New York Poised to Drill, Baby, Drill
But while we're being defeatist in the White House, oh and Arlen Specter gave us such little respect that he just switched parties; giving us a 'pitiful' clear 2/3 majority in the Senate. Chances are pretty good that what I just told you went so far over your head that it's making it's rounds on the ceiling fan (now I'm basing that solely on your RNC tag line filled post where you really said nothing at all). I hate to burst your bubble, but talk like your commment there is the embodiment of everything that hurts this country. The sheer volume of grammatical errors that end with a 'you get no respect....you suck!!' is downright comical. But thanks for taking the time to give us a run-on sentence of ignorance incarnate. Your caveman-esque writing style has brightened my day.
Best of luck staring at the orange juice...
You made an old joke!
Also, that's called an Ad Hominem attack.
Insulting his grammar on the *Internet* will do absolutely nothing in the realm of proving him wrong.
You singled out the grammar of his post and insulted that, Therefore, he is always wrong.
Good job finding that connection!
Keep posting! its making my day!
If you don't do the world a favor and SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU CONSERVITAVE CUNT NUGGET!
There is a HUGE difference between biased news and outright propaganda. Biased news simply presents the idea or issue from a certain point of view. Propaganda relies on slander, wrong statement,s outright lies, and shock statements. I have yet to find a news outlet, liberal or conservative, that makes the same volume of outlandish, racist, blatantly wrong and ridiculous statements as FOX does. FOX is, in my opinion, the ONLY propaganda network.
CNN is biased, but it isn't propaganda. FOX goes beyond bias- it flat out lies. Its not just presenting the stories from a conservative viewpoint, its making things up. There is a difference.
Denying the truth does not make it a lie.
People don't have to support Sen. Obama but he has the right to be treated fairly and as Media Watch, FAIR and others have pointed out, contrary to claims the media is soft on him, he is being subjected to more personal attacks using 'guilt by association' than any other candidate.
Enough!
I think a lot of people are totally fed up with this garbage! The answer is to send a letter and change the channel.
Otherwise, very true sentiments. When I watch Fox (I have low blood pressure and do this to raise it) I have seen nothing but an attempt to tear this person down. This is the same will all "right" programming.
It's a sad testiment that the only person to try to rise above the pathetic nature of our politics is ripped down in such a vicious way.
I am not about to get involved in a who's the lessor shit rally that our electoral process has turned into. And that is what it is.
Anyone who votes in this election is dumber than a broken bottle of molasses.
I say screw them- They are all alike- so let them select their grand "poobah" because they are going to do it anyway!
If Nazis, Islamic Jihad and Republicans think it's Evil - Then being a liberal is the correct thing to be.
I embrace all the things that truly define what a Liberal is. Not what the media defines a liberal as.
I say anyone that doesn't embrace Liberalism in the truest sense of the definition is Un-American, Anti-Democratic, pro-totalitarianism, pro-fascism and is helping the terrorists to take away your liberties.
Fox News is just one of the outlets he uses to manipulate public opinion through lies masquerading as news. He IS the biggest threat to our democracy!!! We ALL have to do something now, before it's too late. One thing we can do is NOT WATCH Fox News or ABC.
Actually, the Wright clips really are from 2007. Hannity has been trying to demonize Wright and his church for OVER A YEAR now. That's the problem — FOX runs a story, and the rest of the media thinks, "Well, if fox is doing a story on it, maybe we should, too..."
And I'm actually a RON PAUL REPUBLICAN!
I'm also a student of history. Modern day American media is virtually the same as the Pravda and Tass days of the Soviet Union. Media ownership (electronic/print) is overwhelmingly right-wing; not conservative, but radical right. It parrots the radical right-wing line.
We essentially live under a corporate dictatorship that controls the media, the government and the state religion. Barack Obama is a tremendous threat to this incredibly powerful and wealthy cabal. Hillary is not. The radical right is convinced McCain can beat Hillary. They're not dumb - they know McCain cannot beat Barack.
