Economic Terrorism
Oct. 7, 2008 11:15 amBy Thom Hartmann A...Was “Economic Terrorism” and “Fear Mongering” Employed on Members of Congress to Pass the Bailout Bill?
Congressman Brad Sherman of California's 27th congressional district has now said some Congressional representatives were threatened with 'Martial Law' if they vote against the $700 billion bailout and the measure failed.
Congressman Sherman said "Many of us were told in private conversations, that if we didn't pass this bill on Monday, the sky would fall, the market would drop two or three thousand points, another couple thousand the second day, and a few members were even told that there would be Martial Law in America if we voted no."

Transcript: Ralph Reed. Church exempt status, Karl Rove, selective prosecutions. Sep 30th 2008
Oct. 1, 2008 2:45 pmBy georgevapThey discussed whether a church should lose its tax exempt status if any of its pastors preached politics in the pulpit. Thom asked about Karl Rove's role in the effort to defeat Don Siegelman's proposed lottery to pay for education. They discussed whether there was selective prosecution of Democrats like Don Siegelman, Paul Minor, Richard Scrushy and even Republican Bob Ney who upset the Bush administration (some of whom are said to be innocent), while others at least as guilty were not prosecuted.
