I agree John W, it does make those who engage in the petition look stupid. In TV land you vote with your remote control. If his ratings go low enough, he’ll be gone. His attitude may keep some people from appearing as guests on the show, but for others the lure of getting air time is strong enough that they’ll still be there.

Debbie, I never suggested he should be deported and think that makes those who engage in the petition look stupid, which they likely are. I just find it ironic that he is rightfully using a First Amendment defense, while denying any person with an opposing viewpoint to get so much as a word in.

I just read John Scalzi’s “Redshirts”. It’s funny. Weird but funny.

John Wilburn, being rude is a bad personal trait, especially for a TV host, but it’s not a deportable offense.

“16.Here’s a great list of ways to be a better commenter on a blog, from Whaterver’s John Scalzi.”

If enforced, his number 8 would rid us of #15.

Warren dragging the same topic from thread to thread:

“the Tiahrt amendment, which not one of the VCDL on here has ever acknowledged as an impediment to honest debate. Not One.”

Because it doesn’t.

I know you like a world full of limitless big brother and regulation, but you take for granted how free you are becuase of the people who have fought that.

Piers never lets anyone who disagrees with him get a word in. He is worse than Bill O’Reilly. He rudely interrupts anyone with an opposing viewpoint and doesn’t allow his guests’ free speech. Rights are a two-way street.

Dan, my oldest son and I had breakfast at Angelo’s this morning, and we both had the steak tacos. Very, very good. Thanks for the suggestion.