Even if Hillary did manage to win the democratic nomination and go on to beat McCain - no problem. Hillary has been cozying up to the radicals of late, note the endorsement of Clinton by right-wing radical, Richard Mellon Scaife's newspaper, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
This is a domestic political cold war with the stakes every bit as high as the old American/Russian dust up. Barack is the Anti-Christ. Now, the Clinton's have sprung an 11th hour commercial in Pennsylvania that flashes a picture of bin Laden. The jingoistic Clinton, of course, hopes that the rubes will combine this with her description of Barack as 'elite' (a coded racist term for 'Uppity' ") and give her a wider margin in PA. She needs to win by about 25 points, she's currently at about 5 or 6.
The bin Laden reference is somewhat ironic insofar as bin Laden is most likely dead (though for some reason no major media will pursue the story).
Hillary is in very imminent danger of estranging herself from decent democrats forever. Take a look at the credible democrats (including Reich and Richardson from her husband's administration) who are endorsing Barack.
And Obama can go to any church he wants to in America. Thats part of what this Land is suppose to be about: freedom of religion. (even if in my mind most of them are outdated.)
You say FOX 'distorts'
..Anyware else in the world it would be called lying.It wouldnt fly here(north EU)but why do the FOX thing keep up?And why does fly st your place?
To not see the fakes,regardless of political stand,seem impossible.
Its so obvious false,the kind and method is the forth graders,the slow in forth. In need for a friend or just a hug by mom,but this they dont know.So they alarm around smelliing farts from kings and queens,telling they are S M E L L Y! BUT anyone in theire neighbourhood knows,bitterly,whare this stench is originating.
To be a honest republican(as i gather it must be
some)have to be dreadful.
And this perveted variety of christianity sold and bought and stolen and rebought just be rented as long you dont read the book and you may fabulate up what you want as long you dont understand
Think about it: the bulk of mainstream media is owned by corporations. Now what happens if they run a story that goes against corporate interests? Why, the corporations get hurt, and thus, the media outlet they own. Solution: self-censorship, although you can bet anyone on a paper or TV show who was too anti-Establishment would be booted out in short order by the corporate board of trustees.
This is why there's no serious talk in the mainstream media about creating real financial equality in the US or worldwide. Its not that it isn't possible (though many media outlets would like to convince you otherwise), and its not because there isn't the will--there just isn't the corporate will, and thus, no media will.
This relates to the reason politics in this country is a no-win game. (Another is that any kind of a hierarchy is oppressive and anti-democratic.) In order to get any real media attention (a necessary step to getting elected), or gather the funds necessary to launch a successful campaign, a presidential candidate has to pander to corporate interests. Sure, Obama may not be Big Business' best friend, but when was the last time he (or any other) serious presidential candidate criticized a monetary system which requires the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? (The Democrats' "solution" is to settle for a milder level of exploitation.)
And an anti-Establishment President would quickly be rendered powerless by Big Business and Big Media.
Case in point: Eliot Spitzer. Ever wonder why the prostitution scandal came out just when it did? Could've been related to the fact that Spitzer was literally just about to launch a crusade against predatory loaning, subprime mortgages, and the Bush regime. But now that Spitzer's been discredited, Bush and other corporate interests are safe from the horrible populists. (Republican Senator David Vitter of Louisiana has also been involved in prostitution, but so far nobody in the media has made a big deal about it. If he ever has a go at the present Establishment, though ...)
For the record, I am a reformist. I believe in progressive politics. I just want to point out that reform will only take us so far in a system so fundamental flawed.
If we ever want to achieve a truly just, egalitarian, peaceful, democratic way of life, at some point we're going to move outside the present system of government.
It's obvious--there is simply no progressive version of Fox News on TV. There's nothing even close.
We can at least be encouraged that, even with McCain getting a TOTAL pass in the media (at least so far), with an entire network to cheerlead for him (Fox News), and the Democrats fighting (for the moment), polls show that McCain is only running even with either Obama or Clinton.
McCain should be ahead by 15 points by this time, under the current media conditions.
When the Democrats pick a candidate, we can unite and go after the REAL enemy--McCain.
What will be different? Two long time insiders??
Those who time and again say one person cannot change how things are doen in DC seem to forget we had a surplus, a booming economy, PEACE and a middle class.
Eight short years of the shrub, and it is all changed..Who says one person cannot make a difference.
It is also VERY interesting that Mc\Cain, Billary and the media, in general, all focus on "who can win" and NOT who will do the most to help the country. That is what Sen. Obama focuses on and THAT is why the people of the United states will elect him the next president.
