    Never listened to him, but I can see by his reaction that he is conservo maggot. He basically apologized as he claimed teh whole thing was BS. Conservo maggot? LOL That's a good one.

    You mean you don't think "the Doody family" won the event. Here's a quote from wikipedia:

    Yeah. The BBC kicks ass! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/2698507.stm

    I meant the overall repercussions for the networks. Sorry I didn't mention that earlier.

    And that would be the truth.... All these people screaming, your beef isn't with CBS or MSNBC or program directors or anybody associated with the radio stations. Your beef is with the advertisers who pulled or threatened to pull their money. That is what got Imus fired. CBS lost money. With all the publicity and controversy, the Imus ratings would have went through the roof. For every advertiser that pulled out they could have found several to bring in with the expected huge increase in listeners. The CBS decision was political, not economic. Even if it seemed political, in the long run it's about ratings, which is economic. Imus's numbers may have climbed, but I'm guessing (yes, this is just a guess) the bigwigs at both broadcasters also considered all the repercussions of keeping Imus.

    If only we had the racial harmony of Britain (or France). Perhaps we should use the behavior of your genteel football fans as a model for what is appropriate.

    Advertisers are concerned about their bottom lines. Both Jackson and Sharpton have long histories of flaunting the race card in front of corporations, in order to pressure those corporations to provide certain concessions. Translation: Do what I want or I'll make a huge public stink and your sales will suffer.

    Let me know if your stumped on the meaning of "ho".

    I think it's because her targets are typically part of "the power structure" - NRA, Trump, the military, the government. These targets are fair game in the eyes of those who are easily offended. What stirs up all the righteous indignation in this country is when someone in "the power structure" demeans anyone linked to the supposed "underclass". Apparently, it's taboo to criticize anyone in the "underclass", no matter how bad their behavior. Is it a double standard? Absolutely. Political correctness is alive and well in 2007.

    LOL This back-pedalling trash talk is quite amusing! Thanks for your informed input about this article not really being an article. Were you saying writings that express opinions are not articles? If so, where'd you get your definition?

    You mean the uniformed soldiers, who stood at attention in perfect rows and offered "Sig Heil"s on cue? Excellent comparison. Just last month Bush spoke at a GM plant. Do you really think those union people are on par with Nazi faithful? I, too, have noted some people have a particularly distorted view of history in relation to current events.

    http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2461541#2461541 Yesterday, you compared any gathering GOP gatherings to nazi rallies of the 1930s. Here's what you had to say about conservatives: While I didn't find where you had directly called someone a nazi, you do seem to like the label.
  16. NCclimber
    You frequently bring up that you think you are held to a much stricter standard than posters who disagree with you,... as if you never get away with inflammatory insults and others are rarely, if ever, called for the same. Do you really believe this?
  17. NCclimber
    Sorry, "fascist whuffo nutsacks"? You forgot rightwing, neocon, nazis.

    Apparently, the filmmakers played a little fast and loose with some of the claims made by several leading scholars, featured in the film. Those scholars are now going public to clear up the misrepresentations. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?apage=1&cid=1176152766396&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

    Slippery fella, ain'tcha? It was your generalization. Sorry you seem to have a problem with my bringing it back up.

    This whole tangential discussion came about from your assertion that "the Bush administration has quite thoroughly done away with such legalistic archaisms". IMO Examples of certain standards being ignored doesn't mean/prove they have been "quite thoroughly done away". And neither does one example of a President (arguable) violating the Constitution prove that he has trampled it. By that standard, Clinton trampled it quite soundly... but I don't agree with that standard.

    Isn't it the case that an individual can be imprisoned indefinitely if G.W. Bush declares him to be an enemy combatant, without any proof being required? Are you talking about the rare cases of innocent Americans being detained or the general claim of "The Bush administration has quite thoroughly done away with such legalistic archaisms"? Rare or commonplace is not relevant. Once is enough to prove the point. What exactly is the point? That the exception proves that the norm has been quite thoroughly done away with? "prove" in that context means "test", not "confirm". If someone finds a map that needs 5 colors, it won't confirm the validity of the 4-color theorem. Oh. Okay. By that logic, one peer-reviewed study debunking anthropogenic global warming demonstrates it isn't occurring.

    How did you conclude that we are spending nine times #2 in defense spending? What's your source? As a percentage of GDP we're 46th.
  23. NCclimber
    Because, apparently, that's a whole lot less fun than say, screaming names like children. [shrug]... Which explains why our "news" programming has taken this turn for the worse. I put a lot of onus on our leadership and our news outlets for this national regression. They're setting poor examples for all of us and we're following suit. Baaaa, baaaa

    You did post an interesting story. Unfortunately, it was produced by the "Voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party,USA", which IMO screams extremist propaganda.... but that's just me. If some leftwing syndicated columnist made the same claims, I might question those claims, but at least I'd know the writer has some accountability. That's not really the case with the "Voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party,USA".

    I'd guess just about all cultures throughout history are/were pretty homosocial. What's your point?
