Even for you. I did listen to the whole pathetic radio segment and your idol, Bill0, didn't offer any qualifiers or pull any punches. He said, flat-out, "<em>if she hadn't been drunk she'd be alive today</em>". He did not say her behavior made her more vulnerable. He didn't say she could have made better decisions. And he didn't say her murderer deserves all the blame.Instead, he compared her "misbehavior" to a loud-mouth movie star who said a bunch of stupid crap when he got arrested and claimed she got what was coming to her. I don't expect to make the slightest impression on a sick freak like yourself, Tracy, but I won't give you the last word. You’ve reached a new low, stupid troll. Even for you.

You could see their studio from the 101 Freeway, that is until Fox took it over and moved the studio elsewhere. I at first thought Fox would be a good national media company to rival the big three, but it has been a major disappointment. They have become worse than CBS in its obvious right wing, ultra conservative, tainted news views. But hey, their views are needed for the narrow minded minions of our country who would rather see our country go back to a time just a decade before the turn of the century. The turn of the 20th century that is. Back to a time when women and non-whites were considered non-entities, little to no midlle class and no labor unions. But then I digress. People, if you don't like what you hear what comes out of the mouths of B.O. or K.O. then don't tune into their shows if it gets you so upset. But I guess there are many of you who really believe that your rude comments here are really meaningful and substantive when you trash another's point of view. Don't get me wrong but I will be the first in line to defend your right to free speech no matter how foolish you may appear to others. Free speech should be more than just expressing nonsense and back up your point of view with some arguable and intelligent facts.

The GOP is not in a state of transition. They are just crawling deeper into their bunkers and casting out any who might set a more cautious and rational course. (Sorry about the mix of metaphors.) They have become so beholden to radicals that they have no choice. If they try to cooperate with the new Administration? They lose the Psychochristians(TM), neonazis, and frightened children they exploited to gain power in the first place. In order to reclaim moderates they must lose the extremists. As for the prospects for 2010? They only win if everything the Democrats try fails. Unfortunately they seem Hell-bent on doing everything they can to ensure failure and it just might work. Either way it's far too early to make any predictions. Finally; <em>But, if You don’t Print the Truth, then are’nt You Printing a LIE</em> I have to guess on this one. I'm assuming that you are implying that context changes the meaning of words. There's much truth to that, however, all words have meaning. And some words are wrong regardless of context. Ditto for deeds. For what it's worth, I used to be a Republican. However, their continued embrace of the most extreme members has alienated me, and MANY other moderates. I would dearly love to see one, or more, viable alternatives to the Democrats but, today's GOP doesn't fit that description. They've become a party of extremists and obstructionists. Alas.

Amanda Terkel said she didn't recall the remarks about Gibson because they were irrelevant to the point of her post. 2. While I admit that Media Matters has an agenda (though I disagree with your contentions on the specifics) they do no more than repeat the exact words of media and government figures. You may disagree with their interpretations but it's ridiculous to claim they lie. 3. Their is nothing "conservative" about today's Republican party and, thanks to their alienating every voice of moderation and reason that once claimed allegiance to the Republican party, they don't have the numbers. That's why they've been handily defeated in the last two election cycles. Wrong again, stupid troll.

It's an opinion about someone who sexually harassed a coworker and payed off the victim. Slander would be a false public statement with the intent of harming him, his family, his friends, his reputation, or his career. Here's an example. When a t.v. commentator gives an opinion that Cheney's admitted actions are crimes, it's an opinion. If the same commentator made a positive assertion that Cheney served roasted orphans at a state dinner? That would be slander. Calling Bill0 a “sexual predator” is not slander.
