Michannibal Obama: You know what you look like to me, with your good hair and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition’s given you some length of bone, but you’re not more than one generation from poor white, Hawaiian trash, are you, Barack? And that accent you’ve tried so desperately to shed: pure West African Arab. What is your father, dear? Is he a goat herder? Does he stink of the lamb?
Consider yourself condemned, disavowed, denounced, and shunned. But not disowned, because we could no more disown you than we could disown our Better Halfs. At least not until it is time to throw you under the back of the bus.
I refuse to click on that link? What possible ethical treatment of animal issues could arise with a bunch of really hot Russian lesbian tennis players playing tennis on the grass? Is there some kind of insect that lives on the grass court that objects to being trampled by Maria Sharapova?
She has never been anything but lovely and gracious. She has (gasp) held opinions on issues and she is outspoken in her support of her husband’s run for president. But she hasn’t dissed anyone or been a bitch (only inside of the fevered and Flowbeed head of Larry Johnson).
I enjoy the jokes but really – she seems very nice and first ladyish – not a shrieking harpy at all (which is totally a totally sexist ideation and I denounce myself for even saying it to say she isn’t one).
Education Guy: Hmmm. But I bet Cindy could find the pharmacy in a flash.
Oooooh. I quadruple denounce myself. My other personalities disavow me and sever ties.
But Michelle has to be a shrill harpy! It’s in the rulebook! Ever since 1992 every Democrat nominee’s wife has to be either a shrill harpy or a moralizing censorer of popular music.
And God knows if Michelle were that censorerer thingie, rap music would have been strangled in the crib.
With all due respect, Michelle has dissed almost everyone:
“What we have learned over this year is that hope is making a comeback. It is making a comeback. And let me tell you something — for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change.”
Someone who has not been proud of her country since 1968 is dissing many, many, many people. Indeed, most people who lived through 1968 probably do not remember it fondly.
Well, to be sure some of the homeless domestically displaced here on K street are hungry for your change, although I suspect some of them may be more thirsty for it.
The thing about Michelle; she is so strong. I mean, not only outspoken and opinionated, but I’m certain she could (and probably has) whip Barracks ass like a dominatrix getting paid for the chore.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I just think she deserves pre-election scrutiny as well, in view of the level of influence she is sure to exert in the oval office.
Ha ha ha, Education Guy. But they can really get around in those battery powered scooter thingies. And I bet she could haul ass on a Segway (and look good doing it).
This picture is disgusting. Attacking his wife? Meanwhile your candidates wife is a drug addicted adulterer who looks like the witch from 101 Dalmatians. So let me guess you guys think she will eat white people?
As you are politically sympatico with the Obamas, I understand why you think that’s a stretch. But there are a lot of people who focus more on America’s virtues and progress than its faults. Telling them there has been nothing to be proud of in the last 40 years — landing on the moon, winning the Cold War, any number of Olympic victories, and even better race relations — is a bit of a diss.
I am not proud of anything our country has done in the last 7 years.
Really? Over the course of the last 7 years this country has deeply invested itself in saving the lives of Africans infected with HIV. Doesn’t do anything for you?
Tsunami relief. I would mention the whole “brought one of the greatest mass murderers of the late 20th century to justice” thing, but I know PH is mad about that.
Well lee if the Supreme Court had ruled different today they would all be up for the death penalty. So who cares if the NG or a gas chamber got them, I thought you wingers were all for the death penalty?
WASHINGTON – When President Bush visits Liberia as part of a week-long trip to Africa, which was set to begin Friday, he just may hear a popular song whose refrain includes these words: “Thank God for George Bush!”
The Liberian ditty from 2003 reflects appreciation for US intervention in the country’s political strife. But in a broader sense, it represents how much of sub-Saharan Africa stands out as a bastion of goodwill toward the United States – and Mr. Bush – at a time of high international opprobrium for the US.
The reason for the African difference is simple. Against all expectations for what a Texas governor who dismissed Africa’s national-security importance would do as president, Bush has elevated Africa’s ranking on the presidential priority list, taking two policy-redefining steps that are likely to carry over into the next US administration:
•Bush raised Africa’s place on America’s global map of national security by creating AFRICOM, the US Africa Command. It will oversee American military operations and relations on the continent and elevate Africa’s role in the battle with international terrorism.
