Tom Friedman's excellent notion of exposing the Muslim HateMongers is a good one....
But we should start here in the US, and in the US News Media.
The old liberal press is dead in America now ...everything in the US media is agenda driven and spin-oriented now.
AM Hate Radio and "Evangelical Politicians" continue to spew vicious nonsense and hate.
And the Republican Party has because our Unofficial Proto-Fascist Party of Hate and Fear in the US for the less intelligent. Why? Because it's easier to sell hate and fear than good public policy! It always has been!
LET'S START TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION PLANS ON THE WEST BANK...AND THE PLAN TO MAKE GAZA INTO A "PRISON STATE" FOR PALESTINIANS.
Let's tell the truth about the US Cold War Policies that supported dictators, like Saddam and Osama, to contain the Soviet Union.
Let's tell the truth about the role of Capital and Wealth in the US political and economic system.... Let's discuss the looting of workers pension funds and the budget destroying tax cuts for the rich, and the huge decline of Worker Rights.
ALL WE EVER HEAR ABOUT IS FREE TRADE AND THE RIGHTS OF CAPITAL TO MOVE ANYWHERE AND DO PRACTICALLY ANYTHING IT WANTS...LITTLE OR NOTHING ABOUT THE RIGHTS OF WORKERS AND ORDINARY PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
Let's tell the truth about our NEW ERA OF ROBBER BARRON CAPITALISM.
Let's tell the truth about our Korrupted Kongress, always on the take for BIGGER "campaign contributions."
Let's tell the truth about the Likud plan to NEVER allow a viable Arab state in Old Biblical Israel...
YES, TOM, TRUTH TELLING IS A GOOD THING. A VERY GOOD THING. WHEN DO WE START?
BUT, TRUTH TELLING BEGINS BEST AT HOME..... CAN WALL STREET AND WASHINGTON AND THE NEW YORK TIMES HANDLE IT? I DON'T THINK SO....
