There have been two females with ultra leftist views allowed on Fox to comment on the Schiavo situation. They have been on Hannity and Colmes and now this morning on Fox and friends. One is a younger female who sports a t-shirt with a Youth Communist Movement graphic on it and the other lady can't articulate anything other than trashing Randall Terry for his pro-life beliefs. I have to wonder how the producers on the two different shows have allowed these two people air time. I'm all for freedom of speech, but I believe these two points of view are too far out of the mainstream.

I think all the FReepers have switched to some Dan dude on MSNBC. But I don't follow group-think.

I like having the nutjobs on. They need the exposure so Americans can see the true left.

Perhaps it is an attempt to show just who the loonies on the other side are.

I'm glad they're giving them air time. It's always good to display the goofyness of the left.

You should change the topic to "What's wrong with all news outlets" with their endless coverage of the Schiavo situation. Talk too much coverage.

I guess the nice thing is that the constant coverage of this story has finally forced me to stop watching Fox News altogether. Sean Hannity was just annoying enough to keep watching, but really despise Fox News' sensationalism.

Now if FR will go back to normal and not have every other story be a posting about Schiavo.

I hope they keep giving Randall Terry and these two odd broads air-time. Mainstream folks will get completely turned off by the extremes from both the left and the right.

Linda Vester was siding with the pro-death movement yesterday during her show. I'm growing to like Lou Dobbs more every day.

This was on an earlier thread too- all I could do was laugh.

Who knows what the editor's intentions are? I've read some rhetoric from Randall Terry that's equally extreme. As a matter of fact- both the silly communist and Terry have said "When we take over"...such and such will happen.

Shortly before they were interviewed on FoxNews, the onsite Fox reporter was asked if there were any counter-protestors at the site of the Terry Schiavo. He responded that "the only people at the protest who seemed to be supporting Michael Schiavo were two women from the Revolutionary Communist Party".

That probably made them sound interesting enough for Fox to want to get them on. Fox apparently wanted people to see what sort of people were protesting for the Pro-Death cause.

Fox is just showcasing the idiots. Nothing demonstrates the stupidity of the left like their own words.

How could it be fair and balanced, if they never presented the other side? Just because they are on, doesn't mean you're going to start thinking like them, does it?

Another observation:

I've noticed Chris Matthews has been having Amy Goodman on HARDBOILED a lot recently as a talking head. What is more, he provides no real identification of her except maybe as a "commentator on Democracy Now!" when in fact this creep is a virulently anti-American Communist.

Are they cute?

I don't think we have much to fear from 'youth communists' being given enough rope on live TV. On those grounds - and the all important ecology of diverse opinions - I see nothing wrong with this.

But are they cute?
