"Bush, Cheney and company took us into some very, very dark places after 9/11, and the detention of hundreds of innocent people solely on the basis of their race or religion is just the tip of the iceberg of what the Bush administration did.
They lied us into illegal wars that killed thousands of Americans and millions of Iraqis and Afghan civilians. They also tortured terrorism suspects, many of whom turned out to be innocent, in violation of international and US law.
Oh yeah, and they also created the Guantánamo Bay detention center, which, to this day, remains one of the best recruitment tools in the world for groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS."

BuzzFeed writer McKay Coppins attended the rally for the GOP presidential candidate and real estate mogul, reporting from the Westgate Hotel and Resort. Coppins posted video of a black protester being roughed up, with a supporter shouting, “Light that motherf*cker on fire!”

Democrat Loretta Sanchez channels Trump, says 'five to 20 percent' of Muslims are terrorists
Orange County Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez—who is running for Barbara Boxer’s Senate seat in 2016—has a history of racially insensitive remarks. Time to add another one, in an interview she did yesterday with CNN’s Larry King regarding the threat of terrorism.
We know that there is a small group, and we don’t know how big that is—it can be anywhere between 5 and 20%, from the people that I speak to—that Islam is their religion and who have a desire for a caliphate and to institute that in any way possible.
I don’t know who the people Loretta Sanchez “speaks to” are, but five to 20 percent of Muslims would mean anywhere from 80 to 400 million terrorists.
No credible expert on ISIS would ever come close to that figure, so she is fearmongering like Donald Trump. That’s offensive from a Republican, and even worse from a Democrat.
But Sanchez cannot simply write this off as a math gaffe. She has a history of racially insensitive comments.
Earlier this year at a gathering of East Indian delegates at the California Democratic Convention, she jokingly told a story about confusing East Indians with Native Americans—and followed up by imitating the war whoop (see video.)
At the time, our political director David Nir speculated that Sanchez may drop out of the race—where she is already the underdog against Attorney General Kamala Harris. But now, Sanchez has even outdone herself.
Really no big surprise....best way to stir HATE!
It's called Guerrilla Internet Tactics. These tactics are employed by the Rightwing: Republicans, Teabaggers and Libertarians. They go to places like Amazon.com...

Woah! Think Beijing is smog-choked? Well NYC used to be just as bad. Many Americans have forgotten just how smoggy many of our cities were until Nixon signed the Clean Air Act in 1970. It took some time to really get off the ground, but its positive effects today are crystal clear. So why then do the Koch brothers and the Republican Tea Party want to take us back to a time before sensible air pollution controls?
