Gratuitous electioneering
Saturday October 21, 2006 - 8:37 pm 13 Seconds--The Kent State Shootings Channel 36 On May 4, 1970, at Kent State University in Kent, OH, 67 shots were fired in 13 seconds. These horrifying seconds in American history resulted in the deaths of four students and the wounding of nine others. This program documents a day that some choose to forget. Others, however, fight to keep the bitter lessons alive for new generations. This compelling Emmy-winning documentary relives the disaster, day by day, hour by hour, through archival footage and interviews with those who experienced it first hand.

I was on the radio today, and they had such a moonbat on public broadcasting. I was wondering if she even lived in the same country.
She was going on and on about how we were an oppressive totalitarian country, and how people didn't realize we had already been taken over by the military industrial complex.
It's hard to believe people are that crazy. She probably really needs to live in a country like that for a while so she can tell the difference.

It was a bad judgment call by the ARNG CO. Although at the time there were some who said the guardsmen should have been taken out to the ranges and taught how to shoot straight. (Not I.)

Anyone who is going to watch PBS or a documentary on Kent State is going to be a Democrat already.

The Ohio population was well-surveyed after the incident, and there was very good support for the Guardsmen. Their actions were understandable, and perhaps even warranted.

I don't totally disagree, however the event happened in May 1970 should it not have been shown in May 2005 on the 35th anniversary ?

It's obvious why it's being shown now.

Will the PBS affiliate do a segment on Waco?
That right there makes Kent State look like a picnic.

I remember those days, and when I get worried about the shadow party etc, I realize how much worse it got then. Cindy sheehan draws 12 people but the antiwar marches of the 60's were massive.

Their actions were understandable, and perhaps even warranted. They were both of those things and more.
There's an important lesson to be learned from the shootings at Kent State.
Don't throw rocks, firebombs, and bags of human feces at armed men.

My PBS stations are showing The Manchurian Candidate and The Quiet Man. You need a new PBS affiliate, the 2 I get show classic movies and Monty Python on Saturdays.

PBS & NPR have a laughable election cycle that they go through every other October.
On NPR, I know its October 1st when they start running the human interest stories involving slavery, Jim Crow laws, and personal accounts of racism (the worse the better). They then not so subtly follow this up with "news" stories about how Republicans want to send blacks back to the "old days". Finally they move out of news and back into public interest stories about the "need to vote". This formula is run every day until election day, and then magically goes back in the file. I've seen this for at least ten cycles.
I wonder if they'd be surprised to learn just how few of their target audience is tuning in.

Given the choice between being taken over by moonbats or the military industrial complex -- I'll take the MIC ;-)
