Merle Haggard: ‘It’s Almost Criminal What They Do With Our President’

[Oldstyle]

I'm amused by the almost frantic attempts by Obama apologists to paint someone OTHER than the Obama White House as liars. What the recent Gruber bruhaha illustrates quite clearly is that the group of people we have in the White House right now are more than willing to lie to the American people.

I'm pretty sure Merle is aware all Presidents get treated this way he also states he's sure some of what is said is true and some is not. Welcome to the world of politics Merle.

 

[blastoff]

Yes, please, all of us on the Right. Let's pledge to treat Barry no worse than the left treated President Bush. There, now everyone knows the guidelines when referring to this worthless asshole's administration, policies, et al.

Merle probably listens to the AM talk radio, GOP Echo-Chamber and Fox News. This is a first time in history that such a single one sided group is permitted to dominate broadcast stations throughout the country and they are allowed to broadcast from a single perspective, day after day, without presenting opposing views.

Nope you had your chance You guys suck hind teat. When we were attacked by terrorist in 2001, the Left rallied behind the President. Under President Obama, when we were attacked, the Right couldn't attack him fast enough. Shit, the terrorist attacks were still on going when the verbal assaults from the Right started. So will the Rights actions be the guideline for treatment of future GOP presidents????

Wait, that's a joke........isn't it?

It's a free market. The libs do have a few listeners but they have the mainstream media, cartoon channels and comedy shows for their information.

It actually started back on Reagan's day, called the Fairness Doctrine. The Democrats made radio stations air competing views and no station wanted to waste money on it. It would be like a combo country/rap station.

Thanks for the MSNBC talking points which are highly funny given the number of sources available to give the liberal viewpoint.

ISIS started attacking at the beginning of the year and Barry called them the JV. Obama is being "attacked" because he misjudged the situation in the Middle East SO badly.

Hahaha you think they are giving out information, like news. It is what it is. Combine doing away with the Fairness doctrine and allowing a consolidation of broadcast stations into fewer hands. It started taking shape against Clinton but now, against President Obama they have risen to new heights in their bid to fill the airwaves with cheap sensationalist one sided talking points. To be sure it would have been used against Mrs Clinton had she been elected too.

A license permits broadcasting, but the licensee has no constitutional right to be the one who holds the license or to monopolize a...frequency to the exclusion of his fellow citizens. There is nothing in the First Amendment which prevents the Government from requiring a licensee to share his frequency with others.... It is the right of the viewers and listeners, not the right of the broadcasters, which is paramount.

— U.S. Supreme Court, upholding the constitutionality of the Fairness Doctrine in Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC, 1969.

American thought and American politics will be largely at the mercy of those who operate these stations, for publicity is the most powerful weapon that can be wielded in a republic. And when such a weapon is placed in the hands of one person, or a single selfish group is permitted to either tacitly or otherwise acquire ownership or dominate these broadcasting stations throughout the country, then woe be to those who dare to differ with them. It will be impossible to compete with them in reaching the ears of the American people.

— Rep. Luther Johnson (D.-Texas), in the debate that preceded the Radio Act of 1927

The Fairness Doctrine FAIR

The thing that has been "filling the airwaves" Boo...are the Obama scandals that have come one after another, like waves crashing on the shore. Barack Obama has gotten negative coverage because his administration is embarrassingly bad at governing.

 

[hazlnut]

I think it's criminal how most news outlets protect him

The FOX is strong in this one.

 

[boedicca]

So Merle finds calling the president names and engaging in politics to be "almost" criminal?

BFD.

 

[plant]

Faux & Republicans think they can make him as bad as Bush Jr . Fat ******* chance .

Dude, I hate to break this to you but Barry has proven to be a combination of Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon all rolled up into a completely incompetent ball. His eight years in office will become the gold standard for which other incompetent Presidents will be measured.

 

[Katzndogz]

Haggard is living in the past. The days when we had decency in the white house.

So only one?

Seemed to me ol' Merle was whining about more then one news outlet

The endless whines of infinite scandal is only coming from the Echo-Chamber.

Sounds like Merle has been hangin' with Willie too long.
