Gov. Jon Huntsman (R) may have vetoed HB 353, the Jack Thompson-devised video game bill, but the debate over the bill certainly hasn't ended.
Thompson recently spent two hours bashing the Guv, Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff and the video game industry on the Utah Eagle Forum Radio Show.
A caller gets into a heated argument with Thompson and the program host at about 30 minutes into the second hour. A second caller gets into it with Thompson and the host right at the end of the second hour.
Of note, we didn't hear the word "disbarred" during the two-hour program.
You can catch the program here: Hour 1 Hour 2
HB 353 sponsor Rep. Mike Morley (R) debates the merits of the bill with Sean Bersell, VP of Public Affairs on Inside Utah Politics (fast forward to 28:00).
Gayle Ruzicka, president of the Utah Eagle Forum, urges an override of Huntsman's veto on yet another episode.

Re: Video Game Bill Fuels Conservative Talk Radio in Utah
Yeah, I supose you're right about that. The far Left is just as bad as the far Right. I particularly hate it when the liberals paint all religious people as fundamentalist nutjobs. I'm agnostic myself, but I don't hate people that are Christian.
While some might disagree with me, I've found most NPR programming to be moderate. Yes, they have a slight liberal leaning, but they also seem to give equal time to opposing views.

"Meh, I don't have the willpower to listen to 2 hours of conservative talk radio. I'll just assume that it's a bunch of zealots yelling passionately about nothing, turning it into something, and gettting easily lead sheep all riled up. I unfortunately have a roommate that listens to Alex Jones in the afternoons, and while it's not exactly "conservative" (more like anti-government conspiracy theory), I get the jist of what talk radio has devolved into."
It can't be too conservative, they are getting news reports from CNN. Grandmother is on the far right and won't go near CNN.

Heh, you know, most game critics seem to look older and more stressed than those who don't raise a stink about it.

Old people used to sit out on the porch and complain about how different and scary the world has become, leaving them behind. Turns out that listening to old farts complain about those "darn kids and thier rock and roll" is good for ratings.

More pathetic bitching and moaning from the Metropolitian Moron of Miami. Bashing a highly popular Governor is not help your cause one bit, then again the biggest detremient to said "cause" has been Thompson himself.
Geaux Saints, Geaux Tigers, Geaux Hornets, Jack Thompson can geaux chase a chupacabra.
Geaux Saints, Geaux Tigers, Geaux Hornets. Solidarity for the Saints = No retreat, no surrender. Even through the darkest days, this fire burns always.