•Bush has made the continent the focus of the international application of his “compassionate conservatism” creed: Africa is the workshop for Bush’s Millennium Challenge grants, which seek to redefine the way the US practices foreign assistance by rewarding good governance and democratic regimes. In addition, the continent receives the lion’s share of Bush’s substantial HIV/AIDS funding and his administration’s efforts to eradicate malaria.
In a recent poll by the Pew Research Center for People & the Press, eight of the Top 10 nations that gave America the highest approval ratings were African, a reflection of increases in American aid as well as trust in its institutions and leadership.
Because George W. Bush doesn’t care about black people.
I thought you wingers were all for the death penalty?
Actually, if the Supreme Court had ruled differently, I would have no problem with a public hanging of any child rapists found at the Texas ranch. Or anywhere else. I just think it’s nice to have a trial first.
I wonder if abortion would be ok with you guys if the children in the christian ranch were pregnant? Oh yeah I can’t wait to watch your heads explode when the SC tommorrow holds the DC gun ban Constitutional!!!
Argghhhh not my precious guns what will I have left to cling to!!!!!
This from a person who was apologizing to Islamists yesterday. Who wrote the Quran, Froggy? Are Muslims just as ignorant and intolerant for their beliefs? Or for that matter, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. Do you believe people should be ridiculed for worshipping cows? You’re very inconsistent when it comes to your disdain for religion.
BTW – Kennedy’s logic on the child rape decision is so tortured that he would have been better off just scribbling “I am the law” on the decision with a crayon. It should be clear to anyone paying attention that the high court has decided that whim is what drives them.
Well I think it is safe to say there is a 5-4 majority for my side which will become 6-3 after an Obama presidency at the very least. You people are being shoved so far toward irrelivance that it is hilarious.
Well when the SC rules it unconstitutional to cling to guns or religion EG then I am sure the suicide rate will double. Hey do not worry though you can still be racist.
Carin to you truth means parody. I am CONVINCED. Isn’t your hate speech and propaganda getting blared out of an AM radio right now? Why are you here instead of yelling how much you hate librools at your car stereo?
Actually, I’m moving to Hawaii. So I figure I’ll just help the natives agitate for secession and then eventually retire to a life of surfing and watching sunsets through a haze of some primo home grain strains.
No, honestly, Proggs. Why don’t you prove you are not a parody by listing exactly why you support the Fairness Doctrine. Go ahead. See if you can speak beyond he talking points.
Maui, best surfing on the planet. You can sit on the beach and cling to your gun. You could also take up clinging to your bible, gun, and surfboard at the same time you yell racial epitaphs at the top of your lungs.
Well the Fairness Doctrine would help stop the corporate monopoly from controlling our PUBLIC airwaves. I own them as well as you, not some corporate shill from clear channel. This would stop the hate speech also that is talk radio, as in every time Lush Rimbaugh opened his mouth there would have to be equal fair time for other points of view other than hate and propaganda. We license broadcasters, we should have some control of their product. Why are you so repelled by other points of view? Is your worldview so fragile that if you hear someone else your eardrums will pop?
Kauai is my favorite, then Maui, but for availability of jobs and to please my wife who craves “city living” it’s going to be Oahu.
Interestingly enough, the only time I’ve ever been the victim of violent crime was on Kauai. A passing car threw a 40oz beer bottle at my windshield and shattered it while we were driving. That sucked. Probably they knew I was a warmongering Republican.
This would stop the hate speech also that is talk radio, as in every time Lush Rimbaugh opened his mouth there would have to be equal fair time for other points of view other than hate and propaganda.
Oooh, so would that mean everytime John Stewert or Steve Colbert makes a Bush joke, a guy is gonna try out and make an Obama joke? Or for every lefty Hollywood soldier are psychotic murderer’s move, we’d get one that depicted them as honorable and heroic? “Cause that would be, like, SO COOL. Plus, would my local paper start allowing divergent opinions as well? I may get on board with you on this …
But, I’m guessing you only care about “faireness” of AM radio, which is the only media outlet that has a conservative bent. I wonder why that is?
