Sen. Lott: "Talk Radio is Running America. We Have to Deal With That Problem" Republican senators have been feeling the heat over their waffling on amnesty. Comments
I don't see talk radio as a problem. Posted by: takn on June 15, 2007 10:23 AM The voices can not be silenced by the cash wh*res. What a problem. Posted by: Some Mexican on June 15, 2007 10:30 AM Didn’t Hitler say something like that? Tyranny is on the march. Posted by: Gail Roma on June 15, 2007 10:32 AM What, conservative grassroots opinion is swaying conservative elected officials in a representative democracy? Imagine that. If the New York Times and Washington Post urge Trent Lott of Mississippi to "deal with dissidents" in a Soviet or fascist way, this crisis will get even more interesting. The New York Times, Washington Post and Lott are submerged in an incompetent scheme that's destroying the lives of millions of American citizens, and in the face of cries of real pain, the best they can do is shove that bill through with raw force? Amazing. Posted by: Concerned Citizen on June 15, 2007 10:32 AM Talk radio isn't the problem. The problem is that talk radio gets feedback from American Citizens and allows others to hear their opinions. It seems that the politicians (may) listen to their constituents but it doesn't sink in anywhere. It goes in one ear and out the other. Talk radio allows disemmination of views on both sides and allows the listener to think and weigh their values against what they are hearing and decide for themselves their own opinion. If they wish to express that oponion there are outlets to allow that with talk radio. Talk radio allows some who might not otherwise develop or express an opinion to do just that.

Posted by: Some Mexican on June 15, 2007 10:39 AM Unfortunately it's morons like Lott & Bush running the country. Posted by: LB on June 15, 2007 10:42 AM Wasn't it Trent Lott who strutted all over talk radio when it behooved him to do so? Yep, hypocrite... Posted by: takn on June 15, 2007 11:04 AM Wasn't it Trent Lott who strutted all over talk radio when it behooved him to do so? Yep, hypocrite... Posted by: takn on June 15, 2007 11:06 AM Lott is an Old Elitist Jerk! These are the kind we need to throw out! And don't let the door hit them! They are burned up that US Citizens are saying HELL! NO! to Shamnesty how dare we challenge thier Judgement they know best! Bull Hockey and just maybe this is of an Activist Electorate fighting for Native Born US Citizens. Pro Deo et Patria! Posted by: Critter on June 15, 2007 11:20 AM The time to tell em how you feel is at election, no donations, no votes equals no crooked lying politician Posted by: jmac on June 15, 2007 11:21 AM Once again, I sense something going on, in the background that we don’t know about yet. Consider Lott’s recent statements: "No big deal -- you pitch those [amendments] before you get to the Rotunda." “Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.” “…leadership will have to be prepared to do what needs to be done.” If have never heard a politician talk like that. They may think like that, but they never talk like that. It’s almost as if he is rubbing our noses in the fact that they can do whatever they please. Maybe they can? The X factor? Posted by: Gail Roma on June 15, 2007 11:22 AM ". . .talk radio people who don't even know what's in the bill" Oh. Sorry. Your right. I don't know each and every pork item that is burried in this bill. I guess I'd better burn my radio and support amnesty then. Do you want me to report my neighbors if I hear them listening to the radio? Posted by: Bill Dexter on June 15, 2007 11:39 AM PHIL DONOHUE WAS FIRED IN 2002 BECAUSE HE SPOKE AGAINST THE IRAQ WAR Now, about 59% of Americans don't like that war. But back in 2002 President Hitler had MSM Elite Kings and Queens controlling free speech and we didn't dare oppose the Nazis' wishes. Now its amnesty slaves the Elite wants and they're mad as Hades we don't fear those spineless/greedy OVERPOPULATION weirdos anymore. They want control of free speech again!!! Posted by: Softwarengineer on June 15, 2007 11:41 AM RE: “we don't fear those spineless/greedy OVERPOPULATION weirdos anymore.” Softwarengineer, what scares me is that, by their behavior, they are proving that they no longer fear US. Something has changed. Posted by: Gail Roma on June 15, 2007 11:56 AM It's a sad day when you realize that all the Rhetoric we've been told about how great our government is; and then you wake up to see crooked politicians selling out to the highest bidders of corrupt corporations! I LOVE America but these scoundrels have stolen it from us and are now giving it away! The only option we have is to either revolt or to vote out every incumbent (Republican, Democrat or Independent)until they reform and give us our country back! If this doesn't work then God Help us all. All that will be left is Revolt!!! Posted by: We The People on June 15, 2007 12:23 PM Hey, Senator, will burning books be next? Thank heavens for talk radio since there seems to be some sort of outage in Washington as far as getting through by phone. I would guess that none of you have your "people" answer the phone anymore since we shut you down once. You're probably having them delete all opposing emails and faxes too. But, you can't stop us at the voting booths! Posted by: June on June 15, 2007 12:49 PM Hey, Senator, will burning books be next?

