It's comments like that that really set you apart, old friend.

The truth is just that. If you consider them 'four letter words' then you should reconsider your position.

Along the same lines is one of my favourites

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt 26th president of US (1858 - 1919)

That has to be the worst comparison I've seen. Almost ever.

I don't know if you've done your homework but MoveOn.org was created to defend a liberal president guilty of perjury. It's also very much not an accredited media company, but a website paragon of liberal hate and intoleration.

You must be pretty d@mn deluded if you believe MoveOn.org is in any way a font of reporting integrity.

It only further proves to me that we need another Jonestown-like migration and self-purging of liberal moonbats who will believe anything. :doh:

The same thing can be said of Fox News. I don't want tthis to read like "they did worse, so it's OK", but it should be kept in mind that Fox don't really report, they cheat and imply. As do CBS/NBC/NYT, but not nearly as insidiously or with such persistence.

I won't go so far as to suggest that you drink poisoned Kool-aid in a Jonestown-like purge but you are indeed delusional if you are honestly trying to compare Fox to MoveOn.org.

Why don't you offer some SPECIFIC examples of this pervasive Fox bias - on the NEWS shows - not O'Reilly and those talking head roundtables??? We'll wait - it shouldn't take you long as the bias is so PERVASIVE, right? And I mean you - not political hack sites like MediaMatters.

Interesting thing with right wingers. Always accusing the left of hate and intoleration all while hating and not tolerating the left...:lol:

I did'nt say that, you did. But it is a movement large enough to gain national attention and to attract every democrat running for President...You just dont like it. So, friggin, what?

Sip sip sip the kool aid, Brian Jones. The very depth of your hypocricy and double standards is laughable at best. I like smart people that disagree with me. I love discussing issues with people who think i'm wrong. I dont waste my time on hard liners with enough hate in their ruptured little hearts that they cant make a point without making personal attacks. I know this is what Rush and Bill O taught you, but I fear it will not serve you well, as it has not here, where you only end up looking foolish. I'm sure (I hope?) you can do better.

Moving on,....(no pun intended. Maybe.)

It's quite reciprocal between the two. Our conversation would'nt be happening if my right-thinking didn't think badly of your left-thinking and likewise. Do I burn crosses in your front yard? No. But I will freely tell you what I think, which I have. No wrongdoing there.

I still can't turn the tv on and see MoveOn.org or any AP-like news stories hitting the newspaper in the morning. It's a partisan political hack website if ever there was one, and there is no comparison to any news network in existance. So.. are you saying that MoveOn.org should host presidential debates in the future? Are you saying that Fox is comparable to MoveOn in their bias? LOL.

You realize Jones was an extremist liberal don't you? Now I'm being a hypocrit for being a crazy liberal? I don't think many people could say that about me with a straight face. :rotfl:

Also.. I don't watch Rush and Bill O to feed my "hate..ruptured little heart". Incorrect once again. Hypocrit indeed. Keep fishing for that angle.

I think the candidates should boycot debates on NBC and CBS. The Imius situation shows the lack of tolerance these stations have. Can you imagine the uproar if Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reily said what Imus said.

wound 04-13-07 01:14 AM

yeah, republican candidates should return the favor and boycot the liberal media hosted debates *roll*

I personally think it is ridiculous for any presidential candidate to turn down free air time on the most watched cable news network no matter how biased they are.

Fox news is not some backwater public access channel. They have more viewers than CNN, MSNBC, Bloomberg, or any of the others. They are availible in over 85 million households. They are a legitimate and fair news outlet. Their OPINION AND EDITORIAL shows are very right wing biased, but it only stands out because you don't see ANY right wing biased opinion shows on ANY of the other major networks. I can count lots of left wing biased ones though.

Turning down a debate there shows a complete lack of respect for centerists or moderates who may get their news there and it shows it a complete lack of credibility when they are not willing to stand up and face hard questions posed by some of their toughest critics.

Its like they only want to preach to the choir but not the "sinners" heh. Pretty weak if you ask me.

Check out the bite here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Foley_scandal

I think the pun intended was that on the screenie of Fox News, he's listed as a democrat. He was actually a Republican who "championed" for kids who were sexually abused on the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children.

I failed to notice the "D" - so shoot me. That was - obviosly - a mistake. Or are you stating it was "delibrate distortion"?

Now, back to my main point, which you failed to address BTW; what was the context of the story???? Was it not a follow-up on this pervy character and the reason he resigned from congress? If so then that invalidates your example. If not then what was it exactly. Tell us so we can fairly judge your example.

1. The GoP

I guess the Democratic party only has a problem with public figures having sex with minors when they aren't Democrats.
