Quite frankly this whole question of where they were leads down to “our guys not in power, lets protest the other”. Its normal (as in this is what happens, doesnt mean this is how it should be), and this happens for both the right and the left.

During Clinton years: GOP was up in arms about whether he has sex with her while not bothering protesting that their party (Bush family in perticular) was in bed with the Arabs..

During the GW Bush years: The Dems up in arms about the war in iraq while not protesting their own furthering this 9/11 truthers movement.

Both sides have their flaws. Both sides will be stupid and have ignorance damaging just causes.

The right and some left wanted to push for accountability with these tea parties, but had it tarnished by the few that threw racism into the mix.

The left and some right wanted to stop the unfounded war in iraq with their anti-war protests, but had it tarnished by anti-oil conspirators and 9/11 truthers.

Can’t we all just get along? Probably not, but we can unite on middle ground: we need to fix the deficit (I know I’m Canadian, but it does affect me too), and that the wars in iraq and Afghanistan either need to be won properly and fast, or to drop it and bring our troops home.

First, I did address your assertions, but you obviously missed the point of asking who you are – if you are not some anonymous Internet troll… She is, unless you prove otherwise, a lot more well known than you and is a successful comedian, regardless of whether or not you like her. Secondly, where in the Constitution does it say everyone has the right to watch everything they want in a place of business? It doesn’t. Sure, the business can air what they want, as long as it doesn’t impede on any else’s rights, but I make it clear that people should first try to get the owner/employee to change the channel. Additionally, someone using the device is not permanently removing the channel from the TV, so nobody’s “freedom of the Constitution” is being deprived. Lastly, you don’t know what I watch, or don’t watch, and, apparently, the fact that, yes, I do know what Fox News has reported about Van Jones and ACORN, much of which has been false, misleading and/or illegally obtained. If you believe Van Jones served time in prison, or that nobody at ACORN ever called the cops about the attempted human trafficking act & believe everything you’ve seen on Fox News, you are the one with the closed mind.

You say I am wrong yet you have not once refuted any of my assertions regarding the rant queen or that you encourage by the sale of your gadget, the disabling of that which you don’t want to see or hear. It seems not to matter to you, you are attempting to deprive someone else that which they might choose to hear under the freedom of the Constitution. Since you refuse to hear anything on Fox you most likely are unaware of Van Jones’ questionable character or the corruption disclosed in ACORN. News which your chosen outlets either ignored or were unaware of. Your comments conform with a fish that’s unaware it’s wet. You can have the last word as you do well at making my point. Also I prefer to debate facts and not talking point rhetoric from a closed mind.

“You only want to turn off TVs that carry things you don’t want to see or hear.”
You’re wrong again. What I don’t want to see, or hear, is false advertising – Fox News is entertainment, so they shouldn’t be allowed to call themselves “news,” which leads people to believe that they broadcast 100% truth 24/7. That is hardly the case and, if they were on Comedy Central, it wouldn’t be as big of a deal… of course, there are right wingers who believe Colbert is on their side… so, I guess you just can’t help some people…

FNB,

OK, you win. Right wing, opps, I meant “religious right wing nuts” want to burn books. You only want to turn off TVs that carry things you don’t want to see or hear.

Personally I try to read and watch all points of view. It prevents me from becoming like a fish that doesn’t know it’s wet.

“Do you sell matches also so we can burn books”
No, I’m not a religious right wing nut.

FNB? Is that your name?

I don’t think she has a job at this point. her last gig was a bit part on a few episodes of 24 hours. The cast agreed to strike if she were allowed back. Anyway it matters not who I am but it nonetheless does not prevent me from making honest observations of Ms. Garafalo’s very limited success if one were to make that stretch.

Do you really sell gadget remotes to silence TV stations you don’t agree with. Do you sell matches also so we can burn books or maybe ear plugs in case we get to close to a banned radio station? All this time I thought liberals were in favor of free speach.

jfhubel, She hasn’t done anything? Who are you? What’s your name again?

Robert, Perhaps you could answer this: What protests did Fox News promote and/or Fox News personalities help organize prior to Obama being elected President?
