Thought that some would like to read this column piece (have your barf bag at the ready).

1. LOL. They already deleted my comment.
I guess they didn't like me calling the article "a pantload of fear mongering hyperbole".

2. I just looked. It's up there now. Don't know why they had it missing for a while.
You're in good company, too! I see Walter Lippmann posted right before your comment! Cool.

I'm glad your post was finally allowed.

Ah, ha ha ha HA. I just posted, too. Right after I thought about it. I followed your post.

I haven't seen the whole thread, yet, but the last four are all sane posts. Cool!

That guy is one ugly, cheap, a-hole. Can't believe he was waving those acquisitions, his microwave, his ability to eat from cuisines, his "Americanization" up our noses as if they meant something.

He's one conspicuous right-wing suck-up. He's got to be getting paid by Bush, just like the other 20 "journalists" they caught not long ago in South Florida.

Going to check back later to see the whole section of comments. Thanks for posting this rot and giving people a chance to respond to it.

We should make it our policy on here to do that to every ridiculous article we see. I know our time is limited, though. But this stupid media coverage of South America can probably only be stopped by movements like this. I know most papers would never publish anything that challenges the corporate media's distortion campaign, but we should get organized and start writing editorials and letters to the editor when this kind of stuff happens. And to our politicians. If they don't publish them, at the very least we can cause cognitive dissonance in the minds of these people that publish biased crap like this.
