This past weekend, I had a conversation about extending the Bush tax cuts with a proud member of New York City’s Left.

I was called the usual names—unfair and ally of the rich—because I voiced that taxes shouldn’t be raised on anyone during times of economic distress. He retorted that “the rich” could stand to lose a few bucks.

That sort of thinking turns my stomach, to tell you the truth.

Emily Miller wrote a great piece today over at Human Events about the soon-to-be Obama/MTV infomercial. (Oops, I mean town hall meeting)

The kids at MTV claim that this event is not political–and that there is no need to provide equal time to a Republican.

From Human Events:

MTV denies that the Obama hour of TV is political, despite the timing, weeks before the midterm elections.

Later in the article, the Viacom mouthpiece was asked if the questions will be screened.

Asked if the audience questions are submitted in advance, McAndrew said “absolutely not.”

I didn’t believe that for a second. So I called my contact at MTV and asked for some of the Obama questions.(And I made a request for them to play a Lita Ford video, yeah I loved her back in 1988)

Just as I suspected, the questions–much like the people entering the town hall–are pre-selected by MTV. Here are some of the questions that were sent to me by my MTV source: CONTINUE
