I'm doing my Monday shoutfest on Radio America's Battle Line with Alan Nathan right now.

To hear me shout and get shouted at by the likes of Wash Times/McLaughlin Group stalwart Tony Blankley and Americans for Tax Reform's Grover Norquist, go here.

  2. Ken Shultz   20 years ago

    I could have sworn I heard him call Nick an "amnesiac". ...and I think he called him that because the Berlin Wall and the... ...the border of Mexico. ...no, I don't have the slightest idea what those have to do with each other. ...but if you don't remember the Berlin Wall--then you're an amnesiac!

  4. Ken Shultz   20 years ago

    That would be fine dhex, but how does the Great Wall of China fit in?

    ...if you don't remember the Great Wall, then you're an amnesiac!

    "To hear me shout and get shouted at by the likes of Wash Times/McLaughlin Group stalwart Tony Blankley and Americans for Tax Reform's Grover Norquist"

    I'd rather have my nostrils reamed out with a potato pealer.

    Dear Nick,
    I laughed AT you tonight as you attempted to speak for the,"millions of Americans whose parents and grandparents immigrated" here and speak another language. Attempting to drone into the viewers that we all feel as you and we want a Spanish spoken/sung Star Spangled Banner. WE do not. If you are here illegally then you should not be here, period. Frankly I don't mind much when foreigners want to rewrite and sing our National Anthem as long as they are not attempting to subvert our AMERICAN CULTURE by turning it into theirs. Nice try Nick, but we are smarter than you think.
