Answering that very question in the comments to his piece, Ebert claims Obama is against the fairness doctrine. He really is ill.

I will point out that McCain too appeared to be a supporter of restricting free speech on the Right on radio and the internet. There are those within the ranks of the GOP who do NOT like the outbursts from conservatives against Harriet Meyers, and other challenges to the leadership.

I’m curious - how are the comments to his article running? Anyone asking him how he reconciles Obamanazi the healer with the creep who sat in Reverend Hater’s church for 20 years?

Obama has said he is against the Fairness Doctrine. So we must take him after his word because, he’s never lied, right? LOL.

I have to wonder will it even be worth the Dems’ effort to try this. They have done very well even with conservative talk radio. It’s like Rush, Hannity and the rest of them are no threat to the Dems’ power base. They might as well not bother with the uproar it will cause. They can stick with the rest of their far left agenda.

If ever a president was elected by we the people, he is that president.

Roger, Roger, Roger. A subjective pronoun after a preposition?

McCain was not my candidate. I voted for Sarah.

“They were sent to endanger their lives by zealots with occult objectives.”

Wha? I can’t even make sense of this sentence without taking it as a Nazi reference. Therefore, I stopped reading at this point.

I think there is a possibility that Condoleezza Rice voted for Obama.

That may be the only thing he got right in this piece of tripe article.

“Recount”? You mean the movie that had shrewd Republicans looking for any and every way to steal the election and Democrats reluctantly looking high and low for the “real” results? I loved it (for all the wrong reasons)!

That’s the one. Republcians were scheming monsters and Democrats were blushing Bambis.

“He won because of a factor the pundits never mentioned. He was the grown-up.”

Actually, the MSM (and quite a few CINOs) lied about McCain being erratic and Obama being preturnaturally mature ad nauseum. I mean, I know Howard Dean appeared to lose it on a loop a few years ago, but there’s nothing special about Obama’s cool. Show me the tape where McCain loses his stuff, and I’ll retract my statements.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they TALK of bringing back the fairness doctrine (as a veiled threat to the Right and to energize the Left) while engaging in more indirect efforts like the harassment of most of the major talk radio hosts in a witchhunt (in the mid-2000s, Michael Savage, Bill Bennett, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly and others all had scandals, some spurned on by erroneous redactions by Soros’ Media Matters).

Rush took such harassment so seriously after getting “exposed” at the Florida airport that he actively chose not to leave the country until after the election (no overseas vacations).

The shadow government, as Joe the Plumber saw, will abuse the powers of office. People who were worried what Bush would do with “power” neglected to consider how Hillary illegally had 1,000 FBI files and didn’t give a damn that it was against the law. Democrats are going to engage in such digging whether the law permits them to or not. And don’t expect investigations into privacy violation.

If McCain is alive in 4 years, he should go on the Tonight Show, regardless of who’s hosting, and give “the finger” to his critics.

635 people gave it a 10 out of 10 star rating on IMDB.

Is there anyone who would actually PUBLICLY state that “Recount” was one of the greatest movies ever made???

Well, I seem to remember it winning a few statues at the Emmys. So “the industry” publicly supported it. Of course, the industry gives Emmys to HBO like candy to children on Halloween. Which is not to say that the John Adams miniseries didn’t deserve it, ‘cause it did.

Mr. Ebert, you are suffering from nothing that a handful of sleeping pills cannot fix.

I didn’t realize that in addition to being boring Ebert was insane too.

Maybe sitting through all of those crappy movies zapped his cortex and he’s running on just his medula.

Wall Street is still voting.

This land (ours, yours, or whatever) is down another 400 points today.

The biggest losses EVER following a presidential election.

Good work Obambi.

Zealotry is a term that refers to an overwhelming religiously fanatic.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/zealot

He could be referring to Jewish resistance against Palestinians.

But the word “occult” is the giveaway.

He's claiming that the war in Iraq was started by theocons (superstitious Right Wing Christians) intent on bringing about the Apocalypse (in part by teaming up with the Jews over Israel).
