And what do you think Faux news is? Sm
ROFL. Do you think Faux news tilts to the right a little?
Oh boy! Faux News? Really?
My goodness - I wonder who stirred this pot. Who organized these families? Hmm. I smell a conspiracy. Why didn't these families approach Bushbag? Strange doings, I must say. Not allowed back on the grounds? Wow! Says who?
watch Faux news they are all
about flags, lipstick, crosses in the sand -- all the symbolic distraction you could ever, ever hope for.
Faux news and Huff
The difference is essential. Huff backs up what it says. It is openly democrat-leaning. It is okay to be biased, one must just admit to the fact and not try to disguise their bias like Faux does. If Faux just came out and said we are repub-owned and controlled and we will say anything to defeat the dems, there would be problem with them It's the coverup that gets em everytime.
Faux Noise? You mean Fox News? I have watched
nm
Every time I tune into Faux News I hear
"there's nothing wrong with your TV set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are now controlling the transmission." 
Well, now this is what I REALLY HEAR when tuning into Faux News...sorry 'bout that...
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling the transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the Outer Limits.
LOL
OBAMA WON!!! Despite Faux News attempts to thwart the success WE DID IT
very good news and what a relief
Reality check for Fixed Noise viewers....(sm)
From Rupert Murdoch speaking about Fox dealing with economic downturn:
While it's impossible to be completely prepared for a downturn of this magnitude, we began priming ourselves for a weakening economy earlier last year. We implemented strict cost cutting measures across all our operations. We reduced head count in individual businesses where appropriate and we scaled back on capital expenditures.
Even on [finance] terms, we have never been a company that tolerates facts.

MSNBC's job is to deceive their viewers; explains their very poor ratings!! nm
You are very much misinformed
Bible meetings are held in many homes REGULARLY. They are not conducting business. They are discussing God's Word and praying. Some people live so far out in the country, too far from churches, that REGULAR Bible meetings are held in the homes on REGULAR basis. Same sex marriage is not a right for anyone. Homosexuals are not denied any rights that anyone else isn't denied. I think Tupperware is a business the last time I checked.
No - you are misinformed -

Michelle resigned her position after the election as she would be moving to Washington. She was not let go. She was on a paid leave of absence during the election.
And the hospital continued to provide some indigent care to the tune of 10 million dollars, just not as much as the national average.
I still do not see the harm in giving some patients rides to other hospitals if they are not there for life threatening injuries and are only there abusing the system because they have a cold, have medicare, and did not want to go to the doctor during the day!!!
Truly sad...... and misinformed....
nm
You're misinformed.
As usual.
You're misinformed then....
What Michelle Obama did WAS illegal.... she was taking govt dollars which was DIRECTLY intended for charity patients, regardless of ER or where, but she booted them out and sent then to surrounding hospitals which were NOT receiving govt dollars for charity patients. She knew exactly what she was doing was wrong and she was spear heading the committed to do these acts.....
The entire purpose of all those MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars were to make room for the indigent patient, regardless of ER visits or what, so the hospital could not say they didn't have the funds to treat them. Because people found out and reported her transgressions, the hospital put her on leave because they were hoping everything would quiet down. When it did not, she was quietly let go of her position with no one put in that position....the position was done away with!! This ONLY happened because her husband was a state senator....plain and simple. What she was doing was illegal. Yep, they are soooo worried about those poor people without healthcare. Yep, they thought that $317 THOUSAND dollar position was soooo important, they just did away with it completely after they booted her out!
Excuse me, but as president, Obama had EVERY opportunity to NOT allow lobbyists up there, but he has his OWN lobbyists pushing HIS OWN agendas! Lets not find excuses for poor pitiful little Obama. This is one area where he could shut the door on lobbyists and said he would but he flat OUT LIED, LIED, LIED, which is no surprise to many of us.
Lets not get side tracked on the tobacco issue. Obama couldn't care less about pushing a tobacco agenda except he has decided HE doesn't want to smoke, so only now does it become an issue to him and sucking in MORE TAXES for his agendas. Lets not confuse his reasoning or purpose.... he doesn't give a rat's butt who smokes or how young they start. If he weren't trying to quit, this wouldn't be an issue.
Sure he advocates late-term abortions. Someone who DOES NOT advocate late-term abortions, votes AGAINST them not FOR THEM! Please! How asinine!
I'm tired of this rep vs. dem crap!! I would have loved for Ron Paul to be given a fraction of the TV time to speak the truth about this country and what is happening to it. How could anyone disagree with what he was trying/wanting to do for this country!!
Do you even listen to what he says? It's obvious you are misinformed! nm

