8. no he's not...
the fukker's entitled only to a good slap - of course, being xian, he'll turn the cheek so we get two whacks outta one entitlement!
i think the idea of freedom of opinion should be suspended for the rightwing boors: humanity is in a fight for its life (imo) and there just aint time to explain to the pig sukkers that the needs of the many must trump the privileges of the few, until further notice. the main point is to castrate the beast which seems to always gain control of the newsmedias and turn people against each other so piggy can wallow in his slops un molested...

15. PLEASE tell me you're kidding. This is pretty damned frightening:
"i think the idea of freedom of opinion should be suspended for the rightwing" -- you ARE kidding, right? If you're not, think about what you're saying.

16. He is indeed
and we're entitled to our reaction. The Constitution only says the government must protect speech. It doesn't say other citizens can't react, or that those who use their freedom shouldn't have to live iwth any consequences.

I'd say this guy could use some consequences!

3. If he wants to waste
his or his company's money that's fine. If they bought the CD then the Chicks got their royalty payment.

6. Some ignorant, small-brained twit from Lawton, Oklahoma.
I lived there for 10 years, until 2004. I am so glad to be out of there. Lots of ignorant bullies and hypocrites

7. That's a good description of Lawton
KLAW represents the ignorant bullies and hypocrites quite well. I've lived here for 19 years. We may have met?

12. I didn't meet too many liberals in Lawton
I went to CU and also worked there until '04. Some of my co-workers hated Bush, but most people I met just thought Bush is brilliant.

I am in CA now and love it.

13. I'm a Cameron grad too
Yes, Liberals here are outnumbered. But we are here, and I know of at least two others that are also DU'rs. I especially like to irritate right wingers at work.

10. Ok - here's what I wrote to him:


David;

Politics aside, I'd invite you to see this:



"In the center of this place on the tenth of May, 1933, Nazi students burned the work hundred of free writers journalists, philosophers, and scientists."

Today, you are no better, David. You're the same exact kind of guy, because you're doing exactly the same thing; you're on the same path, weather you know it or not.

You're destroying records on the air; so you must not agree with that the President is a total, abject failure. Almost three in ten Americans still agree with you.

Most of them must live in Oklahoma; please - you and your listeners....do the rest of the country a favor, and stay there.

You'd destroy that with which you'd disagree, and that makes you a....well, we all know what that makes you.

No, sir; the answer is not, 'a patriot'. It's the opposite.

The quote on the left side of that plaque, roughly, says 'burning books is a heartbeat from burning human beings'.

Think about it this the next time you're tempted to destroy a record on the air:

You sir, are what's wrong with the country; you sir, are as un-American as it gets.


David S. Williams

11. Great e-mail!
Thanks!

What this moron said was he played the song on the air and then promptly destroyed the CD.

Please let us know if he replies?
