Actually, Nathan, I would say *less* power to those neo-fascist parasites.
Other than the RCP, I can't think of a worse excuse for a political grouping
(well, there's Fulani and Fred Newman). Read only enough of their stuff to
know how horrible they are; but I'm curious: Do they they parrot the Chinese
line down to the regime's old support for the Khmer Rouge and hostility to
the Vietnamese? Or do they stop at advocating the murder of unarmed
dissenters? 

The only thing I liked about the WWP was when they disrupted the third party
presidential debates on C-SPAN in 1996. Great live TV. Thought that Harry
Browne and Howard Phillips were going to shit each other's pants. John
Hagelin, on the other hand, simply went into TM mode, and blocked out the
negative vibes coming from the lunatics waving placards. If Budweiser and
Phillip Morris were more cutting edge, THIS is what they would they sponsor
instead of the dreary corporate version. Perhaps then FOX would televise the
debates, sensing bigger ratings than what "Dark Angel" would bring.
