When will Fox News (cough, cough) and idiots like limbaugh cross a line |
|
that will force Congress to do something about their lies, distortions, and contributions to growing hatred and violence?
when?

1. They have crossed the line many times. |
|
They just keep moving further and further from the truth.

2. Congress will never put itself in the position of being seen as stepping on |
|
free speech. We are the only ones that can put a stop to this by repeatedly calling these people out and shaming them and prosecuting them when they commit crimes.

3. Yeah that's pretty much it. |
|
The only line to cross is a direct incitement to violence - and that's not "I'm worried there will be violence if Obama doesn't listen to the American people." It's "Get your rifles and take to the streets."
We can't wait for congress.

4. I hope congress doesn't do that |
|
I'd rather see someone go after them for slander or libel and win. Hard to do because a lot of it is billed as "satire".

It could be pointed out that they were sued not for their political views but for lying and were proven liars in a court of law. If congress goes after them the shrieks of "partisan witch hunt" would be all you'd ever hear.

8. LINE.......They don't need no stinkin' LINE |
|
They do not even acknowledge a line exists..That is of course unless a Democrats says something they don't agree with. Then Holy Hell will happen because of what the Democrat said. Just like they are doing to Carter right now. Limbaugh calling an ex President the hemeroid of America..Who the fuck is Limbaugh to call anyone anything?

11. The Media appears to accept them and Teabaggers as the ideal |
|
of our society. They set the rules and standards for the rest of us.

14. Sad but true. The media appears to laud them as the super patriots. |
|
We have hit a new low, unfortunately - and it's disturbing that the media gives these proto Timothy McVeighs legitimacy.

13. Well they've already crossed the line of decency many, many times, |
|
but congress and the MSM cater to the extreme 10% of the right wing every time. Read the TIME article on Glenn Beck. It's disgusting how TIME is indulging these folks too.