One final thing; is it just me, or does Hillary refuse to call "her opponent" anything other that "her opponant"? She always refers to the republican as "Sen. McCain..my good friend, the patriot, the guy who can work accross the asile".
She sounds like she is affraid of offending McCain.
BUT it's OK to not give any respect to Senator Barack Obama, the person wwho ALWAYS

@Anonymous: Thanks for the link. Excellent video, it points out exactly the kind of media bias that goes on all the time.
Unfortunately, I can't support Ron Paul. I think he's really good on some issues and really bad on others.
For one thing, his isolationist policy speaks of US imperialism. He's against membership in international organizations which interfere with US sovereignty and US needs (thus putting them above global needs). He wants us out of the United Nations, which does more good in a bad year than the US government has done in over 200.
He's also no great friend to women, minorities, and other oppressed peoples. On racism, for instance, he appears to suffer from "colorblindness" which only ends up supporting racism. (Since we live in a racist society, and are quite often racist ourselves, we need to recognize race so that we don't miss unintentional racism.)
But more than any of that, Ron Paul, though a radical by US political standards, is only about an inch from the midline if one takes a broader view. The real radicals never make it in politics or get into the media, unless they get real results outside of politics, like Gandhi and King--and we all know what happened to them.
I reiterate: politics (in their current form) are not the answer. You elect the politician who'll do the least damage and the most amount of good, and then you go back to making real changes outside of politics.
Some of the remarks are excellent and go right to the heart of what is happening in our corporately owned nation. But some are just rants and raves, trying to protect whatever false perception they may have carved out of the inaccuracies the medias have produced for them.
Since our own mainstream media is also a corporately owned industry they tend to feed us whatever they want us to believe to maintain power. So many comments reflect these ill-gotten beliefs.
It's been outrageous what the radical reactionary wing of the Republican Party has achieved. They have without much ado, brainwashed millions of people who willingly placed an "R" on their forehead and chanted the corporate mantra which totally went against their own self-interest. Ya really gotta give em credit... The conglomerate "Republicans" are the champions.
I am hoping beyond hope that Barack Obama's words of wisdom will resonate throughout this group and perhaps sprinkle a few seeds of truth which will take root upon the minds of these pathetic souls of mimicry. But I'm not going to hold my breath. It's just been too long and it's just too hard to lay down the tarnished sword of mendacity. The shame might be too overwhelming.
They're rich; they don't care about "the news" anymore. No one there has done any real journalism in a decade. Murrow is rolling in his grave. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
Hussain (Obama) 1, Bush 3, or Clinton 2.
Those are your choices, America. All terrible. I want to take a mulligan on this election. Jeremiah Wright is like an uncle to Obama.....Obama said this himself....Wright was the pastor that married Barack and Michelle obama.
he hates the white man in my opinion. Read michelle obama's thesis.... she hates whites too. and thats fine, just dont front that you want change....change we can believe in....empty Rhetoric.
And if you do not think that Hillary is a Republican you have had your eyes shut for too long.
Here is a duscussion of the Fairness Doctrine and its demise: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairness_doctrine
We also should repeal the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which enabled the consolidation of our media. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_Act_of_1996
Years ago he was against Bush's tax cuts for the super rich, now he's for them.
Now he proposes even more tax cuts for the oil, gas, insurance companies cause billions in profits aren't enough...got to make trillions!
Now he wants to tax your health insurance if you have it....
Wake up working America, Republicans are not about you!!
At least Obama cares about middle class working people. Stop listening to the critics and listen to the man.
Black & White
Rich & Poor
Christian & Muslim
Democrat & Republican
War & Peace
We will only be successful if we can bridge those gaps and be "One nation under god, indvisible, with liberty and justice for all."
@Mike: Ooh, his middle name's Hussein, he must be evil! What a cheap shot.
Look, black people are not separatist or anti-white just because they stand up and tell the truth about centuries of white exploitation. Our present racist/white-guilt society wants to deny that things were ever that bad for blacks, just like it wants to deny Native American/American Indian/First Nation genocide. Just like it wants to deny the continuing racism in this country, which goes beyond whether or not someone would vote for Obama, into such areas as an overwhelmingly disproportionate number of people of color living in poverty or in prison. As one book puts it, while whites have recessions, the rate of unemployed people of color in this country put them into a permanent depression.
