The article is so poorly written, it is difficult to tell exactly what happened. Mainly because Howell spends most of the space simply quoting criticisms of the npp study and the original article with no context, without enough information to figure out even whether the critics have any idea what was really in the npp study to begin with.

That does not change the fact that calling up a few interested parties who disagree with the npp study and giving them a platform for unanswered ventings of disagreement is not good analysis. It is piss-poor job by any standard, regardless of whether Howell mischaracterized the study and article.

I wonder why they are targeting the demographic that travels by bus in America

Because goodness knows that ONLY the extreme, Michael Moore-worshipping, Ralph Nader-loving portion of the left has ANY concerns whatsoever about the war. Republican politicos like John McCain, Chuck Hagel and Richard Lugar and conservative writers like James Brovard, Patrick Buchanan, and George Will have lavished praise on the administration for its prosecution of the war. (Sure, several of these folks endorsed a second term, but humor me.)
Brovard and Buchanan can’t say enough good things about Bush’s decision to launch the war in the first place. And American Conservative Magazine has published dozens of articles lauding the whole Iraq adventure and the Administration’s performance thus far.
So if any criticism of the war surfaces, it must come from the extreme left of the Democratic Party.
Darn those Randi Rhoads-listening, tofu-eating, volvo-driving liberals, anyway!!!
If I’d have know lazy thinking would carry me that far in journalism, I’d have stayed in it.

Read part two Here for one of the ways in which Moon made money to finance the right’s takeover of our government.

The UC admits they made the money for Moon’s USA operations in Japan. In Japan there are currently 20,000 claims totalling 800 million USD. The Lawyers who have managed to have the UC convicted of the swindling of their fellow citizens say those figures are less than one tenth what has actually been swindled from the Japanese – targeting widows.

That would be 8 billion. The Washington Times by most estimates has used up a couple billion of that.

Yep, a cult leader who says he’s the messiah here to raise up the Christian right for political power in America, to move us right and theocratic, swindles billions to do just that and the democrats sit with fucking thumbs up there collective asses while they scolded for taking a few million one elction cycle from U.S. CITIZEN Soros to try and stop the subversion of the constitution.

amazing.

Biblical sized blindness to say the least….
