Was it as defamatory as saying something like

Mike Broomhead can say what he wants. I can buy and service my new Fords where I want. I don't see a need to inflame half of your customer base by championing a wacko. There are plenty of places to buy a new car. I don't think that this is very smart for this business to take such a polarized stance.

I asked this question:

You admitted, "No, sorry. I was just spinning through the channels, and didn't watch for very long."


With that statement, you lost all credibility because you offer no substance. Next time, please come prepared to have a discussion.

I ran across him by accident, and was stunned at this lying, hate-mongering propaganda on broadcast television. I guess I'm naive, but I didn't think it was allowed. I though this kind of right-wing rant was restricted to cable and radio

.

No, sorry. I was just spinning through the channels, and didn't watch for very long

I find your comment that someone should not be exposed to the general public typical of liberal tolerance. When asked to provide evidence to back up your claims, you can't. I listen to Mike Broomhead occasionally on his morning radio show, and while I don't agree with him 100%, he is definitely not what you describe, unless you put anyone who disagrees with you as a lying, hate monger, who should be removed from the airwaves. I would suggest listening to his early morning show on AM550, mon-fri. Maybe even give him a call to confront him with his "lies and hate mongering". I've never heard him yell at anyone.

You mean like quoting all the "evidence" that the lefties have come up with over the last 12 months about Russian collusion?


You're missing the point. I'm talking about broadcast, not cable. And, in fact, for most television, there is some semblance of decorum.

Maybe 20 years ago there was; now a days, anything goes on any channel

"Limits"? This is America, my friend, free speech has NO limits..

Yes, you "kept" her out because you were gullible enough to fall for propaganda from a con man who is cited as lying on an unprecedented scale.

Dont even get me started on her and her rapist,impeached misogynistic husband; they have lied, cheated, and deceived the public for 20+ years, like most politicians have in this country..

No, sorry. I was just spinning through the channels, and didn't watch for very long.

Then you shouldn't make character assassination type statements about someone you know nothing about..

Sure,freedom of speech is limitless and the op is free to say what they feel. What is a problem, which was admitted by the op, is after "spinning through the channels" he made such an assessment of Mike Broomhead. I would go out on a limb and say that if the op (or yourself) turned on any channel that was even remotely a right leaning station he would've had a problem with it!

I was quoting the erroneous insinuation that freedom of speech is limitless. Of course it is not. I was poking fun at such a foolish claim.

I just wanted to add that after reading some of the replies, I thought I'd give this guy, Mike Broomhead, a second chance. So I listened for a bit more when I next ran across him. He was basically spouting statements devoid of any actual facts. For instance, things like "Governor Ducey has spent a lot of time on this, so you know it will work well."

So, beyond any right-wing ranting, he also seems to have no factual underpinnings.

So he's basically doing the same thing as CNN (The Clown News Network).
