    Shills All

    When are more respected writers going to talk explicitly about a Project Mockingbird, or urge a proper and honest investigation into 9/11, or discuss our fiat money, or......?

    These important issues are unheard from the "intelligent" neocons who dominate our presses and they're presence is growing on the internet. Their ridicule so crushing of those who do speak out about what or who they want silenced, that only a very rare, brave bunch are the ones carrying this burden. When any of our politicos suggest something as "un-American" as our slowly eroding Constitution, they, too, are silenced. Those neocons are a savvy bunch.

    Bravo to Glenn for dissecting the shallow NYT article today. If mentioned by other MSM outfits, I bet they'll hail the NYT for its bravery instead of what it really is.
