Yes I know Skinny, but that sight does not contain any information on newscasts that have not yet happened. When it does contain that information then I will post the link directly to it (I am assuming that the information will show up after the schedualed broadcast assuming they don't back out of it)

I know we are all upset about the current political BS. However that doesn't mean somebody should be dismissive to anybody else when the post, NOR should anybody be jumping the gun at this point. (Thats why I like HC we tend to have more level headed folks on for the most part)

BPs statement was
Quote:
Channel 11 News in Houston, Texas has announced that on the Thursday night news they will have an expose about spies working in the Houston area and that you need to be watching your neighbor, to see if they are a spy.
That is a statement of fact. He saw (as did I) an advertisement for a newscast on Thursday night on TV. This is not opinion, this is a FACT about an ad. Period.

He then extrapilated a response

Quote:
He hasn't even been sworn in yet and its already started with the Civilian Defence Force (CDF)(Aka Gestopo!) trying to get people to spy on each other.
that statement was made under the assumption that the broadcast would indeed show the information that it claimed it was going to show, and linked such information to what has happened in the past in world history.

Still no jumping the gun at this point by any party. BP excercised freedom of speech and the mental power of linking two events that have already been compared by a large number of people, inlcuding MT who recognized that the Nazis did this in the 30s and Billy who simply made a statement of sarcasam (well earned sarcasm we all feel I might add) towards the Obama camp.

At this point justwannano asked a PRUDENT question. Could this instead be related to the boarder infiltrations? But also asked for linkage to a site. It is not yet available on a site as the broadcast has not happened. My response could have been taken the wrong way as my frustration with the recent string of "Prove it with a link" statements having been made by various posters and responders. This is frustrating to me because the general assumption seems to be if you don't have a link it didn't happen. Justwannano responded in kind, and I took offense at the dismissive tone and use of the "chicken little" analogy particularly directed at me since I work hard to be open minded until the facts are proved.

At any rate this whole ball of wax is probably my fault in the end. No offense ment to anybody at all.

As soon as the Channel 11 story gets posted I will link it (or as soon as I am on afterwards) I only get the channel once in a blue moon when the sky is clear and it is cold (had it most of this week so far), so with my luck I will probably have to watch it recorded or online (assuming it makes it that far)

Thanks