And everybody, try to understand: electing the "right" candidate for President will not save this country. Not Ron Paul, not Obama, not Hillary, not McCain, not Kucinich or Gravel. Not Nader or Gore, either.
In order to become ANY kind of contender for Presidential election, a candidate has to espouse a program of business-more-or-less-as usual. Granted, some like Ron Paul have more radical ideas than others, but even he supports the underlying system of corporate-government domination.
People like Ron Paul and Obama think you can reform the system from within, but that means they don't question the system itself, merely the direction it's presently going. Systemic reform is a worthy goal, but at some point, we're going to have to replace the system with something actually democratic, instead of the minimalist democracy we have now. And that's a change no serious Presidential candidate (Democrat or Republican) would ever dream of.
Fuck Your agenda!!!
911 INSIDE JOB!
That's the real story they won't back Why don't they smear Jesse Ventura? GD cowards... NAZI's Hitler Ugen!

Colin Powell's son Michael Powell deregulated the media allowing these big corporations buy everything up and have a monopoly on the market. Most likely GE figures Obama might actually try to do some good in the world, so they have turned on him.
The biggest threat we face right now is the elderly voter. They vote more than anyone else, and the corporate controlled media like ABC and Fox is where they get their news from.
We all need to make our parents (I'm almost 40) and our grandparents watch these videos so they know what the hell they are doing.
Young people need to get involved in their local caucuses because the caucuses determine the state delegates. The delegates determine who their party runs for Congress and the Senate. alternativeconservative.com
If we got enough good people into power again (Democrat or Republican), we might be able to get control over the media again. We need to return control of the media to local markets.
A study was done showing how damaging corporate ownership is to local markets and the FCC buried it.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?st...
It's an honest mistake, you got your corporate overlords a little mixed up: NBC is owned by General Electric, ABC is owned by Disney, now we can start the discussions on whether the light-bulb is more evil than mickey mouse, plenty of good arguments on each side.
The topic does get complicated, GE is 1 hell of a war profiteer but then turns around & presents the closest things to "liberal" we're allowed to see in the MSM on MSNBC shows like Countdown or Dan Abrams' new fight with Karl Rove over Sigelman (that seems like it's getting personal) or the recent hire of Rachel Maddow. I'm saying it's their ability to play both sides, they've been in this Military-Industrial game from day 1 & that's why they have been turning slightly pro-Obama lately. Hedging their bets will keep the cash flowing no matter what the citizenry does. Murdoch's big gamble was good for a quick massive explosion of popularity but FOX was always going to be completely marginalized eventually barring an actual declaration of martial law & suspension of the constitution.
I'm so ready for this to heat up :)

Seek out your own truths and don't believe everything you hear.
HIT PROJECT VOTESMART ON THE INTERNET, AND READ THE CANDIDATES' RESPONSES TO THE QUESTIONNAIRE. Read on the candidates' personal and voting records.
Then, VOTE FOR THE THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE OF YOUR CHOICE, NOT THE DEMOCRAT OR THE REPUBLICAN OF THE MEDIA'S CHOICE. The big oil companies, the media, the pharmaceutical companies, and the other major corporations in the USA, are all D-E-E-P in the pockets of the Democrats and the Republicans. The only solution is to vote OUT the D's and the R's and vote IN members of third parties, who have no vested interests in big corporations and who have received no money from corporate investors or lobbyists.
Either vote them out, or shoot them out. Make your choice now, while we still have ballots, or else it will come to bullets when hungry, sick, angry poor people start exercising our second Amendment rights to start a SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
"Faux News is nothing but a bunch of "RACIST HACKS"! LOUD MOUTH RACIST!! I CAN'T BELIEVE BLACK PEOPLE WORK FOR THAT CRAP NETWORK"!!
Obama had better stop whinning about the "Hillary Attacks" because, if he's the nominee, he'll have to answer those questions from McCain.
I don't really care who wins the nomination--I'll vote Democrat.
Loyal Dem
if they're are suppose to be "Fair and balanced" then they are not suppose to have a "view", they only are to have factual news, isn't that correct?? Or did I miss that part in my journalism classes? Because I thought REAL journalist were suppose to give fact based NEWS not fantasy based b.s.
And by fair and balanced I mean a consummate and detestable mockery of moral and ethical news reporting.
You should be petitioning for them to change thier product description because they are not too unlike Media Matter, they just sit oin the other side of the spectrum.

