		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Comrades,&lt;/strong&gt;

Forget about Horse Racing Operations! We must focus on ABCâ€™s â€œThe Path to 9/11â€ 

These traitors at ABC are betrayers of our new mother land. Where I come from, this Robert A. Iger would be dragged through the streets in front of the tomb of our glorious leader Vladimir Lenin and shot in public. The producers, directors, writers and anyone associated with this propaganda would be picked up in the early hours of the morning by our State Security Chief Lavrenty Beria (The Black Hand) and taken to a Siberian labor camp never too be heard from again.

For many years I have been loyal to ABC and the Pravda (truth) that our Socialist Liberal ally has put forth in order to progress our ultimate goal; the decline and absolute destruction of America and the capitalist traitorous pigâ€™s like ABC.

I ask you Mr. Robert A. Iger, â€œHave you no shame Sirâ€?

Comrades, we must not give up the fight. It has taken us many years to groom you and your elected leaders.

Remember what our great leader Nikita Khrushchev said:

â€œ We can&#039;t expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism &quot;

Itâ€™s more important now then ever before that we stand together and stay focused!  We can not allow this abomination of propaganda to go forward.

We must do whatever it takes to keep this film from airing on Sunday the 10th, 2006, we only have a few hours left.

It is your duty as loyal Liberal Socialist Democrats to rise up in solidarity and put a stop to this immediately!

Senator Harry Reid, one of our courageous and distinguished Senatorial leaders from the state of Nevada, reminded the capitalist traitorous pigs at ABC of their license from the FCC.  Please Senator Reid, weâ€™re your loyal comrades in arms and begging you to use all the glorious power you possess.  You must stop this film!  You must push forward with an iron fist and crush this despicable display of propaganda.

If this film isnâ€™t stopped from airing on ABC, Sunday night, Iâ€™m afraid all our efforts since the cold war and the aspirations of our great leaders from glorious years past and Nikita Khrushchevâ€™s dreams and predictions will have been lost.

If we loose now, the great Liberal Socialist Democratic Party, we have nurtured, will decline into the ash heaps of history never too be heard from again. 

You must!.... I repeat, you must contact our comrades in arms at their offices in Washington.

Now Iâ€™ve done all the work all you have to do is contact our comrades below by e-mail or call:

You need to keep a REALLY sharp eye on things with these guys!!  And I think you know who I mean!</description>

		<description>Marie - &quot;I thought his name was familiar. The history of this guy prompted me to write to PBS and tell them I would not send them $$ until they got rid of Tomlinson!&quot;

You played right into their hands!  Tomlinson was put there to wreck the PBS you see.  Which is why one of the first things he did when he took over at CPB (PBS, NPR) was oversee a cut in their budget.  Seemed a bit weird to me at the time (Hi everyone - I&#039;m the new guy and I just wanted you all to know that I plan to work towards having our budget CUT!)

BTW - BBG&#039;s budget (considered propaganda by most) was recently generously padded while CPB&#039;s budget was drastically cut.  As Timothy Karr said, &quot;Fake news trumps real reporting&quot; in this administration.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://mediacitizen.blogspot.com/2006/02/bush-budget-pumps-propaganda-slashes.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;

Unfortunately, while Tomlinson may not be there anymore, his like-minded cohorts are.  

For example, the current chair of CPB&#039;s board is Mrs. Cheryl Halpern.  In addition to having previously served as &quot;director of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty&quot; and &quot;on the Broadcasting Board of Governors overseeing Voice of America, Radio and TV Marti, RFE/RL, Worldnet, Radio Free Asia and Radio Free Iraq&quot; in 2001 &quot;Mrs. Halpern used her personal funds to commission a review of anti-Semitism in Syrian schoolbooks.&quot;

&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cpb.org/aboutcpb/leadership/board/halpern.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;

Apparently, she is also, &quot;An expert horsewoman&quot;.

And CPG&#039;s vice chair, Gay Hart Gaines, is currently a member of the American Enterprise Institute and the Heritage Foundation.

&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cpb.org/aboutcpb/leadership/board/gaines.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;

It appears that the CPG has been completely infiltrated!&lt;/a&gt;</description>

&lt;em&gt;Nice, resorting to name calling. Typical liberal practiceâ€¦..

YOU BIGOT. YOU DOWN RIGHT RACIST!!!!! Blah blah blah

Name the last time a Christian ran someone over in the name of Jesus.

Comment by Keith Olberman is a j*ckoff â€” August 29, 2006 @ 9:15 pm &lt;/em&gt;

Geez, Jackoff, it&#039;s been almost 12 hours now and you still haven&#039;t put your money where your speaking orifice is. I have no idea whether or not the guy was a Muslim. But, you&#039;re a bigot, because you insisted he was, even though you haven&#039;t found any proof of it, yet. Did he run over someone in the name of Allah or Mohammed? No? Then there&#039;s no point to your challenge. But, I&#039;ll bet I could name some Christians who have assassinated doctors in the name of Jesus or set off nail bombs at Planned Parenthood clinics and killed, maimed, and blinded people in the name of Jesus. Would that do?

You keep throwing stuff up against the wall, hoping something&#039;s going to stick. So far, nada. And, obviously Keith Olbermann&#039;s effective use of the truth to crush your heroes and myths is just driving you nuts. Hence the stupid moniker.</description>
