Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known worldwide as the South's foremost populous radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
All right, everybody.
Welcome back to the third and final hour of what has been an absolutely exhilarating, exhausting, uplifting broadcast of the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
Broadcasting to you live tonight this Saturday evening, September 29th, from our flagship radio station in Memphis, Tennessee, going out to AMF and affiliates of the Liberty News Radio Network and simulcasting online to a truly worldwide audience of global listeners at the political cesspool.org.
Tonight's show's been so busy.
As soon as I leave the studio tonight, I'm going to go out and get a shot of sweet tea and go home and tuck my baby into bed and call it a night, I guess.
Go to church in the morning.
That's what all extremists do, right?
Well, that's what I'm going to do.
Anyway, joining me, we've been pumping up his appearance over the course of the opening two hours of tonight's broadcast.
Our featured guest for the evening is Paul Fromm, very good friend of mine, a man who I've been collaborating with since this show's very inception.
He's been appearing with us since 2004.
He does great work, and we're happy to be in league with him.
Paul Fromm, of course, is the director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression.
He also heads up Canada First Immigration Reform Group.
And he's on with us to report on recent outrages by the Canada Border Service Agency, the CSBA, operating as politically correct thought police and seizing books and pamphlets carried by travelers inbound to Canada.
And as Paul sent out to his email list earlier tonight, among recent seizures is a copy of racism from Acism.
That's my book, been deemed as hate propaganda and has been seized by the Canadian Border Authorities, the smug, self-righteous heirs of Red China, I guess.
Paul, thank you, first of all, for bringing me up to speed on this breaking news story and for making yourself available on such short notice to shed more light to it, my friend.
Well, you're more than welcome, James, and I wish it was a matter of being able to bring you good news.
We don't expect that around here.
No, the war for freedom of speech, I'm afraid, is never over.
You know, it doesn't matter what fine protections you might have in a constitution or a charter of rights and freedoms as we have in Canada.
As long as you've got totalitarian-minded people who want to determine what somebody else can read or own or see, we've got a problem.
So, basically, one of the major problems in Canada in terms of free speech, and I guess it's really the one that concerns us tonight, is the power of our customs, or now they call themselves the Canadian Border Service Association,
but their power to seize material and to deny it entry, to confiscate it on the basis that it's pornography or hate propaganda.
Not all your audience may agree with this.
I don't believe in any censorship laws.
James, I don't care whether it's about sex or about politics or race or history.
I think adults should have the right to express themselves whether it's in videotape or pamphlet or book or booklet or whatever.
But what we're really concerned about here tonight is politics.
And so our customs, I guess give them a short form, have the right to examine people coming into Canada, whether they're foreigners or Canadian.
And the case I'm talking about is Canadian.
And determine whether the goods that they're bringing with them are prohibited in some way.
Now, of course, there's a long list of prohibited goods, certain types of weapons, drugs, endangered species, and so on.
But we're not talking about that.
We're talking basically about literature.
And so the situation that is being brought to my attention in my role as the director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression involves a fellow who seems to really have been targeted.
He's a young guy, and he was returning on July the 8th after a meeting of the Council of Conservative Citizens, with which we're both involved, James.
And of course, we broadcast live that night.
That was down in Nashville.
Right.
And when he returned that time, he had a number of publications with him, all of which were seized as potential hate propaganda.
For instance, there was a DVD called the Frankfurt School.
That's about a conspiratorial group of communists who were involved in Germany and then transferred to the United States in the 1930s.
And this group of people, intellectuals, lay behind a lot of the movements that have caused so much trouble in America today.
The radical feminist movement, the homosexual so-called rights movement, the attack on historical figures, and so on.
So I've seen this video.
I've shown it in Canada.
It's a great video.
Well, that was seized.
Also seized was the, well, it comes out just three times a year.
It's a newspaper of the Council of Conservative Citizens called The Citizens of the Former.
