Republican= Selling Hate, Fear Mongering, Corruption

The ugliness and the hate:

Between Michelle Malkin Swift Boating a traumatically injured 12-year-old boy, Rush Limbaugh denigrating anti-war veterans, and Bill O'Reilly insulting black Americans (not to mention Ann Coulter dissing Jews), the mighty right-wing media machine -- firmly attached to the hip of the Republican Party -- is in the process of driving American conservatism right off a cliff. The loudmouths whom conservatives have supported for years, and whom Republican politicians have used for political gain, have become increasingly unhinged. And their recent public antics are drawing more and more disbelieving stares.
With the Bush administration in a state of prolonged decline and with Republicans out of power on Capitol Hill, it's the right-wing media machine that maintains the highest profile among conservatives on a daily basis. And it's Malkin and Limbaugh and O'Reilly who have become the face of the Republican Party. more at Media Matters

The corruption:

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is pushing $25 million in earmarked federal funds for a British defense contractor that is under criminal investigation by the U.S. Justice Department and suspected by American diplomats of a "longstanding, widespread pattern of bribery allegations."

McConnell tucked money for three weapons projects for BAE Systems into the defense appropriations bill, which the Senate approved Oct. 3. The Defense Department failed to include the money in its own budget request, which required McConnell to intercede, said BAE spokeswoman Susan Lenover.

BAE is based in Great Britain but has worldwide operations, including a Louisville facility that makes naval guns and employs 322. McConnell has taken at least $53,000 in campaign donations from BAE's political action committees and employees since his 2002 re-election. United Defense Industries, which BAE purchased two years ago, pledged $500,000 to a political-science foundation the senator created, the McConnell Center at the University of Louisville.

In June, BAE confirmed that the Justice Department is investigating possible corruption in its Saudi Arabian deals. According to British media reports, BAE set up a slush fund with hundreds of millions of dollars in a Washington, D.C., bank to bribe Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan in order to win weapons contracts. Bandar, who heads the Saudi National Security Council, has denied the allegation.

BAE cannot discuss the allegation, Lenover said.

BAE and McConnell
Note: BAE is one of the many companies I mentioned in my Fox video below of Corporations lining the pockets of republicans and Bush's presidency and in turn making billions off the Iraq war.

Also google "war profiteering". Start here with 'Iraq for Sale', taking a look at Blackwater, just one of many companies that were about to go under and suddenly grew billions in profits due to the war....

Ma'am, don't let your children grow up to be Republicans

Update: 10/16/07

I found more details of this saga here

The ugliness, the blood thirsty deranged hate of the right wing tools who are running over this (once great) nation with their Nazi-like tactics to force their agenda and warped christian and political values on the rest of us.

The S Chip

The Democratic Congress attempted to pass a bill for funding the S-Chip with $35 million instead of the $5 million Bush wants. The Commander in Chief has vetoed the bill, spreading false information to his bush sheep in the media. At the same time he asked for $200 billion (more) funds for the war that will send us over the trillion $$ point . The Congress is going to attempt to override Bush's veto, they have the votes in the Senate but not the house at the moment.

When the Frost family allowed their son to give the Democratic radio address supporting the S-Chip when it helped his family out during his illness, the right wing went after the Frost family with blood on their tongues and nails in their nostrils. Hate mongering right wing bloggers like Michelle Malkin stalked the family, investigated them, and released their home address on the internet for every crazed right winger to see and possibly cause great harm to this family. The Frost's were caught off guard by the blood thirsty right wing rage attacks but said they won't back down for their support of the S-Chip funding.

Bush has just sent out a warning to Congress using a media blitz all in an attempt to make Dem's look bad and to feed his sheep showing he's been a idiot tough president.
