“Dictatorship”

Brian Zick

Jack Cafferty is really pissed. In his segment on CNN he said, "We all hope nothing happens to Arlen Specter, the Republican head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, cause he might be all that stands between us and a full blown dictatorship in this country." Crooks and Liars has the video. Once upon a time it was just "radical commie-loving French fry-eating liberal extremists," who Photoshopped pictures of Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld in Nazi uniforms and made posters and then marched in protests ignored by the press, that said stuff like Cafferty is saying on TV now.
