You shouldn't buy into the whole "FOX News right wing conspiracy" thing.

Murdoch has personally contributed crazy money to Clinton's campaign and the entity of NewsCorp is the 6th largest contributer to her funds.

It's all a game their playing and looks like you just took the bait.

It's like if Burger King and McDonald's were owned by the same guy. Create some artificial feud to rally the fanboys and in the end it doesn't matter if you went with McDonald's or BK because the same thing happens in the end. Somebody gets your money and you get a sloppy sandwich cooked under a heat lamp.

ON WHALLEY: You are spot on!! Finally, someone who recognizes the fraud of the split between the two corporates parties, both of which support the Pro-Free Trade, Pro-Globalization, ruling class agenda in the end. The issues they disagree on are cultural, and intentional, in order to divide the masses, and give the allusion of democracy and opposition.

Bravo, ON WHALLEY.

If you recall Paul, the first time we spoke, and I realized you co- wrote the book, I told you I actually bought ten copies after I read it, and sent it to people I know. That was the truth! I am glad to see it will be getting a boost in exposure.

In case Paul spoke to fast for you, here's a link to Karen Olsen's website, the Elm City murder mystery writer he plugs.

Paul, I'm glad you touted your own book. I never would have learned of it through Hannity.

That weekend has always been a mystery to me, one I have received conflicting reports on (including people who swore that they saw me here). Assuming, correctly, that my brother would have a role, I stayed away.

Just last week I wrote to a cousin, "He (my brother, Don) is responsible for his heroic, earnest restraint in New Haven. Just as I chose not to come here that weekend, though Ray (an ex-Vietnam Vet former roommate of mine) and others of my friends did so."

"My motto was, I would not allow a civil war to break out simply because one (brother) wore blue jeans and the other wore green fatigues, but they were both named Gray, and they got mad at each other."

I certainly did hear about police violence and about the bombing of the Yale Whale, but it does seem tame compared with what might have occured.

As far as On Whalley's and NHGreen's observations go, is this news?

Still, if the administration and Fox can cherry pick facts, we should be able to cherry pick candidates from those corporate parties who most represent views we share or with whom we feel we can fairly negotiate, as well as promote new talent from other sources.
