time to go

Add Charles Krauthammer to the list of GOP mouthpieces who ought to be boycotted*. He's a fellow traveller on the Republican's road to asshattery, still talking about Barack Obama's "connections" as if John McCain was the leader of a boy's choir.
The [Rev. Wright] ad was duly denounced by The New York Times and other deep thinkers as racist. This was patently absurd. Racism is treating people differently and invidiously on the basis of race. Had any white presidential candidate had a close 20-year association with a white preacher overtly spreading race hatred from the pulpit, that candidate would have been not just universally denounced and deemed unfit for office but written out of polite society entirely.
Excuse me?!
Francis Schaeffer? Bob Jones University? John Hagee? Bobby May?
I've never cared much for Krauthammer, but really, isnt it time to get these butt-puppets for the conspiracy that is the Republican party out of their comfy spots in the nation's media? Let's put'em someplace where they can spout all they want, but I wont have to see their bullshit when I open a paper.

* Why not? If conservatives can call for boycotts because they dont like the message, why cant the rest of us?

Boycotts don't work. I think it's time to call for measures that involve the surgical removal of vocal cords.

Fantastic rant Dave!

I do not read nor pay attention to these asshats. But that probably isn't a good thing since I only hear about their racist, fascist horseshit from fellow bloggers.

Socialists knew how to take care of these types of jerkwads...either life in a gulag prison or a frontal lobotomy. Their choice of course. ;p

Well, it's a free country, and I certainly dont want to take away their right to spout idiotic nonsense. I would like to not see my money go towards their paychecks, though.
Oh, wait...
I dont buy newspapers any more do I? Could this have anything to do with it?

Hmmmmm...
