What dodge? I answered your question in full when I put in bold, until he did the deed.

Being a salesman is nice, but salesmen live on expense accounts and hold phones all day and dont get their hands dirty in defending, building or helping their country.

I take it you mean Jeremy Glick.

A guy telling an idiot to shut up doesn’t really compare to making vulgar comparisons of the president to female genitalia?!? You’ve got to be joking.

Why am I joking?

One was an obviously comic comparison, a play on words if you will.

The other was threatening behaviour in person because Jeremy disagreed with his viewpoint..

Bill clearly trumps Whoopi hands down.

There are one or two big ones there, yeah, but not for engaging lots of bad guys single-handedly. I had brothers in arms where, I suspect, you'd find yourself deserted by your countrymen...

Sorry mate. But British soldiers dont desert each other, nor do American soldiers for that matter FYI.

In the interests of the Mods Ive decided to halt this slagging match, though I was enjoying it - a pity.

But Im always up for formal debate on the subject of Walts.

What threatening behavior, take off your microphone and get off my set??? Ohhh scary.

Whoopi wasn’t trying to be funny, she was trying to be crass; and she was exceedingly successful. She ended up looking like whiney gutter-trash. Bill was understandably angry with a son defending his father’s murderers. There’s no comparison.

The only major difference between extreme left-wing and extreme right-wing vitriol is that more people actually buy it coming from the right. It may be as difficult to find left-wing talk radio as it is to find right-wing day-time talk shows, but there are at least as many left-wing media whores as there are right-wing. Have you ever listened to any of the interviews with Hollywood elitists like Alec Baldwin;



How about Whoopi Goldberg, she has a TV show;




You can whine all you want about right-wingers, but you have ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIBILITY when you say left-wing examples are hard to come by. So far, the biggest difference is that the right-wingers aren't running for office.
There is a big difference between saying the president is an idiot, and saying you think we should go kill, conquer and destroy those who we disagree with. Coulter and Limbaugh's words make any other hack pale by comparision. Like I said you're ignoring reality.

Also the fact you can't find as many liberal hacks out there, and that they get less media play IS THE FRIGGIN POINT!

Well I refer to the story about Jeremy being advised to leave cos Bill was gonna come get him, but ok whatever..

Do you recognise this difference between whoopi's verbal jest, however crass you may think it, and the 'shut up...get off my set...cut his mike' and the actual daring to psuedo-represent the views of Glicks dead father and his living mother of a guest that he had actually invited on?

which situation would make you feel like killing? The jest about Bush, using the term bush, or the 'get off my set', your father this, your mother that..?

any sensible person would easily go with the latter.

Anyway, to say that J Glick defended his father's murderers is a wild distortion told by the right to hide from the issues.

No, I still think you’re quite wrong. Killing our enemies during a war, while isn’t exactly a good thing, it is necessary. The faster it’s done, the better off we are. Calling your political rival countrymen “dicks”, on the other hand is totally unnecessary.

As I said, you can find at least as many liberal hacks. If there’s blame to be placed, it’s with the general public, whose more interested in hearing from the right-wingers than the left. If people actually wanted to hear from left-wing idiots, you wouldn’t be able to get away from them. The fact that they are by and large commercially unviable is the result of Americans exercising their pesky freedom of choice.
