Tesco, you missed 'demonizing any form of opposition as traitorous'. If you don't agree with the war plans of The Great Leader you are automatically a beady-eyed communist secretly plotting to over-throw the government by using the anti-war protests as front.
Speaking of Clinton, there is a growing movement to use the impeachment process properly, that is to boot criminals out of office instead of harrass the politically undesirable. Check out:

for example. This is 'grass roots' though I'm sure the attack-dog press can find some evil communist links. Anyone not actually in the ruling corporate elite has got a second cousin's friend's friend who was once seen reading
Das Capital... But some members of the US Congress are also daring to say the word 'impeachment' out loud occasionally. I'm sure they will be called communists in short order. You'd think the neo-fascisti could find a new buzz-word more than a decade after the fall of the Evil Empire, wouldn't you? Ah well. If it grows to the point where actual hearings can be held we'll be in the fun position of watching Ari Fleischer playing the Iraqi information minister and denying that the Congressional Infidels are anywhere near the impeachment process.
I wouldn't put too much stock in the reports of 'finds' at Iraqi sites. Any nuclear facility is going to have hot spots. Especially one run by cronies of a third-world despot. They were not chosen for proven abilities but loyalty, remember. He would have to have the best party loyalists in charge of his nuclear programs. They are not likely to have been especially competent and spills of radioactive material do not make 'proof' of a weapons program deliberately over-looked by the IAEA. Of course, the US Military is now in complete control of all those sites and it's not unlikely that 'interesting' things will appear in the future. I'm not sure how well the origin of refined nuclear materials can be traced. Does anyone know if chemical traces can be used to identify the original ores or the refining processes used? It might be that they can get away with planting what they need to find.
