War on Christmas? - Town Fines woman for "Peace Wreath"

Somehow I'm sure this isn't what Bill O'Reilly is fighting for....

"American Conservative" Editorial: GOP Must Go!

Wow, and this is just the warmup:..

From the page "It should surprise few readers that we think a vote that is seen--in America and the world at large--as a decisive "No" vote on the Bush presidency is the best outcome.

Faced on Sept. 11, 2001 with a great challenge, President Bush made little effort to understand who had attacked us and why--thus ignoring the prerequisite for crafting an effective response. He seemingly did not want to find out, and he had staffed his national-security team with people who either did not want to know or were committed to a prefabricated answer."

Republicans "fake call" Democrats to suppress the vote.

In effort to annoy voters, the GOP is paying robocallers to pose as democratic candidates and harass voters.

States in which GOP fake calls are happening so far:

• Philly
• Kansas
• NH
• CT
• NY
