The O'Reilly Factor
The O'Reilly Factor
12/19/2004 03:40 PMI'll get back to the history tomorrow (Saturday). For now, though, I
want to tell you about my experience tonight as a guest on the Bill
O'Reilly show. I received a call this afternoon (Friday) from the
producer inviting me to debate O'Reilly on the question: “Is dissent
disloyal?” After the producer and I discussed this issue, O’Reilly
(according to the producer) decided to redefine the question: “Can an
American want the United States to lose the war in Iraq and still be
patriotic?”
Of course, this is a loaded question. It not-so-subtly implies that
those who oppose the war want the United States to lose and, even
worse, want American soldiers to die. One of Joseph McCarthy’s
favorite tactics was to imply that anyone who believed in the social
or economic principles of communism also supported the violent
overthrow of the government. The tactic of guilt-by-inference is
all-too-familiar in American history. (I'll return to McCarthyism in
my next entry.)
In any event, in our “debate” O’Reilly insisted on his “narrow”
framing of the question and, when I called him on the issue, denied
that he intended to imply anything about those who merely oppose the
war. I accepted his framing of the question (it is, after all, his
show) and argued that a patriotic citizen could in principle want the
nation to lose a war if the war is unjust and if losing meant that
fewer American soldiers would die for no good reason. O'Reilly
maintained that losing a war necessarily means that more American
soldiers will die than continuing the war and that no one could
therefore patriotically wants the nation to lose. O’Reilly tossed out
such ugly phrases as “despicable,” “traitor,” and “disloyal” to
describe those who would disagree. The purpose, of course, was to
excite his audience.
After the show, I received dozens of emails, most of which were along
the following lines:
“You ought to be arrested, tried, convicted of wartime treason. And I
don't have to tell you the penalty for that.”
“I hope they are checking you out for being a traitor!!!”
“You are not only despicable, but should go ahead and move out of the
USA.”
“I must imagine, Mr. Stone, that you will look over your shoulder a
little bit, because maybe some soldier in a foxhole somewhere might be
a tad angered with you and your lunacy. There may be a few G.I.s in
Chicago even that would like to ‘speak’ with you.”
“There is the tendency for citizens to take the law into their own
hands in these cases. Decent, ordinary people, not of the left, are
angry enough at the far left to be willing to go along with things you
would consider unconscionable.”
“You're a despicable Piece of feces, A Gutless Traitor. and I strongly
suggest that you get your Terrorist Sympathizing Worthless ass out of
this country while you can still walk and talk.”
And so on. What do you make of all this in light of our on-going
conversation?

The Moral Values Party With thousands of
Republicans set to invade the city this summer, high-priced escorts
and strippers are preparing for one grand old party.
Agencies are flying in extra call girls from around the globe to meet
the expected demand during the Aug. 30-Sept. 2 gathering at Madison
Square Garden.
"We have girls from London, Seattle, California, all coming in
for that week," said a madam at a Manhattan escort service.
"It's the week everyone wants to work."
"It's going to be big," agreed one operator at a midtown
escort service.
Now that's what I call moral clarity!!

06/25/2004 12:33 AMWorld Wide Wardrive finds most access points unprotected: The fourth
week-long international wardrive found 288,000 access points in their
survey, more than 50 percent of which had no security enabled. Since
these were passive scans, it's impossible to tell whether those access
points were inside or outside corporate firewalls, and thus not open
portals, but it's likely that the overwhelming majority were just
plain open. Nearly 30 percent had the default SSID or network name
set....

