Heh. Though scurrilous, given CGE has written often for Counterpunch where innuendo and what Paul Ricoeur calls, "the hermeneutics of suspicion, " is the first rule in the journalistic guidebook, funny. (And, did the Kinsey Report on the Human male say that a third of mid-Western males in the 40's had carnal knowledge with farm animals?

Just as stupid (and I know too much about Truman, [and Humphhrey authored Communist Control Act of 1950, that would have imprisoned thousands] Nixon and Reagan era plans drawn up by NSC and FBI for preventative detention of "radicals and subversives" on Jaye Edgar's Rabble Rouser Indexes, to not be a bit paranoid, (neither was Rep. McKinney when she invited to testify to a congressional hearing, Marilyn Buck, Laura Whitehorn and Susan Rosenberg of the Weather Underground. http://www.truthout.org/0308.MC.CivRts.Pt4.htm Never mind the adventurism of the Weather Underground, gave the ammunition Nixon needed to get elected to end "chaos in the streets" as the smarter contributors to, "Weatherman, " an anthology edited by Harold Jacobs for Ramparts Press in 1970, said ... )
but, that kind of stuff belongs more on the hard right fringes like this, http://www.mt.net/~watcher/camp79.html http://www.apfn.org/apfn/camps.htm or our precinccts, apparently, http://www.mumia.org/wwwboard/messages/2038.html
