Stay Gold

Senator Russell Feingold (D-WI), our choice for President in 2008, spoke out yesterday against the Bush administration's use of dangerous language in the War On Terror. He implored them not to use the words 'Islamic fascism', as it is not only inaccurate but also needlessly inflammatory.

"Fascist ideology doesn't have anything to do with the way global terrorist networks think or operate, and it doesn't have anything to do with the overwhelming majority of Muslims around the world who practice the peaceful teachings of Islam," Feingold said in a speech to the Arab-American Institute.

In just a few short minutes, he sounded almost ridiculously thoughtful and reasonable relative to his colleagues, especially the current occupants of White House.

As if to underscore the point, Bush gave a speech the same day, in which he once again compared Osama bin Laden to Hitler and Lenin.
