Neither is the news, but they generally tend to be nonpartisan. So, hypothetically if you worship Satan and HATE Jesus, and you happen to flip onto one of the Jesus channels and take offense to what you hear, you would have a very similar arguement. What separates us from Lebanon, is that we can opine about whatever we want, however radical it is, without worry of bodily harm, death or banishment, so long as we do it in a peaceful matter. Anyone who feels it should not be so, I urge you: Look for the nearest oppressed country. ]]> 407780@blogcritics.org Fri, 14 Jul 2006 21:05:28 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/11/21/091223.php#comment-100036 Imus is classless scum. He shouldn't have a TV show. ]]> 100036@blogcritics.org Tue, 23 Nov 2004 11:28:00 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/11/21/091223.php#comment-99987 I agree completely with Ductape (wow!). Given the source of this broadcast, I am not surprised to find a hateful and ignorant rant. Hate and potty-mouthing are the stock-in-trade of much of morning talk radio. Politicians would do well to avoid a venue like Imus, rather than validate such trash programming by appearing with him. ]]> 99987@blogcritics.org Tue, 23 Nov 2004 08:58:21 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/11/21/091223.php#comment-99705 you are right both about double standards and about the unacceptability of these statements. ]]> 99705@blogcritics.org Sun, 21 Nov 2004 13:01:10 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/11/21/091223.php#comment-99678 That article is talking about Palestinians, not Israelis. It is still extremely disturbing thought. ]]> 99678@blogcritics.org Sun, 21 Nov 2004 11:25:44 EST
