BACKGROUND:
Orwellian
pitchman, bigot and religious fanatic, Ashcroft was an incumbent Senator
from Missouri who lost his last election to a dead man. Bush cleverly chose
this loser to be the top legal authority in the land. He is known for whoring
for the NRA as well as attempting to ban abortions even in cases of incest
and rape. Critics feared that his aggressively conservative stance would
interfere with his role as the head of the Department of Justice. And they
were right. Since September 11th, 2002, he has violated practically every
civil liberty U.S. citizens could ever imagine, encroaching upon attorney-client
privelege, wire-tapping, internet tapping and instituting military tribunals
while ignoring the Geneva convention.
KEYWORDS: Extremist,
Fanatic, Paranoid, Hard-line, Draconian, Invasive,
MESSAGE:
Ashcroft has abandon every sense fairness and law that he promised to maintain
and enforce during his term. HE is an extremist pushing a Right-Wing agenda,
REFUSING TO ENFORCE THOSE LAWS THAT HE DISAGREES WITH.
NICKNAMES:
Asscroft, NRA Ashcroft
AMMO
(States Rights,
Despicable behavior)
FACT: Famed
proponents of states rights, the Bush administration, has been assaulting
California law in an effort to shut down one of the state's largest "cannabis
clubs," which cared for over 900 terminally ill patients. A spokeswoman
for the DoJ, Susan Dryden, said, "The recent enforcement is indicative
that we have not lost our priorities in other areas since September 11."
COMMENT:
So there you terminal, hippie, drug addicts. Take that. Love, John Ashcroft.
(Lies, Hypocrisy,
Supporting Terrorism, Fanaticism)
FACT:
Following the September 11 attacks, the FBI arrested and detained many
suspects of Middle Eastern origin, and in some cases the suspects were
denied lawyers and held for weeks before they were interrogated and cleared
of suspicion. Planned Parenthood recently received 250 letters in a two
week period which contained white powder and the following message: "You
have been exposed to anthrax. We are going to kill all of you. Army of
God, Virginia DARE Chapter." So far, the white powder in these letters
is not anthrax. So far, the FBI hasn't taken action against the Army of
God.
COMMENT:
This raises the spector of John Ashcroft's confirmation hearing where he
promised that he would not shirk his responsibilities when it came to protecting
the legal rights (and indeed lives) of abortion clinic workers. Of course
he would defend such accusations by stressing the critical need for the
DoJ's resources to be focused on fighting the war on terrorism and raiding
state-run clinics that care for the terminally ill. You know, the important
stuff.
(States' Rights,
Lies, Hypocrisy)
FACT: John
Ashcroft once conducted an interview with Southern Partisan magazine (Confederate
rag that it is) entitled "John Ashcroft: Champion of States' Rights and
Traditional Southern Values." States Rights aside, he then urged the FBI
to trample California state law and shut down "cannabis clubs" which aided
terminally ill patients. Now, it seems that Ashcroft's latest target is
Oregon, where he's now urging the FBI to crack down on doctors who perform
assisted suicides. The assisted suicide law was approved by the voters
of Oregon last year.
COMMENT:
It seems that the "Champion of States' Rights" should more accurately be
dubbed the "Champion of States' Rights That I Agree With" So let that confederate
flag fly and stamp the ten commandments on every public school wall , but
don't ever give comfort and/or relief to the terminally ill. Got it?
(Civil Rights)
FACT:
Last week John Ashcroft and Dick Cheney defended George W. Bush's new plan
to try suspected terrorists before military tribunals, bypassing their
constitutional right to a fair trial. Of course, it doesn't apply to US
citizens…yet. According to Dick Cheney, "They don't deserve the same guarantees
and safeguards that would be used for an American citizen going through
the normal judicial process."
COMMENT:
So it begins with big brother. Ignore the judicial process with non-citizens.
Stifle dissent in the "homeland". Label dissenters as "traitors". Narrow
the definition of "citizen" to eliminate "traitors". Attain complete Orwellian
control.
(Hypocrisy,
Whore, Gun Lobby)
FACT:
Our privacy is being chipped away. Our "justice system" now includes military
tribunals, secret evidence, and wiretapping of attorney-client conversations.
And more of what we say by phone or Internet is being monitored. But the
Attorney General drew the line when he felt that gun rights were being
threatened. When the FBI asked to use gun purchase records to see if detainees
had bought weapons, he denied the request.
COMMENT:
So to Ashcroft, any dissenting, innocuous opinion is treasonous, but if
you're suspected of terrorism and you buy a gun, that's none of the government's
business.

(Freedom of
Speech, Secrecy)
FACT: And
so it comes to this. Last week, on the order of John Ashcroft, a Houston
reporter was jailed for refusing to turn over notes and tape recordings,
which would have identified her confidential sources, to federal prosecutors.
Ironically, the hearing was closed to the public at the government's request,
the transcript was sealed, and the name of the judge who sentenced her
for contempt of court has not been made public.
(Gun Control,
Corporate Interests)
FACT:Resident
NRA whore, John Ashcroft stresses the fact that "We already have over 10,000
gun laws on the books, what we need is better enforcement of those laws!"
So what does Ashcroft do to promote this refreshing commitment to law enforcement?
Why he suggests that we CUT the time that they can hold background check
information from 180 days to, … one day.
COMMENT:
John Ashcroft is the most powerful and blatent supporter of the Gun Lobby
in recent history.
(Bigotry)
FACT:Rose
to prominence keeping Kansas City public schools segregated.
(Loser)
FACT: Missouri
voters in the November 2000 elections chose a dead man (The governor, who
was killed in a plane crash just before the election.) over him. Bush rewarded
Ashcroft's embarrassing failure to defeat the corpse by making him Attorney
General.
(Bigotry)
FACT:He
is one of several Republicans who has supported Southern Partisan, a neo-confederate
magazine that runs justifications for slavery and celebrates the assassinations
of Lincoln and Martin Luther King; (Note: Timothy McVeigh was wearing a
Southern Partisan T-Shirt when he blew up the Murrah office building in
Oklahoma City.)
(Idiocy, Taxpayers'
Money)
FACT: Attorney
General Ashcroft decided that he was tired of being photographed in front
of the statue of the "Spirit of Justice," in the Great Hall, because while
the female form is clad in a toga, one of her breasts is exposed. So, he
has decided to have the statue, along with its male companion, the "Majesty
of Justice" concealed by curtains at a cost of $8,000 to the taxpayer. |
