Re: Gasp! For broadcast media, patriotism pays

>>I am infuriated that these talk hosts and war shills continue to question my integrity as an American because I refuse to support this war or support Bush. Dissent is a basic First Amendment right. Have we learned nothing from our history? Have we learned nothing about the damn constitution?<<

We went through this 50 years ago too, when it was, to all intents and purposes, against the law to be a socialist, a communist or a liberal.  We regularly confused dissent with disloyalty.  I thought we had learned to be ashamed of those years, but it appears that the several generations between then and now failed to either study that period or learn its lessons...and history, I fear, is doomed to repeat itself.
