Yes, he does. The Belz is very politically active in far left causes and a huge Obama supporter which probably led to his invite by USA Today.

No it is not. Part of what makes America great is the different opinions that we can freely express.

I saw a clip of Wanda Sykes speaking at the White House Correspondents dinner last night on Orbit. I have never laughed so hard in my life! She was funny!

Wanda is genuinely funny BUT I was distressed when she went on a Limbaugh Rant. Inappropriate for her to wish him dead from kidney failure and suggest he was too stoned to be the 20th hijacker and that he committed treason. Even worse was Obama's laughter at this. an you imagine if someone said these things about Keith or Rachel? I know I am just an old lady but the amount of hate on both sides has reached a new low. Wanda wants Rush dead and CBS's top Golf anaylyst wants Pelosi and Reid killed by soldiers. Does this scare anyone else but me.

The guy who said he wanted Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid killed definitely hit a new low. I'm not a fan of Pelosi or Reid, either; they're both complicit in something. The golf analyst scares me because to me it means he wants everyone who disagrees with him to be killed by soldiers.
We both mentioned Wanda Sykes's speech, which the media are now talking about. However, this goes back to the argument that anyone who invites a Wanda Sykes or an Ice-T to speak at any social engagement should know what they're getting themselves into. Once they invite either one to speak, it's too late.

Last night on Countdown, Keith said she was out of line on the Limbaugh remark and that took a lot of class cause he doesn't like Rush but he was man enough to admit that the remarks were out of line.

Wow! That must have taken Keith a lot of courage to say that about someone he doesn't like (i.e., Rush Limbaugh). Good for Keith for speaking out about it as he did last year when someone hung an effigy of Sarah Palin at the entrance of his (the homeowner's) house on Halloween.

I think everyone needs to disagree without being disagreeable. Some can't do it.
