Will they one day try to silence us?

As I'm watching the news I'm wondering which media personalities are outraged that the Bush administration has used the Patriot Act to silence them regarding vote fraud. That is a truly terrorifying thought. They defrauded the voters and then used the Patriot Act they developed to silence the media.

Calling this country a fascist state is no longer hyperbole, is it?

the problem with the media today is they are afraid of getting shut out. What I mean is, this administration is SO secretive and closed that ANY member of the media found to be "anti-Bush", whether they are or not, will be shut out of ANY information coming out of the White House. There is a concerted effort by Bush's handlers not to allow any disention..whether it be within their own ranks or by outsiders who refuse to think like them. The attack machine is gassed up and ready to go at a moments notice. Look what they did to Dan Rather...what they continue to do. I can't think of one media personality that has the guts to confront this administration, can you?

I've got to admit it would take a lot of guts to take on the Bush administration on national television knowing your career and livelihood were at stake. Possibly your life.

I have seen stories about the internet possibly being used by "terrorists" and possibly getting shut down for safety. It could happen, I would not put anything past these fascists.
