of such an election. Al Gore had the popular vote in 2004 and the voting processes that took place in the states that swung the election in Bush's favor are so questionable that at the least we should have had either a run-off vote or a second election, perhaps with U.N. observers to make sure that the elections were conducted legally and honestly.
Progressive and so-called left journalists that give creedence to the idea that G.W. Bush legally and honestly won the elections in 2000 and 2004 are doing a disservice to the public and in particular to the hundreds of thousands of minority Americans and service men and woman whose votes were not properly counted.
Are you interested in living in a true democracy that treats all people with honesty, integrity and compassion or do you truly enjoy living in our emerging police state that is going to continue curtailing your ability to actually work as a journalist rather than as an arm of the entertainement industry?
Cheers
B.