Reading just a few posts, OBAMA supporters are just upset at an outlet that TELLS THE TRUTH.
In my WILDEST DREAMS I can not fathom why everyone doesn't see a phoney tin horn ambitious liar every time Obama opens his mouth. He's as transparant as glass to me. He CAN NOT speak on the issues without a telepromter and THAT is WHY he won't do Town Halls with McCain.
A FEW of Obama's FAULTS:
1) No experience. As a JUNIOR Senator, he has 3 years in the US Senate and 7 years in the Illinois Senate. He's missed 43% of Senate Votes this year.
2) The GREAT UNITER has NEVER ONCE CROSSED PARTY LINES to create legislation. He has voted WITH his party 96.5% of the time. WHERE is his "reaching across the asile"?? I'll tell you .. WORDS.... JUST WORDS (from his plagerized speech).
3) You'll love it when he raises your payroll taxes for Social Security AND increases Capital Gains tax from 15 to 28%. You probably won't be thrilled when he increases corporate taxes and your employer responds by either cutting YOUR salary OR cutting your job.
4) HE HAS NO PLAN FOR NATIONAL SECURITY. Read HIS WEB SITE... under ISSUES. It's NOT THERE! Homeland Security is there... it's NOT THE SAME THING. During Primaries he said he will CUT MILITARY and DEFENSE SPENDING, PARTICULARILY IN THE AREA OF WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT and use that money to fund his SCARY NATIONAL HEALTH CARE plan!
This guy is SOOO JIMMY CARTER that it makes my hair stand on end. The great bumbling Carter who didn't have a clue that National Security IS SUPPOSE TO BE THE MAIN JOB OF THE GOVERNMENT... he had NO CLUE what to do with the Iran Hostage Crisis... he was just, to be very kind here... USELESS!!!!
If you think things are bad today then you weren't trying to buy a house under Carter when the Interest rate on mortgages was 18%!!!!
5)Obama's ENERGY plan will be great....... in 2030 and 2050!! HE HAS NO PLAN TO HELP AMERICANS TODAY. CAN YOU WAIT 22 years for a solution to this problem????? NOT! The energy crisis and the economy are hand in hand. If you think it's bad now....... elect Obama. You'll find out what BAD is!!
6) JUDGEMENT: He has a lot of judgement.. and it's all bad. In OBAMA's OWN WORDS, from his book, THE AUDACITY OF HOPE...not Wright's words... OBAMA's WORDS..... "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction," . Lovely.
I'm not sure he knows anyone who isn't a terrorist (William Ayers the 70's bomber)... or a Racist (Louis Farrakhan and REV WRight...and HIS WIFE).... or a guy (Rezko) convicted of fraud, bribery, money laundering and real estate scams. I guess his mother never told him that he'd be judged by who his friends were. How many times can he convincingly say "I never saw that.. That's not the (fill in the blank) that I knew". B S! He profited PERSONALLY (by buying property at well under market value from Rezko) and PROFESSIONALLY... Rezko was a money raiser for Obama. GREAT RECOMMENDATION FOR THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND!!!!
Oh, he can spin and win it, but the thought of what will happen to this country is beyond depressing. One world. One nation under Obama. The Anti Christ.
All spin, NO SUBSTANCE..... CHANGE... yep.... that's ALL you'll have if he's elected. A few cents worth of CHANGE. Your parents won't have their retirement funds... you probably won't have a job, and you certainly won't have a car or a house so I guess you won't have to worry about fuel for what you don't have!
By the way.... I don't have a horse in this race. The way I see it, there are only Democrats running. McCain, a sane Democrat and then Obama, who is really a Socialist and not a Democrat.
That's right. It takes no brains at all to be an Oscar award winning director.
"Reading just a few posts, OBAMA supporters are just upset at an outlet that TELLS THE TRUTH"
Especially when the Fox Noise chyrons proclaim Mark Foley, Ted Stevens, John McCain, and, most recently Mark Sanford as DEMOCRATS. Boy, that's a tital wave of TRUTH TELLING!
"In my WILDEST DREAMS I can not fathom why everyone doesn't see a phoney tin horn ambitious liar every time Obama opens his mouth. He's as transparant as glass to me. He CAN NOT speak on the issues without a telepromter and THAT is WHY he won't do Town Halls with McCain."
