Are they going to specify that only prank calls that make Republicans look like the a wholes they are be made illegal? Or is this an across the board way of putting Bart Simpson in jail for harassing poor old ugly Moe?
I have never understood the Prince Albert in a can call. What are (or
were) the chances of anyone actually having a can of that brand of pipe
tobacco? So the answer from the prankee would be "No, I don’t have
Prince Albert in a can." And the pranker would say. "Well Let him out…
ANYWAY!" And who is (or was) Prince Albert ANYWAY?
But to the real issue at hand.
Mike Tobin is not really the guilty one in this news cycle of Fox News lies adn propaganda. In fact I must give the man credit for some degree of bravery going into a crowd with "FOX NEWS" imprinted on him as "FOX NEWS" is the loudest and most dishonest arch enemy of teachers, government workers, unions and Democrats.
The Fox News spin began immediately as the live report happened. Tobin was "attacked," "punched," "hit," and "battered," the Fox News talking heads screamed for days!
Here is the actual video of the "battering" which Fox News also had on video but never showed for obvious reasons.
So what does Fox News do when this video hits YOUTUBE? Though it matters not a wit to the Fox News audience that the attack was a three finger shove on the arm, Bill O’Reilly had to circle the wagons and make it worse showing a harder shove by a union "goon" somewhere and sometime in California. Tucked between images and videos of the peaceful demonstration in Wisconsin.
It’s what Fox News does, it is why they have 5 of their employees running on the far Right of the GOP for President. Who all play to the Fox News audience made up of old white ignorant bigots. Who vote in higher numbers than any other group. Which is why we are in the fix we are in.
UPDATE! Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have been given pink slips by News Corp and as of this morning are no longer employees. So it seems TWO Republicans have now declared they are in the run for President in 2012.
Even after we find that Fox News reporter Tobin lied Showing a video clip of some past push and shove in California to define the Wisconsin demonstrators as violent is what makes Fox News so FAIR and BALANCED to their highly UNBALANCED audience.
