If Rush had lied this outrageously, they'd be breaking into Monday Night Football to announce it.
I agree with you in theory about the people having freedom and the right to voice opinion, I am just saying that there is no right to tell lies, whether it is slander or other vicious lies that attempt to discredit anyone or any organization or distance one from statements, if those statements were truly made.
Free speech has always had limits.
Started laughing when I read your comment - then felt a rush of pain as I realized you might be right...
It's time to de-fund NPR.
Bull. It's all about one thing and one thing only:
FOX NEWS
They HATE it. They HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE "FAUX" NEWS!
I have never seen so MUCH displaced anger against one television network as I have seen from Leftists regarding Fox News. It is pathological. That's right; insane.
I'm trying to figure out why. Fox has so many liberals on it: Geraldo Riveria, Greta Van Sustern, Shep Smith, Bob Betchel, Alan Colmes, Juan Williams, Mara Liasson, Kristen Powers... The number of liberals is as long as the number of conservatives!!!!
Is their outrage based on Fox calling itself "Fair and Balanced", as it illustrates how ALL THE OTHERS are NOT?
(Rhetorical question that has "Yes!" as the obvious answer.)
But seriously folks, they HATE Fox News and they HATE Fox News Viewers. They want the dumb hicks watching Fox to die. Since they don't have the power to do that, they took it out on Juan.
True...any backing from Government ends up making that speech propaganda.
Good point.
