Judas Clarke
The right wing clear channel radio monopoly "talk" shows are invoking the Passion by saying that Richard Clarke is the Judas to Bush just as Christ had his Judas. They had a list of Judas' including John Dean as the Judas to Nixon.

The character attack on TV is a bit more secular and includes a revision of history by repeating that Clarke quit his terrorism job before 9-11 instead of taking another position in exasperation two months after 9-11.

Regular listeners do not need brain washing at this point, all they need is a light rinse! This campaign started out as a macho contest of whose military service was bigger but it is now becoming the battle of the bright forces of good over the dark forces of evil.

To give Clarke a Judas makeover of course makes Bush the son of God by default. Hey, I knew his dad and he was no prince of peace but
it is all in keeping with the chant that "Bush was appointed by God". This has been repeated by people such as General Boykin (chief of US Iraq intelligence), Judge Scalia, General Franks and the Billy Graham machine.

The bottom line message being screamed is that Clarke is not likeable. His name is hardly ever used without adjectives like arrogant, selfish, whining, inconsistent liar and now the 'nounjective' Judas.

But WAIT FOR THE PUNCHLINE... The latest attack on Kerry is that he is abusing the Bible for having repeated a sentence of scripture in public.

Abusing the bible?
Maybe there will be a new constitutional amendment to prevent such a heresy along with flag burning and gay persecution.

No one seems to think that it is a miracle that Judas has been resurrected. What I am waiting for is the Mel Gibson annointing of George W Bush before the election to full savior status.
Never mind he is Australian, at least he is not a foreign leader.

in the style of Molly.

11. Maybe those who portray Clarke as GWB's Judas are the Judas
of our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our free speech, our freedom and liberty: those of that ilk worship the cult of personality, are loyal to the person, no matter how much the Constitution is perverted.

12. now that I would agree with
That 'news' people seem to recoile in horror when someone speaks the truth does not bode well for our democracy.

3. The usual Orwellian Pravda
The Bushveiks are so much like Bolsheviks. Only Communism is Bolshevik Christianity and Christianity is Bolshevik Communism.

I would also expect the same kind of State-Sponsored Co-Ordinated smear campaign from the Communist Media (if we were in Russia) as the Busheviks are running here at home in the Bushevik Empire.

8. Busheviks = Bolsheviks
The Bushveiks are so much like Bolsheviks. Only Communism is Bolshevik Christianity and Christianity is Bolshevik Communism.

Methinks you may have gotten your wording a bit muddled. I wonder if you meant to say, ...only Communism is Bolshevik Christianity and (fundamentalist) Christianity is Bushevik Communism

Ooops. And editing time has expired, so there it sits...

Thanx anyway.

7. For Clark and Dean to be Judas archetypes
Shrub and Tricky Dick have to be Christ archetypes. These guys are really whacked, not to mention guilty of blasphemy, by their own religious standards.
