Attack a dead woman because she's Liberal

[RedSox02]

No surprise here, but someone couldn't resist "exposing" the late Joan Kroc after her massive donation to NPR. It must be pointed out that she is a Liberal. Heaven forbid.

1. Brent Bozell.

Scumbag. Wonder if he would like to discuss HIS finances and contributors?

I didn't think so...

2. Bozell just has his underpants in a twist because...

...he didn't get the cash for his scurvy little operations. Twist those BVDs, Bozie Boy!

L. Brent Bozell and the Media Research Center



L. Brent Bozell III calls himself "one of the most outspoken and effective national leaders in the conservative movement today."

Bozell is founder and chairman of the board of the Media Research Center, "the largest media watchdog organization in America." The MRC was founded in 1987. His books include "And That's the Way It Isn't: A Reference Guide to Media Bias"; "Pattern of Deception: The Media's Role in the Clinton Presidency"; "How to Identify, Expose and Correct Liberal Media Bias"; and "Out of Focus: Network Television and the American Economy." Bozell is also founder and chairman of the Parents Television Council, "the only Hollywood-based organization dedicated to restoring responsibility to the entertainment industry." Bozell is a nephew of conservative icon William F. Buckley Jr. and the son of L. Brent Bozell Jr., who co-wrote "The Conscience of a Conservative" with Barry Goldwater.

In 1998, Bozell launched the Conservative Communications Center (C3) and its online news division, Conservative News Service, now Cybercast News Service. CNSNews.com "specializes in covering news stories the major networks seem to be omitting," which in practice has meant an emphasis on stories that appeal to conservatives and criticize liberals. The mission of C3 is "to provide the conservative movement with the marketing and public relations tools necessary to proactively deliver its message into the 21st century." In 1995, Bozell founded the Parents Television Council, a watchdog group that aims to "bring America’s demand for positive, family-oriented television programming to the entertainment industry."

Bozell also serves as executive director of the Conservative Victory Committee, an "independent multi-candidate political action committee" whose goal is to help elect conservative candidates to office. He has also served as national finance chairman for the Pat Buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign and finance director and president of the National Conservative Political Action Committee. He also writes a syndicated column, which is reproduced on the MRC web site.

Bozell is also a member of the Council for National Policy, a secretive group described as a congregation of "the Right's Washington operatives and politicians, its financiers, and its hard-core religious arm."

The Media Research Center, headquartered in Alexandria, Va., bills itself as "a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research and education foundation"; donations are tax-deductible. The MRC is a steady recipient of donations from conservative-oriented foundations. In 1996, its operating budget was just under $4 million; in 2000, it was $15 million.

4. Only a Republican could think "Mommy Peacebucks" is an insult.

5. Uh, YEAH!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO? Why on earth would they think she was anything else? Damn they're dumb!

RUPERT*fucking*MURDOCH owns the damn airwaves...where's their complaint about that? :mad: :nuke:

6. One thing I will never understand,

why would anyone think supporting peace & non-violence is a bad thing????

[Cocoa]

10. I remember my parents explaining the Vietnam protests to me

I was confused why the president, Nixon, wasn't on the side of the protestors. :-)

11. All Totalitarians rely on war and brutality as methods of control

The Busheviks are no different, and as their lies are more strongly exposed, or their unchecked control increased, so will their brutality.

It's inevitable.

7. "Her massive favoritism toward NPR ..."

So when somebody supports public radio that is called "massive favoritism" but to watch Fox is being fair and balanced.

It almost as if we're not supposed to be allowed to decide how to spend our money or out time, and if we do, we're just playing favorites.

I suppose since she was a millionaire, she was supposed to give her money equally to all sides. How many rich folk do you know who do that?

[sable302]

8. and, oh, jeeeeez

"What did NPR do with its Kroc gift? They quickly announced they're putting $175 million in trust, and then just drawing on the interest payments of about $10 million a year. That's not taxpayer relief. That's not pledge-drive relief. It's hoarding."

A conservative railing against money hoarding!! What is ths world coming to?

I was under the impression that NPR got it's hundred million a year from member station dues and from selling programming abroad. He thinks that NPR gets 100 million from the taxpayers year after year??? Give me a break. How ignorant is that!

12. so why isn't our "librul media" holding this up as an example of

the shameless, disgusting partisan tactics of the right-wing?

Somehow these guys are able to say any horrible, hateful thing they want and they get lauded and applauded.

Ann Coulter being the most egregious example.

Somebody needs to start punching these fuckers in the mouth.

We need some blood to fly.
