Growing number of CBS affiliates refusing to carry profanity laden program

American Family Association/Action Alert/Email | Donald E. Wildmon

I'll bet you a buck this comes up in many, many campaigns. The dems will take it and run with it.

"How many times have you seen this documentary, since you "know" it contains a "tremendous amount of hardcore profanity"? When did you see it? (I think we already know the answer, don't we?)

Apparently YOU DIDN'T see it, because it is ladened from front to back with "hardcore" profanity. So now we know that you make comments without even knowing anything about what you're arguing about. How typical of liberals and libertarians.

Did Bill Clinton teach you how to avoid answering questions, or did you teach him?

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

Notice that those who are so adamantly against censorship of profanity are themselves censoring THEMSELVES by not typing THEIR profanity in it's entirety. I say, PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH, HYPOCRITES!

Perhaps if we were in a burning building, we'd be less careful with our language.

[BunnySlippers]

It's funny as over at DU they are on an email blitz to the station to keep them from broadcasting since this HELPS Bush & the Repubs.

I can't believe that any Republican or Conservative would fight it!

"Shouldn't you be writing letters now instead of goofing around on a internet forum. Hop to it, bucko."

YOU apparently don't know what it takes to be an activist on the internet. It only took going to the link and entering your name and address and press send and you're done. Of course, for someone like you it probably would take the entire day to accomplish this....Hmmm?

Ahh yes and here comes the meltdown.

We're all DUmmies and HE is the ONLY true Conservative.

*rolls eyes*

[Constitution Day]

This program is most assuredly NOT proper for children under the age of about 14 or 15, IMO.

DEFINITELY not.

Protests filed in such a manner are largely ignored or discounted.

I just drafted a letter to CBS:

Dear CBS,

I am a CONCERNED CITIZEN. I was sitting at home spying on the neighbors when the ALL-MIGHTY DONALD WILDMON spake to me. He warned me that you were planning on airing HARDCORE PROFANITY in the near future. I didn't hear what kind of program you were airing it in, some action movie I think.

I am telling you that this is the last straw. I am SICK and TIRED of you trying to TURN OUR CHILDREN into POTTY MOUTHS. I can ONLY IMAGINE the next time some planes explode overhead what type of GUTTER LANGUAGE will come out of their innocent minds.

You should be ASHAMED of yourselves, and I can tell you that I and all of friends (both real AND imaginary) will never, EVER, NEVER, EVER, NERVER, EVER, NIVEREVER, EVER, NEVER, EVEREVER, REVENEVER, NEEEEVER turn our televisions to your FILTHY station again.

With the exception of Oprah.

UNkindest regards,

some jerk

"Actually you pompus jackass...we follow the rules of this privately owned forum and refrain from bad language, lest we get sent to the corner by the Mods.

Get over yourself.

But....why are you caving into these censorship minded websites? Why don't you have the cajones to standup for your rights and tell FR that you will not be intimidated by THEIR censorship rules. Even CBS is willing to pay the fine to air this program. Why not you? YELLOW?

You need to work on your insults. Better yet, don't insult someone personally. Insult their arguments. You are rude and a boor. Enough of you, good sir (or madam).

[linda_22003]

You've answered my question; you have not seen it. I saw it when it was originally broadcast in March, 2002.

[linda_22003]

Oh, he answered it. He's never seen ten seconds of it; it's obvious. :)

[dmz]

There you go. Now you are comparing the actual events and the its attendant language to porno.

Seek help. Do it now.

[hellinahandcart]

I saw it the first time around. The rating shown was clearly not for children, then viewers were warned about profanity before it started, then Robert DeNiro warned about the language *after* it started.

How much of a clue do people need that there are BAD WORDS a-comin'? Honestly. The world does not revolve around children. Send the little buggers off to another room for two hours. Or watch something else.

Sir I go to work every day and stand up for the rights of the citizens of this country.

Included in that is protecting the rights of free speech. Even speech that I disagree with or am offended by.

I even stand up and protect your right to say stupid stuff on the internet.

Yellow? Me? Not hardly.

[Iam1ru1-2]

"Did Bill Clinton teach you how to avoid answering questions, or did you teach him?"

Did YOU watch the program? HUH? Do you know what profanity was is in the program, Huh? I didn't think so. So you're advocating a program you didn't even see or know anything about. How typical of liberals and libertarians.

[dmz]

There is NO SANE PERSON ON THE PLANET who would watch that documentary and when it was over express indignation at the language used by the people who were there watching those events unfold in front of their very eyes.

"How typical of liberals and libertarians"


Again with the patently false ad hominem attacks.


Project much?

[linda_22003]

It's obvious you haven't seen it.

You know, whatever medication you're taking, the dosage needs to be increased by at least 25mg. Maybe 50.
