If by hypocritical you mean wanting to avoid a protracted legal tussle with the FCC, then yes.

...if they want to go after the bureaucrats I’m all for it.

And of course, they don’t.  Instead, they prefer to go after those who disagree with them politically.

More typical limosine liberal b.s. from the flying nun that defies both logic and history.

Queen Tomyris
Tomyris became queen of the Massegetai upon the death of her husband. Cyrus of Persia wanted her kingdom and offered to marry her for it, but she declined, so, of course, they fought each other, instead. Cyrus tricked the section of Tomyris’ army led by her son, who was taken prisoner and committed suicide. Then the army of Tomyris ranged itself against the Persians, defeated it, and killed King Cyrus

Queen Artemisia
Artemisia, queen of Herodotus’ homeland of Halicarnassus, gained renown for her brave, manly actions in the Greco-Persian Wars’ Battle of Salamis. Artemisia was a member of the Persian Great King Xerxes’ multi-national invading force.

Queen Boudicca
When her husband Prasutagus died, Boudicca became queen of the Iceni in Britain. For several months during A.D. 60-61 she led the Iceni in revolt against the Romans in response to their treatment of her and her daughters. She burned three major Roman towns, Londinium (London), Verulamium (St. Albans), and Camulodunum (Colchester). In the end, the Roman military governor Suetonius Paullinus suppressed the revolt.

Queen Zenobia
Third century queen of Palmyra (in modern Syria), Zenobia claimed Cleopatra as ancestor. Zenobia started as a regent for her son, but then claimed the throne, defying the Romans, and rode into battle against them. She was eventually defeated by Aurelian and probably taken prisoner.

Queen Elizabeth I
One of the most powerful women who ever lived was Queen Elizabeth I of England (1533-1603). She was the daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.

She was 25 years old when she became Queen and ruled England for 44 years until age 69. In the 1500s there was an ongoing rivalry on the sea between the ships of England and Spain over control of trade in the New World. King Philip II of Spain decided to settle the question and put an end to English attacks on his ships by invading and conquering England. Philip assembled a huge fleet of warships known as the Spanish Armada and in 1588 sailed into the English Channel.

During the nine-day battle, the smaller, more maneuverable English ships met the Spanish Armada and inflicted terrible losses. The Spanish ships that escaped the English ran into bad weather and only a few returned to Spain. Following the defeat of the Spanish Armada, England became the dominant world power and remained so for centuries.

Holding her coronation ring aloft, she declared: “Behold the pledge of this, my wedlock and marriage [is] with my kingdom. And do not upbraid me with miserable lack of children: for every one of you, and as many as are Englishmen, are children and kinsmen to me.”

Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria is associated with Britain’s great age of industrial expansion, economic progress and, especially, empire. At her death, it was said, Britain had a worldwide empire on which the sun never set. Her marriage to Prince Albert brought nine children between 1840 and 1857.

The Boer War in South Africa overshadowed the end of her reign. As in the Crimean War nearly half a century earlier, Victoria reviewed her troops and visited hospitals; she remained undaunted by British reverses during the campaign: ‘We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat; they do not exist.’

Golda Meir

Was one of the founders of the State of Israel.

Meir served as the fourth Prime Minister of Israel from March 17, 1969 to June 3, 1974. Golda Meir was called the “Iron Lady” of Israel an presided over the 1973 Yom Kippur War .

Following the Munich massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics, Meir appealed to the world to “save our citizens and condemn the unspeakable criminal acts committed.”

Meir and the Israeli Defense Committee felt that the world did not adequately respond, and therefore authorized the Mossad to kill Black September and PFLP (Operation Bayonet) operatives wherever they could be found (Morris 1999).

She had two children, a son Menachem and a daughter Sarah

Margaret Thatcher
On 2 April 1982, a ruling military junta in Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, a British overseas territory that Argentina had claimed since an 1830s dispute on their British settlement. Within days Thatcher sent a naval task force to recapture the islands. Despite the huge logistical difficulties the operation was a success, resulting in a wave of patriotic enthusiasm and support for her government, with Newsweek declaring “The Empire Strikes Back”. There were also several controversies that arose as a result of the Falklands War and Thatcher’s handling of the conflict.
She has twin children Carol and Mark.

We have no desire to make anybody look like a blithering idiot, but we do love it when they do.

I guess its profanity so a good reason to not play it.
What are these people saying that the Evil Fox channel has no right to censor profanity?
