To which I responded, "well, for order for us to end war by your standards, we would all have to kill ourselves."

I dont blame the DDN for it, its about revenue for them. The readers themselves should easily be able to figure out what its all about. I knew right away when I saw "fund" in the provided by section well this is political trash. They are also coming through the US Mail. My wife received a copy today in the mail.

That is just a fact. I think you should pay attention to these people - but you don't have to fear them on a day to day basis. I know AIDS exists, I am scared of AIDS but not people with AIDS, I realize the potential disasters that exist with AIDS, but I can separate a fear of something on a day to day basis yet still know it exists. I don't have to hate it, I just have to accept it and move on. There are a lot of people who want Americans dead. That is just a fact.

"Though we would like to think differently, there really are evil people who spend all their time thinking and planning the destruction of American men, women and children. While Christians and Jews are primary targets, these very bad terrorists do not discriminate in their desire to kill and destroy anyone who does not believe as they do. For our enemy, this is a cultural war, this is a religious war, this is a necessary war. Radical, militant Muslims have declared war on America." This could be like a "mad lib" for propaganda! Just replace "terrorist" and "Muslim" with "Christian", and "Christian" and "jew" with "non-Christians" and "homosexuals". Or any other groups! I also enjoy the "these very bad terrorists" line - those bad, naughty terrorists! Use your big words, brain washing machine! Oh wait, multiple syllables will confuse and scare the slower members of your flock :( From the official website…

Remember when NEWSpapers represented accounts of events? Punctuation was used (properly), the correct words were used and spelled correctly, sentences actually made sense. Sigh. Does this make me an old codger to want to read a paper that tells me responsibly what is going on in the world? So now, not only does the only paper in town present our children with unholy examples of writing, but they have ceased to be conveyors of observed events and have now placed themselves squarely at the feed trough of right-wing propaganda. Should anyone think I'm just noticing this situation, I'm not. I'm extraordinarily grumpy at having just returned to the city in time to enjoy being the last in the area to get my power back on. So being powerless to do anything about that, I'm whining about the continued spiral down (to about the seventh level) of the fifth estate.

Fight fire with fire. After a few beers I have started to tell people that when I am 40 we will be fighting a new religious world war. Can't you just feel it coming? Side note: Dr. Norma Shepaleck at Wright St. told me back in 2002 that the second great depression would happen in the next 5 years. Her prediction was based on social inequality data. Well 12 years or so after the first great depression a world war was fought. What a future to look forward to. “They” also have a system of propaganda that is used to create anti-west/U.S. sentiment….well kind of like putting DVD’s in a newspaper. Fight fire with fire.

DDN should not be involved. indy dist./freedom should apply. It was bs - but so is a lot of stuff. they should send it via us mail rather than DDN. People hate us. A lot of " us " hate people. decide to tolerant, or toiletrant. 9/11 is still one of the biggest wuss deals of all time. Fudge, an AB could get rid of a million times what they did, it is just a game (of sorts) They hate us. They hate Jews. They hate Dayton. They hate the Buckeyes. They probably like Michigan. 'nuff said. i watched it. it was not that bad. DDN should not be involved. indy dist./freedom should apply.

People hate us. A lot of ” us ” hate people. decide to tolerant, or toiletrant. 9/11 is still one of the biggest wuss deals of all time. Fudge, an AB could get rid of a million times what they did, it is just a game (of sorts)

They hate us. They hate Jews. They hate Dayton. They hate the Buckeyes. They probably like Michigan. ’nuff said.

Would (or will) DDN distribute racist propaganda against Jews, blacks, the disabled, women, homosexuals, Catholics, Buddhists, Lutherans? It is truly sickening how Islam has become "fair game" for hate-mongerers. I deeply resent that the DDN brought this DVD to my house, where it might be viewed by my impressionable teenage son, and I intend to make my displeasure known not only to them, but also to their regular advertisers. How can I support Elder Beerman, Target, Kroger etc. when they support a newspaper that distributes this kind of hateful, racist and discriminatory material? Further, freedom of expression has its limits. Isn't inciting hatred of a particular people or group now considered a hate <i>crime? </i> Perhaps some ambitious DA ought to look into this.
