commentary to radio stations
 
people on this board are quick with the commentary. I was wondering if
these people email their comments all the time to stations like Cuba
and China telling them what they think ?????

imagine emailing RHC to tell them they are a bunch of hypocrites etc.

We take our freedom for granted every day, and I'm the world's worst.

So many have sacrificed so much just so we can have the right to criticize
our leaders and our government.

Thank you vets.

What's boggling is the number of vets on this NG that call you a traitor if you
exercize your freedom of criticism. What did they think they were defending?

Think about what you just wrote and when you see the illogical assertion,

let
me know.

I can give you a hint, if needed.


It does get silly around here jd. I tried to spell it out a little for him.
Maybe he's so far left that he believes us conservatives have no right to
free speech?

I sure don't.

And I'm not going to solve the world's problems until I get the
United States' problems settled and there are just all /sorts/ of
people who don't think I have all the answers. Their loss; the
United States' loss; the world's loss. And my wife keeps asking
why I haven't straightened out the United States like she told me
to do.

Would RHC or someone else read the e-mails on the air? Brother Stair
sometimes takes calls, and every once in a while someone calls him a
hypocrite. It's well worth hearing!!

Well, Brian, the cat's out of the bag now!

Seriously, I find it particularly perplexing when someone complains their
right to free speech trumps someone else's right to free speech.

It usually surfaces from someone with a liberal viewpoint. For instance:

The Dixie-Chick(s) start "singing the blues" when they realize that the
right to express an opinion works both ways. That they never considered
someone's right to free speech could include advocating a boycott of their
products reeks of either rank naivety, or extreme eliteism.

Tim Robbins - How dare someone else use their right of free speech to
criticize me.

Michael Moore - Same thing.

John "Two-Face" Kerry - Same thing.

J. Garafolo(?) - Same Thing

etc. etc. etc...

Now, I'm sure such vocal proponents of free speech and public debate DO
NOT have any intent to strip those same rights away anyone else. It's just
very difficult to try and understand the mind-set that on the one hand is
a most vociferous supporter of free-speech, yet routinely equates any free
speech criticism directed at them as somehow different from their right to
criticize...


You nailed it jd!. Liberals hate to be critiqued in any way shape or form.
It hurts their sence of moral superiority ;) Oh yea? You don't mind if I
barrow your {MIKE TERRY PROTECTION }devise? Do ya? :))

It's not only liberals. Look at the Bush Administration's suggesting
that criticizing the war is treasonous while at the same time insisting
they're in it for freedom's sake. AND it's not only the elites-the
average guy seems to be all for free speech as long as it's his free
speech and not anybody else's, an attitude which allows the elite to get
away with it. There's a reason that free speech is the first of the
rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.

It's no different than what I said earlier - There's nothing
constitutionally wrong with defeatist remarks about either the war on
terrorism or the troops in harms way. There's also nothing
constitutionally wrong with anyone else criticizing those defeatist
remarks as damaging to the moral of those very troops and encouraging to
the enemy.

So, you think it's wrong when someone else points out the impact of
defeatist rhetoric as if it's oppression -yet- by your very demands, you
are insisting counter opinions be either outright suppressed or given less
weight.

I just find it difficult to understand the logic behind that
interpretation of free-speech...

No, it's still there in your reply - but it looks like the attribution
lines got crammed together... Up towards the top, it appears it was
"tommyknocker".
