I also can't listen to it much any more either - it makes me aggravated after a few minutes - I think it's designed to inflame emotions - and it does a very good job of it...

Oh, wait, actually, they're not. Sorry.
Actually, maybe they're not trying to silence talk radio...

Maybe just to make it more 'Fair and Balanced' - both sides report - you decide...

No, they're not trying to silence talk radio, they are trying to keep it fair. If you read post #21 or google "Ed Schultz Armed Forces radio" you'll see Republicans trying to silence the opposition.

It is a whole lot deeper than that. If Limbaugh is force fed on our troops for an hour every day than YES why not "force" them to hear the flip side for an hour. The troops do NOT control who they can hear. Fairness here is vital.


AND the Republicans tried to FORCE the station NOT to carry Ed...see both sides, all sides, more to the story than the bumper sticker....

there is an easier way to say what you are trying to say. you don't believe in capitalism or a free market. there, you said it. who the hell is forcing the troops to listen to rush limbaugh? doesn't iraq have an 80's light rock station?

actually, no. I wasn't caught in anything. you make a good point though. when you said, "" and "". those were both ground breaking statements and typical of liberals who have nothing to say.

Jmarquise,
I been reading same of your posts, and my impression is that you are trying really hard to appear as a wise, intelligent and all around very knowledgeable person. But here is a newsflash for you: YOU ARE NOT DOING A VERY GOOD JOB AT IT.
As a matter of fact you are doing lousy job.
