That Nasty Free Speech Strikes Again………
Today Chris Gregoire, in another classic two faced move, has complained that talk radio [insert KVI here] has whipped people into a state that she finds “concerning”. Implying, I suppose, that somehow people talking about the beyond-flawed Governor’s race is somehow threatening her own safety.
She must love that statue of Lenin in King County.
But then at the same time Christine’s own people are being called and told to call into the stations whenever the subject of the Governor’s race is discussed.
So….. are our tax dollars paying people to listen to the radio and tattle? Heads up Kirsten Brost…..your people are encouraging your people to tattle on others. Tsk tsk tsk…….
On a side note, right after Dino Rossi was counted the winner for the second time and Gregoire was pulling some of her less than above board shenanigans……I called the AG’s office to talk to someone about the conflict of interest issue that was quickly arising. I was immediately transferred, not to an attorney in the office, but to Chris Gregoire’s transition team. Transition team???? What did she know that we didn’t? And the bigger question is why the AG’s office was doing her personal work. Because that’s what that was. It’s called the Attorney General’s office for a reason….not Gregoire campaign headquarters. But then Ms. Gregoire often seems to find herself in the position of thinking that she doesn’t have to follow the same rules that everyone else does.
How can we ever forget the fiasco in the AG’s office where she blamed an employee for something she herself had done?
So now Ms. Gregoire, who doesn’t exactly hold the moral high ground here, is telling all of “us” that we shouldn’t be using the most valuable right we all equally possess…..that of free speech.
That’s rich, Christine, really…………
Ms. Gregoire, at least when we listen to talk radio, no one has to call us and tell us to do it…….

Haven’t we heard this before that talk Radio is the cause of death threats and lies? During the Clinton administration didn’t we get the same claims from Hillary and Bill? Why is it that the Democrats always fear healthy conversation and discussion on issues, why do they want to stifle free speech when it is about them but champion it when it is supporting them? It sounds like the former Soviet Union when they controlled the air waves and print media so that nothing was discussed unless it was complimentary to their cause. May be they should change the name of their party, just a thought.

I saw her on the news tonight using the concern of talk radio free speech as an excuse to censor.
Yeah, that dude in Yakima that threatend her is an idiot that brings a bad name to the passionate conservatives. But to use that as an excuse to draw attention to the influence of talk radio is absurd.
My thinking has always been, and continues to be...allow for a re-vote, let the cards fall where they may, and I will respect whoever is elected Governor. Right now, I don't respect Gregoire. She's King County's Governor...not mine.
