DOWNLOADS: (8) PLAYS: (39) Dave Neiwert and I have been writing a book for over two months now and in my research I discovered how easily manipulated movement conservatives from the 70's and 80's are when it comes to characters they see in film and television. It also extends to today, since we've seen how the torture scenes in 24 have also had an impact on right-wingers. I never believed...

Domestic terrorist

But he’s white, not Muslim, and a US citizen—like Timothy McVeigh, in fact. So there’s no interest in this sort of terrorist. Dave Neiwert reports at Crooks & Liars: Gee, for some reason, this story hasn’t managed to make it out of the local news and into the national headlines: CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio – Following a pipe [...]
