So then the quotes fro m the Wausau mayor just sounded like strong-arm tactics and Rep. sympathizing rather than statement of fact, fairness, ethics, or legal obligation. He made sure thee Labor Guys in Wausau were STILL portrayed as victims in that issue, when at that time it had already become clear that they had clearly over-stepped ethical and legal boundaries and WERE IN THE WRONG!!!! Ed persisted in inciting the "troops"! Horrible! Now the "holiday" has been co-opted by the parties, and yet another aspect of life involves the Fight-Your-Neighbor philosophy of the Partisan Devils. I am continually amazed at the opportunism, contempt for all of American Life and the spiraling degradation the parties and their members seem to adore.<br /><br />I have been disgusted Limbaugh for years. We have lost friendships due to his indoctrination and urging his followers to "hate Libs". Yes, specifically because of Limbaugh. But I have no option other than hating these other guys too - Their job Functions are NOT to encourage debate, disseminate information Or present reality.<br />Their job is simply TO KEEP THE FIGHTS GOING<br /><br />It's all poison. All of it. And my comment of last night (mean-spirited as it was I did not expect it to pass thru) was to instigate reflection oh how deep-seated it is to excuse anything on "your own" side while rushing to smash the other for the same thing. The parties and their minions are locked in inseparable combat, obsessed with each other, doing nothing but destruction, none of it "creative" and we are running out of time.<br /><br />Limbaugh sucks, sure. But don't they all...Ed is no better. He inflames, and incites, that is all. We are screwed (I mean the Public, not Party people, it works for you-all, obviously).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-21422814382265773702011-08-31T14:59:22.304-05:002011-08-31T14:59:22.304-05:00The one guy who's hate speech is legal and pop...The one guy who's hate speech is legal and popular with the sheeple.<br /><br />The only way to get that guy off the air is a letter writing campaign to his corporate sponsors and advertisers.
