However, Etheridge aside, it was nonmusicians at this concert who made the most passionate pleas about demanding action for the environment. "Get rid of all these rotten politicians that we have in Washington, who are nothing more than corporate toadies," said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the environmentalist author, president of Waterkeeper Alliance and Robert F. Kennedy's son, who grew hoarse from shouting. "This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors."That seems more like a threat than a plea.
So when liberal political advocates and lobbyists urge giving prison time and hanging to those with whom they have disagreements, they're "passionate." When hawks note that Democrats have been advocating the defeat of the US Military in Iraq to pick up Senate seats, the subversion of Bush's foreign policy with rouge diplomacy and leaks of classified information to the press, the overreach of Congress into the Constitutional territory of the Executive Branch in military matters, etc., they're called "extreme," "wingnuts," and "fascists."
Funny, that. Its OK, though. NBC assured us all that their fawning and slobbering coverage of Live Earth was in no way indicative of their approval of a "political" viewpoint. Algore, RFK Jr., myriads of foul-mouthed "artists," etc. are all politically "neutral."
