(Is it even possible for someone to be as obtuse as this liberal is acting?)

Besides, if they don't like it, they can always call the cops.

Oops, those ARE the cops who are telling them to keep quiet.....

Think how loud you'd be screaming if Fox had refused to run those ads.

Think? Obama supporter? You made a funny!

Don't you understand "Fair and balanced"? Rupert Murdoch the owner of FOX is a LIBERAL. Why would he not accept ad revenue from anyone?

This is one of the two basic problems with modern liberalism.

(The other is the removal of incentives to work hard.)
