"And so with tens of millions following the story, Bush finds time each day for his trainer but not an hour to respond to a Gold Star Mom's simple request that he explain to her what he means by the words "noble cause." Before a national audience, Bush's motorcade zooms past Cindy on the way to a 2 million dollar barbeque fundraiser, literally leaving her in the dust. The arrogance of Bush, which is still invisible to many, is thus rendered palpably visible. The invisibility of his contempt for people like Cindy, for dissent - for citizenship, is not only made visible, but the gulf between the Bush promise of family values and accountability and their fulfillment has been explicitly laid bare."

Bill Orielly suggests that Cindy Sheehan is guilty of treason; another inane gem from the factor. The contempt people have for actual citizen action is amazing.

Democracy is a very scary thing for many people in America. Unless democracy means having a choice between where we buy our clothes.
