Noticed Fox covering mostly, others ignoring

In Reply to: Turnout for tea parties is pathetic! - Queen of Hearts
for the most part. From what I noticed on Fox the crowd seems to be extremely small. Some talk on Huffingtonpost about tea bags not being able to be dumped where they wanted them to go and now truck driving around with all those bags. I think this was mostly a big to do about nothing really.

Covering the coverage
Just watch it before you judge anything. All this stuff can be easily checked for accuracy. The question one needs to ask him/herself is: "how accurately and fairly is my station of choice covering this stuff?"
It seems awfully odd that the 3 celebs from the alphabet stations couldn't get on that European/Middle East tour fast enough, yet McCain has been over to Iraq (and elsewhere) multiple times. None of them have gone along. How can that possibly be objective? Don't all of you want objectivity?
And why no debates between the 2 yet? McCain has been asking for months. Is that what you really want for a potential President?
Take your voting preference out of the mix before you answer these questions to yourself. If you allow the above, you aren't demanding true and unbiased information. Remember, there's a big difference between a news "reporter" and one who gives his/her opinions. There should never be a blurry line between the 2.
Convention Dishonesty
They are covering the news....(sm)
That's what they do. LOL.... Palin is the one asking for these interviews. So if Palin wants to speak out and is offering to be in the news, what's your problem with that?
None of them insisted on covering
a Christian symbol, so it seems this president is extra concerned with appearances when it comes to Muslims, was my point. One would expect a US president to object to speaking in front of a swastika (or to be seen as endorsing what it stands for) or some other symbol of hatred but to give a Christian symbol at a Catholic university that classification, especially when he says he is a Christian, is mystifying.
So only "real" news outlets are covering
??
Thought you were ignoring us
but that's too boring isn't it...
I TRIED ignoring them, but my taxes won't go away!
And shame on you for ignoring the
fact that while, yes, while these groups are based in hatred and bigotry, don't be so naive to think they won't ingest all the viciousness and hate-mongering coming from a previously admired government official running for the highest office in the land as an excuse to rise to, what they perceive as their cause, and plot the assassination of someone who has been protrayed as an enemy of the state. Get real and get off that high horse of yours, cause its going to be a long fall.
If you are ignoring them, why do you continually post about them?
Iim ignoring all the negative dem psychobabble....
...doesn't change anything for me.
Sam = I'm ready for her to hit a home run tonight. It's the most important speech of her life. Can hardly wait....
Watched Romney talk earlier today, and he is such a class act. Looking forward to his speech tonight, too.
and to anyone thinking it....no, I won't read any negative posts after mine, so don't bother....
I'm not ignoring Sally. She can hold her own,
meticlously discredit endless barrages of pub bash, misconceptions, misprentations and misinformation. I for one am preparing to bury the garbage under piles and piles of irrefutable fact by ensuring the focus stays on issues rather than personalities and that pub/NeoCon values are contrasted with O Vision in terms that will expose them for exactly what the pretend they are not...4 more years of same old poop without a change in sight. I suspect other O supporters know exactly what they are up against and what then need to be doing about it...and are doing it as we speak. For me, the quality of my life in the next 4 years depends ensuring Pub defeat in November and I am confident that other dems are similarly motived to do the same.
If I were ignoring them, I wouldn't have a worry
Obama's motto is tax, tax, tax, and of course, he knows he will pull so many in who will follow him because soooo many of them live off the government as it is; he's betting on them. But, of course, there are dems who woke up a long time ago to him, me included. When it smells fishy and looks fishy, it's fishy....and that's putting it mildly.
Ignoring the question is no answer.
Jobs creation. Access to training. A level playing field with wealth distribution. We shall see. It's worked well in the past.
Got anything to say in defense of W's latest blow to the economy and slap in the face to hard-working Amricans?
I am ignoring the hatred below. I agree with you.

