[Kathianne]

Right-Wing Talk Radio = Terrorists? [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
From a Q&A with the speaker of the California assembly, Karen Bass, in the Los Angeles Times:

Q: How do you think conservative talk radio has affected the Legislature's work?

A: The Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now [some] are facing recalls. They operate under a terrorist threat: "You vote for revenue and your career is over." I don't know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it's about free speech, but it's extremely unfair.

I guess she said it: "I guess it's about free speech, but it's extremely unfair."

[red states rule]

It's the Democratic legislature that has destroyed California, not US citizens exercising their first amendment rights

This is so typical - anyone who votes against, or disagrees with a liberal is then then a racist, a hate monger, a bigot, and now a terrorist. Seems even though they are in total control, Dems are more thin skined then ever before

Here is a perfect example why the left hates talk radio.

Yesterday Rush opened his show by showing how the liberal media is playing up the economy regardless of the facts

Here is a clip from CNN yesterday morning:

CNN's Newsroom, the anchor Betty Nguyen spoke with Money host Christine Romans about the economy. And Betty Nguyen said, "Hey, Christine! Explain this. How did we do in the first half of the year?"

ROMANS: We've seen a spring stock market rally that has been quite incredible! Job losses are slowing! Consumer confidence is improving! People are feeling a little better. They're feeling better because they're spending less. They're saving more money. They're getting back to basics. There's a new frugality that's making them feel better. There was a hu-u-uuge rally in the stock market in the second quarter. The stock market [is] telling us that it thinks things are going to get better eventually, and you're going to see that rally. If you are still invested in stocks -- if you had faith and you were buying stocks along the way this spring, you're buying them at cheap prices -- you're going to see that rally when you open up your 401(k) statement."


Well consumer confidence "took an unexpectedly steep slide in June."

The Dow has been mmoving sideways at best and lost 80 points yesterday

Seems CNN is seeing things other then the way the really are

Yet we were in dire straits throughout the 2000's during the Bush years with dangerously high unemployment of 5.1%, a DOW of 14,000 and consumer confidence teatering on the brink of giddy. Thank god we're improving from that. :rolleyes:

Employers cut fewer jobs in April, jobless rate falls
By JEANNINE AVERSA, AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON – Employers cut far fewer jobs in April than in recent months and the unemployment rate dropped to 5 percent, a better-than-expected showing that nonetheless reveals strains in the nation’s labor market.

For the fourth month in a row, the economy lost jobs, the Labor Department reported Friday. But in April the losses totaled 20,000, an improvement from the 81,000 reductions in payrolls logged in March. Job losses for both February and March turned out to be a bit deeper than previously reported.

The latest snapshot of the nationwide employment conditions — while clearly still weak — was better than many economists were anticipating. They were bracing for job cuts of 75,000 and for the unemployment rate to climb to 5.2 percent.

The unemployment rate, derived from a different statistical survey than the payroll figures, fell to 5 percent from 5.1 percent in March. That survey showed more people finding employment than those who didn’t.

Businesses are handing out pink slips as they cope with an economy that is teetering on the edge of a recession, or possibly in one already. A severe housing slump, harder-to-get credit and financial turmoil have forced people and businesses to be more cautious in their spending. And that has hurt the economy…

In other economic news, the Commerce Department reported that orders to U.S. factories rose a bigger-than-expected 1.4 percent in March, after two straight months of declines.

The fresh economic news lifted Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrials were up in afternoon trading…

Meanwhile, zooming energy and food prices are taking a bite out of paychecks. If the job market continues to falter, wage growth probably will slow, too, making people even less inclined to spend. That would spell further trouble for the economy…

The economy advanced at a snail’s pace of just 0.6 percent in the first three months of this year as people and businesses clamped down on their spending. It marked the second quarter in a row of such feeble growth.

A growing number of economists believe the economy is in a recession and is indeed contracting now.

Under one rough rule, if the economy contracts for six straight months it is considered to be in a recession. That didn’t happen in the last recession — in 2001— though. A panel of experts at the National Bureau of Economic Research that determines when U.S. recessions begin and end uses a broader definition, taking into account income, employment and other barometers. That finding is usually made well after the fact.
