How would the GOP respond if George Soros owned TV stations
and ordered them to preempt network programming and instead air Faranheit 9/11? Would they find such an arrangement acceptable if Soros invited Bush to participate in a roundtable discussion following the broadcast of the documentary?

Does ANYONE doubt that the Freepers would be going ballistic if this happened? Does ANYONE doubt that Fox News would be blasting Soros and the "left-wing" media? Does ANYONE doubt that the RNC would cry "foul"?

1. Their shrill shrieking would deafen half the planet.
That's all they've got -- dirty tricks, and whining carping complaining when anyone dares to contradict them.

What a bunch of assholes. How anyone can call themselves a Republican these days, without hanging their head in shame, is beyond me.

3. Matter fact, there's kind-of an example of that already.
CBS cancelled its plans to show The Reagans after pressure was placed on them, pressure that included threats to have their broadcast license revoked. They can't say shit about the actions we're taking if they supported that, and I imagine over the next few days we'll see overflowing hypocrisy from pundits, and be able to glean example after example of contradictory quotes from them from the two incidents.
