And that will more than likely get you fired, or sponsors will drop you. I know what you're saying but this issue needs to be navigated around intelligently. I think Helen probably doesn't care at this point. It's kind of a crappy way to go out, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581614926672563071.post-26984710671975945252010-06-08T12:04:08.186-07:002010-06-08T12:04:08.186-07:00I'll gve you that it is a bad comparison.

Think what you will, but that'll get you fired. Yes, Beck and Rush and Hannity and those other morons spew junk like that all the time but...they're on Fox News, which actually ENCOURAGES that sort of incendiary comment (I don't believe Hearst adheres to those "standards"), and secondly, Rush Limbaugh/Beck/Hannity don't compare historically with Thomas. At least in my book.
