You can't read, can you? You're functionally illiterate.You get burned by your own post and quickly pivot.Yeah. I suppose at all those meetings with the White House they were just exchanging recipes, huh?From your post which I was replying to.
"it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates."
You're a regular Ballerina.
Then don't go to their website. Simple, really.Tax exemption has nothing to do with this thread.
But Media Matters is still a Fraud
That's not for you to decide. Your little butthurt tantrums are meaningless.Tax exemption has nothing to do with this thread.
Why not. How are they even paying for their adds? Are Their Propaganda Adds taxed in any way? What does Rush Pay for Advertizing? Is it Taxed? How is that Equal, Moron?
Because this is a thread about pressure on radio stations to stop carrying the Rush Limbaugh Show, that's why.
It's not about wingnut hissy fits over MM's tax status.
You're not going to succeed...unless you get the government involved. Like you'd like to.Are you saying that he has a right to have a radio show broadcast over the public airwaves?
He has the right to his freedom of speech.... if someone wants to give him a 50,000 watt blow torch to do it.... thats THEIR right.
Exactly. We are trying to convince them to take away his 50,000 watt blowtorch.
Freedom of speech. What's the problem?
Don't forget DailyKos, MoveOn.org, Color Of Change, Credo, Ultra Violet, FreePress.net, Firedoglake, United Republic, Democracy Fund, Democracy For America, Bold Progressives, Consumer Union Action Fund, and Crooks & Liars.Then don't go to their website. Simple, really.
If we're looking for a far-leftist ultra-biased spin on a topic, it's one of the best sources....
Are you saying that he has a right to have a radio show broadcast over the public airwaves?
As long as he has an audience, that is willing to support him, yes. He is the King of Talk Radio. You don't like it? Eat Shit. You use the Government to arbitrarily shut him down, We see it as an Attack on Our Liberty. So Fuck Off. I don't tell you who or what to listen to. I won't stoop that low, Maggot. How dare you presume to think you know what is best for our interest, your mind may well be jello, mine ain't. Don't include me in your false Utopian nightmare. I'm not interested in playing.
I just read the rest of this post. You're unhinged.
We're using the Government to shut him down?
It's an attack on your liberty to be deprived of your daily 3 hour dose of hate speech?
I don't give a flying fuck what you want or what you think is in your best interest. I want him off the public airwaves. I will continue that effort, as will millions more.
You obviously don't have Clue #1 what a Right is, in The United States Of America.As long as he has an audience, that is willing to support him, yes. He is the King of Talk Radio. You don't like it? Eat Shit. You use the Government to arbitrarily shut him down, We see it as an Attack on Our Liberty. So Fuck Off. I don't tell you who or what to listen to. I won't stoop that low, Maggot.

Perhaps you can point out this Right in the Constitution that wingnuts claim to love.
I'll tell you what a Right is not, Ass Hat. An Entitlement. You contribute to Knocking Rush off the Air because of your Bias of what you have no control over, and I will make it My Mission to Target Anything and Everything connected to the Campaign, Scum Bucket. You think it okay to dictate to me what my Rights are, while censoring my Interests? You do not understand cause and effect. Don't piss yourself, it won't save you from the consequences of your actions. Times are changing, people know when they are being fleeced and manipulated. The Free Ride is soon enough out of reach.
Then you admit the left are hypocrites.It's only festering. It hasn't started to ooze yet.Should you decide to target Blowhard's, you might start with thew Networks.
Meanwhile, explain why Media Matters is Tax Exempt again? Try to leave out the Double Speak.
My friend is not interested in the hypocrisy oozing from the left.
Of course you don't. You don't care when leftist organizations break the law. Furthermore, you LOVE it when leftist organizations advance their agenda using tax dollars.No, I just don't care about their tax status.I don't care.
That's why.
Because you are a disingenuous dishonest hack, slime ball that you are. The fact that you don't care or even want to know about the depth of corruption and Hypocrisy, is evidence of your stupidity. Sellout that you are.
And that shows the left's intentions.If it is, I'm sure there's a laundry list of Leftist Pastors that should have theirs pulled too. Reverend Wright... white courtesy phone.. Reverend Wright.... white courtesy phone.No, I just don't care about their tax status.
Do you care about Dennis Terry's tax status? Do you want it removed?
Personally I have no Problem at all with Religious Organizations having voice, whether I support the message or not. Wright does represent a Church, Legitimately. I am against Censorship. Let the message stand or fall on it's own merit. Same with Rush. You don't like the Messenger, you are free to not listen. Like Air America, when enough people tune out, it falls by design.
"Put me in the Gulag with the all the cool people." Chris BakerI say pull all of the tax exempt status from every church, mosque, and synagogue.If it is, I'm sure there's a laundry list of Leftist Pastors that should have theirs pulled too. Reverend Wright... white courtesy phone.. Reverend Wright.... white courtesy phone.
You guy's were Never big on Constitutional Limits on Controlling Authority, Unalienable Rights, Human Right's, Protection of the Clergy from Totalitarian Government, thanks for confirming that yet again, you Centralized Planner you.
Media Matters targeting radio stations
The tax exempt Media Matters is now buying radio messages targeting individual radio stations by name that carry the Rush Limbaugh show.
"According to Limbaugh, this hasn't affected his business, and he claims that advertisers are still beating down the door to be on his show (despite a memo circulated by syndicator Premiere Radio Networks listing advertisers who specifically are asking to be excluded from Limbaugh and other controversial shows).
A closer look at the issue debunks Limbaugh's rhetoric."
The Constitution is chock full of "entitlements". Our country is founded on "entitling" it's citizens. If you do not believe in the "entitlements" granted us then get the fuck a move on to some country where there are no entitlements.
But Media Matters is still a Fraud
Media Matters needs to be stripped of it's tax exempt Status. It is a Propaganda Machine.
Good thing we have laws governing tax-exempt organization, and don't base it on whatever you're feeling.
You obviously don't have Clue #1 what a Right is, in The United States Of America.

