HANNITY: Well, that’s pretty much what [anti-war protester] Cindy Sheehan has been saying: America is not worth dying for, that it’s been taken over by thugs. America without the Internet would be a fascist state. Are you willing to align yourself with all that radical extremism?

LEWIS: Well, good evening, Sean.

HANNITY: Good evening.

LEWIS: You know, I saw kind of a different protest out there. There were a lot of things going on. It really affected me to see so many Iraq veterans out there marching in front of the White House, talking about their experiences and why they’re disillusioned with this policy. You know, it’s

HANNITY: All right, Ted, I honestly, I’m not really — I don’t care about your thoughts. You can tell them to Alan. I’m not asking you that.

Delay is Indicted

I’m hoping this is the first of many to come for Republicans of his ilk. Delay is the definition of a ‘pay to play’ politician, and in spite of his Christian facade, he’s done some despicable things for money. Read the rest of this entry

Iraq War Protest

Apparantly some righties have been undercounting the amount of people who participated, for obvious reasons. They cited a picture that had the right edge cut off…here’s the real one. Notice the red arrow on the right:

SEC Probes Frist’s HCA Share Sale; Records Subpoenaed
