Che was pretty damned oppressive as Castro's right hand man. Have you been to Cuba? Most of the people there love him, contrary to what right wing pundits tell you. They have one of the highest literacy rates and one of the best health care systems in the world. His leading dissident is allowed to roam

I thought RATM was more on resisting all forms of government, did that change, and a question about their breakup was it a difference in political views and clashes. What was the case on Mumia, link on the info, what was he charged of, etc. Rage was not anarchist. Their main message was resisting oppres

Pre 9/11 statements are easy targets. Good point, but hasn't his reason for the war changed? The primary reason being because he was a threat and now it was because the administration wanted to liberate Iraq. Isn't the rhetoric that Iraq is now free insignificant because that was not the reason for goin

Didn't Bush say in the debates of 2000 that we should never participate in "nation building", which is what is being done in Iraq right now. This was his reasoning for not agreeing to send troops into Rhowanda. He also said the only reason we would ever go into Iraq is if they were building nuclear bombs, which wasn't happening. Isn't he... "flip flopping"?

Dang, I've been busy a while but I have to repsond. Case in point: Rosie O'Donnell had to defy her "handlers" in going on O'Reilly, as they all instructed her not to. I don't know if this is the case with Mumia's defenders, but frankly, neither do you. Actually Tom Morrello from the band former

The evidence against Mumia is pretty compelling, and, frankly, I haven't seen a credible portrayal of the evidence for his innocence. If O'Reilly is so sure of his quilt why doesn't he have one of the activists fighting for Mumia come on the show to defend him? There are many heads of state that have ca

I was watching Ebert and Roeper talking about the Passion of the Christ and Ebert said it would not win any awards "politically". I don't understand what was so controversial about the movie. Malcom X and American History X were tense movies and I could see why people would be offended by them (Both of which were awesome). I just don't see what is so bad about the Passion. It was a great movie and it deserve its due. What is it about the movie that was

We decided to do it Kerry's way and let the French and UN take care of it. Look what happened, people beheaded infront of the UN compound and the French UN peace keepers didn't do a thing. But Bush has said that he would never have gone into Rhowonda because it is not in our interests. What interests do

So, are you feeling the child molestor was unfairly attacked by O'Reilly and that the 60-Day sentence was fair? I relly don't see why you're presenting this as a "conservative" topic. I don't know the specifics of what the trial is about, but that man should get what he deserves. My point is that when t

The benefits to the Iraqis What is hypocritical of this war, is that the Iraqi people have no say in what is going on. The USA is dictating to them what is happening. This is contradictory to the supposed democracy and freedom they are now supposed to have. What brings this to light the best is the Iraq

I watch the O'Reily Factor at least once a week and I read his first book. From my experience watching it, it is a very conservative show. Here are the topics he's gone through... •Koch: I'm Voting for Bush -A former Democrat blasts Kerry and the Dems. •Att. Ginsberg on Swift Resignation -Former SBV Lawyer comes out and says he told the White House nothing about the ads ahead of time. Neutral for most part, but looks good for Bush

I disagree with you that there is a lot of hate against American athletes. When the USA entered the opening ceremony, they were given a standing ovation. Other countries love our athletes, some even love our atheltes more than we do, like in Track. Michael Johnson was a lot more popular in Europe than the USA. If Paul Ha

I don't think politics should be seperated from sports if the athletes wish. Ali used boxing to let the world know what blacks were going threw, Corky Gonzalez used it to do the same for Chicanos in the USA. When John Carlos raised his fist in Mexico, it was a powerful moment. As for the soccer players saying what they said, they said what they said even if their spokesman said they were baited. It seemed pretty authentic to me. I take what th

One last bit... which news media do you read? Most of the articles I've seen list both American casualties and Iraqi casualties, which includes security forces, civilians and insurgents. Take a look at Link in the first paragraph, just as an example. Ummm... MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, ABC... I mean if yo

how many of the people writing on this thread aren't descended from immigrants. My guess would be 0. Actually Mexicans are Indians who are Indigenous to this land. It's amazing how they recieve the double negative, "illegal alien".

I find it hard to believe that you could actually believe that Iraq wasnt "fucked up" to begin with. Is 500,000 dead a big number to you? Because that's how many people died because of sanctions put on Iraq, which is more than what Saddam is responsible for. http://www.moreorless.au.com/killers/huss

Wooow Patrick. Not all people living in America supported this war. You don't see the disenfranchised heard from in the mainstream media, but I hear from them in alternative forms of media. Like spoken word is very good here. Mos Def runs a show on HBO with Russell Simmons and the poets there are given a forum to speak out against the war, and it rocks! Contrary what Bill O'Reilly thought, Moore's movie was very popular. To me, that movie got me mad ab

I was watching Bill Maher's show and I couldn't believe how the Iraqi soccer team reacted to Bush's ad that showed them. One guy said he would never thank a baby killer and another player went as far as to say he'd be joining the resistance if he weren't playing soccer. Throughout the Olympics they were portrayed as these guys who were grateful for their "freedom", but their response was different. These guys were tortured by Saddam's brothers, but in
