Re: [Marxism] Bush outlawing homosexual drama...

["Eli Stephens" <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You know, I love the Guardian, but they hurt themselves running this kind of
headline. This article is about a bill in the ALABAMA STATE LEGISLATURE that
is being proposed and the fact that its author is meeting with Bush. The
headline not only implies that Bush himself supports this bill, about which
there is no evidence whatsoever, but actually suggests that it is already in
place, which is absurd.

Of course, criticizing Bush for failing to denounce this clown, or even with
meeting with him, is perfectly appropriate. The headline should read "Bush
meets with anti-gay bigot." But it doesn't.

Perhaps I'm particularly sensitive about this, because of the big flap
locally where the right-wing is raising a big stink over the totally
fraudulent claim that Cupertino schools have banned the teaching of the
Declaration of Independence (see
<http://lefti.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_lefti_archive.html#110254378039981677>),
but please, lets not go down that path and spread these kind of untruths.
Hasn't Bush actually done enough bad things to criticize?