Political clarity...
10/31/2003 07:16 AMFor many recent Labour voters the last couple of years have been a
bit of a troubling time - with some of the actions of the government
(particularly with regard to the War in Iraq) seeming to be violently
and almost universally at odds with the views of the electorate. As a
result, I think it's far to say that their popularity has waned. But
while people have become vaguely disillusioned with Labour, the other
political parties haven't really seemed to be particularly inspiring
any kind of reaction at all. In a way it's a bit of a surprise -
whether you like the policies or not, it's difficult to deny that the
Conservative policy raft has been more interesting than it has been
for a long time. But that doesn't seem to have made much of a
difference either way. On the whole - with the exception of occasional
terrifying statements by Oliver Letwin, the only things they do
that get any press or interest from the public have been their
bi-weekly attempts to commit televised hari-kiri.
There's a whole range of reasons why they might not have made
sufficient political hay recently. Obviously there's the increase in
general political disillusionment. Certainly the current government
hasn't done an awful lot to stem that particular tide. Also, no one
realistically thinks that the Conservative party can quite hold
themselves together long enough to put any of their shiny new (if
occasionally barking) policies into practice? Their regular
apocalyptic tailspins have made them the "Kenny" of Westminter's
"South Park".
Another position - and one I tend to subscribe to - is that because
they've simply tried to be perceived as vaguely socially tolerant (and
had a "nice" non-threatening leader), minority groups, trade unions
and the like have stopped thinking of them as an actual danger
any more. And while that group has had their anxieties eased a bit
that doesn't mean that they (or other people in the centre-ground) are
yet convinced that they're trustworthy, representative of public
opinion or - well - totally in touch with reality... And while they're
waiting for evidence, they're quite comfortable to background
them...
Well as far as I'm concerned, the discomfort remains and the
anxiety is back. That's not to say that I think Michael Howard
has much of a chance of being Prime Minister. And it's not to say that
I think the party will be any more united under his leadership. But -
if they put him in charge of their party - they will have made certain
parts of this argument crystal clear for me again. Instead of being
able to view the Conservative party as representing an alternative -
perhaps more market / efficiency driven - approach to running the
country, appointing Michael Howard is no more or less than running up
the Conservative Skull and Crossbones again and setting sail for the
easy targets of cheap political swag.
Tom Watson has put up a post that reminds us of
the facts about Michael Howard. There's terrifying stuff in there.
I'm going to highlight a few of the ones that scare me most
personally, but please - read the full list...
"As Home Secretary, he believed that the answer to crime
was simply to lock more people up: "an increase in the number of
criminals in prison leads to a large fall in crime" (POLITICS,
MORALITY AND THE NATION STATE lecture, ST. MICHAEL CHURCH, CORNHILL,
CITY OF LONDON, 10 January 2003)"
"Howard criticised Jack
Straw's decision to detain General Pinochet and actively campaigned
for his release: "We think this has gone on far too long. We think he
should be sent back to Chile." (BBC Interview, 26 November 1998)"
"Howard opposed the introduction of the Human Rights Act."
"Howard was judged to have flouted the European Convention on
Human Rights following unlawfully delaying the release of five
long-serving IRA prisoners - the SEVENTH time he had been found to be
acting illegally in just two years as Home Secretary. (September
1995)"
"Howard voted against equal rights for homosexuals by opposing
lowering the homosexual age of consent to 16"
And if you still needed evidence that this man must not be
allowed to become Prime Minister at any cost, then how about these two
draconian, vile-worded and dangerously regressive/oppressive
policies:
"Howard was the Minister in Charge of bringing in the Poll
Tax in 1988. Even after Thatcher had gone, and after the poll tax
riots, he insisted he still believed in the policy (July 1991)"
"Howard was the Minister who brought in Clause 28 of the Local
Government Act banning the "promotion" of homosexuality (March
1988)"

Vonage Sued Over Lack Of Clarity In 911
Info
03/22/2005 05:03 PMThe issue of VoIP having 911 service gets way too much attention.
Most of the major VoIP players already have some sort of solution in
place, and it seems to be improving over time. However, apparently
the attorney general in Texas doesn't think Vonage is doing enough.
It's not that they don't offer 911 service, but that
they
don't make things clear enough to customers who are signing up.
The whole case seems a bit confusing. Vonage clearly does offer 911
service, so saying that users "aren't clearly informed that the
service excludes 911" is incorrect. It does include 911, you just
have to follow the instructions -- and Vonage claims they make every
effort to get people to follow the instructions. Not only that, but
the company seems to
make the
process fairly straightforward, though it could be improved. This
seems more like political grandstanding in the wake of some
negati
ve publicity recently concening VoIP and 911 service in Texas.
