Subject: Politcally Incorrect Cancellation

*** Citing concern with possible violation of the FCC "Equal Time"
regulations, Politically Incorrect has rescinded the offer for Dr. Keyes
to appear on their program Thursday, November 4th. His status as a
Republican Candidate for the Presidency has allegedly caused concerns with
their legal department.


If you feel as strongly as we do about the abrupt cancellation of Amb.
Keyes' appearance, we would encourage you to let your voice be heard.
In these days of so many alternative forms of communication, it is our
duty as active citizens of a free Republic to make use of them in the
expression of our views.


Please be courteous, polite and unassuming. Though their concern may or
may not be justified, it would be of great value for them to see the
interest that really is out there for coverage of this remarkable
candidate and statesman.

Shocked, SHOCKED I am that ABC would cancel the appearance of a man who could shut whiny-ass Bill Maher up for good... a man who exemplifies the "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions" mindset... a man who tells it like it is.

Grumble, mutter...

Naaahhh. Not this time. I think justice would be better served by your efforts, DC. Best of wishes to you, but:

1. It will let me get to bed at a decent time.

2. It will save Ambassador Keyes the agrevation of wasting his time trying to convince a limp wristed sorry excuse for a commedian how to think like a man.

Good night friend. Its getting late. :D

Equal time regs my butt. There's no prohibition on a show letting any single candidate speak his mind to the exclusion of others, IINM. That's just speech. Bigtime smokescreen.
 
Next to our chubby girlfriend Rosie, Bill Maher raises my blood pressure to dangerous levels.
During the impeachment period, he did everything he could to cottle and defend Clinton, by besmirching dead presidents and noble men, saying they all have done the same things Billy has.
I don't even watch the 2 minute highlights in the morning my local station carries of the show.
Actually the show is pointless. Its all liberal is good, all conservative beliefs bad.
Who needs the aggravation?
 
This isn't germaine to RKBA, but that worthless A-Hole has gone WAY over the line in making jokes about Ronald Reagan's Alzheimer's disease. In my ever-so-humble opinion, ABC should sever and deliver Bill Maher's addled head to everybody whose lives have been devastated by this horrible disease. Is this any better than if he had uttered the "N" word with respect to our friend Mr. Keyes? That surely would have gotten him fired on the spot.

P.S. I got the same result as Jones. "My 2 cents worth does not exist." There is a message board, however, at this address regarding Politically Incorrect, and I put my 2 cents worth there:

Here's a newsclip from Conservative News Service from today:

Maher Takes Another Jab at Reagan

(CNSNews.com) -A joke by the host of a national television about former President Ronald Reagan's bout with Alzheimer's Disease has an Alzheimer's Association chapter and the former president's oldest son angry. According to a transcript of Wednesday's broadcast of the "Politically Incorrect" program broadcast by ABC television, host Bill Maher said, "President
Clinton's approval rating, 57 percent, one of the highest ever for a second-termer. That just came out today. People made big news of this because it was higher than Ronald Reagan's approval rating in his second term. It was only 52 percent, so Clinton, higher than Reagan. Another big difference between Reagan and Clinton, Clinton wets other people's clothing." The Alzheimer's Association, Greater Washington Chapter found the joke to be in poor taste. Karen Lubieniecki, a spokesperson for the Association chapter told CNSNews.com, "Alzheimer's is a serious disease that takes a terrible toll on the person with the disease and the people who care for them."

I posted a slightly politically incorrect message on the ABC/Late Night message board regarding Mr. Keyes, and it was edited off the message board. There was no profanity whatsoever. I just suggested that Alan Keyes wasn't milk toast enought for Mr. Maher. Guess I must have crossed the line.
