cuckoldmepls -> Senator Rockefeller Wants Free Speech Eliminated (11/20/2010 8:03:17 PM)

I heard and saw him say this on the news. I couldn't believe what i was hearing. I mean we all know the leftists want to throw out the Constitution, but for them to be so bold to declare it in front of the cameras is absolutely incredulous.

He actually wants MSNBC, and Fox news of course, shut down. Not only does he not think the news has the right to investigate and monitor our government, he actually thinks that citizens don't have the right to say whatever they want either.

Of course, he is a democrat, no surprise there. His wife also works for a subsidiary of NPR. No surprise there either. They actually fired their most liberal commentator Juan Williams for accidentally telling the truth.

You are such a nutcase.

Not to worry. We have a constitution that prevents such things--except of course when Bush found it inconvenient.

Not that he's the first or last president to do so.

Omigod!

How horrible!

When you figure out how to post links let me know and I'll have further comment.

You're having me on, right?  Anyone who's listened to NPR for a long time would know he wasn't the most liberal guy there.

That's a real hoot.  Where or who said that?



TheHeretic -> RE: Senator Rockefeller Wants Free Speech Eliminated (11/20/2010 11:49:25 PM)

It wasn't so much that he was literally calling for it to be done, as openly admitting he would like to. If only it wasn't for that pesky 1st Amendment...

Just think...soon Rockefeller could be a repub. Just not good enough yet.

Even if he intimated such a thing, he put it wrong. He should point out the lies and demagoguery and inform the constituency...being that our freedom of the press allows such speech.

BTW, Juan Williams is just another so-called lefty hired by Fox to have this great new realization of the rightwing lies at Fox and be 'converted' while in any given discussion. This has been a practice of Fox 'news' for years but with 'lefties' or 'liberals' that nobody knows. The problem arose only...only because Williams is a known lefty formally of the Wash. Post and NPR or at the very least a left-leaning moderate.

Not to worry though Williams now gets $2 million a year at Fox to be their newly 'wisened' liberal and will say just what Fox news wants him to say. Another long term practice at Fox...look it up.

Now whether or not he was wise to actually speak his thoughts is another matter. . . however it sounded more to me like he was sharing some wishful thinking.  Ya know, like the kind you do on a sleepless night and think about arranging for someone's comeuppance.  Pretty harmless.

I do find it somewhat ironic that so many are upset at what he has said.  Considering the topic is free speech and the forth estate. 



TheHeretic -> RE: Senator Rockefeller Wants Free Speech Eliminated (11/21/2010 8:45:30 AM)

You know, Aylee, one of the wonderful things about free speech is that it makes it so much easier to spot the idiots, or in this case, the wanna-be totalitarians.

You just said it, he wasn't literally calling for it to be done.

But I can agree with his sentiments, getting rid of both FOX and MSNBC would be a step in the right direction.

These types of partisan organizations that pretend to be news channels are poisoning this country.

Yeah, but we already know what a petty, power mad, little dictator you would like to be.

Gee Richie, I'm intrigued.

Would you be saying this if a Republican had said the same thing?

Never mind, you don't have to answer, it was a stupid question. 

We all know the answer.

Yes Richie, that's true.

In fact, I am thinking of developing a twelve-step program to save conservatives from themselves.

Yeah, RML. I think anybody who pays any attention at all already knows where I come down on free speech issues.

You could probably use the search function.

What you seem to be missing here is that I agree with you, but I also understand his feelings.

We have gone from having news channels to opinion channels.



TheHeretic -> RE: Senator Rockefeller Wants Free Speech Eliminated (11/21/2010 9:26:44 AM)

I can understand a desire for a more civilized discussion, and a less polarized society. I can relate to expressing some crazy route to achieve a goal.

I don't like that the crazy idea here involves the gov't shutting down speech they don't like.



cuckoldmepls -> RE: Senator Rockefeller Wants Free Speech Eliminated (11/27/2010 1:52:50 PM)

Finally found the youtube video. This is incredible that a Senator would advocate censorship from legitimate news sources. Obviously, this is in retaliation for calls from republicans to eliminate NPR public funding since they are nothing but a liberal mouthpiece. The difference here is that we don't use taxdollars to support MSNBC or FOX News. If you can't see the difference in that, you are the nutcase.
