ABC PAYS FOR THIS, AND NBC’S TODAY THINKS IT’S FUNNY
BILL MAHER JOKES THAT AMERICA HOPED O.J. KILLED KATHERINE HARRIS

    Last night on ABC’s Politically Incorrect, host Bill Maher made an outrageous joke about hoping for the death of Florida’s Republican Secretary of State Katherine Harris. This morning, a report by correspondent George Lewis on NBC’s Today replayed the "joke" for their viewers without any critical comment:

    "Now earlier today, a rental truck carried a half a million ballots from Palm Beach to the Florida Supreme Court there in Tallahassee. CNN had live helicopter coverage from the truck making its way up the Florida highway, and for a few brief moments, America held the hope that O.J. Simpson had murdered Katherine Harris."

The liberal entertainment industry advocates violence against conservatives through the mediums you pay for. (Let's not forget, Alec Baldwin said Ken Starr and his family should be stoned to death. Rosie O'Donnell spews hatred for conservatives.) They only have money and power because YOU give it to them. You bring this to your own plate by allowing this to happen. This can be stopped by taking away their power. Don't participate in their hate mongering. Don't watch their TV programs, (NBC, ABC, CBS etc.) Don't go to see their movies. Don't rent the videos. Don't buy or listen to their music. Don't visit their web sites. Don't buy their newspapers. Don't buy their after market products and don't support any industry that supports them. Do all of that and they will go away, broke hopefully. Stopping this is up to you.

Relax Bob. It is just a lame joke. Although I think the word lame should be stressed, in your case the word joke should be stressed.

In your case the word Ass-hole should be stressed...

Bob, that's what is wrong with America today, too much stress.

Dr. Pibb,

If Rush Limbaugh had made the same joke with Florida's Judge Lee as the target would it have been just lame or would the midnight oil be burning at the justice department?

On the other hand: Did the Justice Department get upset when Good Ol' Boy Jesse Helms made his comment that, if the President (THE President, not one of the two current wannabes or an Ambassador wannabe) went to North Carolina, he'd better watch out? (Actually, that's a semi-question -- did they get upset? I think I can assume that the Secret Service didn't care too much for it...)

Bill and Katherine down for the count?

No way. That would put you two up on us.
