I know DU will be reading RFK article online, but please buy Rolling Stone
magazine over the weekend. This will reinforce their efforts and we can spread and share the print copies with others.

9. Voting machine fraud awareness trumps defending Clinton at this point.
IMO.

12. Actually I was just joking.

But shit! I was just tossing at the wind with that. Capt. Jack's or AccuJack's post down there blew me away! I guess when you throw darts at a major conglomerate...

And yes. I agree that BBV is a bigger issue than Bill Clinton's legacy, but they are two parts to a right wing narrative that Democrats can't protect us from terrorism, allowing just enough questions for them to steal elections.

Sorry. AcmeJack! :dunce: Have to remember Wile E Coyote.:hi:

14. Oh, I agree with you on Disney - and knew you were just tossing it out
there, too. I just took the opportunity your post handed to me to add an appropriate reply that was still dead serious.

Me = forum opportunist

heh

2. As a matter of fact...

Disney, Wenner Media, Form New Company

The Walt Disney Company and Wenner Media have formed a new entertainment publishing company through which Disney has acquired a 50 percent interest in US Weekly. Under the agreement, Disney and Wenner Media each owns a 50 percent interest in the new venture, named US Weekly LLC. It will remain in New York City and be managed by existing US Weekly executives.

``Jann Wenner is a master publisher, who created Rolling Stone magazine as a voice for an entire generation. This new entertainment publishing company should benefit tremendously from the powerful combination of Jann's insights, the US Weekly brand and Disney's media assets.''

3. RS highlighting RFKs work on election fraud is more important to democracy
than anything else we have going in the media today.

We have NOTHING ELSE that carries weight for the cause to the extent RFK and RS do at this point.

We can't BLOW this because Clinton let books be written about him for years that were blatant rewrites of history. That dumbass movie wouldn't have been made if Clinton had knocked down the charges in those books when they first came out. He did nothing for FIVE YEARS as one book after another lied about him and his cabinet. So they made a movie out of the lies.

11. Thanks for the reminder.
I lost interest in Rolling Stone for music news back in the early 70's. Creem ruled! Or Crawdaddy, when I felt intellectual. But I'd still pick it up for the journalism--like Hunter S Thompson. (Not that anyone was "like" Hunter S Thompson.)

Nowadays, I occasionally read RS to see what the Young Whippersnappers are up to.
