Actually she's more of a Stalinist--Marx was true to his beliefs and died in utter poverty.

But isn't it rather ironic that some of the best capitalists are really Socialist/Communist (i.e. George Soros, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Rockefeller, Spielberg, etc.)

actually it goes by what space is available. If there is no room in the minimum prisons, she goes where space is available. Not a good thing.

She did not say this. Read her quote again.

We've got devil-spawn al-Qaida members in the United States and this is how our government occupies its time? What a waste of taxpayer money. What she did was hardly worth prison time; she should've gotten a slap on the wrist and that's it. Those Enron jerks, who pilfered millions (if not billions), probably won't get as much prison time as Martha. This whole thing was a farce, a witchhunt.

Even before I realized this was posted by one of our British brethren, the thought crossed my mind that the only appropriate comment I could think of to describe Martha's comments were "What a bloody loon!"

She might even be able to qualify for a more open type unit that allows the inmates to prepare and cook their own meals, with very little supervision. Bet you didn't know that happened in prisons did yuh??

Usually someone brings up an expression from Monty Python, i.e., "She's off her chump". ;)

The saddest thing of all is to hear Rush, Sean, and Mark Levin asking why she was persecuted.....poor Martha.....there are so many other criminals who deserve to be prosecuted...blah blah blah.......

"Considering John Kerry as well, I quite agree."

LOL

Like the other three, Kerry is boring.

It's his constant lying while campaigning that keep me pissed enough to listening to what he says.

After the election, he will be forced into the obscurity he enjoyed as a member of Congress. Then when he bloviates, as his drunken mentor Kennedy does, only voters in Massachusetts, will have to bow their heads.

I'm a big fan of the 60's women groups. I especially liked Martha and the Mandelas...

I find it's easier to read his speeches than to listen to him. Even then, it's for when I'm having trouble sleeping.

After the election, he will be forced into the obscurity he enjoyed as a member of Congress.

Hopefully he'll be forced into the role of being Teresa's puppy boy rather than returning to representative government.

I'm sure it'll be club fed. She's not exactly a behavioral nuisance, and does not have a cluster of problems prisons have trouble dealing with.

I am anxiously awaiting what will come from her though. After the Mandela comparison, Nelson Mandela was put into prison for insider trading on his cell phone on a trip to Mexico, right?

Or maybe she is going to write letters from her cell like Martin Luther King. I can see it now, Martha writing about her civil rights efforts, the denials, and the trials of being a model, and a corporate dictator.

It's a tough life, but "It's a good thing!"

She is a political prisoner. Our government thugs(Federal Persecutor's) have managed to imprison 1 out of 33 adults. One of their favorite targets are achievers with the other being young poor blacks. The achievers are high value targets and the young blacks have no money to defend themselves with.

Nelson Mandela is just not all that much of a saint. He was operating with a cunning and ruthless agenda, never intending to make any compromise with the Afrikaans who were the majority among the white minority that at one time was in charge of the country. He took a relatively prosperous and mostly law-abiding nation down into chaos and nearly to civil war. The majority of the violence in South Africa was not between whites and blacks, but between two competing bands of blacks, each determined to carry out genocide on each other. Only the complete capitulation of all the rest of the tribal groups, and promises of full sovereignty for Nelson Mandela's faction, averted the reality of what is happening right now in Rwanda and the Sudan.

South Africa does not have a popularly elected representative government, any more than Nazi Germany in 1933. Only the skin color is different.
