I remember flipping through TV channels one day, attempting to avoid pundits' violent rhetoric. But such language was everywhere. Anne Coulter joked about "nuking" Iran, Bill O'Reilly talked about the "war on Christmas," Pat Buchanan and Lou Dobbs spoke of the "invasion" and "conquest" of America by immigrant

      Good artcle and book extract validating the RNC as a true terrorist organization in America.

      Wasn't it Newt who came up with and distributed to his fellow repugs a list of derogatives to use whenever talking across the aisle? Newt, the college history professor who said the last time the Republicans so controlled the government (during the Repug 109th Do nothing Congress), the Great Depression resulted!

      Yes, it also gels with the Bush FCC chief trying to allow big news to buy up all the local markets too... Rupert Murdock bigotted local news too!

          ...maybe you should take a class in basic ethics and morality. Torture, preemptive war, eavesdropping without a warrant, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, 800 years of western law violated, more Americans without health insurance, more Americans in poverty, average income for americans dropped under Dumya, debt tripled, dollar devalued... yes, I'd say the Repugs are Un-American and need to be declared a terrorist organization and banned!

          It has to be so frustrating for Obama's supporters. They thought sure they could knock Hilllary out of the running tonight. Instead his failure to unify the W Virginia vote show how very weak he really is for a major Presidential candidate.

            Wonder why you want to hear violent left wing crap? Well, keep looking! Different strokes for different... I guess it's hard to find the kind of hate speech you like if it's not popular enough to attract sponsors.

              The WV vote shows that Obama's views are out of touch with mainstream America. He can fool the young, and the black racists who would vote for anyone that was black,

              but the majority of people that know what life is all about, and know what America should be are not fooled one bit by the silver tongued devil.
