Now that I've been watching Arrested Development - all I can think about is White Power Bill...

A good bout of anger is a good thing once in a while, I just don't want to live that way all of the time. Unfortunately, we have potentially another 3 years of anger-inducing material to draw on....if not more.

Not a talk radio personality....but I can give you a quote from Julianne Malveaux on a PBS show, speaking of Clarence Thomas -

"You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease. Well, that's how I fell. He is an absolutely reprehensible person."

And another -

PBS's Nina Totenberg: "If there is retributive justice Sen. Jesse Helms will get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it."

As a follow up, I suppose we can come to an agreement that wishing harm or death upon someone is hate speech.

I'd pretty much agree that that is a good definition.

I don't think hate speech is owned solely by the right wing factions. I'm sure the left does it too, they ust don't seem to get as much press for it ....ie: it isn't as effective.

I would disagree (big surprise) because I think that is one of the reasons that the left keeps losing elections.

I think that the main reason that the Democrats have been losing is because they are spineless. Not "spineless" in the weak on terror, national security, sort of way but rather, they don't seem to be willing to stand up to the Republicans and call them on their BS. I mean, really. The Pubs ran on a platform of "keeping America safe", and yet have done absolutely zilch to protect our borders or prepare for any sort of catastrophe. So, have the democrats called them on this? Nope, not really.

Quite honestly, I think the only Democrat there is that I have any respect for right now is (and I'm sure scaeagles will get a laugh out of this) Russ Feingold. Not just because of the censure thing either, although I agree with it wholeheartedly, but because I think he has integrity. I don't agree with everything he says but that is not as important to me as someone who actually stands for something.

Basically, I'd like to see roughly 99% of them voted out.

I'd like to see roughly 99% of them indicted and thrown in prison for some Brokeback Lockdown.
