The little Democrat Weasel Chris Dodd is a crook and a scoundrel who should be thrown out of congress head first just like his Fannie Mae buddy Barney Frank; they're like two peas in a pod. Although if you are ever caught in a pod with Barney Frank, you had better watch out for your peas, if you know what I mean.

Bill O'Rielly interviews Tom Scott about the radio interview that he had with the Honorable Senator Chris Dodd, honorable, ha ha.

Politically Charged Radio Interview Goes Viral

By RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA
Published: November 16, 2008

Internet rule of thumb: When something goes online, it spreads fast and keeps spreading, whether you like it or not.

A striking example came last week, when Clear Channel Communications tried to force a Web site in Connecticut to take down an audio recording, only to have the recording pop up on dozens — if not hundreds — of other sites within days.

On Oct. 28, Tom Scott, a talk radio host at a Clear Channel station, WELI-AM in New Haven, recorded a heated interview with Senator Christopher J. Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut. Mr. Scott, a former Republican state senator, accused Mr. Dodd of misconduct in getting a mortgage, which Mr. Dodd vehemently denied.

The station did not broadcast the interview as scheduled. Mr. Scott said the station had withheld the recording because of repeated clashes between him and a producer. He does not accuse the station of censorship, but does say that the producer wanted to be easier on Mr. Dodd.

Clear Channel confirms the dispute with the producer, and says WELI did not broadcast the interview because Mr. Scott quit. Mr. Scott said he left by mutual agreement, but after the station held up the broadcast.

Last Tuesday, the recording turned up on a local Internet news site, The New Haven Independent, along with an article about the episode at WELI.

The site received a letter from a lawyer for Clear Channel, stating that the recording belonged to the company and demanding that it be removed from the site, but that went about as well as the music industrys early attempts to stop file sharing.

Political Web sites, bloggers and other radio stations quickly picked up on the story, including at least one Clear Channel station, and some charged censorship. (That would have meant Clear Channel, known for mostly conservative talk radio, protecting a liberal Democrat.) They downloaded the recording from The Independent and posted it online or played it on the air, or simply posted links to The Independents site.

It crashed our server, said Paul Bass, managing editor of The Independent. Its by the far the heaviest traffic weve had.

Mr. Scott said, I got calls from all over the country from people wanting to interview me about what happened.

On Thursday, WELI broadcast the Dodd interview after all — to put to rest talk of censorship, a Clear Channel spokeswoman said.

This was just an attempt to protect intellectual property, she said. But it speaks to how incredibly hard it is to do that on the Internet.

Democrats, I used to be one, but I wised up, Dudd Dodd is just one example of the lying and cheating and tax evasion that has taken over the Democrat party. I will now vote for any Republican, can't be as bad as the liberals.

And yet another lie by dodd he just admitted he really did know along with oh I also have cancer. I predict he will use the cancer as a reason for not running in 2010.
