On ABC's use of "Clintonistas" SCREENSHOT
I would have no problem with ABC using this so long as they refer to the Bush republicans as fascists, christofascists, or at least noted the irony of Bushies calling anyone fascists given Bush's grandfather's financial dealings with the Nazis and Bush's affinity for the modern neo-fascist Berlusconi in Italy.

Fascist is a better term for the Bushies than Nazis because they lack the flair of Hitler and his German variety and resemble the more plainly thug-ish model pioneered by Mussolini and Franco, and imitated by Third World kleptocrats ever since.

I would say the Bushies are Third World kleptocrats, which they are in terms of stealing from our country to enrich their friends, but at least Bush and Cheney don't dress in uniforms with brush epaulets and banks of unearned medals. Yet.

1. I like christofascists.
But good luck in getting any MSM source to use it. Its the challenge of the century.

2. Yeah, I wrote an e-mail to ABC News........
about John Cockring's right-wing diatribe. I haven't received a reply. Like they care what I think. They don;t even try to hide their bias anymore.

Yep, the frigging media is always on our side :sarcasm:


Thanks for getting a screenshot. So, does ABC now stand for "American Bullshit Company"?

edited to add: "media" in subject line and text before the sarcasm smilie.

5. Well, it doesn't get any clearer than that. ABC has declared war. They
have plainly stated that anyone who won't lay down for their lies is the enemy.

Clinton Administration officials complaining of ABC's bias almost makes it comical.

"Those commie Klintoons say we're biased against them! Isn't that just what you'd expect from those loony leftists?!"

17. Is that term meant to imply that we all support Clinton and the FSLN?
But what if I am a Somoza supporter and also support Clinton? What term do us Clinton/Somoza supporters get? Nothing so catchy, I'm afraid. How fair is that?

Down with the Clintonistas!!

Viva las Clintocontras!
