free speech? for who?

i'm mad as hell and i must spew a rant about it right now:

what is freedom of speech?

should it be filtered? approved? what if you wanted to be President of the United States and someone forced you to SHUT UP because they didn't think you could win? at last nite's democratic debate in Las Vegas, MSNBC successfully banned presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich from participating.

News items: MSNBC, NYTimes, LasVegasSun, YaHoo, BestSyndy, LATimes, Wonk'd view, a Huff post

a lawyer for NBC Universal said:

"Mr. Kucinich's claim ... undermines the wide journalistic freedoms enjoyed by news organizations under the First Amendment"

who is protecting the first amendment here? NBC? keeping Dennis Kucinich out of this broadcast gave us a "safe debate". all nice and kissy-kissy. no real bickering. basically, NO DIFFERENCES AT ALL!!! is this what America needs? three versions of the same "change" (notice use of buzz word). Obama, Clinton, and Edwards are essentially 3 shades of the same color. they are almost the same person. and they are usually fighting like spoiled little children while Kucinich talks about real issues. kinda like this:

i thought the democrats were a party. not a committee. having only 3 candidates gives us a committee. it is irrelevant whether or not Dennis Kucinich "can" win the nomination or the general election. its not up to NBC to decide that. it is supposed to be a decision made by the voters. there has only been a small number of delegates won so far. it is still conceivable that Kucinich could get the nomination. if this was a golf game, only the top three players would get to play beyond the first round.

maybe some people wonder if corporations really are taking over our country. this is a perfect example of what can happen. NBC Universal, General Electric (owns NBC) and MicroSoft and all of their sponsors for tonite's debate and THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY have suppressed free speech. for real. it happened. just look at the whole thing objectively and it couldn't be more clear. those corporations decided own their own that Dennis Kucinich shouldn't have a voice in this debate. Kucinich's message is fervently anti-war and anti-nuclear. THAT doesn't jive with the GE agenda!!

hey Keith-O, here are some nominations for your WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD:

NBC Universal
Democratic Party
Nevada Supreme Court

hands down winner..... NBC


the democrats are supposed to be looking out for the people. unless you live in Michigan. their boycott of the michigan primaries is a big DISS to the people who live there. it tells them that they don't count. it lets barack-hillary-john skip the difficult issues in michigan. again they played it safe.

how many ways can the democrats screw this up? the past two presidential elections were complete screw-ups by dems. Al Gore "lost" because he wouldn't take help from Bill Clinton (still the most popular democrat around). then John Kerry had to go easy on criticizing DUBYA, "the worst president in history". that's pathetic. as for Congress, the dems are in control in theory only. i think voters had different expectations about "action" when they voted in the mid-year elections. and it seems the dems aren't paying attention. now the dems are ignoring entire states and suppressing different views within its own party. these mistakes just add to the long list of ways to lose another presidential election.
