Durbin also won approval for <I>his</I> amendment for "diversity in radio ownership" or whatever.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure he isn't just fucking with Demint and the rest of the crazies on the right. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt at this point, but anything that screws with those a-holes on such a non-issue makes me chuckle. It's like watching someone spend $20 on carnival ring-toss determined to win 10 cents worth of crap. <BR/><BR/>Yeah. They won.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't care less about fairness, or equal time for opposing viewpoint. What I do care about are the lies, panic, and hysteria right wing TV and radio promotes. They're yelling "fire" in a crowded theater through yonder can, as far as I'm concerned. There should be consequences for lying to millions of people that result in things like a run on Walmart guns & ammo, or the paranoia and "righteous" fear that accompanies. They're calling to arms the Southern Confederates and Timothy McVeigh clones who live until their last breath to die for this bumkin-baiting shit. <BR/><BR/>The next terrorist attack seems less likely to be some N.Y. cab-driving jihadist-mole, but from that group of goobers that pretty openly share their ignorant opinions using words like, "Niggers, Liberals, Guns, Queers, and Big Government!" <BR/><BR/>The GOP base.<BR/><BR/>And former Bush recess appointment to UN Ambassador and mustache-ride promoter-- John Bolten, just made a comment about the possibility of Chicago getting nuked, and he<BR/>received "<I>thunderous applause</I>," according to several reliable sources while speaking at CPAC(Conservative Political Action Conference). <BR/><BR/>I've heard reports of about 10,000 Montana Log Cabin dwellers stomping around outside the capital urging right-wing/<I>Washington Tea Party</I> revolution. <BR/><BR/>I see very little peace in these people.<BR/><BR/>On the bright side, Obama and the Democratic party won handily despite the one-sided domination of right wing views on radio and TV. <BR/><BR/>But it cost about a billion dollars to do it.<BR/><BR/>Maybe liars and idiots are being thinned from the population? Or maybe it's getting more difficult to be a professional liar?<BR/><BR/>One thing's for certain, It has to get cheaper to defeat crazy, Wisco.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
