“It's not so much he's a masochist, it's that he's a sociopathic narcissist. They're unable to differentiate between good attention and bad attention - any attention is good attention for them. And little joey's certainly loving it.

“Actually, you probably get a free copy of Going Rouge when you order a Handjob.

or, well, something like that... Ask Todd...”

“Just got back from checking it out... don't buy the hype, there were only 5-7,000 people there, that was the best Glenn Beck and Faux News could do despite all their trying. A sad lot, actually, utterly unable to articulate their viewpoints and frequently unable to even spell the words on their signs correctly...”

“Correction:

Imitation being the highest form of flattery... love your post, MemoryAlpha, you're always dead-on!”

“Just made it home from downtown DC... I was a train or two behind the ones that collided, got offloaded at NY Ave and snagged a ride up to Silver Spring... its a massive wreck, lots of helicopters and emergency crews all over in Takoma Park around the site of the collision.”

“"An important message from Free Speech Coalition Chairman Roger Hedgecock.

ABC News has reportedly agreed to broadcast its news June 24 from the Blue Room of the White House, virtually turning over news programming that night to the Obama Government.

ABC also plans a prime time special, "Prescription for America", again broadcast from the White House. This "Special" will feature Obama Government officials promoting the President's proposal for Government health care. No opposing views are allowed on the program.

As Chair of the Free Speech Coalition donttouchmydial.comm), I call on ABC to include all points of view on this most important issue. As more Americans become familiar with the complexities of the health care system and the various proposals to "reform" it, it is the responsibility of the "News" to let all voices be heard.

ABC News is in danger of becoming a propaganda organ for the Obama Government.

Our Coalition was formed to fight restrictions on Free Speech in the Media, particularly the "Fairness Doctrine" and its evil offshoots "localism" and "media ownership diversity" --policies now being considered for the purpose of censoring conservative talk radio by the Obama FCC.

For ABC News to present only the Obama Government side of this important issue would betray the public interest in a free press. "

They've obviously never heard of Fox News. Or, I suspect, the concept of irony...

“This whole Fairness Doctrine thing is a perfect microcosm of the insanity that's now pervading the wingnut/neocon/Refusenican Party... They've built an entire industry around this boogeyman of theirs - books, websites, etc.

I attended a talk-radio industry conference a couple weeks ago and it was the hot topic, despite being completely fictional.. For kicks, I signed up for one of the wingnut mailing lists about this topic and the other day received their latest screed in which, i sh%# you not, in their faux-outrage over the ABC special to be broadcast from the White House, they themselves call for the imposition of very Fairness Doctrine-like measures to counter ABC's exclusive. See if you can spot the contradiction/hypocrisy/insanity (cont'd in next post due to lenght):”

“but she licked a** like she was 9!!!!”

“I knew the second day that Morning Joe was on that America was less smart for it being on the air...”

“that conclusion is idiocy in action. congrats.”

“Unfortunately, sounds like there's still a bit of denial going on.. "My band had broken up"

You broke it up, Trey... Never forget "Mike said no!"”

“Perhaps. We'll have to wait to see how his writing post-dryout is. the TAB stuff isn't too promising, but we'll see...

But he wasn't playing his best at Hampton. Wasn't the worst, but not the best. Can't wait for Phenway to see if he's improving...”

“Uh, you must have missed the very existence of the Hampton run. they OPENED with Fluffhead! :)”

“Did one of those fingers have "Bristol" tattooed on it? ;)”

“And getting yourself shot down over enemy territory is not a qualification to lead the country.”

“You couldn't be more wrong. I've interviewed Kokesh and he is the real deal. That was anything but a Repube ploy.”

“wrong. the rules are set thru the end of this congressional session. if we boot Liarman Dems will still maintain control.”

“That's incredibly sexist of you. P enis or not, she's STILL the silliest choice since Mr. Potatoe-head!”

“Uh, so you're saying that after four years in the White House, an INCUMBENT Obama/Biden ticket would have to worry about the former mayor of a 9,000 person town who lost both the Miss Alaska competition and as VP?

Quit bogarting whatever you're holding and pass it this way, I want a big hit of it!”

“This is a GODSEND for us! they bought their own spin on the PUMA thing and took it hard in that direction. only problem is that the PUMAS are more a figment of the Repub/MSM machine than an actual electoral block.”
