"But Sen. Obama said he is particularly concerned about the impact television is having on the ability of parents to instill positive values in their children."
Well, maybe Liberal parents have a problem with monitoring their children's TV consumption, but Conservatives never seem to have that problem.
Dang! If those Liberal TVs only came with an "Off" button or some way to unplug them or even remove them from the home...
If a Republican said this CBS,NBC and ABC would open their nightly newscast with the following:
"Extremist Republican Representative (or Senator)today called for and end to the freedom of speech and is push for government censorship. Story after this update on Paris Hilton's missing dog"
"Only Sister Souljah could go to China."
Or something like that...
Didn't Algore pull the same stunt with the music industry?
Obama is Illinois' biggest phony with the possible exception of Studs Terkel.
And he dialed 1-900-KENNEDY, 1-900-DODD, 1-900-CLINTON, and got busy signals.
Just Damn!
Gearing up to be Hillary's running mate?
This is the kind of low-risk issue that liberals can promote to make them look 'moderate.'
Add in Obama's pleasant demeanor and he will hoodwink many people. But when you examine his record, you find that on issue after issue Obama is a straight-down-the-line left-winger.
Whaaaaaaatttt????
If the industry doesn't take significant steps to make it easier for parents to control what their children view on television, Congress will step in and legislate. That was a warning shot fired by Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill."
Soooooo, since when do 'dim' followers give a sh!t what their kids watch on TV. Arent't 'dims' the ones that don't think you need parental information that your under 18 child is getting an abortion?
I also love this part:
"If the industry doesn't take significant steps to make it easier for parents to control what their children view on television Congress will step in and legislate"
If the industry doesn't do this?.....So I take it there is no parental responsibility in the 'dem' world? It's all left up to the goverment? Congress has to legislate what kids watch on tv because parents can't parent?
When I was a child, parents told you what to do, not congress.
This is strange. The Liberal MSM were praising Al and Tipper's sacred "V-Chip" and telling us it was going to "clean up" TV. I guess it didn't work out. DemocRATS are the most worthless people on the face of the Earth.
Hollywood would be outraged and enraged if it was a Republican senator who issued this warning. But since it was the darling of the Democrats...don't expect him to be lampooned by Stewart, Stern, Maher and Franken. It would be a sacrilege.
Thank you Bwana.
More big government by Barack Osama and the democrats
It's already easy for parent's to control the content of TV...turn it off.
Ok, he hates sex and violence.
I guess he's a pacifist virgin?
Is he aware that our entire economy is based on materialism?
Sorry for his supporters, but this guy is an extremist nut!
Kill Your Television!
Change the channel....better yet...push the power button.
Why don't you liberals focus on what you are doing to our kids in public schools. They learn more about how to have sex in school than on TV, where we can control what they see.
