Re: Amen, PTree! We need the Whistleblowers !
No offense to you , Boldy. I'm a bit torn on this. Assuming a freely speaking person speaking responsibly, nobody should have their right to speak freely silenced. You and I both know that on an average day, the average person does not have access to the same forum/podium from which to speak freely to millions the way Moore and his ilk do. Be this as it may, it is quite suspicious and perhaps a sign that things have REALLY begun to go down hill quickly when even a prominent flaming liberal is, apparently, in the proces of being muffled.
Moore is not what I would consider a truly legit whistleblower; he only blows half a whistle.... the sound of one hand clapping, the left hand given Moore's present affiliation. Granted, Moore is among the rare few who seem able to excel using only half power. More to the point, he tends to view the world through liberal colored lenses.
Now, if it could somehow be arranged to pair up Moore with an appropirately flaming neo-con, together they would have the potential to constitute a fully functional whistle to blow. If such a couple could be encouraged such that Moore wouuld only blow about what he purports are the worst negative aspects of the neocons, and his coutnerpart was only permitted to blow about what he purports are the worst negative aspects of liberals, and both were silenced on what they purport are the glowing attributes of their respective parties, this may well portray a legitmate picture to be concerned for.
