Video: Crazed by Rush, Wes Clark calls for political discourse to be RATED
From Hot Air
He doesn’t say who’ll be doing the rating but he digs the idea of Congress yanking Rush Limbaugh off of Armed Forces Radio so presumably they’d be okay to head that up, too. The point he’s ostensibly trying to make is a simple one — that the U.S. government shouldn’t be broadcasting anything that harms its own military’s morale — but a standard that narrow wouldn’t let you regulate very much speech.
So he broadens it with a magnificently Orwellian invocation of “propriety” that has no discernible definition except his own arbitrary judgment about what does and doesn’t “cross the line.” Just laying a little groundwork for the Fairness Doctrine, planting a few seeds which he hopes will flower a few years from now.
I understand that I’m a very partisan guy and I have strong political views, I make fun of Democrats and liberals and some who may peep this site who may be left leaning may find some of my comments mildly offensive, but Wesley Clark is a fool however he is not alone.
I know some liberals that would listen to what Clark says and would think nothing of his ridiculously moronic statements.
How do seemingly reasonable people come to this moronic thinking?
Now forget that Clark has had ample time to get his facts straight on this Rush/Media Matters issue, but he chooses to STILL ignore the facts of the issue and is willing to go on television and distort facts.
Ya know during my work day I come in contact with a lot of folks in social settings all participating in some sort of educational forum or conference.
As I was setting up for one of the events the speaker had some clips from Fox News, I can’t remember the specific topic, but as one of the audience members who came to attend the presentation said to this presenter “you are not going to make us watch the Fox propaganda channel all day are you?” Another individual said, “news source for the less educated and ill informed, I don’t understand how people can watch that”
Man I was fuming, I wanted so bad to say something, these were two old white dudes, who lets just say works in the judicial system.
I still don’t get how any reasonable individual can make a determination on the quality and “truthfulness” of a broadcast network they don’t watch! Or a radio talk show host they don’t listen too.
I have heard more than a few national political pundits (in person) chastise the viewing audience of Fox News and listeners of Rush.
The will for “our” side to WIN, is so prevalent that reasonable processing of political discourse goes out the window.
Even if you don’t like how Fox News reports its stories with a right leaning slant, to make a determination of an individual’s intelligence based on where he or she chooses to get his or her information is just absurd.
I also overheard in a conversation during a presentation by an individual on Iraq, this was during casual conversation before the event, by a former U.S. Ambassador that “this war is purposefully sending poor kids to war as political fodder”, and “today’s military is made up of uneducated poor kids desperate to get a few dollars to feed their families.”
Folks this is the benefit of just listening to people. I rarely have conversations with people on politics or societal issues. That is why doing this blog is more for my self education, and as an outlet to express what is going on in my head than trying to “influence” anybody or anything.
As the lone darkie in so many social situations and because of the nature of my work many times as the fly on the wall, it’s safe for white liberal types to express their true biases and hang-ups during friendly conversation.
“Negros are one of us”, so it’s ok to spew retarded rhetoric, it’s likely that he is either ill informed or is incapable of processing our infallible and insightful liberal logic.
I learned a lot by listening to the leftist protesters in D.C. back in March of this year, the campaign slogans flowing freely from sufficiently programmed young skulls full of mush and the typical mindless liberal chants found at any Code Pink rally or Gay rights parade.
I learned much more from liberals at the 06 Daily Kos convention, as angry radicals leftists made their case promoting progressive causes and castigating the evil conservative propaganda machine.
As silly and inane as Clark sounded in the video, he is only doing his duty; he is on someone’s payroll. He simply sounds like every other clueless liberal promoting the voice of many mindless liberals who applaud the notion that people like Rush should be silenced at all cost, Negros like Clarence Thomas should be kept in his place, teaching kids about same sex partnerships in second grade is acceptable, abortion is birth control and we the taxpayers should be paying for it, God is a myth, income distribution is “necessary,” capitalism is evil, military personnel are uneducated puppets.
I guarantee you liberals will one day want to have blogs “rated” since bloggers are able to successfully filter and scrutinize liberal Democrat rhetoric.
