Holy F-ck. Wolfowitz to speak on Rwanda.

[democracyindanger]

The broadcast of "Sometimes In April", the HBO-produced movie about the Rwandan genocide, just finished on the local PBS station. A brilliant movie--even more heartbreaking than "Hotel Rwanda."

Immediately afterward, Jeff "Milquetoast" Greenfield is moderating a panel, on which Paul-fucking-bastard-Wolfowitz is a featured speaker.

Please kill me now.

1. I just watched it also. Then heard that. I am in bizzaro world.

Two things:

First Wolfowitz postulating on genocide as the King of the World Bank?

Something creepy this way comes.

The movie is a stunning piece of work. It tells what happened and what the world did not do. The Clinton administration, the French, and the UN come off horribly in the film, in that order.

Is it me? Is this the new PBS? Show this movie, then have right wing nuts on to talk about it so then they can drive home their propoganda? The kind that makes Joe Schmuck see this then see this buffoonish group gently drive their points home?

Their points; UN=bad. French=enablers. Clinton=did nothing. Neocons= action.

3. Jeebus Christ on a cracker

Wolfowitz just compared Rwanda to Iraq. He proudly talked about the "17 nations" that participated in the invasion of Iraq.

This is the first clear example of the right-wing takeover of PBS.

I think Clinton failed by not intervening in Rwanda. But so far, Wolfowitz has blamed Clinton for Ethiopia and Rwanda, while trumpeting Iraq as a success.

Again, please kill me now.

4. PBS is over. I can't do the emoticons tonight but SwampRat, you are

on it. See ya, PBS! It's sad, so sad. KERA in Dallas never gets another dime from us. Die on your vine..

8. I think that's the plan

Either turn it into a propaganda machine or make it so obnoxious that educated liberals will ditch it and it will die.

:cry:

5. Anybody catch the name of the caucasian woman on the panel?

She made the final comment, something about "thanks to Christian organizations getting involved..."

I've googled the program, but none of the results specify who the panel members were.

6. Repeated with pain....

Goodbye, PBS - we are sure going to miss y'all.

7. ooo that burns my ASS!

There are very many NON-Christian organizations involved all over Africa trying to stop corruption, kidnapping of children and genocide.
