112. I got my copy of The Stealth Coup
Edited on Thu Sep-18-03 11:30 AM by IkeWarnedUs
Quite an impressive body of work.

I don't know that it would satisfy Birthmark's criteria for two reasons.

1. It isn't "free from agressive language". I don't mean that as a critisism, but I think I understand what Birthmark means. It is obvious in the way it is written that the author doesn't like Bush and the people surrounding him. Its hard to write about these guys and what they are up to and not let a little agression slip out. It is a well documented argument and pretty convincing, but I think someone like Birthmark could try to dismiss it by saying the author has her own agenda.

2. I don't think Birthmark is ready to accept LIHOP no matter what argument anyone gives.

Which illustrates my point. Some people just can't bring themselves to admit what the evidence shows.


On edit: I want to make clear that I am not saying The Stealth Coup is biased or slanted. Just that I anticipate Birthmark would be put off by what he (she?) called agressive language. It isn't written like an encyclopedia entry. I encourage anyone trying to understand LIHOP to get a copy from LunaC.