We license broadcasters, we should have some control of their product. Why are you so repelled by other points of view? Is your worldview so fragile that if you hear someone else your eardrums will pop?
See, now that’s a hoot. The fairness doctrine is driven by those who want to shut up Rush Limbaugh, yet I’m being accused of not wanting to hear divergent opinions. I need to SEARCH out conservative voices, because for the majority of the day I’m ACCOSTED by liberal opinion.
Obviously ProggHero hasn’t heard of FM radio, XM, Sirius, ABC, CBS, NBC, or any of those other channels. The Fairness Doctrine, yeah because Free Speech is such a messy thing.
Plus the Corporate Boogeyman! Corporate America!!! Flee!!!!
Observe that Jeff and PH don’t comment on the same threads…
PH: If fascists succeed in censoring free speech with a “Fairness” doctrine, those ideas will move to alternative media. Which is why I am intrigued by the liberal captivation with “fairness” on AM radio. With satellite radio, multiplex AM and FM which make multiple channels available on each frequency on both dials, there’s plenty of space and opportunity for liberal booshwah on the air. Moreover, Air America failed to attract an audience, not because of a monopoly preventing access to airtime – Clear Channell had it on WCKY, a 50,000 watt midwestern station that carried AA drivel 24 hours each day for months. Clear Channel operatd it at a loss since it couldn’t attract an audience large enough to earn its own way.
That seems to indicate that the liberal message has been rejected by people free to choose. Is that what bothers you?
There is no option for left wing opinion on AM dials. Every channel is either praise god or Lushburger. To say left wing commentary has had a fair shake on AM radio is a fallicy.
TheGeezer, don’t forget that ClearChannel pushed some pretty popular stations off the air in favor of AA in major markets; I especially remember hearing about a station in NYC being taken over.
Right on PH! You need to figure a way to make people listen to Air America. If they won’t then the natural course of action is to muzzle Rush Limbaugh, or make Sean Hannity get a mohawk.
There is no option for left wing opinion on AM dials. Every channel is either praise god or Lushburger. To say left wing commentary has had a fair shake on AM radio is a fallicy.
Air America gave it a go. They sucked. Sorry.
But, if you look on the FM dial, you will find many music and sports stations that happily support liberal issues and candidates. Just not under the title of “talk radio.” My husband can’t even listen to sports radio anymore, because they go – so often- off on their liberal tangents.
The only way to ensure that people listen to both sides is to make them, PH. Otherwise they might just change the channel or something. The exercise of free will must be curtailed at the level of the station owners and at the level of consumer. Otherwise you will not be sure everything is fair. There is simply no other way.
Well if my point of view is so preposterous, then how come you have a boat load of senators and congressmen and the next president willing to go along with it?
Of course, we are going to need some sort of council to determine the ideological position of every statement uttered to ensure that equal time will be given to the other side. The department of ideological purity perhaps? Then we will need another, larger department to ensure that the listeners are getting a balanced take on all issues. Which will mean you might have to get use to someone else changing the channel for you to ensure your daily quotas are met. Just think of all those jobs created.
None of you would be happy unless every American is tied up and forced to listen to corporate add slogans and Lushburger 24 hours a day.
Just checking: Does The Cartoon Network beam their programming right out of your head? Because your vision of the people here is Anime worthy and about as real.
Well if my point of view is so preposterous, then how come you have a boat load of senators and congressmen and the next president willing to go along with it?
Well if my point of view is so preposterous, then how come you have a boat load of senators and congressmen and the next president willing to go along with it?
Well if my point of view is so preposterous, then how come you have a boat load of senators and congressmen and the next president willing to go along with it?
Well that explains the fact that Congress has accomplished, in the last 2 years, … oh, what’s that word I’m looking for … it’s right on the tip of my tongue ..Oh! Oh, I know! … NOTHING!
It’s a real bitch gettin’ old.
Perhaps that boat is the Ship of Fools? Just sayin’…
Possibly the second worse president in modern times, ronald altzhiemers ketchup as a vegitable AIDS spreading homeless killing reagan, got rid of the Fairness Doctrine. It is time to put the final nail in the conservative movement and reinstate it. Do not be mad we do it for your own good, what you have done to this country is sick.
