Racism, Sexism, and Self-Censorship
By David Swanson
I posted a blog recently comparing the occupation of Iraq to rape. I later deleted it.
Over at Shakesville there’s a whole discussion about that fact, to which I just contributed this comment:
Response from David Swanson. Actually you don’t write letters, because you never sent me a letter or a fax or an Email. But I did just find this. I took the post down because of a misunderstanding related to racism that I thought was crazy until I saw this misunderstanding related

Will McCain Name Torture Ships for Big Donors?
By David Swanson
The United States maintains secret prisons on ships in the ocean in order to detain people outside the reach or even the knowledge of any system of law, the better to torture the ever-living cheney out of them. Over at the Black Commentator, Glen Ford (now at the Black Agenda Report) has been calling the Bush Cheney gang pirates for years. And the point is not just that they’re criminals, but that they are outlaws, killers, and thieves who operate outside any national allegiance

This means that Clinton can still pull it out if she picks up 358 percent of the remaining delegates.
The above calculation doesn’t count
