""George W. Bush, Tom DeLay, Bill Frist, Trent Lott, [John] Ashcroft - they are the schoolyard bullies, and what do we do with schoolyard bullies? We stand up to them, and we stand up to them and fight," Neas said."

It's evident this jerk never saw "High Noon".

Dream on Ralphy!

[Centaur]

Hey Faux! Put some ice in it. It'll go down better. (hic)

[Leisler]

Don't forget our SUVs.

"I turn on the radio, and I hear these talk shows with right wing drunks calling in, and I ask myself, where are our drunks?" Faux said. But, he added: "The advantage of being a progressive is that you don't have to get drunk to make your speech."

1) Turn the station if you don't like it!

2) All "progressives" are drunk, taking prescription or illegal drugs, and sound like they are blasted when they talk.

3) Your "drunks" are on TV everyday. Trust me, they honestly sound drunk.

Yes, please, come out of the closet and openly go left so more people can see what you truely are.

"Faux" is French for "phony".

It's also 'Dimwit-o-crat' for disaster.

The difference between this group and the "drunks" they criticize is that the "drunks" have an audience. These folks have no audience outside their own special interest so they can only get together, stand in circle holding hands, and sing "Coom Ba Ya."

One of the giveaways to vicious insincerity is when a speaker starts distorting facts that everyone is familiar with.

At this time, there are innumerable TV stations and newspapers with a leftist slant. There's one TV network -- Fox -- with a rightist slant. There are a bare handful of newspapers that are right-inclined. Yet, according to the invaluable Kim Gandy -- fellow FReepers, if she hadn't sprung out of the ground, we'd have had to invent her -- the Right controls the media.

And of course, Dubya and Tom DeLay and so on are "bullies." How? Why? What have they done? Silence reigns.

For quite a while, I've been championing the cause of courtesy in political discourse. Events like these make it obvious that that's going to be hard to achieve, no matter how willing conservatives might be to try it.

It's evident this jerk never saw "High Noon".

you're old.

forget about the fact that audiences stood and cheered gary cooper at the end of high noon when it showed.

today, he would be immediately arrested, arraigned, etc. with lots of background of his belonging to white supremicist groups (or whatever).

this is not the fifties, pal. this is not your father's america anymore.

ugh.

"...with one speaker describing the followers of conservative-dominated radio programs as "drunks."

Hey! I resent that remark!"

I resent that remark also. And since it's before noon, I'm going to go have a bloody mary to bring my bp down. Sheesh, what an insult.

"I turn on the radio, and I hear these talk shows with right wing drunks calling in, and I ask myself, where are our drunks?" Faux said.

"You know when it's springtime in Massachusetts when the Kennedy's are driving on the sidewalks"

[DakotaGator]

...where are our drunks?"

Well, at least one of them is a Senator from Massachusetts.

[battlegearboat]

"They get their perspective on the world from The O'Reilly Factor and from Stupid-borough Country, uh...Scarborough Country," she added, a reference to MSNBC's Scarborough Country, hosted by former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough.

She's a big poo poo head.

[Beck_isright]

"Well, at least one of them is a Senator from Massachusetts."

And his co-drunk, Dodd from CT.....

[leprechaun9]

"Faux said, ...and I ask myself, where are our drunks?"

Answer: up in the elitist stratosphere, alone, whining, crying and making ZERO contributions to the quality of anyone's lfe, including their own!

[tdadams]

This is why I'm a firm proponent of the First Amendment - give a man enough rope...

This kind of liberal ranting reminds me of one of my favorite recent quotes by Eric Alterman, media critic for The Nation, and author of the book "What Liberal Media?":

"No matter how much you flip through the channels, you'll be hard pressed to find one liberal commentator on broadcast TV."

[Mr.Atos]

The advantage of being a progressive is that you don't have to get drunk to make your speech.

No, you must, by nature, be philosophically inebriated and ideologically incoherent to be a progressive, leftist, collectivist, hater of man.

The adolescent jackasses are so angry that the 'jig's up' that they do not know what else to do, but throw tantrums. Not only are they being exposed for the vacuous nature of their non-concepts and irrational approach to everything, they are also being forced to the realization that they, the so-called 'intellectual elite' are being trounced and humiliated by the right... people whom they consider to be metaphysical insects. Let them continue to think I am drunk. I love it when the left under estimates. Every time they do it, we should hit them that much harder. And now that they are obviously on the ropes, keep slugging. We will not win this fight on points. The left must suffer TKO in the next round.

pound, pound, POUND!!!

[Trueblackman]

Well as I said in my thread...If we are all drunks that means we have more than enough time on our hands to run for Public Offices. Political Active Freepers should run for every office in every state to put a drain on the left's resources.

HomeSchoolers should run for local schoolboard offices to blunt the assualt by the big teachers unions.

Retired Freepers should run for city and county offices to blunt the leftist at the local level and some of us should run for federal office as well.

The left is attempting to go back to it play book of the 1970's of winning hearts and minds at a local level then running for federal offices a few years later and we have to beat them at their own game.

"Jeff Faux, distinguished fellow at the liberal Economic Policy Institute..."

This fellow's last name is telling....

[Imagine]

THe problem with their strategy (to create liberal talk shows) is that all their audience is too busy watching Ricky Lake and Jerry Springer to turn on the radio.

"...one speaker describing the followers of conservative-dominated radio programs as "drunks."

That's right! We're all a bunch of stupid, patriot-types that prefer the truth to the latest Liberal spin!! /sarcasm
