It's more of a pipe dream than anything else...

I don't think that will be changed. It would be argued by ACLU-wannabes who would argue that it creates an unfair and racist nature to elections because of the plight of those who live in underpriveledged communities, essentially the same argument as last time except with a few alterations, and it would be judged under strict scrutiny, as the court would have to. bam. court. illegal.

Agreed.

I hate the ACLU, although they are useful on occasion.

I got my friend out of the drunk tank last St. Patricks by pretending to be from the ACLU.

Every one on the right hates the ACLU until they need their rights protected then they run to them- see Rush, O'Reilly et el.

Because you accept the help of someone doesn't mean you like them.

If you were being attacked by someone who happened to be black, and the KKK came by and killed that person, they'd be "helping you out," but it doesn't mean you'd be any less revulsed by them afterwards.

I will say, I admire the ACLU's willingness to stand by their principles, even when it involves defending someone who they most likely despise. They're one of the more principled organizations in existance today. I just disagree with many of their principles.

That what is you have to do to get any sense of what is really going on. Everything we get now is so slanted.

Today is better that is was 20 or 30 years ago when you only had a limited amount of news outlets. They gave their version of events, and that was it. The Internet is opening up a whole new world of information. The main stream media can't get away with their spin and lies anymore. Dan Rather's story about President Bush, would have been taken as fact even 10 years ago. We have individuals, doing a better job with the facts.

What better way for a wolf to gain legitimacy than to don sheep's clothing?

Hard news perhaps but don't forget that some of the finest writing and discourse throughout history has been political and it has been biased. I have no problem with commentators and editorialist who express their political slant, in fact I would have a problem if they didn't let it be known. Without bias political discourse would be quite boring. The problem with the leftest media is that they just don't have many people who know how to entertain an audience and the fact that the left has been without message for a long time.

Air America is literally getting a 0.0 in Boston (WKOX, WXKS). Stations with fairly good signals, and there has been publicity in newspapers, TV, and on billboards. While conservative talk stations like WRKO and WTKK get 3.8 and 4.1 per cent of the audience, AAR can't get any ratings at all. Poorly done radio, some are saying. I will admit their Stephanie Miller show isn't bad though I disagree with her politically on many issues.

If a liberal talk radio station can't get a rating in Boston it's time to pack it in. Worst thing about it is it has to be privately funded through donations because it was canceled the first time around, talk about not getting your money's worth on an investment.
