Liberal Radio Talkers Take Polls on Japan

Several liberal talk-radio hosts are pandering to listeners by taking polls on just how despicable Republicans are in response to the horrifying disaster in Japan and the scary nuclear-power issues. The poll at Thom Hartmann's website asks:

Will the Republicans succeed in cutting Tsunami funds?

-- Yes! You gotta give tax breaks to millionaires and the money has to come from somewhere.
-- No! Even Tea Baggers want to be safe.

Surprisingly, at the time of this writing, 57 percent picked "No." A more predictable tilt came in the Ed Schultz radio show poll:

Will the disaster in Japan cause an meaningful safety reforms in the American Nuclear industry?
 

-- Yes, this is to horrifying to ignore (18 %) [sic]
-- No, corporate Republicans will block any reform as too expensive. (82 %) 

Going around the Web a bit, Mike Malloy's website has a box for social media, which has a link for "all those speak English in America a--holes" -- a Facebook page titled "You're In America, Speak Native American."

The Bill Press Show website has posted pictures of about 17 people protesting at the White House in favor of WikiLeaker Bradley Manning.

...like a crisis. And like we've long seen, they never let a good crisis go to waste in order to forward their agenda.

Where are all the 'stars'

I don't see any liberals offering to help out, like when Haiti got slammed. No celebrity telethons. And certainly no volunteers. Guess the Japanese aren't the correct color.

Americans keeping their own earnings is a Civil Right! Demand your Civil Rights!

By "meaningful safety reforms" they of course mean a complete shutdown.

Where's the poll evaluating the Obama administration's response to the crisis?

Never mind. They don't even want to talk about it.

That FB page called You're In America, Speak Native American. How is it that the indigenous people don't want to be called "Indians" because they aren't from India, yet are full ok with Native American even though the word America comes from a European's name? I think I'm going to sue some tribes that use the term Native American....uhhh, only the ones that have casinos of course.
President Obama is a Muslim (from his own lips), Kenyan (read it from his publicist) a homosexual (read it on a news magazine cover) and a Socialist (I'm alive and can see it for myself)