Oh I forgot. "W" never used a teleprompter (what is a telepromter? - Oh that's right - republicans can't spell) in his eight years as president. Wake up!
Do you mean the town halls where John McCain's audience yell out "terrorist" and that Obama's an "Arab"? Very classy.
"A FEW of Obama's FAULTS:
1) No experience. As a JUNIOR Senator, he has 3 years in the US Senate and 7 years in the Illinois Senate. He's missed 43% of Senate Votes this year."
Like the wealth of foreign policy experience that Sarah Palin had. Oh I forgot: seeing Russia from her house counts as foreign policy experience.
"2) The GREAT UNITER has NEVER ONCE CROSSED PARTY LINES to create legislation. He has voted WITH his party 96.5% of the time. WHERE is his "reaching across the asile"?? I'll tell you .. WORDS.... JUST WORDS (from his plagerized speech)."
That's right: "W" was a uniter, not a divider from all the times HE crossed party lines.
"3) You'll love it when he raises your payroll taxes for Social Security AND increases Capital Gains tax from 15 to 28%. You probably won't be thrilled when he increases corporate taxes and your employer responds by either cutting YOUR salary OR cutting your job."
Actually, my payroll taxes were LOWERED since Obama came in to power. Oh, and the global financial MELTDOWN that happened on W's watch didn't result in ANY job loss.
"4) HE HAS NO PLAN FOR NATIONAL SECURITY. Read HIS WEB SITE... under ISSUES. It's NOT THERE! Homeland Security is there... it's NOT THE SAME THING. During Primaries he said he will CUT MILITARY and DEFENSE SPENDING, PARTICULARILY IN THE AREA OF WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT and use that money to fund his SCARY NATIONAL HEALTH CARE plan!

And 9/11 happened under W's watch.
How about the energy policies Jimmy Carter had in place which your god Reagan removed during his term, which lead to the energy crisis we're having today.
"If you think things are bad today then you weren't trying to buy a house under Carter when the Interest rate on mortgages was 18%!!!!"
So let's deregulate so that banks become so big we have to BAIL THEM OUT - that's working out great, by the way.
"5)Obama's ENERGY plan will be great....... in 2030 and 2050!! HE HAS NO PLAN TO HELP AMERICANS TODAY. CAN YOU WAIT 22 years for a solution to this problem????? NOT! The energy crisis and the economy are hand in hand. If you think it's bad now....... elect Obama. You'll find out what BAD is!!"
See above.
"6) JUDGEMENT: He has a lot of judgement.. and it's all bad. In OBAMA's OWN WORDS, from his book, THE AUDACITY OF HOPE...not Wright's words... OBAMA's WORDS..... "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction," . Lovely.

He profited PERSONALLY (by buying property at well under market value from Rezko) and PROFESSIONALLY... Rezko was a money raiser for Obama. GREAT RECOMMENDATION FOR THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND!!!!"
And CHeney's Blackwater never profited personally or professionally.
"Oh, he can spin and win it, but the thought of what will happen to this country is beyond depressing. One world. One nation under Obama. The Anti Christ."
A Christian, the Anti Christ? Seriously you need to up your meds.
"All spin, NO SUBSTANCE..... CHANGE... yep.... that's ALL you'll have if he's elected. A few cents worth of CHANGE. Your parents won't have their retirement funds... you probably won't have a job, and you certainly won't have a car or a house so I guess you won't have to worry about fuel for what you don't have!"
... and the cow jumped over the moon...
"By the way.... I don't have a horse in this race. The way I see it, there are only Democrats running. McCain, a sane Democrat and then Obama, who is really a Socialist and not a Democrat."
I guess Sarah Palin was not right wing enough for you.
Pathetic.
Before you start sputtering about Jimmy Carter, google "Iran Contra" and at least educate yourself so you don't sound like an ignoramous. Seriously.
I HAVE CHECKED OUT THE FULL TAPES.
BUT -STILL -WRIGHT IS UNQUESTIONABLY
A RABBLE ROUSER WHO SPEAKS TO THE NARCISSISM
OF SELF-BASTING VICTIMHOOD.
---UT---UH
Which proves how bias Fox Noise really is.