Well if my point of view is so preposterous, then how come you have a boat load of senators and congressmen and the next president willing to go along with it?
Didn’t we already do a thread investigating this phenomena? Try to keep up Proggs.
I still have not got an answer yet, if my point of view is so STUPID, then why the hell do alot of people support it, and why did it work before 1980?
A little thought experiment let’s do some revision.
“I still have not got an answer yet, if my point of view is so STUPID [slavery], then why the hell d[id] alot of people support it, and why did it work before 1[86]0?”
Oh, yea, how’s that War on Poverty going? How about the Great Society? Vietnam War? How did Carter do with inflation? No more Nuclear plants? No more drilling for oil?
Wow, you are right! Where has all of the “success” gone?
If you’d stop being so greedy and let the gov take your income to spread around, the War on Poverty would be going a lot better. It’s those greedy Corporate Americans who want those tax breaks that ruin it for the lesser fortunate ones.
It didn’t work before 1980, which is why it was eliminated. Which doesn’t mean it won’t work this time. Come on brother, we are going to remake man in a fair image.
Lots of people supported the Klan, Nazi’s and Smurfs cartoons at one point, which doesn’t mean they weren’t evil. It just means people are stupid, which is actually a helpful argument for the coming of the new age of ideological stormtroopers Federal idea evaluators.
It didn’t work before 1980, except for keeping political opinion speech off of the airwaves, because station owners didn’t want the hassle of submitting their programming to Speech Commissars for approval.
Face it ProggTard, no one wants to listen to leftwing morons on the radio. Air America is case in point; all that Soros money couldn’t keep it afloat and the rest of America wasn’t buying any. But, then again, we know you don’t like the market deciding on ideas and would prefer some Speech nanny to approve of whats on the radio. I wonder if you support a “Fairness Doctrine” as applied to University Professors, or is the marketplace of ideas too sacred when its chockful of Neo-Marxists?
The leftwing politicians support it because it will shut down their major critics and you know it.
If you’d stop being so greedy and let the gov take your income to spread around, the War on Poverty would be going a lot better. It’s those greedy Corporate Americans who want those tax breaks that ruin it for the lesser fortunate ones.
Of course, Clint. We conservatives were just too miserly and allowed ONLY ABOUT SIX TRILLION DOLLARS TO BE SPENT! Cheap bastards!
With all due respect, Michelle has dissed almost everyone:

Ahhh, I feel improperly denounced! I see a confused medley of talking points from a rambling construct-a-progg (*but hat’s off to whoever is running the thing; that’s gotta hurt, putting on a costume-head ten sizes too small!) Thor I think. On meds.
Really, though, M’chelle needed a little tweaking. Good for her…soul. We wouldn’t want her to get overly cocky.
Well if my point of view is so preposterous, then how come you have a boat load of senators and congressmen and the next president willing to go along with it?
Gallup, 06/08: Congress’ approval rating hits 22%, an all-time low.
Well…..
I’m not quite sure what to make of this, Dan.
Is this a “Dan disses da missus”?
Michannibal Obama: You know what you look like to me, with your good hair and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition’s given you some length of bone, but you’re not more than one generation from poor white, Hawaiian trash, are you, Barack? And that accent you’ve tried so desperately to shed: pure West African Arab. What is your father, dear? Is he a goat herder? Does he stink of the lamb?

At least it wasn’t a fox hunt, wot?
I prefer the “thong cam”.
If the insects don’t like it, I volunteer to take their place.

That mask doesn’t go with that dress, does it? I mean, olive and magenta, come om!
I agree Roboc. That is so clashy.
Sure Lisa, but do we really want a first lady who can’t locate the fruit at her supermarket. I mean usually it’s right inside the front door.

When I’m hungry, I generally opt for food. I tried eating change when I was four. It was unpleasant.

As a grasshopper with a REALLY long tongue, I would guess.
I loved your parody, Ouroboros! Fortunately, I didn’t have anything in my mouth to contaminate my keyboard (except chronic halitosis).

Call me unpatriotic if you like, I am not proud of anything our country has done in the last 7 years.
