The fallout continues...

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

I was ripped when this story broke, and the more I read about it, the LESS fishy it looks--even this story buries the pertinent fact that Armstrong was paid not to talk on the radio but to produce media spots.

They can have their probe. Provided we can probe CBS and their connections to the Kerry campaign.

Laws broken my ass! It was an ethical violation, created from a group of DNC journalistic whores that have no ethics! Way to go Armstrong! Keep the money! You sold NCLB well, and you believed in it, unlike the crap Dan Rather believes in (and still thinks) is true!

A member of the Federal Communications Commission said Thursday the agency should investigate whether conservative commentator Armstrong Williams broke the law by failing to disclose that the Bush administration paid him $240,000 to plug its education policies.

Only if he didn't disclose it to the IRS.

someone knowledgeable should look up the clinton administration's record to see if there were precedents.

This isn't about Williams. It's to tie the Bush Administration to something, ANTHING, illegal.

What's to investigate? He came right out and said what he did. Shouldn't someone at the FCC know whether what he did was legal or not?

What a bunch of dumbasses.

Let them go ahead and investigate - what they will find is that there were hundreds or maybe thousands of DEMOCRATS who were doing worse things .. they were getting paid to say things that were not true. At least Williams was saying truthful stuff and stuff he believed in.

The democrats always want to investigate until they find out there are democrats doing worse - suddenly the investigation gets cancelled - ask Lieberman about the Enron investigation. He dropped it like a hot potato once he discovered it lead directly back to Clinton.
