You said, "PBS means hopelessly biased liberalism".
Are you one of those people (Hannity/Rush types) that use the word liberal as if it's something to be ashamed about?
Are you trying to give the word "liberal" the same connotation as "racist"?
I never imagined you as such. Please don't take offense Chris, I'm just asking.
"You said, 'PBS means hopelessly biased liberalism'."
Don't forget I said usually.
"Are you one of those people (Hannity/Rush types) that use the word liberal as if it's something to be ashamed about?"
No. Are you one of those people that uses the words "Hannity/Rush types" as if it's something to be ashamed about?
Where do I connote "liberal" with "racist"?
Please don't take offense...
That's hard not to with your insinuations, PL. But I'll take your word for it. It's no secret that PBS, a publicly and governmentally funded network, leans left. With little to no form of balance or response.
I never imagined you as such.
Sorry to disappoint. 
Ah, ok, So you do listen to Hannity/Rush. Just wanted to get a feel as to the type of person I would be talking with. Some of my best friends are Hannity/Rush fans.
I listen to Hannity and Rush when I'm in my car. I can't catch Air America on a local station, yet.
I like to listen to Hannity whenever I want to laugh a bit. It's amazing how much anger Hannity has in his heart. He seems to be pissed off all the time.
As far as PBS leaning to the left, I don't know about that. We know they can't "make up" news, right? And if the Bush Administration says they are liberal leaning, then I guess they are. The Bush Administration can't be wrong.
Thanks for your response.
" Ah, ok, So you do listen to Hannity/Rush."
And I said that where?
"I can't catch Air America on a local station, yet."

"It's amazing how much anger Hannity has in his heart."
And you know this how? You a heart surgeon, PL?
"We know they can't "make up" news, right?
Why not? It never stopped NEWSWEEK, CBS, or the NYTimes. Stop me when you see a trend, PL.
"And if the Bush Administration says they are liberal leaning, then I guess they are"
Who's talking about the Bush Admin? And why are you coming off so defensive? Still bitter?
Hopefully the documentary shows who the real Border Bandits were. The robber barons, the shysters, who stole land from hard working Texans. Ones who lived here before the rio grande crosed THEM. The same people that the "treaty of Hidalgo" somewhow overlooked. The same people who owned the King Ranch, and South Padre Island. And no i'm not related to Rebecca Balli-Sexton-Gomez (I won't mention crack THIS time). The same people who were killed by Texas Rangers hired by the same thieves with their carpetbags. I've got my old VCR on the ready. Thanks for letting me in know in advance as to what should be a good topic. As far as liberals, I'm liberal with my actions, my kids and am fairly tolerant of others, except for those few people who NO ONE likes, but I'm ultra conservative with my hard earned but easily spent taxes.. Dijo...
The documentary reflects an important problem of that time and hopefully will note the role of Brownsville's own J.T. Canales who took on the Texas Rangers during that period. J.T. Canales was the first Hispanic elected to the Texas Legislature from the Valley. During his five terms in the Texas House, he confronted the Texas Rangers over their treachery along the border and forced the Rangers to reorganize. Hopefully this PBS special will accurately reflect the events of that time. I encourage readers to view the program and not get entangled with a stupid discussion over "liberalism". Most here in the Valley know little of our history.
What will the EVIL Chris write about now? I have a recommendation. Let’s get to know this new commissioner. I don’t know the guy but he’s my (district 4) commissioner. If he doesn’t act right he will know me well. Who is he and why did he want to be a commissioner at such an early age? Will he strive to work with others or will he go the way of longoria and betancourt?
Enquiring minds want to know.