Also seized was something called the Occasional Papers of the Conservative Citizens Foundation.
And this is a kind of a scholarly series of studies.
This one was called Preemptive Ideology.
Also seized was a booklet, and that booklet was a speech by the late Senator Jesse Holmes about the Martin Luther King holiday and its meme.
I met Senator Helms, but I was particularly incensed at the seizure of this booklet because it was forwarded by Sam Francis, who I guess you and I both knew some years ago prior to his death.
Also seized was something called the First Freedom Newspapers.
It was published in Alabama.
And another thing that was seized was called the Alabamian.
And that's kind of a newsletter put out by the Alabama Council of Conservative Citizens.
And I know the editor well, Leonard Wilson in North Alabama.
And it consists basically of interesting newspaper clippings kind of pasted together and put out in newsletter form.
And these items were all seized and some determination supposed to be made within 60 days.
Now, although 60 days have come and gone, the person who was the victim of this seizure has not yet been informed.
But the point is, he is out these goods.
These are his property.
And he does not have the use of them.
Well, he was down at another.
meeting in the United States and coming back about Paul, I hate to interrupt.
I know you're laying out the case here, but we're coming up on a commercial break.
We're going to recap what you have explained to the audience thus far and then pick it up as we're leaving off right now.
When the political session returns after these words from our sponsors, we're on the line tonight with our featured guest, my good friend Paul Fromm, director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression, and he will be back with us right after this.

Jump in the Political Cess Pool with James and the Game.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cess Pool, James Edwards.
All right, everybody, we're back with Paul Fromm, Director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression.
He is very detailed in laying out his case for the topic that has brought him back to the show tonight.
Of course, Paul, a good friend of mine, been appearing on this show since day one, and for good reason.
Paul, I'm actually fielding your fan mail right now.
Listener in Southern California has written in to tell me what a great guest you are and what a tireless advocate for the freedom of speech you are.
That is Don in Southern California.
And Don, I agree with you, my friend, and welcome you to the show.
Glad you're tuned in.
And of course, we're all glad that Paul Fromm is with us tonight.
As always, we wish it could be under better circumstances, but we are here and we're going to battle through the good times and the bad times.
Paul, well, that's it, James.
We have had a lot of successes on the free speech front in Canada.
We've gotten at least one of the two laws under which they can restrict the internet repeal.
But it's an endless battle.
But going back to my story, I was talking about this fellow who was detained and had some really innocuous literature confiscated back in July.
Well, he was down in the United States again in mid-September and on his way back.
This is what was confiscated as potential hate propaganda.
Ten copies of something I published called the Canadian Immigration Hotline, which is basically an ongoing survey of outrages and abuses of Canada's immigration system.
A flyer called Saving Eagles Library.
Now, this is an art gallery and library near Sevierville, Tennessee, belonging to Ingrid Rimland, who is a prominent activist.
This is a flyer.
And then finally, I think the thing probably the most, well, two things that probably most interest you, your book, Racism-Schmecism, and this young fellow's laptop.
All of those, CEC doesn't have the use of them now.
They will be examined for potential hate propaganda.
And at some point, there'll be some sort of decision.
You know, people say, well, okay, well, but what are they looking for?
What do they mean by hate?
Well, on the seizure form, they actually kick off a couple of things that give you an idea.
For instance, it might be hate if it blames a privileged group for serious economic or social problems.
Now, when I say privileged, this would be race, religion, sex, sexual orientation.
So if the literature blames one of these groups for serious economic or social problems, well, that makes a whole lot of areas difficult to discuss.
I'm not sure all that was in your book, Racism-Schmecism.
I've sold it.
I've had trouble selling it in Canada.
If you suggest, for instance, that perhaps blacks have a higher crime rate in the United States than whites do, that might well run afoul of this, blaming, in this case, a particular group, for serious economic or social problems.
