These things happen.
Henry is so bad, he's even given bucks to Carol Moseley Braun. Now that's what I call detached from reality.
Even here on FR, not everyone agrees.
Short fella.
Because the answer is one they don't like?
Nice reference.
I was thinking that they go out of their way to show pictures of Bush with his mouth open or squinting. Thewwy are actually trying to make Kerry look good and manly.
How very sad.
I've wondered this for years, also. But they tend to be evasive even with straightforward questions. Ask a liberal what they do, they may say 'I'm a writer.' What have you written? 'I've written for magazines.' What magazines? 'Some political journals...'
It's maddening at times. I like to be direct in these situations and press them until they reveal they are a proofreader for a huge law firm who gets letters printed now and then in 'Socialist Worker .'
On a side note, I love Glenn Beck. He's just so very funny.
Always knew winkler was a liberal. Too bad.
More typical liberal tolerance, though.

Well, the liberals are at it again. The release of Ann Coulter?s new book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, has them in a tizzy and the news that it is debuting at number one on the bestseller list has them frothing at the mouth even more.
Simon Dumenco, a columnist for the respected political journal Advertising Age wrote, "Would it kill you to do us all a favor and kill yourself? (Oh, well, yeah, I guess it would kill you.)" CBS's David Letterman "joked" about the situation, saying, "Here's what we know about Ann Coulter. She's blonde, she's single, and well, maybe someone would set her up with OJ."
What kind of people wish other people dead just because they disagree with them politically? I have not heard a single liberal condemn these hateful remarks. Is their hatred so deep that this is considered acceptable?
On top of that, two liberal state legislators in New Jersey have called for Coulter's book to be removed from all bookstores in that state. Assemblywomen Joan Quigley and Linda Stender say they want New Jersey retailers to "ban the sale of [Coulter's] book throughout the state." I thought liberals were against banning books. Why not just burn them and get it over with? We can have a big bonfire party!
(I'm thinking of buying a bookstore in New Jersey in case they actually enact this. I would get millions of dollars worth of free publicity by openly and publicly defying the ban and demanding that they try to prosecute me for it.)
This sounds like the totalitarian mentality to me. Where is the tolerance about which liberals are always lecturing everyone else?
I've started watching his show with some frequency. But I have to wonder if he'll be around long.
Note what he said, "Mute her". This is what the left did to Dr. Laura's tv show before it ever went on the air.
If Mr. Winkler had the "Click" remote, he could always change the channel. Muting her is to deny her speech.
A boycott is to say "I won't pay for this". The networks, studios, publishers, etc. are free to choose sides.
In the Dr. Laura case, she didn't even get to do anything on tv they disagreed with.
Tolerance for many of them is sort of a selective thing. If someone goes too far, they must be silenced one way or another.
They are despots.
We ask that taxpayer funded schools sever their ties with left wing crackpots (like Ward Churchill) but is there as large an outcry when private schools hire moonbats?
We ask that traitors be tried for treason and although it is unlikely, it has been done in America. The number of people tried during WWII was very small but there were some broadcasters among them.
We don't like to be forced to subsidize the left. We don't like to be exposed to only the left's viewpoint (especially under the guise of impartiality). We may disagree with the words and deeds of the left (and providing aid and comfort to the enemy is NOT protected speech) but we don't call for hit squads to silence the dissenters. Not like the left.
Political correctness ("tolerance") is about criminalizing conservative thought.
There is no protection for diversity of political thought. They are free to discriminate against you. Vandalizing your property or assaulting your person carry no "hate crimes" charges even if they hate all Republicans.
Diversity training is just another term for political re-education.
Everyone talks about censorship but this actually IS censorship because it is done under the power and authority of government (or some other official body).
The ACLU is MIA as usual.
Fonzie is about as smart as this bozo trying to "be cool" too.
He might. He is probably bringing in a bigger audience then CNN is used to having. That is if CNN looks to the business side of it and not the political. THe show is good, but I do prefer his radio show more.
Dr. Laura is a different issue - although since when was government involved? It was just enough (liberal) people getting involved enough to shut her down. That's their right.
We have the right not to watch and listen and even lobby others to not give a soapbox as much as we have to spout off ourselves. That is NOT covered by the 1st Amend (which BTW is actually only directed at Congress).
