n. pl. bills of attainder A legislative act pronouncing a person guilty of a crime, usually treason, without trial and subjecting that person to capital punishment and attainder. Such acts are prohibited by the U.S. Constitution.And I'm not even going to get into contrasting the definition of punishment and repudiation (it certainly aint semantics).
The letter is not a bill, nor an Act of Congress, and neither is it an expressed sense of the Senate. Even if there were 50 names on that letter (and there are only 41), its not even close to expressing a sense of the Senate. And its not even a non-binding resolution.
Raising your voice to the contrary doesn't make what you're yelling about so (and bolding your insistance is no different than capitalizations, which in cyberspeak are both connotations of yelling. Its a letter written by a bunch of Senate Democrats excercising their Constitutional First Ammendment right attempting to quash another voice from expressing its Constitutional First Ammendment right.
Are they a bunch of contemptible slugs? You bet (no dispute or contention on my part concerning that).
He should have responded that “Clear Channel does not get involved in Democrat Party political SMEAR campaigns”.
there, fixed it.
Naw, it’s not going to take a bunch of hard work. It is just kindergarten stuff they are doing. Rush is blowing them off. This CEO told them to pound sand. They are just so infatuated with themselves, they cannot see their own idiocy.
Well, Rush never referred to Murtha as a phony Soldier. He’d have to be called a phony Marine. But, hey, if Reid can stand up for Murtha, it says a lot about the company he keeps.
I would like to respond to this and say that Jack Murtha is in trouble as a Marine. He has sold his soul to satan’s party and may well have to answer. (I hope so).
WOOHOO! Now this is one I can get behind and support! Thanks, weegee.
I'm fully aware of what is really going on here, but if they are that easily whipped up, can you imagine the damage that some of the (other) enemies of our country could do by planting false statements and then goading them into action?
Thanks for the ping!
I sent Nelson this letter with a BCC to Martinez...
Is your staff falling down on the job? How could they have advised you to sign that disgusting letter condemning Mr. Limbaugh? It wasn’t difficult for me to find the actual transcript of what was said on the radio about phoney soldiers. It is very plain that our fine military was NOT BEING MALIGNED.
Now, you have made yourself look foolish. It is better to remain quiet than to let the world know that you are ignorant of the facts. It is no wonder that Congress has an 11% approval rating.
It is equally tragic to have two foolish senators!!! We will be doing all we can to see that you both are unemployed when election time comes around.
not to knock your friend, I have relatives who are totally uninformed also, doesn’t it just drive you crazy how they can be so unaware? They just hear snippets of the network news to form important decisions, important to some of us anyway.
“However, as a broadcaster and leader of this company, I will always defend the right of our employees and contracted talent to voice their opinions under the protections provided by the First Amendment.” When he says “defend”, he means it in the legal sense, as in ‘put your money where your mouth is’, in other words, pound sand.
Go get 'em, Rush!
Dead serious , I’ll go . I hat those traitors. This country is in serious trouble and we need to be heard before Klinton takes over and we all shut down. Talk Radio is only the start . I’m sure klinton will be gunning for FR too . All opposition must be silenced.
I left e-mails at Harkins,Reid and my own Senators sites with some insightful stuff (IMHO) and hope they listen. All Americans should do the same.

The democrats are indeed sickening.
Rush responded with a plural ‘soldiers’ as the caller used the word in the plural also...what’s so difficult for these media idiots to get?? It should be explained as I said, plainly and simply for the idiots who don’t get it.
It might be time for us to take the shot and leave the family and business once and awhile to get out there and try to save the country in person before it’s too late.
