POPS Barack’s Junior Brownshirts Are Everywhere Whoever stamped ”DENIED” across my document clearly felt justified in defacing it. Though petty, this was a hostile act - another tiny blow in the insidious war on free thought. … Instead of gossiping at the water cooler, today’s privileged jugend hover in packs around TV monitors to mock the usual suspects - poor old Sarah Palin, the Tea Partiers, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Miss California (chivalry is deader than dead). Together, they telegraph their warning to anyone who might disagree: don’t. … Twenty-somethings are fond of declaring, “It’s a free country!” But is it? Really? hese kids - who see nothing odd about surrounding themselves with creepy, halo’d icons of The One - mock folks who actually make the effort to exercise their right to free speech on talk radio, at Tea Parties, and at workplace printers. They think this double standard is perfectly normal.

POPS'Nazi' Pope Runs 'Child-Abusing Cult,' says HBO's Maher I am no Catholic...or defender of Imus or Pat Robertson or the LDS; but why does this hateful man's remarks not receive the condemnation that they deserve? There seems to be selective outrage within our society. He appears to have his own brand of 'cult' thinking that he spreads with impunity.

POPSThe cycle of indoctrinating hate
"I wonder if it's ever occurred to Obama and Wright that it probably doesn't help young people in the black community when they're told that their country hates them, that the U.S. government gave them drugs and AIDS, and that jail and genocide are the officially-sanctioned plan for them." "The government gives them drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America,'" shouted Wright at his congregation. "No, no, no. God damn America. That's in the Bible, for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme." "I wonder if Obama ever considered the negative impact on young blacks from listening to these hateful and anti-white tirades. It's not as if Obama is blind to the influence of hate speech. When Don Imus made one careless remark about black female athletes, Obama was among the first to call for his firing."

POPSPolitical Endorsements by U.S. Troops Surprising, considering all the earlier religious indoctrination pushed by the right wing. They're seeing through the lies of the administration and they're growing up fast.

POPSBill O'Reilly Must Go!! This is not a matter of free speech. This is the matter of a well known, extremely popular and influential media maven, who is suggesting that if Michelle Obama actually has some negative feelings about the country, she should be lynched. Don Imus was thrown off the air for referring to a women's basketball team as "nappy headed ho's." David Schumer, a well respected and generally fair-minded journalist was suspended for suggesting employing a poor choice of words regarding Chelsea Clinton's participation in her mom's presidential primary campaign. But Bill O'Reilly, for some reason has been declared untouchable by Fox News after making this hateful and racist comment, not the first time I might add that he has used similar inflammatory language. It is time for the public to demand that O'Reilly be held accountable for his irresponsible and hateful speech. Please call or email Fox and demand his removal from our airwaves.

POPSWho Hijacked The Primaries And What We MUST Do! This is our party, not John McCain’s or Mel Martinez's, or Lindsay Graham’s. The Republican Party is THE conservative party dammit. Let’s admit it and take it back. RINOS and Liberals have taken the GOP plane hostage, and its time for us passengers to revolt…and do what has to be done -- "Let’s Roll" Sadly these 4 states have done more than set the tone for the other 46 -- they’ve dictated terms. Frankly I could extend the analogy to include Nevada, which is down to about 13% native -- but why beat a dead horse. What we have is the sick and twisted dreams of Pinch Sulzberger, Don Imus, Maureen Dowd, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews come true: the GOP has been forced to choose a nominee designed to cause the base to retch, and thereby not vote. Guaranteeing 4 years of Clinton score settling or Obama socializing entire corporate sectors

POPSNotes on a (bunch of) Scandals This seems to represent one of the most perplexing American of phenomena. Our tolerance of serial idiots. Why is it that we invite them back? Why is it so hard to ruin your reputation? I don't believe the author is write, regurgitating the hackneyed "short attention span" argument. Something way more complicated is going on than that. Perhaps we let them come back because we secretly want more. More of the easy, mindless answers they give us. More of the distracting scandal that makes us feel better about ourselves. The author ignores the 700 lbs. Gorilla in the "train wreck" room: George W. Bush. After all his failures and deceptions, why do people still trust him? Do we really run from the truth? Or is it that watching their failures verifies our own righteousness? Nader said it best: he would rather see Bush president than Gore, because Bush would prove him right.

POPSDon Imus - a new television home: RFD-TV. The radio personality, who returns to the airwaves Dec. 3 on WABC-AM, will debut the same day on the seven-year-old cable and satellite television station that caters to viewers with homes on the range, the Rural Media Group, Inc., announced Wednesday.

POPSImus Return Confirmed - WABC N.Y. Well, Ron Kuby, you weren't a civil rights lawyer there. You were a radio personality. And guess who is better.Sorry. And he didn't take YOUR job. YOUR job is now defunct. Imus does a different job. Now, if Imus will keep the politics,the interviews, a bit of satire, but lose the shock(offensive) style schtick, step up the intelligent part and ease off on the sophomoric part, he'll be able to grow "old" gracefully,and fill a gap in morning radio. Later get a station in D.C. and maybe more markets later, it'll be good.

POPSThe Rush you like to hush You see anyone within radio frequency, or satellite reception NOW, Muslim (Iraqi, Sunni, Shite, Kurd, Al Queda, Japanese, South Korean, German, where ever we have military bases, occupiers, or troops (take your pick) will either be insulted by, entertained by, amused by, thrilled by, or discusted by Rush’s white supremacist (ala Imus) attitude, or will use his NEOCON Crusader diatribes and rants for their own terrorists successful recruiting efforts (compared to our own). By just translating what Rush says into their native language, and downloading vintage footage of Rush on TV, or cartoons of Rush, the epitome (stereotype) of what a fist waving, NEO-FASCISTS looks like and BOOM one has the best Terrorist recruiting poster and related material one needs bar none.

POPSJonathan Lee Riches© v. Tiger Woods The inmate who sued Michal Vick for 63 billion dollars has now sued Tiger Woods. This same inmate has sued Don Imus, Elvis, Wal-Mart, LeBron James, Barry Bonds, and Larry King. These lawsuits are very funny.

POPSTucker Carlson, Enraged by flirtation... HUH?
This is so typical of Tucker. His 'Locker Room' mentality permeates throughout his whole show. Tell me, "Why the hell did they throw, Phil Donahue off and put the likes of this immature idiot on?" Could it possibly be, that the average viewer of MSNumbedBC has the same EQ (emotional intelligence) as the likes of Tucker? If they would rather watch Carlson's banal rhetoric than spend an hour of intelligent conversations and great knowledge brought forth by someone like Phil, I guess we all know the answer to that question. Yet, this sometime bow-tied, sometime neck-tied schmuck should at least, keep his spew non-violent. When he crosses the line of civility and advocates on-the-air, that gays who go into men's rest-rooms should be battered if they are construed to look at you cross-eyed, then, even those who somehow enjoy his clownish conduct should object! THEY THREW DON IMUS UNDER THE BUS FOR LESS THAN THAT, at least Imus, was just an obnoxious clod and didn't champion brutality!
