Appearing on CNN's Larry King Live, Al Franken said that firing Don Imus was the right decision but pointed out that CNN has its own anchor who regularly spews hateful & bigoted remarks.

The ThinkProgress link has the video of Al on Larry King Live. It also has some quotes (with sources) from Glenn Beck, like this one --
"I wonder if I'm alone in this - you know it took me about a year to start hating the 9-11 victims' families? Took me about a year."

Glenn Beck is a fascist windbag.
But this is America, I turn the channel when his slandering bull comes on. Anyone familiar with Imus knows he is no more a racist than Oprah. He said something stupid, he should be suspended for a few weeks but this kneejerk reaction is no victory over bigotry. Freedom of speech is more important.
I'm always offended by that idiot transexual Ann Coulter.
She calls John Edwards a "faggot" and suggests his wife's cancer is a ploy to get sympathy votes. Now THAT is offensive.

You see, jovial (hardly) has become the 'speech police'.
I suggest you research Poznan, Poland, Himmler, October 4,1943.
'Chilling' indeed !

mmmmmmmm........Heir' jovial' apparently does not want 'to come out and play'.
You see, when the liberal/fascist is confronted with the sourch of his/her talking points, they retreat to the Reich Chancellery.

And then we have bubba2.
I suspect that he is a Brown Shirt.
No doubt a participant in the Kristalnaght.
In this case, he breaks the windows at Fox News on a dark November night.
Ohhhhhhh, how brave they are.

Alright, another campaign to cleanse the airwaves.
However, we might not be as successful removing Glenn Beck as we were with Don Imus.
Reasoning: Say what you will about Don Imus, one thing he consistently did was berate the Bush Administration about the War on Iraq. It seems that it was one of the few things that separated him from the likes of Billo and Glenn Beck.
Beck will stay on the air because the corporations want as many pro-Bush voices as they can get.

Add to the list Sen. Dick Durbin who likened our troops to Nazi's. How he is still in office... I don't know. It is by definition hate speech.

smile, bubba2..........
Is that the best you can offer when your Nazi talking points are reveled?
How truly pathetic you are........
When the gutless libs are called out, this is the best they can offer ?
I would offer you something from your idol Al Sharpton, but it is the same anti-semantic hate speech.
And you would already know that, of course.
btw, why do you hate the Jewish people ??

oooooohhhhhhh, people.
In another thread on this board our friend Heir Bubba2, was blaming the Jews as the problem for Pelosi's ill fated trip to the Middle East.
Himmler, July 19, 1942.
Do the research?
Oh yes my friends, Heir bubba2 has all the answers, much like his friend Himmler.