Then get out of politics. No one will miss you - at least no Republican will. Barring that, maybe you can consider a move to China. They seem to have the political climate you'd prefer. (Funny: back after the 1994 elections, the GOP was praising guys like Rush endlessly. That was back when they purported to be on the side of working Americans. Now that the gig is up, they're trying to shut Limbaugh et al up). Posted by: Craig on June 15, 2007 12:56 PM "Talk Radio is Running America." "We Have to Deal With That Problem" What "we" are you talking about? Posted by: Angus MacLeod on June 15, 2007 01:03 PM I went to Trent Lott's wikipedia entry, trying to figure out why this guy feels free to be a world-class jerk. And I found my answer: he was just re-elected last year, after having, conveniently, voted against the last amnesty (S. 2611). Funny how these senators switch their votes based on how far away their next election is. Kyl did the same. Landrieu, Pryor, and Baucus are doing the same. And so on and so on and so on. Perhaps we should make senatorial terms 2 years instead of 6. Posted by: Craig on June 15, 2007 01:03 PM Gail Roma writes: “…by their behavior, they are proving that they no longer fear US. Something has changed.” Gail, once again you have uncovered an aspect of this (immigration) invasion that has eluded many other people. In an earlier post you referred to an X Factor. I don’t know exactly what the X factor is, but a clue could be found in recent dual directives (signed by Bush) that received very little attention in the MSM. These directives, signed on May 9 of 2007, grant near dictatorial powers to the office of the President in the event of a national emergency, as declared by the President himself. A (related) news article is available at: http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_107907.asp It is conceivable that Bush could declare our increasingly energetic protests (over Amnesty) to be a national emergency, and then use the authority granted by the new directives to employ whatever force is needed to stifle our activism and free speech. He might even declare some of us to be domestic terrorists and then try to use that designation to deny us due process. There is every indication that we are entering a very dark phase of American history. Posted by: Steph on June 15, 2007 01:06 PM At some point, Mr. Lott said, Senate Republican leaders may try to rein in “younger guys who are huffing and puffing against the bill.” This translates into "some senators are actually listening to their constituents". Too bad for Lott. If people actually like having their Senators represent their wishes. Lott and his kind can kiss their careers goodbye. Posted by: Dave Andre on June 15, 2007 01:17 PM The people we need to deal with are those in the Senate and the white house. At least talk shows listen to the american people. We know now that bush has thrown out American law for international law and now he wants to stop free speech. Posted by: Beckyal on June 15, 2007 01:43 PM What disturbs Lott and others supporting the Shamnesty bill, is that the day when Senate grafters could cook up a raft of corporate payoff trash and sneak it by the voters is OVER! Posted by: Gary on June 15, 2007 02:23 PM LOTT IS THE LATEST TRAITOR TOO EXPOSE HIMSELF TOO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! Posted by: American Me on June 15, 2007 03:14 PM This foolish bastar- LOTT (biblical Sodom figure) Some issues are too big to be addresses as "BUSINESS AS USUAL". This is as ill adviced THE UNITED STATES SHOULD NOT BECOME THE Trying to force that change should be a We must try to appeal to the decency of the Posted by: Allan S. on June 15, 2007 03:30 PM The MSM (e.g., LA Times, Associated Press) does such an awful and biased job covering the illegal immigration crisis, I am SO glad talk radio exists a powerful source of information. No doubt Trent Lott is irritated at the fact that the three most powerful talk radio hosts in the nation (Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Michael Savage) -- and many others across the nation -- are rightfully critical of the Bush/Kennedy amnesty scheme. To which my "loud" answer is -- TOUGH. Posted by: FedUp on June 15, 2007 03:47 PM It is this treasonous bas-ard Lott who I'll bet has'nt read the bill and could'nt care less, since he has his head so far up Bush's ....he can't see. Anyway, why would a "representative from the poorest state in the union want illegal immigration. He makes me puke. Get rid of him, for your own good, if you live in Miss. Posted by: Bobby on June 15, 2007 03:56 PM Wow, I say that's a threat to the American people and