Justice American style
It ain’t pretty. Watched the 60 Minutes story on the railroading of Alabama Democratic Governor Dan Siegelman last evening, and it boggles the mind that the greatest nation on earth allows a cretin like Karl Rove to lumber through the streets, ignoring the law and thumbing his porcine nose at the rest of us. </p>
But hey, at least I got to watch it: </p>
Parts of “60 Minutes” Broadcast Blocked in Alabama</p>
During the 60 Minutes broadcast and ONLY during the Don Siegelman portion – the screen went black for Huntsville residents and Mobile residents. There are other reports of other locations, but I have not yet confirmed those. In Florida, a series of strange ads were running about the FISA bill and how Democrats are not tough on terrorism, apparently during the 60 Minutes hour and also right before 60 Minutes, but not after (still trying to confirm when the ads stopped running).</p>
In other words, in the United States of America, a man is imprisoned for being a Democrat. When reporters attempt to get this story out, they are threatened and smeared. When all else fails, the public is not allowed to see the news. </em></p>
Follow the link to find out more about Karl Rove’s vision of a “permanent Republican majority” and the injustice done to Siegelman. If they can do it to a governor, they can do it to anybody.
