Joan Baez once wrote and sang, "They say that the war is done, but where are you now my son?"
That was back when she had integrity. Now she's just another whore for Barack Obama. Can't call out the ongoing wars. Can't call out Barack.
But she can whore. And there are so many more like her.
Check the ridiculous website for The Nation magazine. Watch as whores like Melissa Harris-Lacewell (Lieface Lacewell who whored on Pacifica and PBS in 2008 as she 'forgot' to disclose that she was working on Barack's campaign while appearing as an 'independent' analyst) and others try to distract you from the real issues in order to use you.
Melissa just a whore, a cheap whore, who wants to take the money in your wallet.
The Progressive's becoming no better.
Remember when Cindy Sheehan's protest was stopped last July in DC?
We were passed an e-mail exchange between a Progressive subscriber and Matthew Rothschild.
The subscriber asked for some coverage of Cindy and Matthew wrote about how he admired her and how there would be coverage. And? Guess what, boys and girls, he never got around to it. On far less grounds, in Bush Days, Matthew wrote up quick posts on how our liberties were in danger. In this case, the government was manufacturing a 'bomb' to shut down a protest.
Does anyone in so-called leadership have any fire in the belly?
Or are they all the cowards they appear to be?
The Iraq War hasn't stopped. AP could note that reality. David Sirota could note that reality. But The Progressive and The Nation can't? Can't? Try won't. Say hello to this decade's Armstrong Williamses.
