But that is exactly what they are. They advocate taking from those who have,
and
giving to those who have not.


So Jesus was a socialist?

Robin Hood?

If that is what they advocated, then yes, they were socialists.

Hard for you to understand Ft Boy?

In a genuinely competetive free market situation, this new liberal
network wouldn't last more than a few weeks. However, I suspect

that
it is being backed financially by some deep pocketed extremists who
have a socialist agenda that is more important to them than

financial
profits.


Is anyone else laughing as hard as I am over this nonsense. Rich

socialists
throwing away their money??

Maybe it is possible that wealthy capitlaists and Americans are

tired of the
hate being spread daily on the AM frequencies by the right. I'll try

to keep
from labeling them as Nazis, but that makes as much sense as calling

Democrats
socialists.



Yet further devaluation of the word "hate." I'm wondering at what
point this term became co-opted as a an all-purpose slur on those with
whom the left disagrees. Given the invectives hurled at Bush on a
daily basis from that side of the spectrum, it's particularly ironic.

The first poster's comments are not that far-fetched. Airamerica is
being bankrolled--the buying of stations and/or air time without
regard to market demand--by wealthy liberals--although I doubt they
qualify as socialists. I don't have a problem with that, but let's
not confuse this, at least not yet, with the marketplace at work. Of
course a lot of people would have trouble admitting that those dang
ol' rich conservatives aren't the only people in this country who use
their dollars to influence opinion.

Nope, not at all. Your idiocy is crystal clear.

And Limbaugh's and Hannity's aren't being bankrolled by wealthy Republicans? I
refrain from using the conservative word, as the majority of republicans are
not conservative.

Just wondering.................

Crystal clear.... Hmmmmmmmmm... did you clean your bong today?

The fact is, you are a convicted drug user... we have no reason to believe
anything you say...

Nor are we under any obligation to do so.

The students you ostensibly 'teach' should be provided with the 'facts' so
that they themselves can make up their own minds.

Be careful with that reasoning. Bush has been convicted of DUI and there's
excellent evidence that he did community service related to finding a white
powdery substance....

Nor are we under any obligation to do so.


Just as your bias, bigotry and rudeness put us under no obligation to listen to
you.

The students you ostensibly 'teach' should be provided with the 'facts' so
that they themselves can make up their own minds.


Do you want to come in and deliver a rebuttal? It might be interesting to have
you do so. Contact me if you're interested. My boss is a former commander at Ft
Knox, so you two should have a lot to talk about! His specialty area was human
relations - he probably busted a few folks like you right out of the armed
services!

He would have had a field day with Fort!

Can you document that with some 'credible' evidence Fat Boy?

A few folks like me Fat Boy? I was never 'busted' out of the Armed Services.

If anything, he'd be busting you! You are a convicted drug user!

I have three Honourable Discharges...

....you got any?
