#1 Life is not fair and you sir are not balanced.

#2 There is certainly no fairness in ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, or the MSM print media. This media was all in the bag for Obama. They are about as close as you can get to Joseph Goebbels propaganda machine in Nazi Germany or Pravda in the USSR. You (Schumer) sir are a dangerous whacko who does not believe in the First or Second Amendments of our Constitution.

#3 Looks like we are going to default on our own access to the internet. Most important news day in years, but both Little Green Footballs and Free Republic are so buggy today as to be useless. This seems to be a chronic problem with conservative sites, while lib sites have no such problems. Unlimited funding from Soros and the Google tycoons is the likely reason*, but we cannot afford to lose the net to the totalitarian monopoly that is on its way to owning all other channels of communication.

*If I wanted go tinfoil I would suggest that the moonbats who infest the provider industry are engaged in a little freelance blocking.

#4 Only the NY City crowd could put up with an idiot like Charles Schumer. The United States shouldn't have to. Schumer should have been aboard that Delta flight to Atlanta - in the baggage compartment.

#5 This will be a massive overreach by Chucky and the dems. Nothing will galvanize the republican base like this action.

#6 And card check is going to galvanize business. Who do you think has more money Chucky, your labor union buddies or the hundreds of thousands of businesses out there. Think the lawyers have more? Don't count on it.

#7 Chuck is a dirtbag and inherently unlikeable guy. Time to start collecting the hubristic overreach videos for the 2010 elections and build the case against these incompetent wanna-be brownshirts

#8 Fuck Schumer. I'll be waiting for his response.
See. Fairness...

#9 Obama with a rubber stamp congress is like giving an alcoholic the keys to a distillery. They'll give in to their most base tendencies. Now all will be able to see the true nature of the democrat party.

Democrats: Be careful what you wish for.

#10 I guess this means there will two newscasts, newspapers, Social "Sciences" departments, and Branson becomes the Hollywood Middle America. Bring it on.

#11 If your local affiliate gets fed up and drops Rush (seems inconceivable, but hey...) use Senator Schumer's office number for Open Line Friday.

#12 I just might invest in XM/Sirius. If tehy adopt this, we'll all be getting our unbiased news from unofficial O-sources