I don’t know. What does it say about that in Leviticus?
Drug use admitted to by Democratic nominee Barack Obama = No problemo.
Drug use admitted to by wife of Republican nominee John McCain = bad, and possibly witchcraft.
Thanks for clearing that up PH. BTW – She won’t be able to eat anybody, can’t you see the muzzle?
I am not proud of anything our country has done in the last 7 years.
Really? Over the course of the last 7 years this country has deeply invested itself in saving the lives of Africans infected with HIV. Doesn’t do anything for you?
Call me unpatriotic if you like, I am not proud of anything our country has done in the last 7 years.
Not even that massive response to the Asian tsunami?
UNPATRIOTIC ASS111!!
Tsunami relief. I would mention the whole “brought one of the greatest mass murderers of the late 20th century to justice” thing, but I know PH is mad about that.
lee beat me to it.
She won’t be able to eat anybody, can’t you see the muzzle?
I hear white people and fruit(if she can find any) make for a good honkey smoothie!
Those are not the goats I knew.
Who was better off, Katrina victims or the Asian Tsunami people? I think they both got the short end of the capitalist stick.
I’m kind of proud that the FBI didn’t move in and incinerate everyone at that Texas polygamous ranch.
I think Michelle may just be difficult to please.
I get it. It’s not that your unpatriotic, per se, it’s just that were you a real boy, people would likely beat you with sticks wherever you went.
Life can be cruel.
Progg Hero is brilliant.
Edu Guy – I think it is safe to say that he is un-patriotic.
Well lee if the Supreme Court had ruled different today they would all be up for the death penalty. So who cares if the NG or a gas chamber got them, I thought you wingers were all for the death penalty?
From the Christian Science Monitor this past February:

Because George W. Bush doesn’t care about black people.
NG?
Hey, don’t put down Progghartha. He’s enlightened.
National Guard, I guess it is not surprising a repub chickenhawk is not up to date on his military lingo.
I thought you wingers were all for the death penalty?
Actually, if the Supreme Court had ruled differently, I would have no problem with a public hanging of any child rapists found at the Texas ranch. Or anywhere else. I just think it’s nice to have a trial first.
Wasn’t it a bunch of redneck Texas national guard members that stormed Waco?
ATF!
It has to be a parody. And a brilliant parody, even if it is a parody of itself.
No, ATF I think.
Facts, they are malleable in the progg world.

Hey, don’t put down Progghartha. He’s enlightened.
Anyone is enlightened when compared to people that believe cavemen 2000 years ago knew what happens when you die and how the Earth was formed.
Wrong. It was the ATF. Under whose orders?
Sorry ATF. Still probably a bunch of rednecks from Texas who thought they were throwing a barbecue.
The National Guard tried to help out Katrina victims, and were shot at!
Anyone is enlightened when compared to people that believe cavemen 2000 years ago knew what happens when you die and how the Earth was formed.
Ohhh, how cute. Proggs has found himself a nice strawman he can beat up.
PH, however, will skip to the polls come November to vote for O hnd his AWESOME God.
I wonder if abortion would be ok with you guys if the children in the christian ranch were pregnant? Oh yeah I can’t wait to watch your heads explode when the SC tommorrow holds the DC gun ban Constitutional!!!
Argghhhh not my precious guns what will I have left to cling to!!!!!
I’m sure our insight into what happens when you die has improved since then, because of public schools.
believe cavemen 2000 years ago knew what happens when you die and how the Earth was formed.
I believe it was cavemen that lived 6000 years ago that figured that out. The cavemen 2000 years ago just had it confirmed.
Somebody I can sing to . . .
Please come to LA to live forever . . .
wonder if abortion would be ok with you guys if the children in the christian ranch were pregnant?
Wonder no longer, asshat.
Oh yeah I can’t wait to watch your heads explode when the SC tommorrow holds the DC gun ban Constitutional!!!
My head will explode when all the gun-toting criminals line up to turn in their guns!
So who cares if the NG or a gas chamber got them, I thought you wingers were all for the death penalty?
I think this is an appropriate time to remind our progressive guest that he is entitled to his own opinion but not his own facts.
PH seems angrier today than normal, I wonder if his mom grounded him or something.
