19. Only in the canyon!
Who in the living fuck watches FAUX these days?

I did go and vote....but man, I know what the outcome is gonna be. As long as that insipid boring Brite Hume can't think anything else to do besides stroking Tony's balls, what's he gonna do?

Is Jeff Gannon around?

I just voted "yes". The yes tally remains at 389.

They really do have trouble with math, it would seem.

7. i filled it out
i love their reader quotes about bashing red state, gun owners, as they are calling up northwest librul elite. And a faux reader can say the apology isnt enough and to take them off the air? Oh that is laughable at fucking best.

8. Got a long way to go... they do have an anti-coulter post though
that basically shoots down their argument.

In response to your guest earlier who said "imagine if this was a conservative with a liberal president... the press would be all over this." I feel I have to point out that Ann Coulter, the conservative pundit, wrote regarding President Clinton "that the only question was whether to impeach or assassinate Clinton." This is clearly inflammatory and threatening language. The 'bit' on Air America was in a completely different context (comedy) though as the host of the show said "it was in bad taste."

14. How often is "never?"
RW talking heads never apologize. Never.

Randi opened her show, after the stupid Sludge story got spammed all over creation, with an apology and a heartfelt explanation that not only didn't she think the bit was funny, that she didn't advocate violence against anyone.

I've never heard anything even remotely like that from Hannity, Rush, Savage (ha!), or even slightly more civilized guys like Medved or Bennett. and I never will.

Oh well, I bet her ratings go through the roof.

13. The skit wasn't even about what the hyperactive fuckwads say it was
The skit involved people asking for their benefits getting shot by the person speaking, not the other way around.

It's complete bullshit.

17. Note the interesting wording of the questions
I think the limited options reveal the "hit piece" status of the poll:

Are you satisfied with Air America's apology?

a. Yes, it's enough. (21%)
542

b. No, we need to get tough. (76%)
1,972

c. Not sure (3%)

31. as Dr. Dean would say, its how they frame it.
Here the subtle suggestion is that you should expect an apology, the only question is are you satisfied with it. No you fuckers, they shouldn't apologize in the first place!

32. Voted. Currently 60% (3225 of 5366) say AAR did enough.
But 38% said that "we need to get tough." What do they mean by that? Vague threats of some kind of violence seems to be the norm for Rethugs these days when they are not actually carrying out the violence. Keeping in practice, I guess. It's hard work being bullies.

Looks like the freepers are falling behind for now.

Are you satisfied with Air America's apology?

a. Yes, it's enough.
(60%)
3,225

b. No, we need to get tough.
(38%)
2,055

c. Not sure

56. Actually
in a world where Ann Coulter can voice her regrets that Timothy McVeigh didn't blow up the New York Times, I don't see why Air America owes any apologies to anybody. And I'd say anyone that says they do appears to suffer from the delusion that the Second Amendment only applies to Repukes.

But I voted anyway. My little "up yours" to Faux.

68. Why did she apologize?
What on earth did she apologize for, you never apologize to these lunatics. Mocking or attacking them is the only thing they understand.

Otoh, the chickenhawks they adore are probably scared to death of a little comedy skit, so I suppose it's the humane thing to do not to leave them shaking in their boots. They need to toughen up over there at Fox and freeperville. They're a little thin-skinned it seems. I guess Randi got word Bush was hiding in his bunker all because of a joke. What a bunch of cowardly, morons.

Meantime they've been thrashed in their poll. What a laugh, the Hannity/O'Reilly crowd get tough? That's something I'd like to see.

a yes. (78%)
10,529


b. No, we need to get tough. (21%)
2,832


c. Not sure (1%)

69. She apologized because the skit was not her style
and because she's a proud, classy, consistently non-violent liberal - obviously Randi is their biggest threat, but it appears that they are outnumbered. With a tv station and coast to coast radio these hatemongers weren't even able to muster up more than 3000 votes! What a bunch of loser crybabies.
