Anyone else sick of Gwen Ifill dominating Meet the Press? She won’t let the others get a word in edgewise.
I just wanted to give you my take on the past week, as I have been soliciting comments from my friends and neighbors with respect to the whole Imus controversy.
It would seem from where I live, that there is a growing risk of a backlash, which could benefit the nation as a whole. People I talk to are really sick of being dictated to by a couple of race-huslers, and when you combine the previous week with what is going on/not going on in Congress, people are getting a preview of what life will be like under Democrat rule, and not liking it at all.
My own thought is that Imus is just the Dixie Chicks in reverse, and that we appear hypocritical in trying to protect him. Let the Dems kill him off, he was their spokesperson, not ours. Good riddance.
Rush and Hannity are in no danger, for the simple reason that they both make huge sums of money for their advertisers, and that is simply more important than any percieved hate-speak by the professional victim class.
As for Rush, he is the owner of the EIB network, and could only fire himself. There is no place for Media Matters or the others to go to complain about Limbaugh, so nothing to fear there.
People I speak with are angry, and ready to express their rage at the ballot box, which is the only thing that counts. I think all and all, it was a bad week for Democrats, because they and their media friends reminded the country of what Democrats, liberals and the victim-class really stand for. I don't think we should fight them, and as Rush always says, we should just let Liberals be liberals, and that is enough to keep them out of power.
On another note, I still say Fred Thompson is not going to run for President, that Dems will fizzle out on Iraq and Bush will win after the veto, and the latest Karl Rove flap will go nowhere.
I think we should all just sit back and relax, and let the Democrats hang themselves.
