Remember Barrie Zwicker? The ultra-left

Remember Barrie Zwicker? The ultra-left Vision TV "media critic" (what is it with people who call themselves "media critics," anyway?) is still preaching about a Jewish "neoconservative" conspiracy to let 9/11 happen, complaining about Bush's "squelching dissent at home" (at one point, the Dixie Chicks' Home fell to #5 on the country charts!) and basically making shit up:

More than half of the U.S. budget now goes to the merchants of death.

Between 2004-2008, the U.S. government will spend about 2.1 trillion dollars on defence - out of a total of over 12 trillion dollars. Using the exact figures on the OMB website, the percentage of the budget spent on defence is more like 17%.

Hey, "more than half," 17%...who can keep track when you're trying to save the world from the Amerikkkan imperialists?
