A lot of us here in Ohio are in an uproar over this week's mass propaganda campaign. The DVD "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West" was inserted into our newpapers and mailed to us FOR FREE! (see the NY Times site and this one for more info)
Smacking of blatant fear and war-mongering, I am not taking this lightly. Outrage barely begins to describe it!!!
Needless to say, this is one more thing about our country that I AM NOT BUYING!
There are SO many things WRONG with this attempt to polarize voters that it leaves me shaking my head in disgust and despair. WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OURSELVES?????
So...if you're in a swing voter state and you received one of the 28 million free copies that were sent out...please write and let me know your thoughts. Even if you didn't receive a copy, please do your part to participate in non-violent protest of some sort to let the people behind this crap know we will not fall into their trap.
I've been really trying hard to maintain my sense of peacefulness, hope, optimism, joy, gratitude, and balance during these past few months. When I got home last night and saw this in my mailbox, I must admit, the scales tipped towards righteous anger and indignation.
People, WE MUST BE THE CHANGE WE WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD!
So, today I will continue to focus on love, peace, justice, tranquility, equality, truth, happiness, generosity, etc. I will channel my frustration into loving nonviolent works of service...
Damn you John McCain, George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and your war-mongering cronies!!!

You go girl. I hadn't heard about this. But then again, I don't read the paper either.
What a mess we are - and what a mess we are bringing upon ourselves.
What kinds of things are you thinking of doing in protest?
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I don't get the paper anymore, but checked the list and see that several Pittsburgh papers are on the list to include it. I swing between anger and sadness about this type of thing.
Yet another reason why I don't read the paper! Maybe we should make a DVD called "Obsession: Radical Pseudo-Christian Extremists and Their War Against Women, People of Color, the Environment, the Poor, the Middle Class, Most of America and the World."
