Any doubt that the DVD Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West isn't an endorsement of McCain should be dispelled by the fact that its newspaper distribution occurred primarily in swing voting states.
Anyway, here's a video of the Center for Intercultural Organizing protest of the Oregonian's distribution of Obsession, featuring our own Anne Trudeau. The video was produced by local radio host Opio Osokoni.
Thanks, Terry, for posting the video. With everything going on with our economic, things as scary as this video don't generate the outrage from our society that they deserve. Don't think the timing of this video and our economic crisis are a coincidence. Shame on the Oregonian! Their intentions for inserting this DVD aren't as honorable as they claim.

Thanks, Terry. I just wrote about the DVD and linked your column. Thanks, Opio, Anne, and everyone who attended the protest. Peace.

Thanks to all who have worked so hard to push on this issue. It's truly disgraceful (but completely unsurprising) that the Oregonian would distribute this kind of crap.
