Rolling Out The Red Carpet...
We had a lively discussion this morning. I started out the morning with Lisa Dente a military mom with a husband serving and she was a little perterbed about the Town of Columbus providing bathrooms for these low life pro-testers. I decided to pile on a bit too with the local news media (Ledger Enquirer, News 3, News Leader 9) giving a ridiculous amount of coverage to these guys while stiffing God Bless Fort Benning Day. CNN and Fox News have proven again that they do a better job of local Columbus Coverage with major events then our local television stations. CNN was there the entire God Bless Fort Benning event with live coverage while Fox News mentioned God Bless Fort Benning Day several times including Fox and Friends. It just proves that the news media in this town is lazy and is as left as the day is long. I guarantee if the planners of this event gave the local news media a couple a thousand dollars in advertisments you'd see how patriotic they can be. So I'm assuming if you want the Ledger, News 3 and News Leader 9 to be patriotic for a day and ignore the protesters you better pay em up! How bout them apples junior?

Wow!!! Those are some rotten apples. I agree that the local stations do not do a whole lot of Good News coverage. They would rather go with the dirt. That is the reason so many people do not watch it anymore. All I care about knowing is the weather and I can get that from the weather channel or listen to you guys in the morning and know what I need to know without getting too depressed. That bulldog eating the guy thing was kind of a downer though. But again that was the channel 3 chick so I guess I can't blame you for that one. Give 'em hell Wild Bill.

Hey Wild Bill! As I said that morning with you on the telephone, this city needs to get its act together! Can we file a complaint with the state? Afterall, isn't it illegal for a city to "sponsor" (which is what they did when they provided free facilities and electricity) to political protesters? Where else, but in Columbus GA could a city get away with paying this bill! I have no problem with them providing police support, afterall there tends to be quite a few that get arrested each year, but to provide the electricity and bathrooms is above and beyond! These people were on a public street as well as were the bathrooms! Not private property! Let's close down a road to support our troops, oh wait they can't (or more likely won't) do that!
