Re: RAT Fwd: ZNet Update / Arrestees in Philly, Action Urgently Needed
Amen on all counts. Gore may spout the rhetoric some embrace, but in the
end he's no better.
Speaking of spouting rhetoric, these references to shooting politicians, or
to them being "corpse-fuckers" are "cute", as in "childish". I'm not
necessarily sold on the agendas of either the Republican or Democratic
parties, so this kind of hyperbole really casts a shadow of dismissability
over anything else you say. It's fine if you're preaching to the choir and
you want a few laughs, but you didn't win me over.
