Perhaps you should do an OP on examples of hate on any Beck or Rush shows. Perhaps you could include any false statement propagated in either show relative to Islam, Muslims or the Obama Administration, etc.
I suppose the entire Obama is a Kenyan, Muslim, Communist, Antichrist, trope is truth as opposed to simple-minded propaganda of the worst sort (see Wiemar Republic).
Perhaps if you watched and listened regularly as I do, your understanding and knowledge of the danger we are all in due to ignorance of folks like you regarding what these entities are aspiring to achieve in the nation and the world at large will be increased.
Have you ever considered something other than your puny godlets as a source of information? Like history, philosophy, economics, science, and so on. No instead of Jesus, Socrates, Buddha, and Confucius (apologies to Russell for name dropping), instead we get Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly, and Palin.
Did you watch Beck, this week on the night that he had a room full of immigrants from the old Soviet Union and Ukraine? They spoke of what it was like to loose one's freedom and thrown in the gulag for such crimes as reading Alexander Solzhenitsyn?
Were you there when I was in the US Army in intelligence doing my small part to defeat the old USSR, or were you hiding out with your heroes, child Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Limbaugh, and the other military service dodgers?
Perhaps before you speak of freedom, you should look at what your masters of all information, the Australians Murdoch and Ham, are doing to relegate all non-rich humans to the days of slavery and serfdom.
If anything, may the people who crave freedom and democracy; of Egypt, Bahrain, Jordan, Yemen, and Libya, provide an example of what the oppressed can do be they the Americans of 1776, the French of 1789, the Eastern Europeans of 1989, or indeed the poor and middle class Americans of 2011.
In closing may I paraphrase a great sage, Buz, had you not been born, then Fox News would have to invent you.
The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
Salman Rushdie
This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