Obamba has his press secretaries known as ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC. If we didn't have Fox
the trught would never be told.
that it should report the truth not lies and fabrications and half truths . fox is nit fair or balanced it does not take a very intelligent person to see that .
•I think we've been down the William Ayers road, and your slanted and very biased comments only confirm that your mind was made up long before you began reading about Mr. Ayers.
•Also why are you feeding into distractions like Mr. Ayers that have no other goal besides undermining everything President Elect Obama strives to achieve. The fact is clear that our next president will be former Sen. Obama and that needs to be accepted by the country or else everyone will fall into the same pit falls that have slowed progress here in America.
• XTV i fully understand where you are coming from, and you post it in almost every comment you make on here, with how brutal communist regimes can be, but another point has to be made if a person is to accept that fact. That is that America has supported such brutal regimes like in Indonesia where the worst genocide since the Holocaust occurred or in Cuba and through out Latin America. Also there have been democracies that have been just as brutal towards citizens such as the Untied States during the Civil Rights Movement, South Africa, Israel, Turkey among many others. While the violence might not have reached levels achieved by communists rulers it is important to note that the type of government has a very minor point in a discussion about violence committed by nations and governments.
• XTV- What about Williams Ayers, define what points you are trying to make.
All liars call lies as 'TRUE' !
Get real, FoxRod and you will get the truth of the lies of William Ayers!
AMEN[=TRULY] IN CHRIST JESUS
Dear Glen,
I like to bring to your attention the truth of WHY THE WORLD IS IN FINANCIAL DIRE as follows:
1] Big company like AIG, Lehman and suchlike employ CEOs to manage and these CEOs use legalised cheatings like hugh bonuses, salaries and sumptous expenditures to cheat legally shareholders of their money by not projecting the truth of their yearly financial statement. For example, a bank CEO would lend money to construction companies for building houses while being corrupted{not caught] with 10 or more percent cut out of each loan given to construction companies. Hence the bank CEOs are not projecting the truth for the yealy financial report of earning when THESE CEOs are not revealing the truth that in time to come the bank money would run dry turning into rocks and stones[buildings] when the prices of houses reached the point where no one could afford to buy;
2] Bailing out big banks THAT USE CEOs and suchlike will cause US THE SECOND FINANCIAL SCAM as it is liken to using thieves to police the treasury AGAIN; and
3] Use only smaller banks run by individual bosses[NOT CEOs] TO PROMOTE THE FINANCIAL MARKET as individual bosses ARE NOT LIKELY to cheat their customers LIKE THE CEOs would. So far small banks in US are not suffering financial losses.
God bless you and your 912 program.
Amen[TRULY] In Christ Jesus.

Moreover, there are loopholes for corruptions in the stimulant package as it will be managed by the same dishonest CEOs as far as the banks and big companies are concerned; and
3] Use only smaller banks run by individual bosses[NOT CEOs] TO PROMOTE THE FINANCIAL MARKET as individual bosses ARE NOT LIKELY to cheat their customers LIKE THE CEOs would. One good reason to use small US banks is: so far small banks in US are not suffering financial losses that bankrupt the banks.
God bless you and your 912 program.

ANOTHER POINT SHAME,SHAME ON YOU GEORGE STEPNOPOL......
basically saying get ready for armed revolts and kill the President. He has only been in office for 86 days and they've lost their minds.
Honestly, the stuff that's said about Obama and his administration should be fined to hell for straight up lying and spreading a
dangerous message to bitter and uneducated fools that have nothing to lose in life.
There's a problem when we're criticizing Obama after 100 days, and we're calling him "a socialist president".
I have been trying for over a month to contact a live executive at ATT (an affiliate) or Yahoo, to no avail.
I initially contacted a customer svc rep at ATT trying t get a tel# of a live executive that I could talk to and was told "We don't let our customers talk to our executives!" I then asked if I could have the tel# of an executive at Yahoo and was told, "We don't have any of their numbers."
I then called our public library and they gave me the names of three of their executives in CA and their tel#.
These people are CEO Jerry YAN, CEO David Filo, and Head Mgr.? Carol Bartz.. The number I was given did connect (1-408-349-3300) but try reaching anyone as you must have their ID number.
When going to Yahoo, consider how our young people will react to remarks such as "I wonder if Cheeta and Aunt Jemayma had to pay a deposit on the not so White House?" And there are far worse as I don't believe that Yahoo has anyone monitoring this site.
