100% Unauthorized from behind the news!

Using the 1992 presidential election as his springboard, documentary filmmaker Brian Springer captures the behind-the-scenes maneuverings of politicians and newscasters in the early 1990s. Pat Robertson banters about “homos,” Al Gore learns how to avoid abortion questions, George Bush talks to Larry King about halcyon — all presuming they’re off camera.

Hate-America is a baseless mania?

Hate-America is a baseless mania. No?

Where do you get your information?

Haven’t you heard of legalized torture? It was passed within the last year in the US, in response to accusations against the US military. See http://www.google.com/search?q=legalized+torture

The Bush Doctrine specifically calls for preemptive military force, and the US has used preemptive force at least as far back as the 1820’s under John Quincy Adams. They regularly stick their noses into situations that don’t involve defense of the US.

There are numerous cases of private property being seized and handed over to other private parties. For example, http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4715674. I’d say this almost by definition is without due process.

There are numerous other examples. The IRS can seize your assets without even a hearing. The state of Virginia can create a tax judgment against you AS THOUGH there had been a court case, even when there wasn’t.

“Hate-America” might be a mania, but it is certainly not baseless.
