2. They didn't mind when Gordon Liddy told his listeners to kill ATF agents.
Who cares what they think? Talk about a non-story. Liberal media my ass.

5. LOL, one of them trots out an awfully dusty cliché
Edited on Thu Apr-28-05 04:09 PM by Rob H.
What message are we sending our kids?

Meanwhile, Rush Limbaugh says "blowjob" on the air and apologizes not for using the word, but in case using it offended anyone. (Which is exactly like saying, "Hey Rush, you're a dick. I'm not sorry I called you a dick, but I'm sorry if I offended you by calling you a dick.")

7. Same old double-standard.
It's OK for their folks to fill the airwaves with hate, bigotry, and lies, but god forbid one of our people so much as does a parody and they are having fits about it.

8. Aren't parody and satire protected speech?
I was under the impression that they were. But I guess Faux fans think "WE need to get tough" (whoever "we" is :shrug: )

11. No,
she wanted to blow up the NY Times Building. Fortunately, it wasn't the Time-Life Building, or her cover story wouldn't have been published.
:evilgrin:

9. Fuck'em...
since the poll is showing that the apology is enough...they probably won't even mention it now on their broadcasts...

10. A lot of DUers must be linking from this thread, because....
now the poll indicates that 67% say "It's enough."

FAUX listeners need to get a grip on reality. :silly:

12. I love people who...
...say they respect freedom of expression, but only after we stop expressing anything that might offend them.

14. some history....
2-15-01...John Derbyshire's column in the National Review said Chelsea Clinton should be killed to make sure she doesn't go into politics
12-29-95...Rush Limbaugh told the Denver Post "Don't kill all the liberals, leave a few..."
11-1-98...Rep.James Hansen,R-Utah speaking of Pres. Clinton "Get rid of him,impeach him,censure him,assassinate him."

So now what's their beef?
