The University of Washington has put a collection of Vietnam War era printed ephemera (posters, flyers, pamphlets, magazines, mostly cheap mimeographs or photocopies) online. The browsable collection ranges from Defend the Black Panthers to How to Make a Revolution in the U.S. to the Planetary Citizen Human Manifesto to plain old Do Something . The collection offers a fascinating insight into the passion, energy and graphic sensibilities of grassroots, home-front politics in late 1960s and early 1970s Seattle. There are over 200 items, many with multiple pages (scroll bar in upper left frame). Some which caught my eye were: Gay Love is Here to Stay International Women's Day Teach-In Striking Covers of the Helix Magazine ("Seattle's Hip Rag"), e.g., 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . Black American IQ Test for Honkies Our Fight is Here: Essays on Draft Resistance. NW Call - Democratic Socialis m : see the dove text-art on page 2.

THE STRONGEST TRIBE: War, Politics, and the Endgame in Iraq. Bing West. Random. 417 pages. $28. We interpret reality through the clouded prism of our own experience, so it is unsurprising that Bing West sees Iraq through the lens of Vietnam. He served as a Marine officer there, and he thinks politicians and the media caused the American public to turn against a War that could have been won. Now a correspondent for the Atlantic, West has made 15 trips to Iraq and is almost as personally invested in... ...

During the August 8 edition of MSNBC's Race for the White House , host David Gregory failed to challenge the suggestion by Nicolle Wallace, senior adviser for Sen. John McCain's campaign, that McCain's status as an "American hero, a former POW" should insulate him from criticism of his policy proposals and Senate record. Wallace said: "I never hear anyone put it to the Obama campaign, the internal deliberations that they may have gone to when they made the strategic decision to essentially fillet an American hero, a former POW, on the stump every day, which is what comes out of their candidate's mouth every day on the stump." Gregory later noted that Obama has tied McCain to President Bush and asked Wallace, "What else do you have in mind in terms of what they've done?" In response, Wallace stated that "it is a blatant lie" to call "McCain an extension of the Bush administration." But Gregory did not ask Wallace how, as she suggested, McCain's being a former POW exempts him from criticism that he is an "extension of the Bush administration." Wallace's claim that connecting McCain to Bush policies is "a blatant lie" is contradicted by statements by officials in the Bush White House and the McCain campaign, as well as an independent study of voting records. While appearing with McCain during a March 5 White House endorsement ceremony, Bush said that McCain is "not going to change when it comes to taking on the enemy." In an article ...
