Anyone watching Crossfire today? It is so rife with hate mongering

[Democrat 4 Ever]

that if the FCC had a backbone they would pull Falwell and the GOP shill (I try not to clutter my beautiful mind with useless names!) in for heavy fines for their nasty, petty comments. The repugs have given up any pretense of trying to be cordial and having a pseudo conversation about the issues. They are beyond smug, beyond hateful and beyond even attempting to make sense. And the audience has got to be paid plants. I have never heard such screaming and yelling of approval at every word that comes out of Falwell or the other guy's mouths. The barely let the liberal side get in a single word - and when they did they just laughed at every comment. The hate is just oozing out of every pore of these two. Why do Dems continue to appear on this show and pretend it is anything but a 30 minute hate fest for the repugs?

Thought they were canceling this junk and why doesn't Begalia bail while he still has at least a modicum of self respect?

1. they bussed in a pro-Falwell crowd

I thought I was watching "Dayside" on Faux News.

5. Arrrrgh Linda Vester

Dayside is the most ridiculous show on the air period, and I have seen the Anna Nicole Show so that is saying something.

2. Not to be picky

As I totally agree we don't need this hatred being spread, but the FCC has no jurisdiction over cable. And I want it to stay that way please.

3. I thought it was cancelled?

Why is that piece of crap show still on?

[ArkDem]

4. Very well worded!

6. Isa Is A Serial, Blatant Liar....The Crowd Was Full Of Rioters...

And Falwell is, well, just Falwell, a religously insane bigot...

I'd like to dip something of their's in purple ink, but it ain't their fingers...

[Democrat 4 Ever]

7. Well, if its not fingers what could it be? I'm pretty sure they are

all d*ckless, ch*ckensh*t thugs. I'd like to dip their entire faces in purple ink - so much easier to spot and ignore them.

8. instead of ranting about CNN here

I hope you all email them and tell them what you think! It's the only way they are going to get it.

:hi:

9. I know it's frustrating...

to hear this crap. But in America they should have a right to say it as repugnant as it is. If we are going to try to censor "them," then the right wing will use that as an excuse to censor us.

So let's leave the FCC out of this.

10. Who was that Congresswoman who got reamed by Falwell and..

why the hell didn't she know what she was talking about?

The Republicans have their damn talking points. We've seen them posted here. Why the hell can't the damn Democrats come up with this sort of issue analysis and talking points of their own. I'm talking simple preperation on the issues and maybe a little debate training for party spokespeople--it's not brain surgery.

If someone sucks on TV they shouldn't be out there representing the damn party. Also, why can't the Democrats pay people to get into these things and boo the Republicans.

Hey Howard Dean, are you listening?

11. I swear DUers have the points down better than some of these

Dem politicians....

I aslo swear that the best that we got very rarely ever go in front of the camera.
WTF is that all about?
