Someone should point out that, among those who matter, AlterNet doesn't even exist.

I would say that's true even among people who don't matter. ;-)

Well, it's true.

Fox is far too liberal... :-p

I always thought if you were registered to vote and willing to vote, you kinda mattered.

But then, I don't read Alternet.

Judging by the comments posted below that jeremiad most mental institions have now become Internet-accessible.

I'm not agreeing with the article in total but the part about how the smear machine works is pretty accurate.

F__K FOX!
Rumple-Pervert
And
The FAUX NEWS WHORES! He rode in on!
Fascist Pigs!
One and all.

The system is terribly broken!
It has been co-opted by Fascists!
Billionaires are US!
They’re running ruff shod on the American People!
Ruining this Country!
Stealing everything!
Unlimited wealth brings unlimited problems!
For the Citizenry.

First of all,
The Wealth belongs to the Citizens. Not THE FASCISTS!That’s everyone!
Technology is a tool,
Used by them, against us,
To rule!
It is released periodically.
Under the control of system handlers.
The trump card (weapons) kept secret,
For an emergency:
Insurrection.

Without followers,
There is no system.
Without workers,
There is no King.
The system has to brought into the future!
With us.
Redefined in modern terms.
Taking into account current technology trends.
And use them for the benefit of all.
Since the beginning of modern history.
War has been a plague on humanity.
End it.
Socialism Now!

We are only doing as good as:
The least amongst us is!
This is our Judge.
A living wage!
Full employment!
Health Care!
A clean environment!
Renewable resources.
End outsourcing!
Eliminate privatization! (and CRapitalism)Nationalize American energy resources!
This is just a start.
Build on this!
With your own recommendations!

Personal wealth has to be eliminated for the common good.
Greed is a negative human trait that will be purged from the system,
For the renewal to begin.
We must look at the bigger picture!
Which includes humanity as a whole. FUCK PRIVATE PROPERTY!
We are all related
We come from a common ancestor.
We all are children of the creator.
Springing forth from universe.
The Mother Earth nourishes us.
Brother and Sisters alike.
Taking no preference!
All treated equally!
This is the pattern.
Let’s use it!
With a common goal!
To live in Peace and Harmony
Working for the betterment of all!
And END RACISM!!!!

Gerard,

After TP's post, I think I'll have to agree with you.

Since True Patriot is against the concept of private property, maybe he will do us all a favor by forfeiting his computer.

Karol, I like your satire troll up there. He brings teh funny.
