I couldn't care less if "Teabagging" and other sexual innuendo targeted Libertarians, Republicans, Democrats, or progressives, conservateives, liberals, anarchists, etc., it has absolutely no place in a show like that.

People watching that show should expect a certain level of politics but I don't think viewers tuning in would have expected blatantly sexual comments.

Fox News has Red Eye and the show goes over the line frequently but it's a late night show not a primetime show. A little common decency would dictate that primetime TV news shows (cable or broadcast - left or right) not use sexual innuendo or juvenile sexual terms. But I think CNN has recently shown that they have been bought out by the left and that associates with lower standards.

Editor's Note: Parts of the following story make explicit references to graphic sex and will be objectionable to readers. It is not suitable for children.

The Federal Communications Commission will review complaints it receives over the on-camera gutter talk of anchors for CNN and MSNBC that came as they condemned the tea party movement in which hundreds of thousands of Americans met on Tax Day to protest not just taxes but a runaway government digging the nation into trillions of dollars in debt.

The complaints already are being delivered. A WND reader who asked that a name not be included in this report confirmed: "I called the FCC to make a complaint.

They are opening an investigation, and he suggested I get everyone I know, who saw or heard the language, innuendos and slurs to contact the FCC, and complain. They need a number of complaints to be able to do anything."


CNN's Anderson Cooper, who made repeated "teabagging" references, and MSNBC's David Shuster, who said,

"Teabagging day for the right wing and they are going nuts for it."


"Tea-bagging" is known in the homosexual subculture as a practice involving a particular form of oral sex.






CNN gutter talk complaint awaits review at FCC

WorldNet?????

Explains a lot.

I too hate free speech.

Shouldn't some of you free market heroes be working on boycotts instead of leveraging the government to stifle speech? Vote with your dollar, right?

It's funny that liberals suddenly found libertarian religion when it suits their purpose.

So do these people.

FOXNews.com - Texas Mayor Singles Out N-Word for Ban - Politics | Republican Party | Democratic Party | Political Spectrum

Thanks to the LIBERAL FCC, you don't have free speech rights when broadcasting content.

Agreed. These networks should show some common decency as this wasn't a late night show.

I just want to do research on bigoted terminology so I can speak liberal.

Am I speaking liberal or something by being consistent and saying that neither should be "banned" or fined or whatever?

If anyone would be a believer in the free market sorting this situation out I would assume it would be you.

WorldNetDaily provides primarily evangelical-conservative-oriented news and editorials, publishes letters to the editor, maintains forums and conducts a daily poll. It has been described as having a right wing conservative perspective.[5][6]
Besides providing articles authored by its own staff, the site links to news from other publications. Notable staff includes Aaron Klein - Jerusalem Bureau Chief, Lester Kinsolving - White House Correspondent and Staff Writer Jerome Corsi. The website's Commentary page features editorials from the site's founder, Joseph Farah and other social conservative authors such as Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, David Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Chuck Norris. It also features weekly columns by libertarians Walter Williams, Vox Day, and Ilana Mercer, as well as liberal Bill Press and pro-life moderate Nat Hentoff.[7] The site also offers products for sale, advertising these products alongside related news stories. Typically these are products sold by its related book service, WND Book Service; publishing house, WND Books; or its retail operation, ShopNetDaily. The site also contains advertisements for WND's printed magazine, Whistleblower, and other companies. WND also operates the G2 Bulletin, a subscription-only website described as an "intelligence resource" for "insights into geo-political and geo-strategic developments."
