Why is it acceptable to have Fox News hacks like Juan Williams and Maura Liasson bring their ”fair and balanced” talking points to the airwaves we help support? While the wingnuts may well deserve to have their warped perspectives represented, having these hacks with their spout their Fixed Noise line is not appropriate. Williams is an embarrasment and doesn’t deserve this or any or soapbox. NPR: if you want my $$ to support your efforts then clean your house! Faux News contributors are not viable, valid reporters or commentators.</p> Isn’t it time that we progressives who have suffered through endless plege drives and shelled out hard earned money to support NPR ask for an accounting?

The Republicans are framing Obama as an scary black man–as we all knew they would–and it’s working. America may deserve John McCain.</p> This whole episode is extraordinarily sad.

He joined this church BECAUSE of Wright, not in spite of. That puts Obama’s judgement problem in a problematic light.</p> The one differance between your conflict and Obama’s is that he went out of his way to align himself with Wright.
