Wrong. Limbaugh has dropped from first to 37th in the ratings in Los 
Angeles and from fifth to 22nd in New York. Spanish language stations 
and NPR draw more listeners than he does. His average listener is 66 
going on dead.

And before you dismiss those as liberal havens (which wouldn't explain 
how he got to first or fifth in those markets, anyway), his ratings in 
Jacksonville have fallen 35 percent, in Houston/Galvestion 31 percent, 
in Seattle/Tacoma 40 percent.

Stick a fork in him, he's done. And right-wing hate radio will follow 
him down the drain.

Does the dictionary entry for "hypocrite" have a picture of you?

Better check your own dictionary before you post again, Barry my lad.

You'll note that a hypocrite is a person who pretends to have virtues, 
moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not 
actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.

If you look at my post, it's obvious that my actions and beliefs are all 
consistent. eh?

I am curious about something though. Your sig mentions MIT. Were you 
actually a student there-- or just a part-time janitor? Maybe walked by 
the campus one time on your way to the free clinic?

it shows that he lives on the estate that bears the family name and

What was that about checking dictionaries?

Pretty amazing how comments on changes to the UI in Firefox degraded to
to discrimination/racist debate on the very first reply and nwo down to
Klu Klux Klan.

Mozilla resolved the image problem by getting the problem CEO to leave.
 Whether you agree with him or not, he was openly controversial, and
that affected Mozilla's image and focus on improvements. So it is good
he left. And the purpose of him leaving is exactly so that people would
stop bringing up that issue. Seems some people are very bitter about it
since it is the first thing they bring up when one tries to discuss the
major changes in UI that came with 29.

BTW, 29.0.1 brings substantial performance improvements and smaller
memory footprint.  28 would rapidly grow to 5 gigs of RAM and low down,
but 29.0.1 is still below 1.5 gigs for same number of windows.

Well, one of the first replies was from a consivertard asshole bragging
about how he checks people for their politics before hiring them. Of
course, he's never hired anybody or help a job that pays more than
minimum wage (and that for only three weeks), but he is still a
consivatard asshole.

> Mozilla resolved the image problem by getting the problem CEO to leave.

And that was the consivetard's objection, that they fired the
controversial CEO. That's why he blocks access to his site (supposedly)
for all Firefox users.

You appear to condemn Mozilla for using political beliefs in their 
hiring and firing decisions, yet you say that you would do the same 
thing.

"Block it from accessing our websites"

Why would anyone do such a self defeating thing?

Because you're gay, it doesn't make me gay, Asswipe.

Do you want to get popped up the ass?  Would you want a strap-on, or

LOL. Yes, that's why gay women are gay - they're afraid of penises. Well
done sherlock :-D

I realise you have to be a moron to still be a bigot nowadays, but don't
you're think you're being just a tad obviously with the stupidity? Maybe
try being a more subtly stupid, eh? Well I suppose that would require a
degree of sophistication...

We're not afraid of them; our reaction to them spans the range of
indifference to disgust, but not fear.
