When Media Silence Is Preferable


Donald Rankin III
Message Donald Rankin III

I virtually never watch the so-called news on Cleveland's WOIO channel 19/WUAB channel 43, but today (June 13th) I did catch Bill Applegate's editorial calling Dennis Kucinich a "sanctimonious show-off" and his Articles of Impeachment "meaningless" and "silly."  (I would have pasted the text of it here, but who wants to be sued?)

If you're up for it, register on their website and send ol' Bill a note of -ahem-  appreciation.  I certainly did.

(Just click here if you're going to write your own, and of course please write yours before reading mine below.)

Are you a fool Mr. Applegate, or do you take the rest of us for fools? Your assessments of Dennis Kucinich and our needs couldn’t be more wrong. There’s nothing “meaningless” or “silly” about his impeachment resolutions, and the ignorance you’re purveying harms us ALL! Factoring all costs, what could benefit Cleveland more than preventing more catastrophic war?! The unemployment and “skyrocketing fuel costs” you cite as bigger problems are neither Cleveland‘s own nor Kucinich‘s fault; but they continue to be intensified by Bush’s wrong-wing economics and murderous international crimes! Furthermore, FOR BUSH & CHENEY’S ACTIONS OUTSIDE IT, OUR CONSTITUTION DEMANDS THEIR IMPEACHMENT, and because our liar-in-chief and his conspirators are planning to attack yet another nation which doesn’t materially threaten us, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! The only sure way to prevent a repetition of the Iraqi disaster in Iran is to hold the Bush mob accountable for disasters it’s already wrought, and to do it NOW! We mustn’t wait for the next election, lie, disaster, or war. This is about the rule of law and timely enforcement - the road to justice and healing, and it's about restoring our civil liberties, government checks and balances, and indeed, our decreasingly free and democratic republic. Kucinich is not one bit a “sanctimonious show-off,” but a TRUE AMERICAN HERO, rising above the corrupted fray to fulfill his sworn oath to the Constitution of the United States of America!
