George — it might depend on the direction from which the crew was shooting, but that’s how Getty Images labeled the stock footage that was used. I’m thinking their video crew labeled it according to what they were doing.

Islamofascism can’t touch it with a ten foot pole.

One of the big problems is that Joe and Jane Sixpack don’t know the definition of fascism.

Exactly right – which is why the Rovians are trying to muddy the waters with their own “unique” definition of fascism. Rove developed his playbook from Orwell’s 1984 and Goering’s philosophy of authoritarian government

Tell me about Islamic fascism, it’s a word that just sort of popped up. So spake Soledad just now on CNN interviewing Anna Quindlen re her new novel…oh, the karma, Kyra.

Popped up, my ass. Give me a break, Soledad, this was so pushed by the BushCo spinners.

Spotlight to Soledad…facts, not spin!

The USA has more fascism going on than Islam could ever dream of.

We’ve got fascism four ways - the collusion of Big Business and government, plus Catholicism (God bless our military and ixnay communion for John Kerry, don’t forget the Pope’s meeting with Kneel Bush), plus Pat Robertson, James Dobson, et al, and their billion dollar evangelical biz helping out (and getting bigtime faith based initiatives), plus Big Biz’s right wing media conglomerates (violating anti-trust laws) pushing the right wing agenda a la the lovely Soledad – a tiny example.

So we’ve got big bizniss and the media it owns, the government, the military ind. complex and religion in our fascist stew.

Islamofascism can’t touch it with a ten foot pole.

One of the big problems is that Joe and Jane Sixpack don’t know the definition of fascism.

We’re about to get hit with Ernesto’s remnants this weekend. We need the rain — but I’m glad he petered out before hitting land. We could go the rest of the hurricane season without anything big — the last thing we need is a repeat of last year. SIGH

Glad Ernesto isn’t as much of a danger as it looked at one point, but how about finding another verb to describe how Ernesto declined in strength? “. . . petered out” hits a little close to home . . .