Well, basically, Paul, I will tell you, if it's anything like, and I know you are Canadian, you're a very prominent Canadian activist, a very famous Canadian activist, and that is not to blow smoke at you in any way whatsoever.
It's just the truth.
You're very well known in Canada for being a champion of freedom of speech and expression issues.
And as a Canadian, you traveled to the United States to speak and to lecture quite often.
We've hosted you in Memphis on several occasions.
But if it's anything in Canada like it is here, my friend, you'll know that if you objectively criticize any minority group, if you do basically anything except lavish uncensored praise upon them, I have a feeling they're going to frown upon that which you may be reading or carrying or thinking in this case.
No, exactly.
And the dangerous thing is that facts may have nothing to do with it.
Another category that was checked was this.
A particular group weakens or threatens society.
Well, again, I'm not sure all of the authors in the literature.
This might not affect the immigration hotline that I published, but it might or might not have applied to what you wrote.
Supposing you discuss the homosexual agenda and say that going along with, for instance, homosexual marriage, the blurring of the distinction between the sexes, the roles of the sexes, is bad for society, which I believe.
I'm pretty sure you believe that too, Jameson.
That might run afoul of this category.
I mean, these are simple-minded, broad categories, and some semi-inliterate person taking a quick look at the literature would say, oh, he's saying something negative about Negroes.
Oh, he's saying something negative about homosexuals.
We'll keep it.
Now, that's part of my objection to this type of legislation.
It allows the seizure, and that means the loss of a person's use of that material until it can be adjudicated farther up the line in Ottawa.
And depending on what the ruling is, if it's favorable, well, okay, good.
He gets his literature back, having lost the use of it for a while.
If it's negative, then the decision has to be formed.
But I don't think free men and women should have to parse and argue or defend their opinions to the government.
I think that sort of debate should go on among people.
You and I can have a debate about something like this, but it shouldn't be up to the government to decide that's a forbidden opinion.
Racism, schmazement goes into the furnace.
Well, you know, we were commenting previously before you appeared, Paul.
You know, this is the kind of stuff of Stalinist Russia, of Maoist China, thought suppression, the banning of books and ideas.
I mean, all of the things that they accuse us of propagating, they are, in fact, doing themselves.
And the double standard never occurs to them.
Yeah, yes, you know, that's absolutely right.
You know, we in the West are very smug, I think.
Canada certainly is, and our media very much is always preaching, or I mean fairly often preaching, and I would say rightly so, at Communist China for its restrictions on free speech.
I know that several of our major papers editorialized against what was happening to a particular Chinese artist named Wei Wei.
Now, this fellow is world famous, and he made some criticism of the communist Chinese after the Summer Olympics four years ago.
And at that time, he was put in jail for several months, three months, to fire a call crypt.
And then when he was let out, he was stripped of his political rights for one year, which meant that for a year he couldn't give foreign interviews.
He basically became a non-person.
Well, we have put people under brutal restrictions from the use of the internet for years on end in Canada.
The media doesn't seem to have any interest in that.
And this wholesale power of Canada customs to seize literature and to declare it hate propaganda, to my way of thinking, is exactly the sort of thing that's done in communist China.
We condemn it when it's done over there.
When it's done over here, at least in Canada, the press most of the time just gives a big collective horse yawn.
They're just not interested at all.
And I think that's really bad, that restriction on free speech.
Well, to say the least.
Paul, I hate to interrupt you again, but I know we only had you booked for about 30 minutes tonight, which is now come and gone.
Would you have the time to stay with us through the commercial break for one more segment?
Because I have some wrap-ups.
Absolutely.
That I'd like to get to you.
All right.
Thank you so much.
Ladies and gentlemen, Paul Fromm going to be with us through the break.
So stay tuned and more to come with him on the political cesspool.

We gotta get out of it.
Folks, I have to say, as biased as I may be, and I feel this way about every show.
You know, people ask me which guest was my favorite, which show was your favorite.
Well, it's like picking between your kids.