Huggy, My only hope for you is that the Pixies that serve Justice Pee in Your Wiper Fluid, and that A Teamster driving an 18 Wheeler, behind you, while you are cleaning your windshield, at 65 mph, lets you know how he feels about it. Whatever he gives you, ask him for one from me too, in solidarity. You are a Dick Sometimes, at least when you are not being a Prick, or a Schmuck.
Here is Something to think on, and when you are done, maybe you could reflect on all those wasted years in Public School, when you weren't in Detention, anyway.

Constitution Mythbuster
Helping to restore liberty by busting progressive myths about the Constitution
Entitlements are what make us a great Country? Really Mr. President?
Posted on May 13, 2011

The Myth
According to our President we would not be a great country without Social Security, Medicare, ObamaCare, and all the other multitude of entitlements.
The Truth
Our Country has been great since its very beginning and entitlements, which are relatively new development in our countrys history, had absolutely nothing to do with that.
Instead of making us great entitlements are having the opposite effect. The run away cost of entitlements makes up the largest share of the massive debt that is destroying our country. This free money is acting like a drug that is destroying the spirit of self-reliance and entrepreneurship that did make our nation great.
The Facts
These entitlements were not in existence at the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Nor were they in existence when our Constitution was ratified. Our countrys greatness can be directly tied to these two events.
Entitlements are actually a relatively new addition to our country. It was 1935 when the first, Social Security, came into existence. When the president made the claim that entitlements are what made this country great he completely disregarded all other factors and events that made this nation great over its first 159 years.
Since the very beginning the United States has been a great country because it was called into existence by the signing of the Declaration of Independence. At the very core of the Declaration of Independence is the belief that we are all endowed by God with Natural Rights that the government cannot take away from us. Most important among these Natural Rights is life, liberty, and the freedom to acquire property and dispose of as we see fit.
The Constitution was written to limit the power and size of the federal government so it would never pose a threat to the Natural Rights of this countrys citizens. By restraining the federal government the citizens of this country were free to prosper. The Constitution created a country where individuals are free to live their lives as they wish as long as they do not interfere with the rights of others.
Because the Constitution created a country where individuals are free to acquire property and dispose of it as they wish there is great incentive for people to become entrepreneurs and to innovate. This led to a prosperous nation as a whole.
This nation was also founded on Judeo-Christian principles. Charity is one of the cornerstones of these principles. Our founding fathers knew for us to remain a great nation it was essential we remained a country rooted in Judeo Christian principles.
Our founding fathers knew not everyone would prosper no matter how prosperous our country became. They also knew that by creating a prosperous nation, made up of free individuals, that is rooted in Judeo-Christian principles, we would be a charitable nation. The Declaration of Independence and Constitution together created a nation of individuals who, out of the goodness of their hearts, would help those in need.
Too much charity can lead to dependence, those receiving it can lose sight of the need to work, and too much easy money can lead to fraud and corruption. Our founding fathers understood this and sought to limit government charity. They knew the best way to limit the harmful effects of charity is keep it under strict local control. The framers of the Constitution did not grant the Federal Government any powers to provide charity in any form. Entitlements, like all other forms of charity, are unconstitutional.
The framers of the Constitution also had a more compelling justification to make entitlements by the Federal Government unconstitutional. They are a form of theft by taxes. Money is forcibly confiscated from the productive and given to the unproductive. Individuals do have a moral obligation to pay taxes but only for those services the government has a moral obligation to provide. At the federal level the government has a moral and a constitutional obligation to provide for the common defense and things that improve the well-being of the nation as a whole.
By confiscating wealth from the more productive you are reducing the incentive to become productive. By transferring wealth to the unproductive you are providing an incentive to become unproductive. By confiscating this wealth by taxes the government is reducing the amount of money these individuals would normally give to private charity. Our founding fathers understood the government is far more inefficient at providing anything compared to the private sector.........

But let a republican preacher preach politics from the pulpit and you blow a gasket every time.
Can you say 'hypocrite'?
