Every time you read the publication AMERICAN SPECTATOR you can be sure that they are doing more than spectatoring.Read Brock's book Blinded by the Right. He worked with them on payroll for a long time and rolled out some pretty damning lies against Clinton,Hill and others...REPENDENT NOW.

ATTACKING THE AARP: The Swift Boat vet group is already starting the attack. The
AARP, a group that looks out for the best interests of seniors, has come out
against the Bush plan. A new ad posted on the American Spectator
(http://www.spectator.org/) purports to show the "real" AARP agenda. The weird
ad shows a photo of soldiers in Iraq -- with a big "X" through it -- next to one
of two men kissing -- with a big green check. The group doesn't even pretend to
provide the rationale behind the ad; clicking on the "click here for details"
merely brings you to USA Next's home page, with nothing about either troops or
gay marriage. Thus the ad exists just to spread the implication that AARP hates
U.S. troops but loves gay marriage. (Thanks to DailyKos
(http://www.dailykos.com/) for finding the ad.)

"POOREST FACE MOST RISK ON SOCIAL SECURITY": The Washington Post exposes the
truth behind the Bush Social Security plan: "no group of Americans would be
affected more...than those earning the least
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A36311-2005Feb18.html) ." Today,
Social Security is the largest -- or only -- source of retirement income for
low-income workers. The program makes up more than half of retirement benefits
for almost two-thirds of the nation's seniors. Further, "it is the only source
of income for 20 percent of retirees." The Bush plan, which would transfer risk
onto the individuals while cutting benefits, would be devastating to these
seniors. E.J. Dionne points out the real agenda behind the Bush plan: "The real
'crisis' we face is created not by Social Security but by the administration's
unrelenting effort to lighten the tax burden on the wealthy, which, in turn,
creates a fiscal mess that forces cuts in programs -- for poor kids and needy
seniors alike
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A42608-2005Feb21.html) ."
