Oh what a bad Reid and what a good READ, madman.

Nice job.

Dig that Hillary dishonorable mention as well. She deserves bushels full of the fruits of her poison tree dumped here, there, and in those town halls everywhere... well, in the handful of states where deMOCKracy is allowed a peep out of the box for an insta-quick moment or two.

How RICH - Clintons no longer chafe the Scaife, eh? Why am I not surprised? Well, when Murdoch hosts her a fundraising breakfast this past summer, after which she runs to lock arms and sing anti-ceasefire songs with the Israel Lobby in front of the Israel Mission to encourage the (joint, US + Israel) military mission to bomb and bomb and bomb Lebanon, I must say, I am just a tad NOT surprised.

Again, mighty fine work, MM. (I'm dreaming, just a little, of multiple occasions of such fighting words in the flesh too, in town halls in NH ... and maybe even Iowa, for fuck's sake!)

Fighting words like this, shown on Democracy Now!: Clinton v Real Live Tough Questioners on Iraq/Iran in NH

(In honor of Harry Reid) snipple ... ;-)

AMY GOODMAN: Well, Roger Tilton [RT is the guy who confronted Clinton on IWR vote, shown often in msm clips], I want to thank you for being with us, as we turn now to another New Hampshire voter. Hillary Clinton has also said she would not rule out attacking Iran. She spoke earlier this month at a dinner organized by AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee here in New York.

SEN. HILLARY CLINTON: The regime's pro-terrorist, anti-American, anti-Israeli rhetoric only underscores the urgency of our response to the threat we face. US policy must be clear and unequivocal. We cannot, we should not, we must not permit Iran to build or acquire nuclear weapons. And in dealing with this threat, as I have said for a very long time, no option can be taken off the table.

But Iran is a threat not only because of the hateful rhetoric spewed by its president, not only because of its nuclear ambitions, but because it uses its influence and its revenues in the region to support terrorist elements that are attacking innocent Israelis, and now, we believe, attacking American soldiers.

AMY GOODMAN: Senator Hillary Clinton speaking February 1 at a dinner organized by AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Anne Miller is the director of New Hampshire Peace Action, also joining us from Manchester. Welcome to Democracy Now!, Anne.

ANNE MILLER: Thank you. Good morning.

AMY GOODMAN: Talk about your involvement now with these town hall meetings of Senator Clinton, of Barack Obama.

ANNE MILLER: Yeah, over the weekend Senator Clinton spoke in Berlin, Concord and Keene, and there were members of our community who were attending obviously all of those events. I went to hear Senator Clinton speak in Concord and was not called on during the meeting, but afterwards approached the Senator and asked her about the comments that she had made at the AIPAC meeting earlier in the week and asked her if she really would leave all options on the table and how could she threaten, in effect, other countries' children with nuclear genocide. [Oh, this is how we do it, Anne! xoxoxo] She looked me right in the eye, and she said, "No options are off the table. We cannot abide by a nuclear-armed Iran. It would be an existential threat to the United States."

And what I found really interesting in that comment, in that use of the word "existential," is that isn't a word that's used very much in US political discourse, but it is used in Israel's political discourse. And that's of deep concern to me that we have a Democratic presidential candidate who is a militarist of this nature and that she isn't coming out and saying we need strong diplomatic action with Iran, which is really the only answer. There are no military solutions with respect to Iran that I can see.

Ms Miller also confronted Obama at a deli stop re defunding the war NOW.

Good on you, Anne Miller, and all concerned citizens/activists who are going to these candidate events and attempting to not keep, but start to MAKE it REAL... Chapeaux!
