Paul Harvey decries Iraqi cockfighting just now
Edited on Thu Dec-04-03 11:48 AM by patsified
to show how backwards their civilization is (and adds that their religion encourages bloodletting, so it's to be expected....)

Has he been to Oklahoma lately?

I'm really sorry I stumbled across this f$ckwit on the radio just now. I'm dizzy from the spin! How do these people stomach their double standards????
:crazy:

I used to think he was a charming old man,

2. Paul Harvey must be ancient by now.
I remeber his noontime radio commentary back in 1960, and he sounded old to me then. Of course all things are relative, and I was a teenager.

7. He's got to be around at least 150
I remember seeing him on TV in the late sixties and early seventies and he looked ancient back then.

3. Harvey should come on down to South Texas this Sunday
maybe even here in Bexar County outside of San Antonio and find out what cockfighting is really about. Tell him to bring a big fistfull of cash too. With the right wagers, he can make a killing.

Orale!

I just heard the Harvey bit......

he actually tagged on the assertion that it was a "bloodthirsty religion" at the end....

WOW!

6. Hmm, I won't name names
but there are places in America where people have cockfights, dance with venemous snakes and drink stricnine (sp?)

8. Shows you how backwards Spain is
still conducting those bullfights. Bad as the pitbull fighting in NYC.

10. He's just doing his job...
Paul Harvey must have received the 'Vilify the Enemy" memo from Rove. This wacko has done this his whole career, spew warm fuzzy news that makes people feel good then throw in "one" piece of propoganda/spin that is so subtle that most people won't even realize it is an opinion...This guy is more dangerous than Rush because he comes across as unassuming, but it works, day after day, molding opinion.

Listen to his show and see if you can find that "one" spin in each broadcast. It's there every day, cleverly hidden, and people fall for it.

11. Despise Harvey
That "everyones" grandfather approach while snikering at anything not main stream. If it isn't conservative, well it must be silly. O'reilly does the same with "most ridiculous item of the day." Pure aardvark shit.
