GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS, UNBELIEVABLE NEWS
by James W. Harris Libertarian-Republican TV Star Rips Into GOP “Humor Police Former MTV veejay and current VH1 television talk show personality Kennedy has long said she's a philosophical libertarian and a registered Republican. (She even has a pink Republican elephant tattooed on her upper left thigh.) Recently, on MSNBC's “Scarborough Country” (November 17, 2004) Kennedy ripped into conservative attempts to impose personal morality at gunpoint.  In a discussion about the Federal Communication Commission's crackdown on "indecent" speech on radio and TV, Kennedy accused Republicans of restricting free speech and favoring "a moral dictatorship in this country." Specifically, she said she opposed the FCC's campaign against racy radio hosts like Howard Stern. "You know what?" she said to several conservative panelists on the show. "You guys, you have become the humor police. And you're using the liberalization of governmental controls in broadcasting the way that liberals do with the war on terror and guns. And any other time the Left wants to squash liberties, you know, conservatives, they start barking up the tree of freedom. But all of a sudden, you know, you're doing the exact same thing. And it's very hypocritical. What happened to the libertarian bent in the Republican Party?" Kennedy also spoke out against high taxes on “Scarborough Country.” "I mean, I live in Seattle, where what we have to show for [our taxes] is a brand new $500 million baseball stadium. And, you know, potholes."  Kennedy (born Lisa Kennedy Montgomery) is perhaps best known for her high-profile four-year stint as host of MTV's “Alternative Nation” (1992-1996). She’s been active in broadcast and print media since. And in 2004, she joined VH1's pop culture show, “The Best Week Ever.” (Source: Profile by Advocates Director of Communications Bill Winter for our "Libertarian Celebrities and VIPs" site.

She's an idot, a moron, spaced out on drugs. Decent people don't want to listen to, and see all that crap on TV and the radio. She needs to attend a good Christian church occasionally and get some morals teaching, obviously her momma never taught her any!

She needs to attend a good Christian church occasionally and get some morals teaching, obviously her momma never taught her any! What the hell are you talking about? From her bio: On most issues, Kennedy certainly sounds like a libertarian. According to Metropolitan Living magazine (September 1999), she "hates drugs but doesn't think they should be illegal, likes the Second Amendment but doesn't own a gun. She's big on personal freedoms that people take for granted." Kennedy also spoke out against high taxes on Scarborough Country. "I mean, I live in Seattle, where what we have to show for [our taxes] is a brand new $500 million baseball stadium. And, you know, potholes." She told the Penn State University Collegian (April 9, 1996) that her political beliefs are "somewhere between P.J. O'Rourke and Ayn Rand."[/b] - Rick |

I know this is probably too easy to pick on, but I love it when someone accuses someone else of being intellectually inferior and can't even spell their word of choice correctly.
AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If decent people don't want to see/listen to certain things on TV or radio, the intelligent thing to do would be to not watch/listen.
I don't want to hear Rush Limbaugh on the radio spewing hatred, so I don't listen to him, I've never once tried to have his show banned by the government.
Bunch of fuckwads
