9. Something's fishy...
I just voted and the total vote number was exactly the same as what you posted. It's not changing.

13. I think they update the totals every 20 minutes or so ....
been watching the poll on this computer, while working on another computer through the day. I wonder when Fox will pull the poll. This fair and balanced poll (NO 'WE' NEED TO GET TOUGH):sarcasm: doesn't seem to be giving them (the WE) any ammunition. :bounce: Peace.

5. Thanks to Eric J at the bottom.
He articulated my views.

Hypocrites!

Randi was classy to apologize for a bit she didn't even make.

6. Here's my email comment to Faux
I think the apology was fine.

I'm still waiting for Delay and Cornryn's apologies for inciting violence against judges and Coulter's statement that seeing Grey Davis and Al Gore together was the most compelling argument for friendly-fire ever made.

It seems to me that conservatives have a bit of a thin skin and dual standards about things like this.

8. You forgot to mention Coulters previous comment that
the only trouble was deciding whether to impeach or assassinate Clinton.

10. 99% of people had never heard of AAR - thank the Republicans for all the
free publicity.

It would have cost millions of dollars to buy this much coverage

The outrage of the right will blow away, but AAR will now be know and listened to by many that had not heard of it before.

In the end, all will be for our good.

12. To bad they don't hold their own pundits like Coulter to the same
high standards. She once wanted to assassinate Bill Clinton. Where is the outrage for her hateful remarks. Fuck Faux and the rest of them that actually think the product they air is news!!!:grr:

pulled the poll and are now posting examples of the e-mail responses they have received. The samples seem to reflect a 90% against response. Very interesting. How low indeed.

18. what a bunch of thin-skinned babies!
Edited on Thu Apr-28-05 11:33 PM by flaminbats
they laughed as their neocon talk-radio sh_ts defended the bombing of abortion clinics, about killing President Clinton, and how the murder of the Kennedys and MLK was great for the country. But if a liberal steps over the line, time for censorship! If someone kills another person, let them suffer for the crime. When someone is arrested for talking about it..how many freepers would now be in prison?

Perhaps we should make vocal attacks of the courts, burning representations of incumbents, and criticism of the Federal Government all acts of treason. Send them to the guillotine..isn't this why we have a constitution, the tyranny of the majority?

As Madison wrote..if men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to contol itself.
