#1 Of course a lot of them are so goddamned brainwashed by FAUX/Corporatist News Newtork/MSRNC that they don't know any better, but the fact remains (as I pointed out in a similar thread) that the general population has tolerated a whole list of things that would have been completely unthinkable just a few years ago. Where would they draw the line? Well, first I thought it was the theft of the election. Then I thought it was the fact that the Bush Criminal Empire's "official story" of 9-11 had more holes than a 5 pound block of Swiss Cheese, and that they have continued to block any true investigation of the attacks and how they happenned. And then I thought that surely the American people would respond to the so-called "president" pissing off the entire world in order to invade a crippled country based on a case that was weak enough, even as it was presented, and turned out that even the weak evidence they presented was total lies, most of which came from a fugitive bank robber who only opposed the Hussein dictatorship because he wanted to be the dictator of Iraq himself (and will probably get the job if PNAC has their way.)

If you would have told me that any of this would have been possible 4 years ago, I would have laughed in your face. But it all did happen, and the "masses", the "sheeple", the "70% who believe Iraq was involved in the 9-11 attacks" still haven't drawn the line. Why would that suddenly change if Junior decided to cancel an election as a result of a staged terror event?

OMG! I could not make something like this up if I tried.... these people are seriously disturbed.....

#2 Like I always say about DU's visitor numbers:not all who go to the zoo are animals.

PS.My apologies to all the zoo animals who were offended.

#3 I hate to admit it but I knew people on our side just as loony about Clinton, Y2K and martial law during all the impending chaos. Somebody on the other side needs to tell these folks to cool their jets. This way just leads to madness.

#4 Remember, Ted Rall first predicted that the elections would be cancelled. Wonder what he'll say when the elections go forward?

#5 Redneck -- unfortunately, the other side's officials are not trying to shut that crap down, but are egging it on.

I expect violence if Bush wins in November, no matter what the vote count.

#6 RC, do you really believe that will happen? I find it odd that the peacenik's who won't fight Al-Qaeda would take on fellow Americans.

#7 Lil Dhimmi...I respectively disagree. The anarchist are "supported" by the mainstream Left. The Left will turn a blind eye, as the "people respond to the violations."

Crazy...You are so right. I like to look at the sight every now and again. It reminds me that Savage is correct...liberalism is a mental disorder.
