61. No, no, it's only the free market at work when liberal commentators get fired
Or when stations like Air America get taken off the air. When wingnuts get axed, it's because the sinister forces of the United Nations, and the blacks, and the Muslims, and George Soros, and Al Gore, and ACORN, and Planned Parenthood, and the manufacturers of energy-efficient light bulbs and electric cars, and anyone else I may have forgotten, have all conspired to stifle the voice of Real America (© The GOP - Party of Personal Responsibility).
