Clearchannel, Rupert Murdoch or Conrad Black. All these owners are extreme neo-con rightwingers and don't allow dissenting views in the media they own.

Rush Limbaugh, Dr Laura, et al. Boycott the Dixie Chicks or anyone else who opposes the invasion. Sponsor pro-war rallies. Hmmm, sounds pretty right wing to me.

Nowhere does he say he dismisses something on ClearChannel just because it is on ClearChannel.

Where is the contradiction? All he did was point out that ClearChannel is, in fact, conservative.

Guess I need a new definition on “contradiction”…
Your conclusion is specious because you have no “facts” to back it up…
The _fact_ is that we have not found any WMD.
My conclusion could still be in error but it is not because there are no facts to back it up.

Guest: Well Bill, all the evidence to date suggests that no weapons were found and none are likely to be, so why did rumsfeld say he knew where they were.
Host: Well they were found. The president said those trucks were mobile weapons labs. Obviously they are and you are being unpatriotic and putting our troops in danger by saying they aren't.
Pretty 'fair and balanced' wouldn't you say?
sidenote:
Just for your information the trucks were later found to be just what the Iraqi's said they were. Helium pumping trucks for observation balloons. That is what the Brits said and they should know as they sold them to the Iraqi's in the first place.

As far as the Clinton/Lewinski thing is concerned, I spent most of the little time I wasted on the entire affair wondering how getting a hummer in the oval office warranted impeachment. Not to mention all the money that was spent on the whole sordid affair. Or the time wasted that could have been spent on much more productive things. As I recall, your government was pretty much paralyzed because the GOP pitbulls had the bit in their teeth and wouldn't let it go. Can you imagine the howling and screaming fron the GOP if it had been a Democrat president who had mis-led your nation on the reasons he had invaded another country? Personally, I think Clinton is a scumbag. A pretty intelligent scumbag, but, a scumbag none the less. But then, that's pretty much what I think of anyone who f*cks around on their spouse.

Of course the truth doesn't give you any ammunition to throw in the face of conservatives; so, you don't want to hear it. If you did, you would already know all of this and would never have made such a stupid, uninformed statement. I see this in a lot of the arguments made by the people here who claim not to be leftists. I should probably not read these political threads; but, I can't help it. It's like a train wreck. You just can't look away. I try not to make futile arguments in debates that are more about stamina than substance. I just can't help it sometimes.

By defination a weapon of mass destruction produces death and destruction on a massive scale. Those shells might have had an effective radius of about 50 metres at best when they were new.
How about the cluster bombs and D.U. shells the US and British forces used in both Iraq conflicts? Both of them are gifts that keep on giving.
ClearChannel and FOX would seem to be a hell of a lot more conservative than say CNN. Right wing? Depends on your perspective. The further to the Left you are, the more to the Right the Middle, or a little Right of the Middle, seems to be.
Lots of posts since I was here last.
This one raised my eyebrow, I thought about it and think it is very true.
01 XLT Sport is referring to the Iraq invasion.
I don't know if Bush himself was aware that the election would turn on this one issue but, I predict it will cost him the White House in '04. November is just too far away for his approval numbers to hold up, especially when there is an actual alternative opponent whoever that may be. I think his best hope is that Democracts divide the vote of their Party amongst themselves to waterdown any one percentage. If Dean doesn't get the nomination he has the money to hang around and wreck it for the nominee.
I usually don't call an election when all the polls and 01 XLT Sport are against me but,
God told Pat Roberson that Bush would win in a landslide so I just couldn't help myself.
supercalifragilistic = So search will find this in November

You may not want to agree with the facts but the fact is President Bush took a huge political risk in doing the “right” thing and thinking of his country, our country first...
