7. I understand the importance
But the thing at this point is to get Kerry elected.

And the problem is that you can be perfectly correct about what someone is doing, and sound perfectly nuts trying to explain it. Witness the neo-con agenda.

We don't want the masses discounting the story of Bush/Nazis as just one more smear. That will make it harder to get the story out, ever. It will become one of those shadowy things that certain people believe and others discount as paranoid partisanship.

It is an important story, but not for the campaign. We will need to try and get it out when the Right Wing has less of a stranglehold on the media. Do you realize what they would do to a story like that at this point?

I hold out hope that if Kerry is elected, then the fascist aura of the media will start to fade. We need to get the Rove machine out of office first.

Does that make any sense? I know it's got to be frustrating. But I don't think anyone here is saying it's NOT an important story. But it's also not a good campaign tool for the moment. It would just blow the top off of two many heads, and then they'd stop listening altogether. People are already numb as it is this campaign season.

Anyway, God bless you. We won't forget.
