Excerpt: "It was my friend that spilled the glass of wine on Tanya [Beck] - and I can assure you that it was a complete accident.... Incidentally, none of us have made a career of 'spewing hate' on the radio, or any other media platform.... We don't taunt Glen, or his family. And we certainly don't waste our wine, even on Tanya."

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

Beck and his ilk have annihilated reasoned political discussion, showering us with ongoing fear, lies, and hatred.
And hateful, rude New Yorkers cast a cloud over the many wonderful New Yorkers I've met and know.
Creeps.
"Knock it off, just be cool, " instead of passing on your hateful diatribes.
IF HE LIVED IN NAZI GERMANY, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HITLER'S DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS.

Now, what was it you were saying about the "Hitler/Nazi comparison"??
Do you know what the money changers in the temple called Jesus when He turned over their tables?
Answer: A Liberal
(which is what He was)
Newsflash: It's the hard working people who aren't being compensated. The gap between the poor/middle class and the rich grows wider all the time.
My guess is that Lindsey ain't as innocent as she claims to be.
Besides the point ....I read Beck, Maddow ,Rush, NY times etc....when I remove them from my decision making process I begin to think more clearly and make more rational decisions about what I want in my life.These people are experts at fomenting...both sides of the isle and in the end i see bad in good people and am left to wonder how in the hell I am going to live.
Examine your own life, do only those things you yourself could have done to you and be able to get thru any thing without further hate and you might be happy.
In the end those that start the riot fall.
If "john" were truly the open minded, unbiased purveyor of news that he claims to be, he would never have posted such "both sides do it" tripe.
Interesting you should mention handouts from the government. Big Business has been getting them from the federal and state governments for years! What do you call not paying your employees a living wage and not giving them decent healthcare (even though they work a 40+ hour week)? These people cannot support their families on the pittance they are paid - then HAVE to apply for Medicaid or other govt. assistance...
These businesses deliberately pay such low wages to their employees because they know the government will pick up the tab for medical and food assistance. AND if that wasn't bad enough, businesses don't have to pay taxes on all that profit they are making. If they at least paid their FAIR SHARE the government could afford to take care of their employees for them. The oldest (profit-making/taking) trick in the book.
Pay people a living wage, give them access to decent healthcare and you will see this country (and economy) turn around in a heartbeat - and see a record number of people off Welfare, Medicaid and Food Assistance.
It just SEEMS to your paranoid, right-wing mind that the main stream media favors the left (why would they? Broadcasters are Big Business as are their advertisers) or that they spew hate. Harry Truman said, “I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell.” Likewise, the truth is so far removed from the right’s deranged fantasies that they just THINK it’s hate and lies. NPR is hardly a bastion of the left. In fact, they have bent so far backward to give the right a voice that I find it amusing they are getting kicked in the teeth by the right for their troubles (I’m no fan of NPR; they were a major force in suppressing LPFM, and they have destroyed the local aspects of public radio). And propping up scary straw men of non-working liberals who want your job and then pushing them down is scarcely persuasive, either. Every liberal I know is hard-working, except one or two who are out of work and actively seeking employment (no easy task thanks to the shambles Bush made of our economy), and donate valuable time to causes such as Remote Area Medical, the Red Cross and others. Conservatives believe “Greed is good.”
Where would any of these goofballs be without promoting hate?
