Fairness doctrine = end of right wing politics

The must have their right wing hate speech and Faux news to keep their alliance of racisits, greedy rich and riligious fundamentalists togather.

Without it they die.

The fairness doctrin will be back and the right wing will once again have to compete with other ideas... since they are just a bunch of hot air they will blow out quickly.

Goodby right wing wackjobs, you will not be missed.

Randy, the fairness doctrine is not unconstitutional.

The supreme court has already ruled on it. The FCC can implement the fairness doctrine.

The court ruled however that the FCC was not compelled to enforce it. That's largely the loophole the rightwingnutjobs that Reagan installed at the FCC used to kill fairness on the air and let hot air balloons like Limbaugh rant unopposed.

BTW, the fairness doctrine would do nothing to limit the hate rants of Limbaugh and his ilk, its just that after they are done spewing their lies and half-truths opposing views (the truth) will have to be aired also. Right wing hate speech would shrivel like a slug in bright daylight.)

Hey Elephantboy

Shouldn't you be helping carry Sarah Palin's bags back to Alaska?

Now run along, the grownups are having a discussion.

....and for God's sake, stop touching yourself!

Original article: Let Obama be Obama

But not one is panicking about Obama.

Let's face it, the great majority of Democrats are not panicking about Obama or anything close to it.

He still has two long months before he can take office and so far on the transition he has done a good job.

The frustration is that Bush is still President and the 24/7 news machine must be fed.... so what's the story:

-Economy tanking.

-Auto companies, the backbone of us manufacturing, are about to go under.

-Terrorist attacks abroad.

-And Bush is just as ideologically paralyzed, if not more, than Hover ever was.

Therefore the anxiety about this must because of Obama. Right?

Wrong. Unless we impeach Bush we're going to have to wait for help.

Now I know what Opus feels like with the anxiety closet door being held wide open by Bush.

Original article: Let Obama be Obama

Can we compress a giant spring...

... under Bush's office chair and hit the eject button the second Obama is finished being sworn in.

It would only save a couple of hours but even that would make me feel a little better.

And now it runs non-stop on Faux news for free.

Yea, they're a real principled bunch.

Its just a way for the repugs to run a smear ad 27/7 and not have to actually pay for it or be subject to the justified backlash.

For the love of God!

Does she have scandalous photos of Joan or what? Surly you ten-year-old niece could write better than this drivel.

Hey Elephantboy,

The only investigations of note will be the ones that land Cheney and Bush in jail.

.... and for God's sake, stop touching yourself.

Not only is the clown out of job on Jan 20.

He is most likely hiding some criminal activity. Guess he can go to the same prison as Bush and Cheney.

Original article: Obama talks Blagojevich

No, wait! This can't be true, Obama must be corrupt.

I bet "motherfucker" is new code word amongst Muslim, Commie, Socialist, black, America hating Christians to mean "my dearest friend".

And you know what, John McCain is part of that group too. That's why when he tells his fellow congressmen to "go fuck yourself" it really means "hi there old friend". I also bet your didn't know McCain is actually a black man.

.... PS: I got to write "motherfucker" and not have my post deleted.... Its the little things in life that make it worth living ;-)

PS2: Is there such a thing as a Muslim Communist?

This "they don't deserve a bail-out" is a totally wrong headed and irrelevant argument.

Yes, the top management of the big three automakers have been making stupid decisions for years along with most other short sighted executives in the US.

But this is not about a handful of shortsighted greedy scumbags. Its about the US economy and weather or not we are going to be a society that "cleans each other's houses" and lives in slums or one that makes things and lives in middle class neighborhoods. Note:(there will always be the rich who will no doubt live in gated communities.)

Don't like the idea of those rich bastards having their cushy job's saved, fine... we'll fire them as a part of any deal, but don't flush the entire industrial base of the US down the toiled because you don't like a handful of ignorant and arrogant executives.

And don't believe the shallow news reports that claim ONLY a few million jobs are at stake. The US auto manufactures set the standard for all the other manufacturers in the US and help to maintain and advance that standard. Ask anyone who knows about PPAP, or SAE standards or hundreds of other critical process that every other manufacture in the US and world depend on. If the US automakers go out of business the US will not longer be a significant player in the industrialized world.

This is a total non issue.

Get ready for a steady stream of this BS from the right wing noise machine. It makes no difference who the Democrats have in office.

This is why I never liked the term the "Clinton Rules". It implies the right wing has it in for the Clintons, but in fact they just have it in for who ever the opposition is. Its the only way they know how to function.

Democrats need to learn from the past and not cooperate with these smears. Denounce them for what they are, early, often and consistently.

FUGOP

We're going to fix the mess you made and you're twisted philosophy will cease to be relevant.

Elephantboy.

Hove you stopped beating your wife yet....

...err or whatever you might beat.

God to elephantboy... "stop touching yourself".

Now this is a rare accusation for a Democrat, but not necessarily a repuglican.

"Once again Liberals with carefully worded statements...

'... I have NO relationship with Ms. Lewinsky.'".

--C3momma

Are you suggesting Obama gave Blogo a blowjob???

Let me set you straight, that's what republican men do to each other.

(what they do the country is said to be a crime against nature in many southern states.)
