The Bush campaign is entering dangerous territory with its organized effort to paint the Democratic candidate as a friend to terrorists argues the Times in the editorial "An Un-American Way to Campaign."
Ellen Goodman asks in The Washington Post How Exactly Are We Safer?
Fight fire with fire? Does Kerry really have to adopt Bush's campaign stragey of playing The Politics of Fear. Sadly, the answer is probably yes at this point. (The Washington Post)
Can you blame them? (USA Today)
And with that story in mind, readers 35 and under, don't be fooled: it's not being discussed during the campaign because it's political kryptonite but pleasebeleeve it's coming. Right now, we're only Dodging the Draft Issue. (Newsweek)
Especially when you're gonna need more soldiers if you are already making plans to wage war in Syria and Iran. (Newsweek)
So if that's not enough to get you out on November 2, this might be an effective get-out-the-vote strategy.
But, never mind the hurricanes (said with no disrespect to those who are suffering after the fourth hit last week), Florida is still f-cked up voter-wise four years later?!
While, even though the mainstream media doesn't seem to want to touch it, I'm glad someone is still asking questions, post F-9/11, about the Bush-Saudi connect. (Related: watch their ad win | real)
Was the Cat Stevens deportation bullish?

More corporate bitch moves: are CBS and Disney owned by the same company (or is that ABC)? (Related: Newsweek looks at why CBS has played themselves repeatedly over the past year or so)
While finally, some words of healing and unity from Maya Angelou regarding the election:

Recently Yusuf Islam broke with Muslim militants, condemning extremism and pledging proceeds from a CD set to 9/11 families. Jewish leaders in Britain praise him as a moderate and say an Islamic school he set up in North London teaches a peaceful brand of Islam. "All indications are that his move away from extremism is entirely genuine, and he now concentrates on his school and his music," said Michael Whine, a spokesman for Britain's Jewish community.Even if it wasn't, it's evidence of a failed homeland security policy that he even made it on the plane when his name was on the "No-Fly" list.

While finally, some words of healing and unity from Maya Angelou regarding the election:
I'm hopeful that the best person is elected. I would ask whoever is voted in to keep in mind that he is the president of the Latinos, of the poor whites in West Virginia and wherever else, of the blacks, of the Jews, of the growing Arab community. He is our president, whether we voted for him or not. The moment he is voted in, he becomes president of all America. And that means, just as all Americans are responsible to him, he is responsible to all Americans. I would love to see an end to the polarization, the "they and the we." I would love to see that.from a Newsweek online interview.
