Is my Tin-foil hat on too tight?
All day long, I've been bothered by the familiarity of this bizzaare pro-Bush coverage. Then, I remembered; it was like this the last time we were at Orange Alert. At the time, Duers seemed to think this was the result of The Shadow Government being activated. That's when it hit me; the cities involved in the current Orange alert just so happen to be where the major media broadcasts. The three networks are all in NY, CNN broadcasts a lot from D.C., and MSNBC broadcast from New Jersey. So, I'm thinking that just possibly they used this Alert to take over the media, effectively suppressing any pro-Kerry coverage...

So, is my Tin-Foil hat on too tight???

5. There was a time when
it would have been more than a little nutty to think like that but Bush* and gang have proved that this is just some good thinking today.

I actually think in the same way when 10 years ago I would never have dreamed this happened-we are all living in this right wing nightmare-I truly believe the press is now a corporate beast whose interest is to solely protect the establishment-so tighten up your hat-you have company because I now wear one too

8. Got my hat on too.
I just wish there were some balls in DC that would stand up and say this is BULLSHIT AND WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE. This has to be against some law, like the one where you yell FIRE in a theater, or must at the very least be treason. Hell, even Scarborough is questioning whether the alert should be trusted. WTF

9. If even Scarborough is questioning whether politics *could* be involved
you know that something rather tin foilish is going on...

10. It actually could explain what
I am seeing on my TV. I think you have a very viable theory. I wonder what would happen if DUers confronted the media schills about this? Perhaps some would confess--or change their ways if they knew that they had been caught red-handed.....

11. This crap freaks me out.
I'm pulling my tin-foil hat down over my head and hiding until November 2nd. Then I'll vote and Kerry will be our new president. Period.

Seriously, it does make an awful lot of sense. When you start connecting the dots, I believe Karl Rove has a few different motives here. You know, kill 2 birds with one stone. (The stone being the terror alert, of course.)

12. I now keep a hat on my head
one on my genitals, one in the closet, and one in the trunks of the cars. I also keep the material available to self-manufacture one on a moments notice.

That is what * has caused me to do. No fear, but a hell of a lot of fighting against lies and insanity.
