3. It means that FOX is using Carson's death to further their agenda
Really disgusting if you think about it.

4. Yes
they are trying to make Carson just one of them. Just a sole figurehead for conservatives (not real conservatives), and not the coasts or any other "blue state".

6. Beats me
but I hope Middle America works some of its "magic" against Walmart, which is bankrupting the mom and pop shops on small-town Main Streets.

7. Nothing. Like most of the RW hyperbole, these are meaningless
words and phrases.

12. Does it mean that he brought
People like George Carlin to the closed minds of Right-Wingers without huge smear campaigns being waged against the show?

Is that magical? :shrug:

13. It doesn't mean anything - it alliterates, which TV writers are fond of
It's like *'s coronation speech. Empty rhetoric.

14. If Carson was still on the air
If Johnny was doing the "Tonight Show" today he would be making jokes about Fox's beloved President Bush. I wonder if the mighty righty lackey network would still be loving Carson if that was the case.

15. And he'd be ripping the right-wing Bible thumpers a new one--
Faux are really freaks of nature aren't they? Damn-is there no one they won't try to co-op to promote their "agenda"? Fuck 'em.
