This is where I wonder about free speech for people like Glen Beck. These people (Limbaugh, Hannity, but worse Beck, O'reilly) prey upon people's fears and stoke them. At what point does that become irresponsible to the point of ban? We ban hate speech. You can't yell fire in a movie theater. At what point does some of this stuff become dangerous? Swine flu is because of illegal immigration?? I mean you couldn't make that up - if you did nobody would believe you, but there it is right on Fox "News" (the news you choose when you don't want news). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:296362 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