Least I am not bitter EG.

Well I think it is safe to say there is a 5-4 majority for my side which will become 6-3 after an Obama presidency at the very least. You people are being shoved so far toward irrelivance that it is hilarious.
Well, shit, ProggZero! I didn’t know that Janet Reno was a Texan!
She’s a tranny from Florida!
Ohrillyvance?
I wonder how many of you will commit suicide when the Fairness Doctrine is reinstated like it should be?
Excellent! I think PH just delcared victory. Bon Voyage!
Committing suicide is a mortal sin. So perhaps not as many as you would like.
Fairness Doctrine is what meme number?
Well when the SC rules it unconstitutional to cling to guns or religion EG then I am sure the suicide rate will double. Hey do not worry though you can still be racist.
I get the feeling that PH never learned about being a gracious winner.
Will there be other options available in progg utopia? Besides suicide or racism I mean.
PH prolly hasn’t had occasion to be a gracious winner yet.
Moving to a theoretical country named Canada, EG.
I wonder how many of you will commit suicide when the Fairness Doctrine is reinstated like it should be?
See, it’s comments like these that just CONVINCE me you are parody. Parody or just really, really stupid?
It could go either way from where I sit.
You are all hilariously marginalized and irrelevant, which is why I keep on hectoring you to prove it!!!

On Oahu, I will be a minority. Just thought I’d bring that up so that PH would think better of me.
They do hate tourists in Hawaii.
Or, it would have had its skull crushed during a partial-birth abortion.
“Karl that is really reaching deep into your asscrack for a diss. With all due respect, you lovely man.”
Hahahahaha! That is the most polite slam I think I’ve ever heard…
This would stop the hate speech also that is talk radio, as in every time Lush Rimbaugh opened his mouth there would have to be equal fair time for other points of view other than hate and propaganda.
Oooh, so would that mean everytime John Stewert or Steve Colbert makes a Bush joke, a guy is gonna try out and make an Obama joke? Or for every lefty Hollywood soldier are psychotic murderer’s move, we’d get one that depicted them as honorable and heroic? “Cause that would be, like, SO COOL. Plus, would my local paper start allowing divergent opinions as well? I may get on board with you on this …
But, I’m guessing you only care about “faireness” of AM radio, which is the only media outlet that has a conservative bent. I wonder why that is?
We license broadcasters, we should have some control of their product. Why are you so repelled by other points of view? Is your worldview so fragile that if you hear someone else your eardrums will pop?
See, now that’s a hoot. The fairness doctrine is driven by those who want to shut up Rush Limbaugh, yet I’m being accused of not wanting to hear divergent opinions. I need to SEARCH out conservative voices, because for the majority of the day I’m ACCOSTED by liberal opinion.
Oh so your so far to the right you consider any mainstream journalist on CNN or NPR or MSNBC to be a liberal?
PH, If you ask them, which people do from time to time, they consider themselves liberals. They admit to voting that way too.
Obviously ProggHero hasn’t heard of FM radio, XM, Sirius, ABC, CBS, NBC, or any of those other channels. The Fairness Doctrine, yeah because Free Speech is such a messy thing.
Plus the Corporate Boogeyman! Corporate America!!! Flee!!!!
Observe that Jeff and PH don’t comment on the same threads…
Dude, you’ve won. We
PH: If fascists succeed in censoring free speech with a “Fairness” doctrine, those ideas will move to alternative media. Which is why I am intrigued by the liberal captivation with “fairness” on AM radio. With satellite radio, multiplex AM and FM which make multiple channels available on each frequency on both dials, there’s plenty of space and opportunity for liberal booshwah on the air. Moreover, Air America failed to attract an audience, not because of a monopoly preventing access to airtime – Clear Channell had it on WCKY, a 50,000 watt midwestern station that carried AA drivel 24 hours each day for months. Clear Channel operatd it at a loss since it couldn’t attract an audience large enough to earn its own way.
That seems to indicate that the liberal message has been rejected by people free to choose. Is that what bothers you?
Name three conservatives other than Joe Scarborough, Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, and John McGlaughlin on those networks.
