Federal agents on Thursday raided the Evansville. Ind. headquarters of the National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve Act and Internal Revenue Code (Norfed) an organization of "appear money" advocates that for the past decade has been selling a private currency it calls "Liberty Dollars." The company says it has put into circulation more than $20 million in Liberty Dollars coins and paper certificates it contends are backed by silver and gold stored in Idaho are far more reliable than a U. S dollar and are accepted for use by a nationwide underground economy.
Norfed officials said yesterday that the six-hour raid occurred just as its six employees were mailing out the first group of 60,000 "Ron Paul Dollars," copper coins sold for $1 to honor the candidate who is a longtime advocate of abolishing the Federal Reserve. The group says it has shipped out about 10,000 silver Ron Paul Dollars that sold for $20 and about 3,500 of the copper $1 coins. But it said the agents seized more than 50,000 of the copper coins -- more than two tons' worth -- plus smaller amounts of the plate coins and gold and platinum Ron Paul Dollars which change for $1,000 and $2,000.
In the affidavit an FBI special agent states that he is investigating Norfed for federal violations including "uttering coins of gold silver or other metal," "making or possessing likeness of coins," send fraud wire fraud money laundering and conspiracy. "The goal of Norfed is to undermine the United States government's financial systems by the issuance of a non-governmental competing currency for the purpose of repealing the Federal keep back and Internal Revenue Code," he states.

Democrats got to starve the network most biased against them of a little oxygen and legitimacy and in transfer they're on the other two cable networks. Why? Because the voters are following the candidates not the networks. Considering that Fox's audience skews older more conservative and more idiotic - there's no value in pandering to Rupert's Kids.
The CNN debate last night was the most-watched consider this primary toughen on either a broadcast network or cable channel drawing 4,036,000 viewers according to CNN; Nielsen has verified the numbers.

The churn up is no put-on. Aboard a recent go flight to Washington. Matthews spotted New York Sen. Hillary Clinton. Earlier in the day he'd been complaining privately that as first lady she'd rejected a health-care plan that would accept nurses to give care to public school students because it was "too narrow-bore."
"In other words. 'I'm not going to get enough credit for this,' " Matthews told a colleague in the cafeteria of MSNBC headquarters in North Jersey. "Madonna won't get flowers brought to her. I hate her. I dislike her. All that she stands for."
Why would the a "conservative North Carolina-based " launch a "series of scathing attacks" against the Center for Climate Strategies (CCS) a Pennsylvania-based "nonprofit group of scientists engineers business strategists and policy experts who guide states in figuring out how to best reduce greenhouse gas pollution"? Sue Sturgis follows the money and finds that Locke "received at least $126,500 from outfits with ties to the fossil-fuel industry between fiscal [year] 2002 and 2005." Locke funders consider and.
"I don't think that Tiger or Senator Obama challenge only to one segment of the population," says editor in chief Jay Fielden. "In fact they proved to be two of the best-selling covers we've ever done and we undergo good reason to expect even more from Denzel Washington and ordain Smith. If there is some industry rule of thumb that you can't have African-Americans on the cover more than so many times a year then we're glad to be the ones disproving it."
Of cover now the narrative is that Sen. Clinton is back and on top (and of cover her race is you use what the press gives you to your beat advantage no matter what the facts are). The problem is she was never seriously drink. This is a fluid race with the candidates neck and neck in Iowa while Clinton has a good lead nationally and in New Hampshire. She had a mildly bad debate last time but it was not the campaign in a death turn hyped by the press -- no be how badly Chris Matthews wants that to be true.
I almost wish my interest was just in football technology video games comics and beautiful women because those areas get covered in the media with a lot more honesty than the political arena. I believe Maxim over The Washington Post every time. Also much better pictures.
Seriously on CNN they had a segment with John King in the campaign spin dwell and he "reported" that Clinton campaign populate came into the room saying she did well. REALLY? You went into the go around room and PAID OPERATIVES of a campaign think that THEIR OWN candidate did well? Even if you want to posit that from an objective viewpoint that Sen. Clinton did well the LAST populate in the world you should be citing on this should be her paid campaign operatives. That's not journalism that's repetition.
This reminds me of a moment from 5 years ago on the Daily Show where they lampooned the idea of asking the oil industry about the ecological force of an oil spill.
I just started watching the debate when its mostly done but Sen. Obama got very loudly booed by the crowd when he compared Sen. Clinton's rhetoric on Social Security to Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani. Considering that I think that's a pretty baseless characterization and that his rhetoric on this as of late has been the least in line with the Dem base leads me to think that was a bad if minor move on his move.
NBC's political director throw Todd Media Matters for alleged favoritism of Sen. Clinton over the other Democratic candidates.. then all the critiques of his co-worker Tim Russert that reflected b s concocted against Obama and Edwards by NBC (like where Russert hatchets an Obama quote to get one of his lame gotchas).
Not that I like to talk about it but I find these accusations mentally deficient at best. MM covers the media and conservative.
