[Jo March]

146. Freeper comment on Frist's blog

This made me want to puke:

"Why are ranking Republicans not responding in the media with the available excellent arguments?? Have you never heard of Goebbels??
Immediate response is needed (and not just to Feingold!) NO untrue statement or biased outpouring should be allowed to pass without rebuttal. If you think the Democrats and their left-wing fellow travelers are going to play nicely by the rules, FORGET IT!"

I don't think that following Goebbels is a good thing but I'm just a liberal, right??
