Ten to one this is a fake, put up by some Republican.
Maybe some unscrupulous Democrat will answer by building a site called 'Nazis for Bush'.
But what do you think you have proven now?

That was my first reaction M-A-D but I think its more likely to be an elaborate joke. I have seen some rather crude attempts on various Newsgroups to smear Ralph Nader by association.
I despair of you Bimmercat. I doubt if there are any Marxists regularly posting on this forum. But that's just your very naive/crude attitude to anyone who is rather less right-wing than you.

weeellllll...because we are all affected by what happens in the most powerful country the world has ever seen.

for instance, a documentary by john pilger was aired on network television last night, in which he laid bare the cruel and inhumane treatment of the chagos islanders by successive british governments.

don't worry, i'm not blaming the yanks! far from it - we, the british are as culpable as it is possible to be. neverthless, the other protagonist in this shameful episode was indeed the good ol' us of a and this is but one example of how our relationship with your country affects the way in which we conduct ourselves at home and on the world stage.

like you, i consider myself to be a patriot but acknowledging the bad which my country does, along with the good (which, admittedly, john pilger isn't quite so hot on), is all part-and-parcel of caring about my homeland. to that end, there is no escaping the fact that when america sneezes we are as likely to end up catching a nasty dose of the flu.

this isn't being anti-american - most of my music and dvd (non-porno) collections are comprised of american artists (current fave 'blossom dearie') - but it is anti-abuse of power, which is also an american thing, isn't it?

I don't think they teach politics in school in the US anymore. Really - if you knew even the slightest thing about Marxism you'd realise how hilarious that sounds.