Nah, you are misinformed. Obama is doing the right thing for all of us. nm

Only on deaf ears if from misinformed mouth nm

Doesn't make you a racist, just misinformed.
I grew up in the 60s when racial tensions were extremely high, and we knew what was racist and what was not racist, and this cartoon is definitely racist. You really don't want to go back to that horrible time and place, so if we can inform others to show just a little bit of compassion and/or respect to others, it will go a long way to soothe the underlying tensions that still exist.
I guess I was misinformed. I thought most liberals were antigun.sm
I do not like guns myself, but protecting the right to have one and protect ourselves I do believe in.
faux talk.

faux talk
don't read em
Faux will just have to counterpunch
by requiring forehead tattoos of the flag on all their regulars.
even your beloved Faux
has Obama up 6.
Pardon my faux pas........... sm
that belongs in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.
But it makes my argument no less valid.
Faux Snooze strikes again

Did you read the screen below him? On Faux Noise, no less.

don;t bother to read -standard Faux creed

Can you stop parroting Faux Noise long enough
The freeze is pending review of the Gitmo operations. You are just plain STUPID to think that Obama is going to flood the streets with the detainees. They will be transerred to different facilities (last I heard, they were considering re-opening Alcatraz, for example!), their charges and cases reviewed and heard in a legitimate court proceedings, but don't look for ALL cases to stand, especially the ones where the only evidence against the accused was gained by means of torture. Some of them may well end up walking. You will have your beloved shrub and Cheney to thank for that.
Wow, once again jumping to conclusions based on Faux Noise sm
inaccurate reporting by jumping on a story strictly for sensationalism. Mr. Latham has since been reinstated his job. It all turned out to be a misunderstanding by argumentative student that took something that Mr. Latham said, twisted it, and reported it to the principal. Once the misunderstanding was cleared up after all parties told their stories, Mr. Latham has his job back. Just another example of those ambulance chasers at Fox stirring the pot for their own hateful agenda. Maybe those of you on here that take everything they say as gospel woulld be wise to wait before you report something as fact!!

