Traitorous

When you screw with Sean Hannity, you screw with 10-million people who tune in specifically to see him. Republican Senator George Voinovich, Ohio, attempted to slap the crap out of Sean Hannity last night with regard to the immigration bill, and showed a massive amount of disrespect. I suspect this may largely backfire on the senator. I repeat: see my first sentence.

And: haven't you ever wondered, recently, why seemingly all of a sudden the Fairness Doctrine is being thrown into the public domain?

In other words: why here, on the immigration bill and, most importantly, why now?

I can provide the answer, for both sides of the aisle:

• For Trent Lott, the defeatist RINO, it's because YOU DISAGREE WITH HIM.
• For John McCain, the defeatist RINO, it's because YOU DISAGREE WITH HIM.
• For the ENTIRE Democrat Party, it's because YOU DISAGREE WITH THEM.

The re-emergence of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" has NOTHING to do with fairness and EVERYTHING to do with the most expeditious fashion to make YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP so that you NO LONGER have the greatest amount of input into politics. And now Senator Lindsay Graham enters the fray as well with disparaging comments about talk radio, that talk radio is a problem. For those not familiar, Graham said:

Graham suggested that critics of the immigration bill were motivated by racism, saying on ABC News, “We’ve been down this road before — ‘no Catholics,’ ‘no Jews,’ ‘Irish need not apply.’ ”

Do you understand me?

This is all, on BOTH sides, an attempt to completely abrogate the FIRST AMENDMENT.

This is an attempt to HIJACK the US CONSTITUTION.

And why?

Because our collective voices HAVE BEEN EFFECTIVE.

And BECAUSE we have been EFFECTIVE in exposing hazards and untruths about the immigration bill to date, the WAY we make our opinions KNOWN must be REMOVED. Our ACCESS to the FREE SHARING of THOUGHTS and OPINIONS must be deleted. Oh, so sorry to all, that simply is not "appropriate."

To me, this is heinous.

It is not just heinous, it is TRAITOROUS.

I leave it to YOU to determine if my label is proper. I generally dislike labels but, in these instances, it is proper and applicable. And just wait for cloture tomorrow -- and its results.
