sean hannity whines about "talk radio running America" then a gop senator calls in

[BOSSHOG]

sean was whining as usual today about how people are saying that talk radio runs things (trent lott was the originator). And of course sean was whining about other things. Then Senator Voinovich (R) of Ohio calls up and says because of talk shows like sean'S and others he is being threatened by his constituents about the amnesty bill. But we all know talk radio has no effect on anyone about anything. Especially independently thinking conservatives. Way too rich.

sean also provided the lemmings with a talking that we will no doubt be hearing soon: THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE WILL DESTROY THE FIRST AMENDMENT.

boy that amnesty thing is really tearing them apart

i love it

[Donnachaidh]

1. oh fer christ's sake --

the fairness doctrine will destroy the first amendment? Does he share a crack pipe with Billo?

[BOSSHOG]

3. I wonder what sean fears the most

- The Fairness Doctrine, or
- Swearing to tell the truth

[Donnachaidh]

4. fairness doctrine -- less FACE TIME for him

and they'd actually have to either get a real lib as his sidekick, or give Colmes some testosterone treatments.

[BOSSHOG]

5. You're right, swearing to tell the truth is so 1990's to conservatives

[Donnachaidh]

6. well - they DON'T tell the truth eve if sworn -- Gonzo is perfect example

Of that sudden onset of the purely republican OCD *I don't recall* syndrome. :evilgrin:

[orleans]

2. the absence of the fairness doctrine is destroying the first amendment. n/t

[BOSSHOG]

7. I think there may some truth to the notion

passed by right wing knuckleheads on the radio that they are just comedians (always brought up when the heat is turned on them for something they said that wasn't funny.)

hannity told the ignorant trash audience that evil liberals wanted to bring back the fairness doctrine to SILENCE THEM. Ya really got to know your audience to get away with that nonsense.