It's all over the news - and I mean ALL news stations.
not just the ones you don't like.
Do you get any news except at the DU? ????? NM
Believe it or not, I do keep up with the news.
I realize this is an old story, but it has a new twist to it because now Gary Bernsten is now giving the specifics surrounding it.
When the news first came out that he was..sm
hosting a fundraiser for her I thought it was weird, but now that you bring it up (and it's a good question) I did some research and it appears that old Ruppert has a history of switching his backing between parties. Some believe his main objective is monopoly in broadcasting, not party loyalty or belief in party ideals (aka Big Business 102).
Excerpt from wsws.org: 'When it comes to politics, Murdoch, known in media circles as the “dirty digger,” is equally adaptable in pursuing his personal gain. The most loyal right-wing Tory and friend of Margaret Thatcher during the 1980s, as he built up his media holdings in Britain, he switched his loyalties to “New Labour” when he saw that Tony Blair could provide a fresh face for even more reactionary politics and was more than willing to further Murdoch’s interests in return for editorial backing. He made similar swings in his native Australia between the Labor and Liberal parties to further his efforts at monopolizing the print and broadcast media.'
Actually, I saw it on ABC News....
the footage of Obama not putting hand over heart for pledge. In all fairness, that is the only footage I have seen of him not doing so....never was a recipient of whatever chain email you are speaking of. Believe it...yes, saw it with my own eyes. Why he did it, have no idea. There could be a multitude of reasons why he didn't do it. Here is the big BUT...it does make one a but curious when coupled with the fact that he dispensed with wearing of the flag pin on his lapel. I heard his explanation; I am just not sure I buy it. Each thing alone not such a big deal...together, it does make one wonder, so I can see why nanna might have reservations. It is good to question things and not take everything at face value...be the candidate Dem, Repub, Inde...whatever.
Fox news
A propanganda machine for repubs. No one is obligated to appear on that network. There are plenty of other media outlets. Fox's ratings are dropping and MSNC's are climbing. Fox disguises these facts by including their entertainment ratings in with their "news" ratings. As far as ALL OTHER MEDIA being liberal, that is a transparent technique to keep viewers from getting opinions from ANY OTHER source than Fox. I certainly wouldn't fall for that bunko. I also notice that they concentrate on certain sites such as Media Matters and NY Times specifically because those sites are excellent at presenting the truth about distorted information disseminated by the propaganda machine. To each his own.
Where do you get your news?
Sorry, I'm conservative, but have to ask why you would go down that road when you can find those answers yourself.
Might I suggest worldnetdaily.com, townhall.com, drudgereport.com, breitbart.com, talk radio (and the hosts' web sites, including Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, Savage, Levin, Michelle Malkin, Rush, etc.). There are countless news stories that never make the mainstream media.
Another thing to consider is who a person keeps for company. When questionable names keep coming up (Pflager, Rezko, Wright, Ayers, Dohrn, etc.), that would concern me if I were considering any kind of relationship with someone, but that's just me.
Those who support Obama get their news from MSNBC, CBS, NBC, and so on. Those networks alone have been proven repeatedly to be biased. All the times that McCain went abroad, where were Couric, Gibson, and Williams? Why would any American think that the Democrats, who are determined to reinstate Fairness Doctrine, think that it won't come back and bite them? Why should any American be silenced just because one group disagrees with another?
Do you know what is posted on blogs like the DailyKos and HuffingtonPost?
Lastly, a couple more stats. The #1 most liberal Senator is Obama. Kennedy is #2, Biden is #3. Even the moderate Democrats are distancing themselves from him. This info is documented and not fiction.
That's rather left of left, I would say.
I'm already looking for my fire extinguisher, but the truth hurts sometimes.
Trust your own gut.

You have more options now than anytime in history to gather information. You can gather information from both sides of the issue and verify the facts and then make your own decision based on your personal values.

SP on ABC News
Just saw first installment of interview with SP with Charlie Gibson. In my opinion, she really messed that up! Experienced and ready to lead? No way. Danced around every question and flat out lied when asked what she said about Iraq War being a mission from God. What's the worst thing about listening to her for the first time in her own words, she says NUCULAR!!! Just like George Bush. Oh no...not again.
SP on ABC News
She was so nervous, she had big red blotches on the side of her neck. He pressed on dancing around and not answering the questions he asked. She looked like a deer in the headlights to me.
old news....ho hum.. nm

old news
This happened years ago, not yesterday. How come you are just hearing about it? Did you check your dates in snopes?
Maybe old news, but why does no one get it? sm
do you just want to ignore all the blatant truths about Obama being linked to terrorists and cling to hope that he is not REALLY a terrorist and hope that he really will do what he says? So just blindly accept him at his word and ignore all the indications that tell us otherwise. Do you not see any huge red flags waving in front of your eyes??
Fox NEWS is not the news
Joe the plumber is a plant! All your info is wrong.
Fox News
Plenty has been said about Sarah Palin's appearance, from her designer glasses to her striking similarity to actress Tina Fey.
But lately her stylish look has come at a price -- more than $150,000 of which was paid for by the Republican National Committee -- according to a report Tuesday by Politico.
The Web site cited financial disclosure records that suggest the wardrobe makeover began in September and included bills from Sak's Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York totaling nearly $50,000.
The documents also show a $75,000 shopping trip at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis in September, as well as about $4,700 spent on hair and makeup, Politico reported. Documents don't show similar costs in August.
