Thank you to our ninja trIzlam for bringing this to the attention of the politricksters.

The New York Times’ piece on Cuba’s “Cyber-Rebels” suggests a very new type of revolution going on in the socialist nation. The technological advances of the 21st century have, apparently, proved to be quite trying for Cuba’s government. The island nation has major restrictions on internet access  (which is not widely available to the public) and has a press that is strongly regulated by the state. As a result, Cubans are going cyber to get and spread information that may be considered sensitive [read: unacceptable] by the government. One such instance of unsanctioned information was the result of a recent confrontation between students and the president of Cuba’s National Assembly, Ricardo Alarcon, in the form of video footage. The video can be seen below. A situation like this rightly begs the question: what will the information age do to/for Cuba?

I Am Scared of This Man

Thanks, as always, to TPM for making this frightening clip of McCain and his evangelical endorser. McCain is getting a press pass in accepting John Hagee’s support. Hagee is known to have linked Catholicism with Nazi fascism, and referred to it as “the Great Whore.”

Hagee has also claimed the creation of independent Palestinian and Israeli states would bring terrorists to America because of our immigration policy. I know, it makes loads of sense. Just watch:

I don’t know if this would have been an issue at all if Barack hadn’t gotten hit hard by the Mrs. William Clinton and the press for not rejecting and denouncing Louis Farrakhan‘s support. But for what it’s worth, this man has no business being recognized for supporting a presidential candidate other than to create a buzz.

Hillary Blasts Obama

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivkHVlVtlFQ&feature=related[/youtube]

Shame on you!

Sorry Hillary, but angry or not – and ‘in the right’ or not – you need to not be on camera looking all angry like that. AND you sound like an old lady…

Senator Clinton’s latest attempt to derail Barack Obama comes after his camp released ‘campaign literature’ that Clinton claims is spreading lies about her positions on healthcare and NAFTA. Namely that she thought NAFTA was a good idea/success, and that her healthcare plan will require you to pay for coverage [statements which both appear to be true].
Clinton is using this as an attempt to fuel her campaign going in to another debate against Obama – coming up in Ohio in March – saying she wants to meet in Ohio ‘to have a debate about [Barack's] tactics and [his] behavior in this campaign’. Funny, I thought debates were supposed to be about policies, plans for the country, international relations, all that ‘leader of the free world’ junk…

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said his campaign looked forward “to having a debate this Tuesday on the facts, and the facts are that Sen. Clinton was a supporter of NAFTA and the China permanent trade treaties until this campaign began. ”

“And she herself has said that under the Clinton health care plan, she would consider ‘going after the wages‘ of Americans who don’t purchase health insurance, whether they can afford it or not,” he added[via CNN].

And then Barack responded:

Seems a lot like Hillary has realized that in a race that basically comes down to ‘who does the American public LIKE better’ [since their political stances are so similar], she’s losing the popularity contest. Funny thing about that – this is where Obama’s promise of ‘change’ holds true, as he doesn’t reduce his campaign to political mudslinging and name calling. I mean, c’mon Hil – you’re really comparing him to Karl Rove because his campaign released a flier that describes your healthcare plan the same way that you do? And reports your stance on NAFTA? You’re giving him too much credit – and forgetting your own positions.

Nader Enters the Race

Not to be left out of this presidential election, Ralph Nader has announced that he will be entering the 2008 contest for the oval office.

Viewed by many as a spoiler in the 2000+2004 elections, Nader thinks of himself as a serious candidate who will push issues that the Republicans tend to marginalize, and on which the Democrats are ‘too cautious’ to take a serious stance.

“I’d go after Bush even more vigorously as we are in the next few months in ways that the Democrats can’t possibly do because they’re too cautious and too unimaginative, but they can pick up the vulnerabilities and the failures of the Bush administration that we point out,” Nader said Monday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Nader rejects the spoiler label as a “contemptuous” term used by those who want to deny voters a choice. Declaring Washington a “corporate-occupied territory,” he accuses both Democrats and Republicans of being dominated by corporate lobbyists who care little about the needs of ordinary Americans [via MSNBC].

‘Contemptuous’ or not, in a tight political race such as the 2000 elections [when Bush lost to Al Gore], Nader was the deciding factor in a number of states – where Bush beat Gore by a narrow margin that would’ve been covered by those votes for Ralph. While Nader believes this election should be a ‘landslide’ for the democrats, I think we can all agree that after the 2000 elections we know that anything is possible.

Here’s a video, released after the NH primaries, in which Nader voices his opinions on the [then] remaining 2008 hopefuls:

Regardless of whether you believe Nader is right about Washington, and the problems with our two-party electoral system [and I mean, let's be real - of course he's right], the fact remains that this is a two-party country that barely bothers to learn about politricks – and instead simply choses a side. Those of us willing to consider candidates based on merit and actual policies/views instead of party lines are both in the minority, and [seemingly] a little too far left to vote republican [most of the time]. This effectively splits a democratic party, at some point – that the majority of republicans already believe is too ‘liberal’ – by providing an entirely valid candidate who responds to the needs/desires of many ‘liberals’ who would, by default, vote democrat. It’s a shitty reality, but the reality nonetheless – sorry Ralphie.

The Republicans, of course, will be backing Nader’s candidacy:

“I think it always would probably pull votes away from the Democrats and not the Republicans, so naturally, Republicans would welcome his entry into the race,” Huckabee said Sunday on CNN [via].

Reagan says

I’d like start offering you ninjas some clips from the father of American neo-conservatism: Ronald Wilson Reagan. His legacy is remarkable. I think it is important to your ninja status that you understand what his administration stood for and what his aims were. He is the most important figure in Conservative thought as we understand it today. Think what you will of him, but understand his politics.

All I have to say about this video is that it’s hilarious – Iraq withdrawal date: 12,008? My Ninjas, PLEASE!

From the makers of the video:

Will.i.am totally stole this idea from us, we’ve been thinking for a long time that earnest people reacting to a candidate is the future of music video.

Unfortunately, all the people who would care that these celebrities support Obama probably like him anyway. As for the non-Obama supporters – particularly Republicans – this will probably just make him look like a liberal supported by Hollywood. Should’ve gotten some country singers for the video…
