Theocracy Now! At the Value Voters Summit 2007

Max Blumenthal takes us on another shocking trip to the far shores of the Christian right, this time to the 2007 Value Voters Summit. Starring Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani (momentarily in drag), James Dobson, "Lucky Lou" Sheldon, Star Parker, Phyllis Schlafly, Frank Gaffney, and many more of the wingers we know and don't necessarily love.

"Mao Tse tung and ... Stalin .. murdered millions"

And the United States, under the banner of "fighting communism" has also murdered millions. The Vietnam War is but a single example.

William Blum, in his book 'Killing Hope,' details the horrors America has visited upon the world in the name of "spreading democracy." Assassinations, influencing elections, support for dictators who butcher their own people, etc. And lets not leave out the murder of Americans such as Wesley Everett (RIP).

Better than a werner herzog documentary. It's neat to see them in their cesspool habitat.

Regarding Huckabee on abortion : you could say the same thing about all the miscarried fetuses over the years . Who knows what they could have been or done ?

[drnickyp]

even if these bigots represent less than 1% of americans (though i am sure they are more representative) then america is quite quite insane and what moderate liberals there may be left need to urgently find a cure!

Huckabee is a dangerous idiot

[steelersguy74]

Two questions:

1) Why were these people acting so persecuted when their preferred president had been in office for 6+ years at that point?

2) Wouldn't a guy like Huckabee really be secretly happy if a potential future college professor had been aborted?

I don't think thats a fair comparison

Were they really atheist? Most radical dictatorships try to place the leader as some form of "God" through propaganda.

fasting: Don't eat and you won't get food poisoning

catatonia: Don't move and you won't pull a mucsle

Deafness: Plug you're ears and you won't hear any bad arguments.

Blindness: Close you're eyes and you won't see anything offensive.

Not so. It may take centuries. I don't see a phoenix rising from the ashes. I see a country whose goose is cooked.
