1. That right winger was off his meds

Haven't heard anyone that hysterical on Thom's show since the last time Whoreowitz was on.

2. Since I've had FSTV, I've become addicted to Thom's show.

The morning is best because it's Amy, Laura Flanders and then Thom right in a row. These guys are screwing up my p-time. :)

3. Wow, that guy is a complete asshole!

No wonder he's with the Bizarro version of the ACLU. (I had never actually heard of them before this) He kept repeating the same thing over and over, just like the RW playbook says.

Thom rightfully disagreed with his basic premise but that didn't stop him from being an insulting dickhead.

"Corporations are collections of people, blah blah blah..."

Thom would stop him and say the Constitution protects the rights of people or persons, not collections of people or corporations. This didn't stop him from continuing as if the bullshit he was spewing was a universal truth found in nature, like the number Pi.

Thom, I applaud you for keeping your cool (for the most part) and trying to have a logical conversation. Unfortunately, in keeping with the vampire theme, logic is like garlic or holy water to them.

4. Actually it won't limit speech, they have to keep the game going so congress members actually...

need the money to be elected. If they're not competing for power the money will have no meaning. So coporations have to allow us free speech at the very least, which is something. In that capacity there is a chance to pull it back.

5. That was a shocking and despicable thing for anyone to say.

But, I also think that many conservatives actually feel that way. Just look at Fox News' response (ie, lack of coverage) to the Haiti earthquake.

6. K&R. Guest's epic fail with his "you don't know about the topic" approach

guess he didn't bother to check and find out that he was going on the show of the author of "Unequal Protection."
