ALBANY, N.Y. - Cindy Sheehan, who became the face of anti-war sentiment after her son died in Iraq, urged foes of the war to thwart Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's political aspirations unless the New York Democrat opposes the conflict. "I believe that any candidate who supports the war should not receive our support," Sheehan said Tuesday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "It doesn't matter if they're Senator Clinton or whoever." Sheehan has become a de facto leader of the anti-war movement since she camped out near President Bush's Texas ranch while he vacationed there in August, requesting...

At 11:37 am this morning, I received an email from USC professor of law, Susan Estrich. After hearing Estrich discuss her new Hillary book with Sean Hannity on October 11, I was a little upset. Estrich was essentially calling our friend Juanita Broaddrick a liar. She had spoken with her friend Bill Clinton, and, of course, Bill denied that he raped Juanita. That was good enough for Estrich. Bill could lie to his wife, lie to his daughter, lie to his attorney, lie to his secretary, lie to reporters, lie to his cabinet, lie to the court, and lie to...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A man who is fighting to get the words "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance was back in federal court Wednesday, making some surprising comments about the case. Although the hearing was a procedural matter with no key rulings, Michael Newdow said that if he is successful in having the words removed from the pledge at the U.S. Supreme Court level, it still wouldn't be enough. Newdow believes that it is time to get rid of the old Pledge of Allegiance altogether. He said that it's impractical to just change the pledge because children will...

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, the California woman who has used her son's death in Iraq to spur the anti-war movement, is arrested by United States Park police outside the White House on Monday, Sept. 26, 2005 in

The Rolling Stones' upcoming album contains a song seemingly critical of President Bush, but Mick Jagger denies it's directed at him, according to the syndicated TV show "Extra." "It is not really aimed at anyone," Jagger said on the entertainment-news show's Wednesday edition. "It's not aimed, personally aimed, at President Bush. It wouldn't be called 'Sweet Neo Con' if it was." The song is from the new album, "A Bigger Bang," set for release Sept. 6. There is no mention of Bush or Iraq. But it does refer to military contractor Halliburton, which was formerly run by Vice President Cheney...

Ever hear of how republican's always call the liberal left "Whiner's"? Well, take a look at Wa. State, ...who are the Whiner's now? LOTS OF LAUGHS! Boy, the shoes on the other foot now! I think it's great, don't you? These people deserve it..! Has anyone seen the comedian on HBO, who gave a discription of a "Republican"? Wow was that great, and very very true.

The odds are very good that you are on drugs. Right now. This minute. As I type this and as you read this and as false Texas dictators rise and sad empires crumble and as this mad bewildered world spins in its frantically careening orbit, there's a nearly 50/50 chance that some sort of devious synthetic chemical manufactured by some massive and largely heartless corporation is coursing through your bloodstream and humping your brain stem and molesting your karma and kicking the crap out of your libido and chattering the teeth of your very bones. Maybe it's regulating your blood...

NEW YORK Leave it to syndicated columnist/cartoonist Ted Rall. While others on the left wonder if, and how, they should reach out to those in the "red states" to try to win more elections, the acerbic Rall is sticking to his guns as a proud blue stater. In his latest column, "Confessions of a Cultural Elitist," Rall declared, among much else, that "living in the sticks doesn't make you more American" and "by any objective standard, you had to be spectacularly stupid to support Bush." Rall, who grew up in what he calls "flyover" Ohio, adds, "if militant Christianist Republicans...

Britsh columnist Greg Palast, who fancies himself as a kind of Michael Moore for across the pond, insists in today's column that John Kerry won the majority of the vote in Ohio, and -- at least by his reckoning -- won the election.Palast tries to use CNN's exit polling data to justify his outlandish position, completely ignoring the actual counts from the state Secretary of State's office. He incredibly attempts to use the race card to further bolster his insane position.At 1:05 a.m. Wednesday morning, CNN's exit poll showed Kerry beating Bush among Ohio women by 53 percent to 47...

Just reported, mainly in Des Moines...elections officials called police as Moveon members were within the 300-foot limit harrassing voters. CNN just said that the GOP has also filed complaints in several states against Moveon for their tactics...Pa Freepers, please read this and help out if you can. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1264970/posts

Delray, Michigan (just outside of detriot) is the home of the wicked, crazy, thug clowns, the insane clown posse. The Whole World Practically knows something about these wicked clowns, and some have known for years that people want them to die. However, every time someone plans to murder them, something bad happens to the people and icp gets away. But just recently in the past 3 weeks a man paid another person to go to Violent J's house to murder both members. the man hid in a bush for about an hour as he saw Shaggy walk in to the...

"Mommy, make it go away!" That kind of pull-the-blanket-over-the-head denial was just on display from the youthful editor of the liberal New Republic. Judy Woodruff, of CNN's Inside Politics show, was interviewing three journalists about the McCain and Giuliani speeches. The theme was to look ahead to possible 2008 candidacies and to grade last night's speeches. Peter Beinart, the New Republic editor, went first. He gave Rudy a 'C,' claiming that as a mayor he had little foreign policy experience and that it showed in his speech. He gave McCain a 'B' for showing more foreign policy expertise. As an...

John Roughan: Pre-emption doctrine the flaw in Iraq mess 24.07.2004 COMMENT The peace movement is going to an early screening of Fahrenheit 9/11 this afternoon. I probably could have gone along. For a while now I have been receiving unsolicited invitations to all their rallies against the Iraq war and other American crimes, such as capitalism. But much as I am looking forward to the Michael Moore movie on the Bush presidency I don't want to see it with an uncritical chorus. The trouble with the peace movement - and all critics of the Iraq disaster so far - is...
