There used to be a "Hall of Shame." I think it was a creation of John Stossel.

I suggest that a "Hall of Traitors" be started and I nominate CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, National Peoples Radio, Dan Blather, Ted Koppel, Tom Brokow, Michael Moore, Bruce Springstein, The Dixie Chicks, Jane Fonda, Senator Murray as the initial inductees.

Other nominations welcome!

Listen to the audio here of O'Neill vs. Koppel (can also download the Dennis Miller/Leno appearance where he says Bush wakes up, scratches himself, and wants to go kill some terrorists if you want by going to the file folder of the site where the clip is hosted):

Marlon and veterans on Free Republic: (could someone ping veterans and military families) The tactics of ABC are over the top this election year. It's not the first time ABC's Nightline has pulled this stuff only it just keeps getting worse. Seems to me we shouldn't have to put up with it even beyond changing the dial. I get angry just knowing other people are listening.

I'm volunteering my time to spread the news about an effort to convince Clear Channel Communication to take action against ABC like Sinclair Broadcasting did with Koppel. I think the only way to hurt these people is reducing the market share. Two groups I belong to are doing a couple things.

1. Suggesting Clear Channel dump ABC news feeds in favor of Fax News.
Click this link to send an email Clear Channel Executives.

2. Sending messages of appreciation to Sinclaire's Mark Hyman
Click this link to send Mark Hyman a thank you e-mail.

I don't know if any of this helps but I can't just sit by and do nothing. We're still doing voter reg until Monday and trying to help turn out the vote. Wish there was more I could do. Suggestions?

Can someone tell me where to find VetsCorp on FR? Think they might help? My first post here was ABC - You're fired! Should Clear Channel learn something from Sinclair Broadcasting? but I didn't know where it should go.

It's inspiring to see how John O'Neill keeps "plugging away."

He graduated first in his class at University of Texas law school and clerked for Rehnquist (although Nixon may have pulled some strings to get Rehnquist to take him). Now he's a partner in a law firm with his name in it. He is by all accounts an extremely competent and successful lawyer.

He's the perfect political operative: he's a man of honor and skill, who understands politics and how to make a case in a courtroom (how to put arguments together). He's tough enough that he can go on Nightline and duke it out with Ted Koppel. He's got enough charisma to get hundreds of Swift Vets and POWs to join him. And he's not a sleazeball like most political ops, so he isn't going to shoot himself in the foot. He also has ZERO loyalty to George W. Bush, his only goal is taking down Kerry (that sort of focus is imporant for his integrity).

We're not going to see another "Swift Vets"-type group for a long time. They are something special.

""I would only ask the American people: "Who do you trust more, three members of a communist regime that tortured and killed our American troops or a group of more than 280 highly decorated American veterans, who proudly served their country and are now responsible members of their respective communities?" "


I talked to the SacBee editorial guy yesterday for about 30 minutes. He trusted the 3 commies more than the vets.

Just sent Hyman a letter commending his character.

What did you expect??:)

"Who do you trust more, three members of a communist regime that tortured and killed our American troops or a group of more than 280 highly decorated American veterans, who proudly served their country and are now responsible members of their respective communities?"

One obvious point is ABC contacted NVN officials weeks in advance who, in turn, probably contacted the villagers and gave them their stories to parrot. sKerry himself said ONE (1) as in "less than 2". So why would the villagers remember the millions of fighters attacking poor ol' sKerry? (so I exaggerate a little).
