Nope, Stevens (88) and Ginsberg (75) are the most likely candidates for
replacement. Roberts, Alito, and Thomas, are all 60 or under.

Well, then, I guess prayer is in order. ( :) )

Obviously you don't know what freedom is so *you haven't got a
clue of
about the subject*.
Say what?
I do have a couple of clues *of about* the Queens English.
Besides, one could argue that over the past 4 years we've had more
freedom
than you. (just ask your border guards)

Turns out the hatchet fell at NPR. My sister, Vicky OHara got axed
and I know she did not expect it. Life is rough but fortunately she
has no kids. I always thought NPR had almost no balance, great
programs but no balance. You could end up more ignorant after
listening than before.


Only if you are a brainwashed rightie whose ability to absorb reality
longer than a 60-second soundbite doesn't exist.


I've had quite a few laughs over the idiotic whining about the
"fairness doctrine." I'm old enough to remember the horrors of the
HUAC hearings and the various blacklists against actors, directors,
writers, and performing artists. *That* was real war against freedom
of speech.

How many of those accused of being communists were not communists?



Who cares? There's nothing illegal about it.

Communism by definition is anti-American.

You know, I've heard lots of railing against reinstating the fairness
doctrine, but I've heard of very few that actually want to reinstate
it. Obama, for one, is on the record against reinstating it.

Check with the US Senate.




Ain't payback a bitch? OF course, the fairness doctrine doesn't call for
censorship of any kind, so if it were reinstated, the loony righties
could go on spewing their hate speech just as they are now.

Not direct censorship but the result is the same.

What are you afraid of........?

Censorship... *you wouldn't understand. Your govt won't let you watch
the frekin' Simpsons and you sit back and take it..

I just can't believe that. Canada won't let the Simpsons be broadcast over
their airwaves or cable? Hell we've been watching them for 25+ years in
the USA.

Good Lord....... don't listen to JustHate... he's stoned on LoonyTune ganga.
Even the CBC ran re-runs just before the 6 o'clock news for years.- Hide quoted text -

What are you blathering about? Are you accusing me of possessing drugs?

As I stated there is nothing illegal about it. As for it being
"anti-American," I don't know what that really means. There are plenty
of events taking place in this country many would consider anti-American.

Is there an official list?

Why is that? If Limbaugh and Coultergeist can continue to spew their
hate unabated, where's the censorship?

Pelosi's a big pusher.


It's good that it annoys people like you and JustHate. It's not going
anywhere, but it does cause anguish on the right because of the fear the
right-wing hatemongers might be forced to act more responsibly.

I am going to enjoy watching the next four to eight years of apoplexy on
the right. Rush will be back on hard drugs and probably OD and die,
hopefully right on the air. I haven't been watching the Supremes
closely...are any of the right-wingers on the high court close to death?

Sick SiCK sicK sICK SICK. You are one sick cocksucker Krause.
Merry Christmas.

Who would listen to your sick prayers?