I mean, you just can't do it.
They're all my favorite.
But I will say that this has been, without a doubt, one of the best shows of the year, one of the hardest hitting shows of the year.
And the fact that Paul Fromm is our guest right now certainly adds to its luster.
Director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression.
Talking about not one, but two incidents of a gentleman being stopped and detained by Canadian border authorities, his material being seized.
And we're talking about, frankly, very mainstream material.
You know, when you're talking about my book, the overall thesis of my book is that basically a racist is what anyone is called if you disagree with them in political discourse.
Republicans accuse Democrats of being racist.
Democrats accuse Republicans of being racist.
My book was written in the style of Dare I Say Sean Hannity.
It's a very mainstream book.
And anyone who has read it can attest to that.
And Paul was talking about some of the other items along with my book that were seized.
A Flyer for an Art Gallery, speeches by Senator Jesse Helms, the very mainstream Frankfurt School video put out by the Council of Conservative Citizens.
Paul Fromm's own newsletter.
I have read all of these items, ladies and gentlemen, over the course of my life.
And there's no reason that they should be seized and confiscated.
And Paul, I just want to offer to the audience that the gentleman who is under investigation now for having these materials is not a known accomplice of ours or a known associate.
He may be the best of men.
He may be someone that we wouldn't hang out with in normal company.
But the fact of the matter is that you heard about that, heard about these manifestations because you are so prominent in Canada as an advocate for freedom of expression.
And that is how you caught wind of it.
But let me ask you.
When people run into trouble like this, I'm one of the people they tend to approach because I've championed a great many people up here who have had their free speech rights curtailed or attacked.
And sometimes we get directly involved in vacuum.
In other cases, we try to get media attention.
In other cases, we try to find them an attorney.
That's how I came to know of it.
But I'm confident.
First of all, I have the documents.
I've been sent the notices of detention.
We talk about detention, but actually confiscation.
And so this is not a matter of rumor or word of mouth.
I've got that solidly in front of me.
And I'm also very confident of the material.
You yourself are aware of a lot of it.
You wrote racism, Schmaisism.
You've contributed to the Citizens Informer.
So we're talking about solid, they're sure opinionated, but solid political material.
And it's not just whether or not in the end these things will be ruled hate propaganda.
I can't tell.
My guess is probably not.
But it's the fact that they are seized, that the individual in question goes through the stress, humiliation, and so on.
And the loss of these materials for however long, months, perhaps maybe even longer.
And I mentioned just before the break there, the books will be destroyed.
One of the people we tried to help a few years ago talked about a book from, had a book by Dr. David Duke seized.
And he asked the people at the customs, well, okay, once you've decided whether it's hate propaganda or it isn't, and they decided it was.
A prominent American writer, they decided that was hate propaganda.
He said, well, what happens to it?
He was told, well, you can mail it back to the publisher.
Well, he said, okay, I'd like to do that.
But you can't, he said.
He was told you can't because you can't send hate to the Canadian mails.
Oh, okay.
How would I get it back?
Well, there really would be no other way.
Well, then what happens to it?
Well, he says he was told it would be destroyed.
We said, how?
Oh, it's burned.
Now, you and I both know that, you know, going back to the time we were knee-high to a grasshopper, we were told about the horrible book burnings in Nazi Germany, what a terrible thing it was, and book burning such an outrageous affront to literature and to free thought.
And I agree.
I agree.
Burning books is a disgusting thing.
Well, we do it in Canada.
That's exactly what happens to literature that is deemed to be hate propaganda.
It's forwarded to the government and they burn it.
So we've got book burners in Ottawa.
And I think this is something that if you're a concerned American, if you don't like what you're hearing, I urge you to phone the Canadian Consulate or the Canadian Embassy in Washington on Monday and give them a piece of your mind.
Just say, I might be reluctant to come to Canada as a tourist.
