There is such thing as freedom of speech in the US. It is the first ammendment to the US constitution. However, when it is used as a smear campaign against people of the opposing party, it is not an innocent and un-punishable act. Jail time? No. But being subject to their own type of humiliation would work quite nicely. Meaning I don't think it should be against the law but I also think people should have consequences for their ill-mannered tactics.
I listen to AM 560 in Chicago mostly because the Liberal station I found was even more immature, sound effects and needless laughing. I want to hear about the world of politics and not some people giggling like children. I drop off my son at daycare to escape that.
So, when i listen to AM 560 in Chicago, I am treated to a lot of seriousness. They are mad and incensed about ObamaCare as they like to call it. Why are they mad? Well they can only quote from their puppeteers, the Republican Politicians who say something negative enough for them to use. But here is my problem with that, when did we stop telling our political leaders what we want, and when did we shut up and listen to what they want? Here's an idea that is real noble, get and form an opinion for yourself. And here's another noble thought, don't insult people who disagree with you.
In a workd with free speech, that does not mean you cannot get upset, it also does not mean you can forget your manners. Did your parents teach you to insult people and call them names? Would you call Obama a Fascist Dictator to his face if you were given the opportunity? If you did do you think you would ever have a meaningful dialogue with him again?
It would be one thing if these hosts came forth and said "we have found in subsection G, page 2376 that the intent of the Health Care reform is to move the country to universal Healthcare", but they go to some senator who says "it's (The Healthcare reform act) a ploy to move the country to Universal Healthcare". Ok, Where did he get that? Just because he is a Senator he is right? So we should vote them in and then let them do as they wish and hang on every word?? I bet you if you tracked don where his campaign contributions came from, they'd show whay he is saying that.
WTF?
As for the people who listen to these shows. Puppets being strung along by the other puppets. Seriously, the people who add something of their own are usually conspiracy theorists or they simply state how Universal Healthcare is a complete failure of democracy because doctors won't get paid. Ok. Today, as it sits, doctors are underpaid. If we actually cut out a lot of the insurance and admin BS, doctors could stand to make more. THINK FOR YOURSELF. Just because Michael Medved or Dennis Miller or Michael Savage call these people liberal idiots, morons, fascists, socialists, fascist dictators, does not mean you should forget your manners as well and do the same thing. Ask them for facts.
If Obama was a Fascist Dictator, the healthcare reform would not involve something called an OPTION, which is a major part of the reform. End of Story.
