My contention is that when liberals tell lies (or make mistakes) nothing happens. Were you alive during the Clinton administration? When conservatives tell lies (or make mistakes) they are grilled and philosophically crucified. *chuckling*

It is all you damn liberals and all the whining families that destroyed the coal mining industry in this country years ago. If you hadn't been whining about black lung, then we would still be prospering today in this industry! You are right, the only way to solve our problems is to allow corporate Amercia to take over and make the rules. John, why stop with the liberal congress and media, how about liberal law enforcement? Why don't we cut all spending in that area too? After all, we did just great back when there was one sheriff per city. Why are we wasting all this money today? Then, how about other areas of govenrnent, i.e. the liberal spending on air controllers? If a few planes crash, they'll get the idea to be more careful, right? How about the liberal FDIC? If people are stupid enough to bank at the wrong bank, why protect them? After all, aren't most large investments in the Stock Market anyway? Then, how about the liberal SEC? Corporate executives know best, don't they? If they can run our wonderful corporations, they should be able to handle the stock as they best see fit. Don't you agree? P.S. Good luck with your work on the Bush campaign.

i said nothing about silencing stossel. i said that abc should have fired him. i voted with my pocketbook, meaning that i stopped watching the show. as far as all of this "typical liberal" claptrap goes...can you ever make an argument without digging into that bag of conservative talk radio-style cliche?

You brought up lies of John Stossel, and I pointed out silencing ideas you liberals don't agree with. My contention is that when liberals tell lies (or make mistakes) nothing happens. When conservatives tell lies (or make mistakes) they are grilled and philosophically crucified.

When you apologize for the likes of Michael Moore for his "documentary" Bowling for Columbine, and for his recent a assertions for Bush being AWOL.

And it wasn't about the 'dangers' of organic food. He was pointing out that organic food is no healthier than non-organic food.

Typical liberal thug: Don't agree with sommeone. Try to censor: "FIRE THEM" You obviously know nothing about farming. I know Christmas Tree Growers (as I am one too) which grow "organic trees" They need 50% more land for the same crop. They burn more gas to mow the land and have more waste as more trees get lost to disease. He did make a mistake, he thought the test tested for pesticide resudues, which they didn't. He misspoke, and apologized. How about they countless fears that your liberal buddies have propegated which turned out to be bunk. Like the fear of eggs, alar, doctoring of numbers to suggest that millions of american children are "starving to death"

stossel is such a hack. he straight out lied on 20/20 about the 'dangers' of organic produce. abc should have tossed his ass out in the street for that.
