Tucker just read a news flash, announcing that they will no longer simulcast Imus at all, anymore.
It is
This chick who started Moveon.org started this site up also
In my house, we scoop out the Russert from the cat's litter box.
"Despite all the rhetoric about being family-friendly, we have structured a society that is decidedly unfriendly... What's missing now is a movement. What's missing now is an organization. That's why MomsRising is so important." -- Senator Barack Obama, 9/28/06
Churchill had a term for this: The Tyranny of Opinion. We suffer under it greatly in just about every aspect of the public sphere in the west. The Tyranny of Opinion will trump the Freedom of Speech every time. No contest.
UGH. He’s quite a panderer too.
I got just one rule
Don’t call non political college kids ‘nappy headed ho’s’
You can call Cynthia McKinney a ‘nappy headed ho’
Indeed he did, a week later, only AFTER Al and JJ made headlines.
I as most of our readers stand on our own.I like Imus,where are all the supporters of Imus.Pretty sick to see them flee.
What a brave soul.
LOL!
Imus’s remarks about the Rutgers team had no traction until after Friday. Even Al Sharpton said that no one was concerned until he, Al, got revved up.
The loss of major ad revenues did not occur right away, either, but only after this was hyped.
Imus did not think it was too serious until the Rev jumped on him.
Imus’s influence is not with a huge audience but with the media members and pols who determine what we see, hear, and talk about.
The twenty or so people in Al Franken’s upper west side New York apartment who “grilled” John Kerry for two hours in December of 2003 and got him to renounce his Iraq war vote in exchange for their support in 2004, were all members of Imus’s gang. They were regulars on his show. Fineman, Alter, Meacham, people from the Nation, MSNBC, NBC, CBs.
Kerry was dead last in the polls in Dec 2003. Howard Dean was the front runner. As soon as Kerry kissed their rings and backed out of Franken’s apartment practically in tears, the assault on Dean’s “electability” began.
Imus, even knowing what a troubling oddity Kerry was, backed him all the way with the help of the Upper west Side Mafia.
That is the power that the Clintons needed to contain.
Dan Abrams who runs MSNBC supports Hillary.
PS/ As leadpenny can attest, I have never been a fan of Imus nor do I think this is a first amendment situation. I do think that a backlash against PC enforcers like Sharpton and Jackson is inevitable, and will be uglier than we can imagine.
I know that Abrams supports Hillary and it’s looking like Mo1 and I were right this afternoon when we pondered a Hillary involvement.
I had not heard about the Kerry stuff, but I am grateful to know now. It was hard to figure why he supported such a fool.
Among the organizations they work with, many of them include, the AFL-CIO, SEIU, MoveOn, Planned Parenthood, and ACORN.
Moms Rising was formed in May 2006.
The left is very busy organizing and yet we have posters here who think Hillary can’t possibly win the election.
And the backlash will come from the I-Man?
yea I remember the meeting about Kerry
O’Reilly Factor - Left-wing “reporters” met with John Kerry in Al Franken’s apartment

My husband said that tonight...and I told him he was nuts!
I do now, but never gave it due thought.
