An Iraq war protester, who also happened to be a member of mensa poured gasoline over himself and went out in a blaze of protest, which was promptly ignored by all the media just days before the midterm elections.

if the mainstream media is liberal, and liberals oppose the war, why would they dodge this story?

The mainstream media is not liberal.
The people who say it is are just so far right
that everything seems left of them.
From where I'm standing,
the mainstream media is decidedly conservative.

Exactly. There is no mainstream liberal mean. www.indymedia.com is great, but hardly mainstream.

The thing that gets me is that people consider the American Democrat Party liberal. Just because they're not as right-wing as the other mob hardly makes them liberal.

I'm sorry but I will NEVER condone suicide to whatever reason or degree. In my mind, he is no better than any of those crazy suicide bombers.

Suicide only creates pain, and he is making an example of himself to tons of people who sees him. I would be very aghast to find that some depressed person out there follow his footsteps find other reason to commit suicide.

I am glad NOONE is listening!