I don't want to go through the hassle of having some brain-dead half-wit go through the literature in my suitcase and decide whether something might be hate propaganda.
I don't need that crap.
I thought I'm not going to communist Cuba.
I think a lot of us underestimate the strength we have.
It's a complaint.
Our enemies are very good at this.
The politically correct enemies that I know are constantly giving your show a hard time, James have no problem with getting on the blower or typing off an email or a letter of complaint.
I think sometimes we, well, because we're freedom lobbers, it's not really in our nature to, you know, we may not like what somebody else does, but we say, well, whatever, whatever.
But I think we have to be a little more militant about complaining when we're not happy.
You know, certainly I have always said that we need to mimic the tactics of the left because they have been effective, for better or for worse.
And almost without exception, it's been for the worst.
But, Paul, I got to tell you, you have just given an absolutely exquisite commentary tonight in breaking down this issue.
And I know in talking to you before the show on the phone, when you were filling me in on a lot of this, you said that obviously there are differences between America and Canada when it comes to our First Amendment.
You obviously don't have that explicitly.
There are differences with freedom of speech and association and even thought.
What Canada has, the government of America is trying to get.
But Canada is a little further along down the road of totalitarianism than we are at this point.
But even by Canada standards, the objects that were seized, my book included, as you put it, couldn't be put in the list of hate propaganda, at least by objective assessors.
Of course, we don't live in an objective society anymore.
But let me just ask you this question, Paul, before we run out of time.
If worse comes to worse, and they say, you know what, that speech you heard from Jesse Helms is hate literature.
Racism is hate literature.
What penalties could this gentleman who brought these items into the country, into your country, Canada, what penalties could he face?
Well, for merely being in possession of it, no further penalty than the loss of his property, which he bought or was given or whatever.
So that would be the maximum penalty.
Okay, so there is no, I was mistaken earlier in thinking that it was jail time or a possible fine and or jail time.
He wouldn't suffer that for just being in possession of it.
That's what you're saying now.
Not for being in possession.
All right, then I stay in correct.
They could have perhaps go further if they thought he was importing it for the sale and they wanted to have a full-blown trial on this under our hate law.
The problem is there are defenses under the hate law.
So what the customs do, and this is why censorship is so evil, this is a bully tactic.
They take it.
You know that to actually take it to court, if they rule against you, would cost you $20,000 to $40,000, perhaps.
If you lose, you pay the government's costs as well.
So to fight for, you know, let's say to protect racism, schmashma, which might cost, what, $20, you know, it's utterly impractical, impossible for the average individual.
So the fact is, they get to exercise this arbitrary power.
They seize the material.
If they determine it's not hate, you get it back.
Or you may get it back in pretty damaged form, but you'll get it back at some point.
If you don't get it back, you can appeal internally.
And that's where I can help this fellow.
I can write in what you might call a bureaucratic level appeal.
If that may win, that may succeed.
But if it doesn't succeed, the only recourse then is a trial, which is extremely costly.
And they know that.
But they hold out about little books and DVDs and CDs.
They're of relatively small value.
And to go to court to fight for them is very costly.
And So this is what you might call a backdoor form of setting shipment.
Paul, again, we're out of time.
We're running out of time.
Very quickly, and I want to thank you so much for coming on the show tonight.
We have about five seconds left.
Give the website for Canadian Association for Free Expression so people can contact you.

Yeah, I'd be very glad to pass that on.

Welcome back.
To get on the Political Cesspool, call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cess Pool, James Edwards.
Folks, it's hard to believe that another show has nearly come and gone.
This hour has gone by incredibly fast with Paul Fromm as our guest.
Peter Scoop Stanton, political accessible correspondent, is waiting in the wings.
But first, we want to properly and officially wrap up tonight's featured interview with Paul Fromm, director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression.
Been a riveting hour-long interview with Paul, who has stayed on for extended play this evening.