There is no option for left wing opinion on AM dials. Every channel is either praise god or Lushburger. To say left wing commentary has had a fair shake on AM radio is a fallicy.
Well, the mainstream journalists on CNN, NPR and MSNBC all consider themselves to be liberals, so how far right are they?
TheGeezer, don’t forget that ClearChannel pushed some pretty popular stations off the air in favor of AA in major markets; I especially remember hearing about a station in NYC being taken over.
Kraut, Wolfe Blitzer, and Brian Williams. Whats your point?
Because liberalism is getting so popular among the electorate that nobody wants to listen to it on the radio.
Or something.
Mmmmmmmmmmm. Fallicious.
Oh so your so far to the right you consider any mainstream journalist on CNN or NPR or MSNBC to be a liberal?
Here’s an alternative interpretation – you are so far left you consider CNN, NPR, and MSNBC to be mainstream.
Krauthammer’s a commentator. Blitzer and Williams … really? So, they voted for Bush 41 in 1992, and Bob Dole in 1996?
A Wolfe of No Tone.
Right on PH! You need to figure a way to make people listen to Air America. If they won’t then the natural course of action is to muzzle Rush Limbaugh, or make Sean Hannity get a mohawk.
McGhee noone voted for Dole.
What, the Monkees guy?
I never said make people listen, just that they should hear both sides if they do.
There is no option for left wing opinion on AM dials. Every channel is either praise god or Lushburger. To say left wing commentary has had a fair shake on AM radio is a fallicy.
Air America gave it a go. They sucked. Sorry.
But, if you look on the FM dial, you will find many music and sports stations that happily support liberal issues and candidates. Just not under the title of “talk radio.” My husband can’t even listen to sports radio anymore, because they go – so often- off on their liberal tangents.
Kraut, Wolfe Blitzer, and Brian Williams. Whats your point?
I don’t know who Kraut is, and Blitzer and Williams are not conservatives.
“I never said make people listen, just that they should hear both sides if they do.”
I think you broke the irony meter.
None of you would be happy unless every American is tied up and forced to listen to corporate add slogans and Lushburger 24 hours a day.
…which means, “make people listen.”
The only way to ensure that people listen to both sides is to make them, PH. Otherwise they might just change the channel or something. The exercise of free will must be curtailed at the level of the station owners and at the level of consumer. Otherwise you will not be sure everything is fair. There is simply no other way.
Troggy, what have you got against Brent Musberger?
Now you’re just not trying, Proggs.
I think I had a Lushburger at Hooters.
It’s all a bit hazy…
Well if my point of view is so preposterous, then how come you have a boat load of senators and congressmen and the next president willing to go along with it?
Of course, we are going to need some sort of council to determine the ideological position of every statement uttered to ensure that equal time will be given to the other side. The department of ideological purity perhaps? Then we will need another, larger department to ensure that the listeners are getting a balanced take on all issues. Which will mean you might have to get use to someone else changing the channel for you to ensure your daily quotas are met. Just think of all those jobs created.
Just checking: Does The Cartoon Network beam their programming right out of your head? Because your vision of the people here is Anime worthy and about as real.
It’s like you’re a preposterboy for moonbattery.
That’s how we know it’s preposterous.
Because of the Patriarchy?!
Well that explains the fact that Congress has accomplished, in the last 2 years, … oh, what’s that word I’m looking for … it’s right on the tip of my tongue ..Oh! Oh, I know! … NOTHING!
It’s a real bitch gettin’ old.
Perhaps that boat is the Ship of Fools? Just sayin’…
Wasn’t there a Saturday morning cartoon show once, called “Artemus, the Preposterous Rhinoceros”?
Maybe I’m thinking of some other cartoon. Hey Harv, did you get that thing I sent you?
I still have not got an answer yet, if my point of view is so STUPID, then why the hell do alot of people support it, and why did it work before 1980?
It’s so hard to keep the memes straight these days. There are so many groups tossing them out all the time.
Wow, this is like wack-a-mole with arthritic groundhogs!
Come on, oh earnest proggie, stick your head up again!
Possibly the second worse president in modern times, ronald altzhiemers ketchup as a vegitable AIDS spreading homeless killing reagan, got rid of the Fairness Doctrine. It is time to put the final nail in the conservative movement and reinstate it. Do not be mad we do it for your own good, what you have done to this country is sick.
