1. There are laws against hate speech

and against fomenting hatred. I would say that hate speech has gone far enough that we now need enforcement of these laws.

2. typical capitalist

Anyway..the rightwing can have as many stations..tv shows etc as the country wants. But the hate speech has to go.
Dissent..saying you don't agree..give reasons why..great. Saying this country will run red with blood. Way over the top. I would suggest the rightwing wouldn't survive as well if they held a civil discussion like Thom Hartmann everyday. They know that their listeners tune in to hear them denigrate democrats. I would actually like a poll taken of the average IQ that listen to rightwing destruction everyday. I honestly don't believe a rational thinking
involved person could stand it over a month.

3. Yes

That guy's a typical name-calling, belligerent, misinformed, socialism/communism-card-pulling, fear-mongering, monopoly-denying, hateful conservative.

4. Well Mr. Hartmann, I do believe the machine finds you a bit thorny.

I'm lovin' it!

The free market faithful there has a youtube thing about predictions for the newly 'elected' congress. I will not link out of respect, but the real highlight is about how this new congress can be counted on to be more market friendly. Yup, this along with the advice that we don't need to understand how the market works, just respect the experts. I took such a deep gasp, I nearly choked.

Keep after 'em and thanx.
