But I expect to be at some point. I was critical of Edwards for a lack of support for the two bloggers that had to quit (fired, let-go, resigned, whatever). With over 300 backbiting, knife-stabbing comments and a load of hate mail from Kossacks, I expected to get it then.

And I was actually very easy on Edwards. I am not a sycophant for anyone and if I think a candidate, especially one of our candidates, needs a kick in the pants, I will gladly perform that duty. If we don't, we get a replay of the 1994 Congressional elections.

I have this wierd theory that bloggers (and other journalists) are the Fourth Branch of Government. We ARE oversight. We have no voting power, but we have our voice and voice is a very powerful tool. So powerful it is the first thing fascism must silence - the right to free speech.

So the banning of folks over at Kos worries me. Yeah, some I am sure are warranted - spam diaries and such, but I have read some of the diaries of that got folks banned and I am at a loss. These were polite, well written and important. Some may disagree, but disagreement should not be a reason for banning.

Palestine is such a topic that seems to get a lot of folks booted. I would ask that everyone should keep an open mind about this issue. I would also like to recommend to everyone a film titled A Wedding In Ramallah.

And watch it with an open mind.

I saw that.

On the one hand it is good to see such passion so far out in advance of the primaries.  However, I think it is bad for such angry passion from the three camps, Clinton/Obama/Edwards for I fear that things will become so heated that the most fervid will boycott the winner, or go to some stupid third party if their candidate doesn't get the nod, and that is suicidal.

The focus must remian on repairing the nation following Bush, and ending the frivolous wars and concentrationg on a real solution to terrorism, both from without, and from within too.  We will not focus if we are screaming at each other about whose candidate is better.
