As expected...

A political cartoon combining 2 recent events (the stimulus and the chimpanzee mauling) is being called racist. Negative coverage of this administration, as often as possible, will be accused of racism. Dissent will be silenced, one way or another. My 2 cents (with the full faith and credit of the U.S. treasury).

Read the New York Times article.

Dissent will be silenced, one way or another.

Dissent won't be silenced, but dissenters will certainly gripe about their dissent being criticised. And, of course, the criticism of dissent will be all the proof that's necessary to confirm the wisdom of the dissent.

So it was, so it is, so it shall forever be. Selah.

Actually the chimps of the world should be offended. They could (strike that) would have produced a better "bailout plan" tha the big O's did.

Can you say "Fairness Doctrine?" It seems that people who truly value our country, our values, and our Constitution come across has having a thicker skin, and get rid of things like the fairness doctrine, and remove other restrictions on free speech.

Talk radio and other conservative outlets beware...

Conservative newspapers and student clubs have been intimidated and persecuted at universities across our nation by people who claim tolerance as the highest virtue.

(But, Tim, I know we've already had a couple of threads on media bias...)

The chimps can do the same thing as the Cavemen do on the Geico commercials

To me this just states that a money wrote the Stimulus Bill? How come an animal just can't be an animal.

The tragic thing is that SOME monkeys CAN read. Our elected leaders voted on this and never even attempted to read it.

You just wait: Before Obama's done he'll have a gag order on Rush Limbaugh and a mandate for no more Obama bashing on the Internet, which will be censured worse than the Internet in China. FoxNews will either stop criticizing Obama or be closed down. We'll not even be allowed to whisper dissent, let alone march on Washington on behalf of conservative values.

Shudders, horrors. It will happen, folks. You just watch it not happen.

Shudders, horrors.

You know Tim.. I believe Obama is going to over reach so far that even you will be agreeing with us more than him in the end.

But wait.. don't you always change your opinions in the end?

[Tim Elston]

You know Tim.. I believe Obama is going to over reach so far that even you will be agreeing with us more than him in the end.

I remember on the former board that became Jude 2 when it was repeatedly said that Bill Clinton was going to declare marshall law in order to take away our freedoms and become a dictator. It didn't happen and it was never about to happen. It was a figment of over-imaginative, partisan paranoia. These claims that Obama is going to become some sort of dictator who sets himself over the Bill of Rights and destroys American liberty are baseless and testimony to credulity of those who believe them.

Did people really say that?

Yes, repeatedly and with conviction, just like this anti-Obama paranoia. It was this kind of talk, specific to Bill Clinton, and taken up by anti-Bush hysteriacs who claimed that W was going to declare marshal law. I suspect that the marshal law claim will become a dread during the Obama presidency at at some point, too. In the mean time, fear, oh, fear, Obama's singlehanded takeover of America by other clever means.

[MacUser]

Tim,
That's crazy. I personally don't think Obama is BIG enough to seriously damage this great American experiment to any great lasting extent. Temporarily make some changes based on ignorance and agenda? Yes... until the silent majority awakens and quickly corrects the direction later.

It's already beginning to happen as in under a month... the shark has already been jumped.
