Letter to the editor: "Hate radio Democrats control the airwaves."

[NightTrain]

The original letter:

CNN supported Kerry along with every other station on television except Fox. Hate radio Democrats control the airwaves, as well. Speak Out would look a lot different if there was a Fairness Doctrine.

And my response:

I enjoy Speak Out for the ignorant rantings of delusional conservatives, such as the writer who claimed, “Hate radio Democrats control the airwaves.” Hello??? Talk radio is dominated by right-wing Bush-lovers like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Bill O’Reilly, Michael Savage, Oliver North, G. Gordon Liddy, and Howie Carr. As for the Fairness Doctrine, we had one until the F.C.C. abolished it in 1987. Who was president then? Why, that notorious left-wing Democrat, Ronald Reagan!

1. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

They're just never happy, are they??

[GRLMGC]

2. Ahhh, that's so idiotic

Are they delusional or they just like pissing off people by saying that black is white when it's clearly black! I knew someone who would argue something that wasn't true just to piss off other people

4. Lets use their stupidity against them

Somebody put together a petition to get the fairness doctrine reinstated, and we will get democrats and republicans..like this one...to sign. It'll be a bi-partisan effort.

You seriously gotta wonder what these guys are thinking...the only place there is a liberal media is on the internet.

6. This person is so incredibly misinformed.

7. Fox News: The more you watch, the less you know!

8. i can't remember where i heard this

but right-wing repuke radio shows outnumber liberal Dem progressive radio 17 to 1

[northzax]

14. see, you're not counting right

the following radio shows are also 'deftist' and 'liberal':

the news. any news that is not a right-wing talk show.
NPR.
ESPN (since it's ownedby ABC, of course)
Financial radio (since they sometimes dare to question the ideology of the wingnuts)
The traffic report (all those liberals complaining about the sprawl from the suburbs)
The weather (science, nuff said)
Latin, Rock, AAR, anything that isn't modern, flag waving country.
Anything that Isn't Rush Limbaugh or Jerry Falweel.

See, if even the news, on for 5 minutes every hour, is liberal propoganda, then obviously the liberals outnumber the conservatives. You just aren't counting right.

9. HAHAHAHA! Some people are so fucking stupid, it really should be

legal to set them on fire on live TV for the enjoyment of educated people.

[NightTrain]

10. Rab, I like your attitude!

:yourock:

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Thanks!

I'm sick and tired of the continual dumbing down of America into a bunch of headbuttin' NASCAR watching large-belt-buckle sporting polyester wearing cheeto munching ignorant slime fuckers.

[NightTrain]

12. I'm also tired of those people around these parts who DEFEND the...

...dumbing down of America. Of course, a lot of those folks seem to be participating in it, as well. If I had a dollar for every DUer who can't spell simple, everyday words...! :grr:

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. It's really very sad.

I'm always happoy to offer tolerance for the spelling, because we all make mistakes while typing and it's just a discussion board, but there are indeed some who are consistently beyond mere typos. And many who use the wrong words, mangled unintelligable syntax, and otherwise show that they just didn't quite learn how to use the language.

I find it very sad.

[NightTrain]

16. Two words: "Spell eheck!"

DU has it. Too bad the people who need that feature the most often don't use it!

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Eh!

Spelling errors don't bother me at all, spell check or not, if they're obviously typos. The spell check does take extra time, and 99.99% of posts are going to published or something.

A missing vowell, a "g" and "n" transposed at the end of a word or obviously finger mistakes. But, it does get my back up when "there", "their", and "they're" are wrong. And when people use "big" words in the wrong way. That's not a typo, that's ingnorance.

When that happens, you and i are probably equally irritated.

21. I often misspell while typing

but there are some words like 'experience' that I always misspell no matter how many times I learn the right way to spell it.
I have no idea why, but certain ordinary words (just a few of them) are a continual problem for me and have been for years.

18. That and the abolition of the penny are my main political goals

I can't wait for your brand of 'reality TV' is on the air

[drumwolf]

13. Talk about truly Orwellian.

I wonder, do they know they are telling bald-faced lies or have they really managed to work up the mental gymnastics to genuinely convince themselves of it?

I guess if you project your own worst traits onto your opponents and repeat them over and over ad nauseam, people really do start to believe it after a while just through pure repetition.

17. Well. Done! *applause*

:thumbsup: :-)

20. Great band name: "Hate Radio Democrats"

:D

[Zuni]

23. ANYONE who thinks that 'hate radio democrats' control the airwaves

must really be living in a fantasy world.
Unless they think Limbaugh, Hannity etc. are 'Democrats' for some reason
