Kosovo and American Foreign Policy Myths:

Kevin vs. ronn owens_4-1-99

ronn owen's entire purport has been that this attack is because America cares about human rights. Within 55 seconds he had to admit that it cannot be.

Since he couldn't attach my opposition to that of the irrational reich wing "clinton haters" he worked me until he could find a place to hang up on me and put forth an unchallenged judgment of my assertions.

Listen to the call.

He said my analogy held no water.   It's actually a perfect anology, that's why he wouldn't allow me to finish it. It's deficit had to do with it being an incomplete statement.

It was an incomplete because he cut me off in the middle of it, before I could complete it. That's why I call talk radio the "trap door debating society."

He had to. Concise regurgitation and repitition of a narrow spectrum of opinion is the practical definition of the 1st amendment.  Disagree and do well and you are dropped through a virtual trap door.

His job as a "near right"* opinion manager is to marganalize dissent, sell attention spans to advertisers and manufacture consent for the mythical american way.

And this is as good as it ever gets if you can make your case when you disagree with ronn owens.

*The actual political spectrum is a trichotomy: Left, near right, far right. You can make it more complicated if you like. The real world trichotomy is have/have less/have/not. This is quite well born out in the founding documents of this country, if one bothers to read them for ones self.