the American way. This guy is out of his mind. Posted by: Carolyn on June 15, 2007 04:00 PM What is bothering Lott - and others - is that the people phoning, faxing, etc their Senators actually DO know what is in this bill. And the more they know the less they like! Posted by: D Flinchum on June 15, 2007 05:17 PM "J....C....." Most of these Senators don't know what's in the bill. They haven't read what's written and most of it is still being written. I think Jeff Sessions is the only one that appears to be reading what is coming as it comes in. Posted by: veteran on June 15, 2007 05:29 PM I guess it was a good thing he was reduced from majority leader after his comment about the ex KKK .... Now that he has really exposed his ass, he needs to be out of office. Posted by: Greg on June 15, 2007 06:07 PM Senator Lott, perhaps you like the manner in which Hugo Chavez deals with pesky media that don't follow the party line? Posted by: Fedup on June 15, 2007 06:16 PM RE: “But, you can't stop us at the voting booths!” June, you couldn’t be more wrong. Think about electronic vote counting. Posted by: Gail Roma on June 15, 2007 06:29 PM I need to say one more thing about traitor Lott, he could not possibly be running again, after making these stupid comments. So the question is who is going to bribe him for this betrayal. Yes, it is sad that we are now forced to think in this manner towards those who are supposedly "representing" us. Posted by: Bobby on June 15, 2007 07:05 PM Steph, right after Hitler took power, he had the Reichstag burned down to create a national emergency. He used the “emergency”, to have legislation passed that gave him dictatorial powers. It was called the Enabling Act. What you have discovered here is no less than an an Enabling Act. I can almost smell the smoke now. Nice catch! Posted by: Gail Roma on June 15, 2007 07:08 PM Please send the following letter to the sponsors of the Amnesty Bill Posted by: Bob Williams on June 15, 2007 11:59 PM I found a very good article: The Inside Story On What's Happening With The Senate Immigration Bill. It is how they plan to win. Please Read this. Real Nobel HUH? Posted by: marg on June 16, 2007 12:43 AM Greedy morons are running America,,,,and WE have to deal with THAT problem!! Posted by: Mary on June 16, 2007 10:26 AM I just can't get over thse politicians! Posted by: vin farina on June 16, 2007 09:09 PM So let me see if I got this right...they want to shove this shamnesty bill down our throat, and when we raise a fuss about it, they want to get rid of our free speach??? Time to start voting the bums outta office, before this becomes Little Amerika. Posted by: tabingins911 on June 17, 2007 08:12 AM Yes, Hitler did do and say similar things. He started with brning Germany's books! Posted by: cher on June 17, 2007 03:43 PM AMEN! ALLAN S it is TREASON!
Posted by: Critter on June 18, 2007 07:05 AM Bob Williams - Don't forget about the fact that cities that declare themselves a sanctuary should be denied federal funds. Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on June 18, 2007 01:05 PM Great insight by Steph and Gail Roma! One look at the Northwoods document should put to rest the naive attitude that our own government would be above doing some like Reichstag. Northwoods just happens to be the one JKF rejected. How many false flag operations have they slipped by us? It is a known fact that intelligence agencies placed covert agitators inside the anti Vietnam war movement. We shouldn't be surprised if they are attempting to infiltrate immigration reform organizations. They probably already targeted MMP and failed so far to provide fodder for the absurd accusation of "vigilantes". The statement by Lott about talk radio is just the tip of the censorship iceberg. The quislings have been busy little bees trying to legislate controls on the first Amendment, including repeated attempts spearheaded by McCain to put a short leash on internet bloggers and net based journalism.

The latest evidence is statements by Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS). "Comments by Republican senators on Thursday suggested that they were feeling the heat from conservative critics of the bill, who object to provisions offering legal status. The Republican whip, Trent Lott of Mississippi, who supports the bill, said: 'Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem,'" the New York Times reports. "'I'm sure senators on both sides of the aisle are being pounded by these talk-radio people who don't even know what's in the bill,' Lott said. He added that the 'leadership will have to be prepared to do what needs to be done,'" the Washington Post wrote.
