I ..."Democrats should be very Depressed"<br /><br />I can not understand how anyone can claim to be a Democrat. It would have to be one of the most depressing things in life.lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329025378677523718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-78699997668634627772010-10-15T15:22:41.559-04:002010-10-15T15:22:41.559-04:00Linton Weeks and Andrea Seabrook were two NPR staf...Linton Weeks and Andrea Seabrook were two NPR staffers who covered this event.

They can't have signs in their yards, they can't work on political campaigns, they have to be outwardly neutral in all things.<br /><br />It's the life you sign up for. Don't like it?

More press than our coverage of the war in Afghanistan or our investigation of the military's treatment of those suffering from mild traumatic brain injury.<br /><br />Which says to me that this is, in typical Liberal fashion, NPR's attempt to deflect the attention from the real issue to some other thing they've been talking about. Additionally, it comes across as whiny - 'Why are you talking about something that makes us look bad when WE should be setting the tone about what the issue is today?'Van Halenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636153816814457813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-62014837260921948662010-10-14T16:02:02.356-04:002010-10-14T16:02:02.356-04:00Besides the fact that a former politician was at t...Besides the fact that a former politician was at the Restoring Honor rally, I'm curious what about that event NPR found political?

The second is violating their constitutional right to assemble, and could bring up some very sticky legal issues.<br /><br />I doubt their staffers are aware of the difference at this point, but I guess that's what happens when you sign on to be part of the grand Progressive/Socialist movement....Teresa in Fort Worthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936393450842356846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-68735312501866954642010-10-14T14:59:51.244-04:002010-10-14T14:59:51.244-04:00"We didn't get questions from staff about..."We didn't get questions from staff about the Restoring Honor and One Nation rallies, because NPR staff are not interested in Honor or America."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
