If it wasn't for Media Matters.org we never would have known Robertson
said this about Chavez

I believe every Democrat who is asked to comment on this story should bring this point up

BECAUSE THE MSM MEDIA ISN"T DOING IT"S JOB

And now, instead of informing the general public of broadcast regulations we are getting shows like Paula Zahn's who ask "Was Robertsonson right to bring this up?" (I'm paraphrasing here)

I don't want an argument about the validity of ASSASSINATION I want to know what people entrusted with a broadcast license are allowed to say (I bet it is pretty much everything EXCEPT that we should kill someone)

AND, I want to know what the consequences are for this despicable violation of the public airways

I would be arrested for yelling FIRE in a theater - at the very least Robertson should have his license revoked because MILLIONS heard him "yell" ASSASSINATION

9. Campaign to get Robertson Kicked Off the Air
At least that if not revoking his broadcasting license. This seems like a good campaign for the DU activist club -LTHE's, emails, etc. - at least until the Supreme Court hearings begin. It's time to get this Christian Jihadist punted off his pulpit. Any bites?

10. I disagree
Let him make a fool of himself.

I also think it's wrong to infringe on his right to free speech.

3. Exactly.
Janet Jackson's breast is not okay, but for a frickin' MINISTER to call for killing someone -- well, let's have both sides. :wtf:

7. And that 700 club filth is spread over multiple channels
It seemed as if no matter how many I programmed off of my TV, it would show up somewhere else.

11. the MSM is being paid to shill for the neocons
It's the propaganda wing of the Pentagon, period.

They all need to be put on trial in the Hague like Julius Streicher was.