Why do you insist on ignoring the facts?..(sm)
They are not trying to "teach our children that homosexuality is an accepted lifestyle." They are trying to teach our children how not to beat the crap out of someone who is different, including homosexuals. How hard is that to understand? If people were teaching this at home, they wouldn't have to teach it at school.
Its called TOLERANCE, not acceptance.
you keep ignoring the fact that 90% of the tortured
Abu Ghraib detainees were proved to be innocent, therefore NOT terrorists.
I do not recall that Clinton was involved in any torture, or was he?
and you keep ignoring the fact that you are trying to distract
your post is old news. Go back and then you might as well start drudging up all the stuff on prior presidents that you fell they did something wrong.
We've got enough trouble going on with the current admin to last us a lifetime.
I don't think this quote refers to ignoring a threat...
I think it speaks about creating and justifying a war, and in the Iraq war's case, a hasty and simple-minded war. I don't know what Goering's thoughts were, but my own are that war should be a last resort and that seems like common sense. This is in no sense to be construed as downplaying the threat of Islamic terrorism. I would like to mention there that a big complaint about the Iraq war was that Bush ignored or didn't wish to consider the advice of folks who had a solid background in the Middle East. The insurgency and threatening civil war were all predicted when we went to war but the advice was ignored. Bush, it seems, reversed the usual order in which a country is forced to go to war: He decided FIRST that he would go to war, then created justification, then ignored all the sage advice that Iraq was a potential powderkeg, and then he did what Goering prescribed to get the U.S. to rally around his cause (or at least some of the U.S.). That's how it appears anyway. I hope I am wrong about this but with the mounting well-documented evidence to the contrary I believe this will become the ultimate truth of the matter.
ignoring the neocons is..a good thing!
It works, Lilly. Its a breath of fresh air to ignore the neocons that frequent the liberal board just to vent their anger, LOL. After ignoring them a few times, you dont even realize they are here anymore. Now when I read posts, I totally zone in on liberal posts.
Condi Rice, OMG. I cant stand that woman!
And ignoring posters who ask intelligent questions (below) because you don't know the answers
I live very happily with myself by ignoring the gnats of society and all of their
self-righteous, superior, ignorant, totally irrelevant and insignificant DISDAIN.
Have a happy day. 
People are ignoring Sally, and for good reason.

You noticed that, too, huh? NM
I noticed
I know..guess we are winning.....YIPPEE!!
Have you noticed?
 that people on the conservative board are accusing liberals of thinking their (sic) winning because there are more posts on their board than there is on ours? It's like saying I have more friends then you do...nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
***********
I agree it's stupid.... just as stupid as it was when the very same poster did it several months ago.
************
Yeah, because they've all left and come here

on our board compared to there's. They aren't happy unless they are reprimanding us or calling us stupid, misinformed, hicks....and the list could go on and on. The numbers speak for themselves.
Have you ever noticed
Just wondering - have you ever noticed that whenever anything is being said that is not favorable and makes Obama look bad it always "taken out of context". Then you've got McCain singing "bom#, bom#, bom# Iran" or other really weird stuff and that's okay. I think the whole country is going "whacky".
You must not have noticed...
...Gov Palin doesn't use a teleprompter. She also thinks well on her feet, and is an outstanding speaker, without all the "Ums" "ers" "you knows" etc....
I say she'll trounce him.
I have definitely noticed how
both presidential candidates are not the greatest speakers. With Obama's uhs and McCain's creepy pained looking smiles. LOL! Neither one of them really do much for me in the way of speaking ability. That is one thing I have to give Bill Clinton credit for......he could deliver a speech really well.
Yes, I noticed this...
you are really fast, a devil typist, and 99% accuracy, amazing! Good for you.
Go, Obama.
gas is all i have noticed nm
x
Yes, I noticed that about you.
Your posts from even as recently as a week or 2 ago. That's why I wanted to respond to you.
Is your concern mostly for your personal situation or for the country as a whole? I think it is helpful to remember to include the media among the "not one person alive" with experience gang. They contribute a great deal to the fear factor and the more you immerse yourself in that dialog, the worse you will feel.
A few points to ponder. We are about to emerge from 8 years of W and are still standing. This in and of itself is a source of comfort for me, knowing that we have had the strength to endure that assault on our way of life (in my opinion). All the gloom and doom you are feeling is a direct byproduct of that era.
I also am encouraged that we have elected a leader who had the wisdom and judgment to manage to succeed in becoming the first black POTUS by ae 47. He correctly assessed the country as "being ready" for this giant step forward, set and stayed a course under the stormiest conditions and came out on top of it all. What he did was HUGE and I believe we have the very best person we could have at the helm. I do not believe he has come as far as he has only to become "more of the same."
If anyone is able to create opportunity out of adversity, embrace innovation, identify common cause, mobilize broadly diverse populations, promote progress, advance goals and get the job done, it would be him. Should we all fall on hard times, you must take care of yourself first, then in turn help others in need and summon up as much courage, hope and faith as you are able to find within yourself. We are all much stronger than we know and perhaps this is our time to test ourselves and rise to the challenge.
I noticed that too. nm