Really? Who won the election? Who is viewed as unrealistic and full of nonsense? We didn't as a whole come up with any of these ideas, they are the result of years of trial and error. They are changes that need to be made. If it was up to conservatives NOTHING would change except things would get worse, as evidenced by the last eight years. You saying we have no respect when you lost the election means you are either delusional or brainwashed. If one takes a test and gets all the answers wrong because they didn't study, do you think repeating the same wrong answers will ever cause the teacher to pass them? Do you think if you hire someone else to take the test for you it will help as if it is the messenger instead of the message that is wrong? Preponderonce of wrong views doesn't make them correct. It will always be wrong.
Stop whining and get a LIFE !
But what has me puzzled is: what has our President said or done to make you believe that he has different plans for you and what you believe? Why is he a threat to you?

To get Dee to respond would mean she'd have to think for herself, and that's something Fox viewers aren't use to doing.
Go here to read some early American history, information left out of the history books to keep us from remembering:

there is more out there, just ask the right questions, think for yourself Dianne.

"no" should be "know"
Perhaps Fox viewers should be called "no-nothings"...
So have I, and a good chunk of it stems from Fox News (Saddam Hussein was behind the 9/11 attacks, Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, there were links between Iraq and Al Qaeda, etc.).
"It's sad because several of my closest friends buy into this stuff. The worst part is that their intelligent people who are incredibly smart when it comes to anything aside from politics."
Especially when they get it from the talking heads at Fox.
"I'm witnessing the break-down of American political society into tribal warfare."
Witness the so called "teaparties" and the full-time promotion from Fox News.
"What can I do to help?"
Get your news from a variety of sources. May I suggest NPR, a truly fair and balanced news source.
Especially from Fox viewers.
Imagine that.
"This website is a joke. This website distorts what is said on fox news."
You don't say.
"Much of what O'reilly says is taken out of context."
I agree; much of what O'Reilly says are flat-out lies and things that HE takes out of context.
"The people who believe this website here are people who do not watch fox on a regular basis."
I'm in total agreement with you here as well.
"I can't help but laugh about how the left say people who watch fox are stupid and uneducated."
I don't think Fox viewers are stupid or uneducated - just misinformed.
"You might want to rethink that."
You might want to consider getting your news from another source.
...and progressiveinsurance NEEDS to learn how to use punctuation and to spell ("veiw" should be "view").
noun: an animal of the dog family with a pointed muzzle, bushy tail, and a reddish coat. informal: a cunning or sly person
Well "name", since foxnoise didn't exist before 1996, the country was doing just fine. And judging by ratings the other "irrelevant" ABC, NBC, and CBS ANNIHILATES foxnoise.
Yes, thank god for foxnoise; makes me appreciate NPR all the more.
That just doesn't make any sense. You just want to here the things that you preach backed by a news agency who doesn't make any sense either.
you seem to be another hopeless fox news devotee that has his head shoved so far up his ass that you are in danger of drowning on your on piss just another hopeless brainwashed person saying what they want you to say
Isn't it funny when someone brings up "socialism" they usually don't have a clue to what it actually means...
What is interesting, is that beyond the Republican premise that government is bad, any further action is an act of governement, and therefore quetionable. An anarchist cannot assemble, or rally, because, like a republican they believe intervention leads to control of the many by the few, and is a subsequent loss of freedom.
Through the looking glass we go...it is not the liberals that are the dreamers afterall. They turn out to be the realists, who admit that through the hearts and minds of many a common good can prevail, but without this effort you tote yer gun, hoard your wealth, and if you can't communicate with them, hell...lets just say NO to everything.

The fact of the matter is that I had never read or listened to Fox News until Mr. Obama went to war with Fox and also, more importantly to me, Fox started to provide information that the MSN would not.
I don't like a lot of the crap that Fox spews, but I don't understand why in our democratic society we don't embrace a dissenting view.
Hitler and Stalin frightened me ... and so do you people because you don't want anyone to disagree with you.
Have any of you read the book 'Animal Farm'? Do any of you have an understanding of history and geopolitics beyond the past two minutes?
If you don't want me to listen to Fox, then all you have to do is answer questions and ... perhaps ... provide dissenting views.
If you don't understand this, then you are just another for of fascism.
Sincerely,
Fred Johnson
