		<description>Thanks for a great piece.  I so appreciate how No Quarter is a forum that focuses on the truth instead of towing the kool-aid line of denial, distraction, and scapegoating.  Keeps me sane!!</description>

		<description>About Americorps. I don&#039;t know why you call Americorps the youth facsist movement.  My son works for Americorps, as a teacher&#039;s aid in a public school system, assisting ESL students learn English and helping them assimilate.  As a college grad, he is serving his country in a peaceful way.  He has just enough money to pay his rent and utilities--he watches every dime!  He gets health insurance (we parents are paying healthy deductibles) and food stamps, and perhaps an allowance for future education if he serves enough hours, but that&#039;s not guaranteed. He is not living a luxurious life, but he loves his work, and he inspires his students.  If SOME organizations misuse funds, that should not damn the whole program.  Americorps is a non-military form of serving the country, and developing character.  AS for the politics of the incident under discussion, I hope that eventually chickens come home to roost for this administration.</description>

		<description>Funny how the subject got changed so quick in this thread. This is about oversight. If an official charged with overseeing the appropriation of funds uncovers misdeeds and gets fired, that tells any possible whistle blower that there will not be any protection for them if they were to spill the beans. We&#039;ve heard all about Walpin, where&#039;s the stuff about Kevin Johnson and how the money steered to St. Hope went for car washing duty and who knows what else. We&#039;re talking about 100&#039;s of thousands of dollars. Johnson claims it will be paid back. He works for a non-profit, where will the money he needs to pay back come from?</description>

		<description>Walpin had the temerity to turn the light on in a room filled with Obama cockroaches, Walpin was DOING HIS JOB! Unfortunately for him, his job description is in direct conflict with the Obama agenda. He&#039;s not alone, watchdogs and whistleblowers are being eliminated and replaced across the board. Obama&#039;s Orwellian claims of &quot;transparancy&quot; are actually a cynical cover for secret activities that would enrage everyone were they revealed. His intentions are usually the opposite of his words, and the measurable effects of all of his activities are beggining to clearly prove the bitter reality that is in stark contrast to his sugary rhetoric.

The safety valves, checks and balances, and separation of powers are all dissappearing with the greatest Presidential power grab in the history of this nation. Unfortunately we have probably already reached the tipping point, and I hope it is not too late for all concerned to put our boots on and get out there and kick some ass. Obama needs to be stopped on ALL fronts because he and his marxist buddies are ATTACKING us on all fronts. It has to stop NOW!</description>

		<description>jbjd, first link does not work, do you have a different one for mckinney1?  thx, nom

Here is complete text of speech of mckinney2; she plainly says zionism, not judaism.  I do not find this to be anti-semitic, but have transcribed text: let anyone judge for themselves.  
I don&#039;t agree with everything McKinney says, or any other politician for that matter, but she is hardly the psycho claimed by our newly resident troll.

 “Great, thank you.  Who’d have thought it would be so cold in May in New York City; but every day is a good day when you’re standing up for justice.  On my birthday last year I declared my independence from the national leadership that through its votes in support of the war machine is now complicit in war crimes, torture, crimes against humanity and crimes against the peace.  I declared my independence from every bomb dropped, every veteran maimed, and every child killed.  I noted that the Democratic leadership in Congress had failed to restore this country to Constitutional rule by repealing the Patriot Acts, the Secret Evidence Act, and the Military Commissions Act.  That it had aided and abetted illegal spying against the American people. And that it took impeachment off the table.  
In addition the Democratic congressional leadership failed to promote the economic integrity of this country by not repealing the Bush tax cuts.  They failed to institute a livable wage, Medicare for all, health care and gave even more money to the Pentagon as it misuses our hard earned dollars.  
We can add to that list an abject failure to stand up for human rights and dignity.  If the Democratic and Republican leadership won’t respect the right of return for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita survivors how can we expect them to champion the right of return for Palestinians?
If this country’s leadership tolerates the wanton murder of unarmed black and latino men by law enforcement officials, extrajudicial killings, how can we expect them to stop or even speak out against targeted assassinations in the Middle East?
If the Democratic and Republican leadership accept ethnic cleansing in this country by way of gentrification and predatory lending, why should we expect them to put an end to it inside Palestine?
If the leadership of this country impedes self-determination for Native peoples in this country, why should we expect them to support indigenous rights for anyone abroad?
And sadly, the sensationalist, corporate media would rather trick us into thinking that reporting on a pastor, and a former vice presidential nominee, and a former cable tv magnate, constitutes this country’s much needed discussion of its own apartheid past and present.  So why should we expect an honest discussion of apartheid and Zionism?
I hope by now it’s clear: our values will never be reflected in public policy as long as our national political parties and our country remain hijacked.  Hijacked by false patriots who usurped the applause(?) of the people and all the while betray our values.
I’ve decided that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans will operate any longer as business as usual, not in my name.  That Democrats and Republicans will use my tax dollars and betray my values not one day longer.  Not in my name.
That neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have earned my most precious political asset, and that’s my vote.  And that now is the time to do some things that we’ve never done before in order to have some things that we’ve never had before.
So I’m here today, and I declare my independence from weapons transfers, including Apache helicopters, F-16’s; Sidewinder, Hellfire, and Stinger missiles.  I declare my independence from occupation, demolished homes, political prisoners, and babies dying at checkpoints.
I declare my independence from United Nations vetoes, expropriated land, stolen resources, and the installation of puppet regimes.  I declare my independence from all forms of dehumanization.  And I’m not afraid to speak Truth to Power.  I am happy to join with peace-loving people around the world, who know that there can be no peace where there is no justice.  Let us never tire in our work for justice.  Thank you.”</description>
