June 16, 200719 yr The right wing talk shows were all abuzz yesterday after Senator Lott made comments against these talk shows hampering the Immigration Bill that is taking a beating in the Senate... http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/15/washington/15immig.html?ei=5099&en=0fadcc32e711981d&ex=1182484800&adxnnl=1&partner=TOPIXNEWS&adxnnlx=1181927333-P5hPmYu7q38uxSRhO18Guw
June 16, 200719 yr Author It was these same talk shows (Rush, Hannity, and Savage) that defended Lott when he was being attacked for the comments he made at Strom Thurman's 100th birthday party...
June 16, 200719 yr “Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.” Yeah... all they have to do is nullify the First Amendment to the Constitution. I'd say the odds are good... they've already perverted it ot remove any vestige of faith from the public arena.

I'd say the odds are good... they've already perverted it ot remove any vestige of faith from the public arena. Yup, that dastardly Godless liberal Trent Lott. Right wing radio is hate mongering 'entertainment' masquerading as analysis. At least the liberal equivalent (The Daily Show) is on Comedy Central. It doesn't need to be legislated out of existence... but does it need to be countered with the truth? I think ol' Trent is on to something there.

June 16, 200719 yr “Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.” Yeah... all they have to do is nullify the First Amendment to the Constitution. Maybe the Republicans are fasicsts after all. This is all about the horrible amnesty bill that Bush and other despicable politicians are trying to sneak through under our very noses. Politicians have quit caring about what the people want. This is now a government of the politicians, by the politicians and for the politicians.

I think ol' Trent is on to something there. That nasty old 1st amendment. And before you have a chance, yes liberals and leftys have the constitutional right to express their views BUT they do not have a constitutional right to an audience. People CHOOSE to listen to conservative talk radio. Do you really think you can force them to listen to leftys? If the fairness docterine is passed will leftys make up for the revenue that radio stations will lose when they are FORCED to give equal time to leftys or are those on the left just hoping that radio stations won't chance it and drop conservative talk radio? Does anyone else see this as I do, the leftys being upset because this is the one media where their presence is a clear minority view?

June 16, 200719 yr Leftys like Trent Lott? Keep fishin'... No leftys like you. Keep dodging. Yes or no. Do you think the fairnesss docterine should be resurected?
June 17, 200719 yr I would argue that Oprah runs America. If 'ol Trent figures out how to stop Oprah, Springer, and Sally Jesse, then I'll listen with open ears about Rush and Hannity. Personally, I think we all ought to listen to Medved, who at least talks about non-political topics once in a while.
June 17, 200719 yr This just goes to show you how worthless conservative talk radio is. They hold their tongues when disasterously anti-conservative legislation and policy is foisted on the American people (Medicare drug entitlement, steel tariffs, shameless Federal spending, tax cuts during "wartime"). And they throw an absolute hissy fit when a reasonable compromise to the problem of illegal immigration is proposed. What do these bloody idiots think we're going to do--literally round up and deport 12 million people (many of whom now have children who are American citizens by birth?). I honestly think so-called conservative gasbags like Limbaugh deep down want this bill to fail because they want to keep the status quo--an inexhaustible supply of cheap, unregulated labor from south of the border for business interests.
June 17, 200719 yr No leftys like you. Keep dodging. Yes or no. Do you think the fairnesss docterine should be resurected? I don't understand. Trent Lott is a Republican.

This makes no sense. Nobody but the jokes in DC we call politicians like this bill. You really need to take a closer look at this bill and see what Bush and Kennedy are trying to force feed us. The only thing it guarantees is that our borders will be wide open.
