So should the Senate have a Censure motion for Ann Coulter?

I mean really....Or how about Rush Limbaugh? The two of them have spouted off more hatred for Americans than MoveOn.org ever thought about...We all know the answer though don't we.. Democrats will never do anything like that. That is a purely Republican tactic...

4. She actually put out a book saying Liberals were traitors to America
Enemies of America.....I would say that is a bit more than just questioning the Credibility of an Administration spokesperson... but then Democrats are way too busy to care about things like that..

3. This conversation should be what brings back the Fairness Doctrine
The likes of limbaugh intensely fear the fairness doctrine, in other words it must be a pretty good thing for America.

5. No cause those assholes only offend "libruls"
Remember, the important thing is that we never, ever, ever offend any of the reich-wingers. Ever.

Oy.

6. Good point
Different rules for orgs/people on the left and orgs/people on the right.
Basically, rightwingers can say what they like, while leftwingers (meaning everything from centrists to real leftwingers) are under som kind of moral censorship by media and congress. It's not freedom of speech if it doesn't apply to everybody.

7. Sure!
Edited on Fri Sep-21-07 08:45 AM by bunkerbuster1
Works for me.

But here in the good ol' US of A, only the righties get to equate their political opposites as "terrorists" and "traitors" without any official condemnation from their party leaders whatsoever. Best you'll get is Georgie Bush weakly saying "I think they all should stop!" when called out on the Shit Float Vets (remember that?)

9. It seems like all the organizations except MoveON
are scared crapless to try to say anything about those crap spewers.

I think we should have a form letter and write to each of our legislatures with that FORM letter telling them that we want Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh to shut up. AND IF MOVE ON CAN'T POST AN AD WHICH WOULD CURTAIN THEIR FREE SPEECH then we have a right to curtain coulter and limbaugh's speech.

If we all send the same form letter the congress might get the idea that this is a concerted effort and we won't take NO for an answer.

Wonder what our Canadian critic thinks of this idea - surely he'll be against it - devisiveness and all...

Seeing he's so incensed at the MoveOn ad and all his posts regarding his upset...

12. Both of my so called Democratic Senators
for for that stupid resolution! They both got a scathing e-mail from me this morning. I expect republicans to try and stifle free speech...but not Democrats!