Have you not noticed what's not being said?
It has gotten eerily quiet among the O lovers about those wonderful tax cuts they were promised. Obama signed 5 executive orders in 3 days and NOT ONE about tax cuts for them! Amazing! Instead, he has INCREASED their taxes now to the tune of who knows how much.......... notice how all those who really believed they would get a tax cut have not spoke about it at all. They will never admit they are sitting quietly and wondering where that promise went.
All the phone calles to the white house are saying "TAX CUT" not tax increase. WOW.....not at all what Obama is reporting on his democrat-only little meetings before the cameras where he keeps assuring them the American people WANT the stimulus package.... why isn't he reporting the truth, which is we are being bombarded with phone calls which say we don't want my stimulus package.
Have you noticed
Have you noticed that Hillary looks like she's having a blast in her job. She may not be respected by the other countries, but she just smiles through it. I'll bet with all that Obama is going through I'll bet she's saying...phew! glad I didn't get into (inherit) that mess. :-) Poor Obama, I feel so bad the stress must be so bad as he's already turning gray/white. Usually that takes a couple years. Poor guy.
GT I've noticed something
the more you get your hackles up your limited vocabulary becomes that much more limited.
I have noticed this trend..
starting about Katrina time. A lot happened at the same time, Katrina, over 2000 dead, CIA leak, erroneous intelligence, gas prices, etc. etc. I have felt that even on my side of the street that there just is not much to say...it's all being exposed...for myself it is a confirmation that what I have believed all along seems to be true and for conservatives, I would guess they are staying on other boards, those that are extremely partisan in nature simply because it would be very difficult to defend much of what has taken place recently and from the get go. In 2004 I was very frightened that this country could not take 4 more years of George W. Bush but I had NO IDEA the enormity that prediction would take on. The whole thing is extremely mind-boggling and frightening.
Never noticed that before. Not that it means anything of course.....
but it IS freaky. lol.
I noticed the same thing, sam.
This smacks of hypocrisy to me and shows none of them care for us, they only care for the party they belong to. I am getting more and more bummed out with the majority of these people, and not impressed at all with the mainstream media who act like they are in a feeding frenzy, nor the people attending who seem to be exhibiting signs and symptoms of mass hysteria. I know they heard the same things I have heard as you already have posted. Wow. When Pelosi stated she would straighten this out (obama or hillary), I figured they could just skip the entire expense of this convention and have everybody text message instead. This is getting more and more to have an American Idol flavor to it! I can hardly wait for next week. Pass the popcorn and crackerjack. I already know this year I will probably vote a straight ticket which I have never done. This is primarily a dem county and if I don't have a problem with the local positions, I vote for them, but I don't want the entire senate, house and Pres to have total dem rule. Come to think of it, that goes for the republicans, too. There was a reason this was set up this way.
So you noticed that too. Sam somtimes
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Yes, I also noticed this too today. Not sure if I saw this before or not.
Could be a sign of a stroke or somethin if it was not there before. Would have to look at previous pics of him from a few days ago or so to see if it was there. Hope not. Do not wish that on anyone.
A little twitching too I noticed. nm
.
Haven't you noticed?
The posts about your so-called disaster sat up there all day yesterday and elicited next to nothing in the way of response. Noise on Focks and related subjects, like alien spaceships, come from the parallel universe and hardly qualify as real news. The only interest you will see there will be coming from the zombies marking lock-step behind the propaganda machine.

I noticed that myself. Yet during the campaign,
did he bring up his father at all? I don't remember him doing that. Now that he is the prez, he brings up a father he only met once or twice?
But face it, it was a half decent speech. If half the people that were there listen and learn, it would be worth it.
I never noticed that before.....can't remember a Mr.
a Mr Clinton, Mr. Carter, Mr. Ford, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Regan, Mr Nixon Mr. Kennedy. I do remember from time to time a Mr. Bush towards the end of his term, which surprised me... Maybe it's because I didn't pay as much attention to the news in those days. Oh well, learn something every day.
I've noticed that too!
Other than the occasional pathetic attempt to poke fun at Palin or to bash Bush, the O supporters have been strangely silent. I guess there's not much to say when you're in the path of that approaching train wreck.
That's the one word I noticed. Look into my eyes...
Follow me and you will be granted three wishes...but not before I publish my next book, sit down with terrorists and chat, be romanced by the mainstream media (oops I hope I don't get punished with a baby), and mark myself as present in the Oval office all while I am working on padding my pockets on some dirty Rezko deal. I could go on, but, well, you know, I am so modest.
I do not believe anyone is trying to start a rumor. Just something we noticed.
and hopefully it is nothing serious. but it was noticeable.
I have noticed that the closer we get to Tuesday -
The closer we get to the actual election day, the less the republicans are talking about their plan and how it would be better and shifted their focus entirely to talking about how bad Obama is and how horrible his plan would be.
I also seemed to notice that a few weeks ago when McCain left Obama out of it for a couple of days and focused on the real issues that he started gaining in the polls. It seems to me if the campain cannot even understand that the issues are what people want to hear about and run a campaign based on the issues, then how can you expect them to be able to run the United States of America the way it needs to be run?
Have you noticed how the stock market goes up
or how the media has been fueling that engine by pushing and pushing and obsessing over the cabinet appointments in search of dirt to dig up on them?
Obama has been trying to give voters a little reassurance, but I supposed lots of folks will find something wrong with that too.
Yeah, I've noticed that. (sm)
Didn't make me laugh, though. Sometime the truth isn't all that funny. 
I guess you haven't noticed...(sm)
that our national guard has been deployed in record numbers to the middle east. So, if our regular military is over there and our national guard is over there, who do you think is providing security here? If by chance we were actually targeted and invaded right now, exactly who would be fighting them off? You need to get over the fearmongering and look at the numbers.
