You are wrong.
There is a world of difference between "And when oh when will we get to hear..."
and "And when will we hear..." If you can't see that difference, I'm not sure any explanation I or anyone else provides will convince you, but here goes.
"When will we" is a question.
"When oh when will we get to" is a wish.
Stop defending the indefensible. It impugnes you, and produces yet another example of liberal defect.

Poco:
No, YOU are wrong!
(isn't this fun?)
I said that I didn't get the impression that TC wanted Morris dead.
You don't have the authority to tell me that I DID get that impression...see?
If TC comes back and says "oh no, he's right, I want Morris dead" I assure you my impression will change.
Please feel free to still consider me evidence of libreal defect, though.
I'll consider you evidence that conservatives wouldn't admit their own group's flaws if they were caught in a hailstorm of them. : )
Peace,

Ok,
Your impression was wrong.

Disagree, Poco!
Now all we need is for TC to come back and tell us if, as a good liberal, he really honestly wants to see Dick Morris dead.
If he does, I will be all apologies.
Stay tuned.

Don Imus
The "liberals" are responsible for Imus's firing? I did not know that the large Corporations who pulled their advertising from Don Imus's show were "liberals". Neither that they were connected to the liberal media.
Now I know. And, thanks to that "liberals" comment, I am a lot smarter than before.

Is Rush Limbaugh next?
I wish.

Just because I'm paranoid...
Doesn't mean they are not out to get me.
Let's consider this part of the article:
Meanwhile, those who could realistically be the catalysts for such legislation don't seem to have much interest. Reached April 13, a spokesman for Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., who chairs one of the relevant House subcommittees, didn't know what the Fairness Doctrine was. In the Clinton era, by contrast, Markey had been a key proponent of the doctrine's return.
Jim Manley, a spokesman for Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., the Senate majority leader, dismissed conservatives' concerns.
"I'm not aware that there's any kind of debate about the Fairness Doctrine," Manley told Salon. "To be honest, I barely even know what it is ... [Sen. Reid] is not contemplating anything like that. It truly is not on his radar screen."
This brings to mind several things. First of all, we are given two options with this; either we are to believe that Democratic party operatives are generally ignorant about basic government policy and proposed legislation, or they are lying. The latter scares me, but the former even much more.
Now, I doubt that the leaders in the Dem party are seriously contemplating this, but it is revealing that they haven't denounced it. I would think they would have said that they were against the "fairness doctrine" if in fact they were.
Where are the free speech liberals today? Are they becoming an extinct animal?

Spoke A Little To Soon
Over the weekend, the National Conference for Media Reform was held in Memphis, TN, with a number of notable speakers on hand for the event. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) made an surprise appearance at the convention to announce that he would be heading up a new House subcommittee which will focus on issues surrounding the Federal Communications Commission.
The Presidential candidate said that the committee would be holding "hearings to push media reform right at the center of Washington.” The Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the House Government Reform Committee was to be officially announced this week in Washington, D.C., but Kucinich opted to make the news public early.
Seems to me that the "boogeyman" does exist and his name is Dennis!! I think the previous posters should review what they said and update their statements. When speech is regulated by the Government it is censorship.