And Paul, right before that last break cut us off, I was asking you to, by all means, and please give the URL for your website so people can contact you, offer their support to you, and learn more about your work.
Yeah, I'll be glad to, James.
So if you're interested in our free speech battle in Canada, our website is http://slash cafe.
That's C-A-F-E dot nfshost.com.
So that's once again, HTTP://C-A-F-E dot NFSHOST.com.
And that's the Canadian Association for Free Expression.
And be glad to have you come on board to offer your help or learn more about what's going on.
Paul, I hope that people will do that, and we certainly encourage them to do so.
Thanks again for bringing word of this to our attention and for all the good work you do, my friend, on these vital issues with regards to our freedom of expression in Canada, America, and abroad.
Paul Fromm, certainly a hero for our people.
And Paul, we count down the days until you return to our show.
Well, thank you very much, and all the very best.
All right, there he is, ladies and gentlemen, Paul Fromm.
And for those of you who have tuned in late, this interview will be available on our broadcast archives.
We encourage you to check it out.
Peter Scoop Stanton here to bat cleanup.
Well, not cleanup.
No, no, no, no.
He's not the cleanup batter.
Pete Scoop Stanton is the closer, the closer of tonight's show, as he is customarily, the last guest of any given evening.
And let's see what he has in store for us on this particular one.
Pete, what do you got?
Good evening, James.
Good evening, Cesspool family.
This week on the Judge Report and numerous other websites, there's a YouTube clip about somebody in the Cleveland, Ohio area talking about Obama phones, how low-income people, people in disability, Social Security, whatever, are able to get these free cell phones.
Well, just to give a reminder about two years ago, the political cesspool broke the story.
Ladies and gentlemen, you pay for these phones through taxes collected through your basic cable, internet, and telephone, and cellular phone providers.
So they're not Obama phones, not government phones.
They are your phones.
That's number one.
Number two with the election cycle.
Do not, I repeat, do not believe the polls numbers you get from the mainstream media.
Yours truly, and everybody else from the Political Assess Pool hosting staff will not be voting for either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney.
However, in Virginia, which is a Battleground state, the county I live in is a very, very, very blue county.
Every other house with the election campaign poster out front is for Romney.
Now, this is like campaigning for James Edward on the Upper East side of Manhattan.
So don't believe the poll numbers, but either way, we lose.
Yours truly had a Ron Paul sign on the front of his house until the elements just got to it.
Unfortunately, I had to give it a proper burial.
Back to you, James.
A very good start to the night, Scoop, as far as your, well, I would say weekly.
You know, Dr. Tom Sell was on for a few months straight there for a while.
And I know, unlike our detractors, you have to work for a living and you work nights quite a bit.
So therefore, there's been a time or two here in recent weeks that you have not been able to join us.
But on a normal week, let me put it that way, you are the one who closes out the show, the final segment of the final hour.
Peter Scoop Staten, that is his time.
And you have come through with a couple of very interesting stories, which highlights a very interesting evening here in the Cesspool Scoop.
And I know that you spend a few minutes of every day at thepolitical Cesspool.org.
What do you make of the two big stories tonight?
My book being seized, which we've talked about this hour in Canada, and the Democratic Party of North Carolina, at least one of the county Democratic apparatuses there in North Carolina, writing a resolution condemning our good work.
James, I'm speechless.
Could you run that first story about your book in Canada again?
Well, if you tuned in late, and apparently even sometimes our correspondents do so.
Well, it's what Paul Fromm was talking about there just a moment ago.
In Canada, a gentleman was flying back in to Canada from the United States.
He had bought a copy of my book somewhere, and it was in his luggage, and they seized it and are investigating him now for having it.
And they said that was hate propaganda.
And then, of course, the issue with Walter Jones apparently a month later is still evergreen.
And the Democratic Party of a certain county in North Carolina has written a resolution condemning our show for what good it does.
James, I'm sorry.
I'm just absolutely speechless.
