John Edwards – son of a rendering-plant vat-hauler (or whatever it was he said his dad did)-become-supremely successful trial lawyer, with a carbon footprint the size of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s feet and recipient of haircuts that cost more than all but two of the cars I’ve ever owned – is oppressed!<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to fight back against these people. We can\u2019t let them do this kind of stuff to us. And they\u2019re always going to be very powerful forces that don\u2019t want us to hear my voice, and the voices of those like not just me, the voices of those like us.<\/p>\n

They want to shut all of us up, Ed. That\u2019s what this is all about. I\u2019m amazed you\u2019re still able to talk on the radio. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Um, Silkypony?\u00a0 Senator Edwards?\u00a0 Not only has nobody, anywhere, ever<\/em>, discussed shutting down “progressive” talk radio (other than for non-payment of bills<\/a>), in fact I think that it might almost be worth keeping some form of libtalk alive and kicking; it gives people like you a forum on which to embarass themselves.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the huge cabal of right-wingers that supports conservative\u00a0talk radio against the wishes of the American people should pony up a few bucks to keep lame-o-zoids like Schultz, Stephanie “Like Laura Ingraham, Only A Lefty” Miller and some of the FrankenNet<\/strike> Air America hacks on the air, under the guise of “giving them enough rope”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