Well if my point of view is so preposterous, then how come you have a boat load of senators and congressmen and the next president willing to go along with it?
Didn’t we already do a thread investigating this phenomena? Try to keep up Proggs.
A little thought experiment let’s do some revision.
“I still have not got an answer yet, if my point of view is so STUPID [slavery], then why the hell d[id] alot of people support it, and why did it work before 1[86]0?”
Oh, yea, how’s that War on Poverty going? How about the Great Society? Vietnam War? How did Carter do with inflation? No more Nuclear plants? No more drilling for oil?
Wow, you are right! Where has all of the “success” gone?
WHACK!
Hey! Don’t hurt the thing . . . just poke it.
How am I hurt? You are the ones being rejected overwhelmingly at the ballot box.
Why are you all here anyway? Shouldn’t you be out spreading viral emails calling Obama a hated Moooslim?
I am half sick of sheeple! cried the Lady of Alot.
BJ,
If you’d stop being so greedy and let the gov take your income to spread around, the War on Poverty would be going a lot better. It’s those greedy Corporate Americans who want those tax breaks that ruin it for the lesser fortunate ones.

It didn’t work before 1980, which is why it was eliminated. Which doesn’t mean it won’t work this time. Come on brother, we are going to remake man in a fair image.
Lots of people supported the Klan, Nazi’s and Smurfs cartoons at one point, which doesn’t mean they weren’t evil. It just means people are stupid, which is actually a helpful argument for the coming of the new age of
ideological stormtroopersFederal idea evaluators.Ronald Reagan had AIDS? Poor Nancy…
WHACK!
Hey, if the Fairness Doctrine get’s reinstated does that mean that MSNBC has to hire Mike savage back again.. ?
Why all the bashing of MSNBC? It is not halfway as much to the left as faux news is to the right.
And Brian Williams is a conservative.
Is it still twitching? It’s no fun if it isn’t at least twitching.
Back up, guys. Give it some room.
It didn’t work before 1980, except for keeping political opinion speech off of the airwaves, because station owners didn’t want the hassle of submitting their programming to Speech Commissars for approval.
Face it ProggTard, no one wants to listen to leftwing morons on the radio. Air America is case in point; all that Soros money couldn’t keep it afloat and the rest of America wasn’t buying any. But, then again, we know you don’t like the market deciding on ideas and would prefer some Speech nanny to approve of whats on the radio. I wonder if you support a “Fairness Doctrine” as applied to University Professors, or is the marketplace of ideas too sacred when its chockful of Neo-Marxists?
The leftwing politicians support it because it will shut down their major critics and you know it.
Racists.
Of course, Clint. We conservatives were just too miserly and allowed ONLY ABOUT SIX TRILLION DOLLARS TO BE SPENT! Cheap bastards!
WHACK! WHACK!
I call parody: Thor? Is that you, you magnificent bastard?
You forget the massive redistribution of wealth upwards BJ, bush economy is more like trickle up not trickle down.
Hmm. It looked like a twitch, but I think it’s just regurgitating now. Later.
Brava, Frog Hero. You are wonderful.
Wow, this is like wack-a-mole with arthritic groundhogs!
Arthritic, blind, sore-ridden, and, I think, slightly retarded.
It might be bordering on bullying to whack and torment the thing. probably best just to leave it to it’s misery. The dogs* will get him soon enough.
Reagan was resposible for the spread of AIDS? I thought it was spread by…
Never mind, this is a family-friendly blog.
Re #160 … I think we killed it. I mean, that was so half-hearted. Wasn’t even in all caps.
Ahhh, I feel improperly denounced! I see a confused medley of talking points from a rambling construct-a-progg (*but hat’s off to whoever is running the thing; that’s gotta hurt, putting on a costume-head ten sizes too small!) Thor I think. On meds.
Really, though, M’chelle needed a little tweaking. Good for her…soul. We wouldn’t want her to get overly cocky.
We (America) are after all, a mean country.

No. A bunch of overreaching liberal ATF twats and FBI facisti led by your hero WJC.