I can't believe the Canadian authorities seized your book, which is more or less, if anything, it's a parody.
I mean, your book never says, you know, this group is better than that group, that we need to, you know, take these people out.
It's just a parody.
And for Canadian authorities to start seizing books, I mean, next thing you know, RCMPs want to have a book planning party with thousands of copies of racism-spaces.
Well, that's what, you know, I apologize, Scoop.
I shouldn't have put in you, I shouldn't have put you in the compromising position.
In fact, I know now you are at work this evening, and we had not yet put that up on the website, as this was a breaking story as the show was going on real time about what happened in Canada.
And this gentleman had, you know, gotten at an airport, arrived at an airport at his destination in Canada.
They found the book and its luggage, seized it, said it was hate propaganda, so on and so forth.
Now this gentleman is facing an investigation as Paul Fromm, the director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression, just explained to us on the show.
I know you're at work tonight.
You didn't get a chance to hear that earlier, nor would you have had a chance to read that earlier on the website because we had not yet posted it.
So this is news to you.
So again, you had no idea before I brought it up to you that this had occurred.
But yes, and that's something that Paul Fromm mentioned, that they take books that they deem as hate literature and burn them in Canada.
And so a fiery fate may await my own title here in the next few days in our neighbor to the north.
Right.
Now, I missed the Fromm interview.
Now, is there a group that could fight on, like, your behalf since you wrote the book?
Well, that is Paul Fromm, which is why he was on.
He is well known in Canada for his work as director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression, for taking on these cases and instances.
But, yeah, so that's basically, I didn't mean to startle you there.
I guess I just assumed that I knew about it.
Everyone else must know about it too.
But yes, it hadn't been on the website.
You hadn't tuned into the show because you are at work this evening.
You've taken a break to phone in.
So anyway, that's the news from our neighbor to the north.
And so now you are a prize as everyone else is as well.
Right.
I'll have a comment next week.
As opposed for the county commissioners talking trash about the political festival, you know, look in your own backyard.
I'm sure they have crime in their neighborhood.
The schools are falling apart.
They're looking away to shake down taxpayers to increase their revenue or their tax base.
I mean, the Political Festival is a radio show.
And to take time out to condemn the political festival is just a waste of taxpayers' time.
And I'd just love to see how that functioning government body is working in terms of infrastructure, schools, tax base, public safety, public transportation.
You know, I'll do some research and I'll try to give a report next week.
Yeah, I'll get it all to you.
And you've been a champ, my friend, for taking this on the fly and just running with it.
But I appreciate your contributions tonight, Scoop, as we do always.
And in fact, Scoop forwarded on to me a couple of items we talked about earlier in the show.
The issue pertaining to Samuel L. Jackson and the very vulgar, offensive ad for Obama's reelection and the Whoopee Goldberg and Culture on the View story.
Both of those were items that were scouted out by Peter Scoop Stanton, our intrepid correspondents, and sent over to us for insertion into the radio program and our website.
So Scoop doing things behind the scenes that most people don't know about, but that we certainly appreciate and recognize and give him all the credit for.
Many of the stories you find at thepolitical Cesspool.org at any given day were uncovered by Peter Scoop Stanton and sent over to us for commentary.
He's doing a good job for this show each and every week.
Scoop, thanks so much for your contributions.
No problem.
I just wish I could give a monetary contribution, but I'm back to rolling pennies for gasoline.
As we all are, my friend.
Thanks so much, buddy.
We'll talk to you next time.
Okay, sing here.
All right, everybody, that was Peter Scoop Stanton, correspondent for the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
Been working with us for many, many years.
That is our show for tonight, everybody.
We'll be back with you next time here, exclusively on the Liberty News Radio Network.
I tell you, every day brings another story in the Cesspool.
So between now and next Saturday, who knows what we'll be?
But you can keep up with it all, real time at thepolitical cesspool.org.
Until then, live life the way we do with that retreat surrender or apology.
