Huh . . . I don't see what the actual threat is here, aside from brain cells rotting away from watching the FOX channel and those hysteric talk show fools.

Singling out Fox and pretending that the other networks like NBC and CNN do not seriously slant their stories is absurd. CNN is a liberal democrat outlet for sure. Your only problem with Fox is that they give a fair shake to conservatives, and that they have several conservative talk show hosts. I can't stand Bill O'Reily for the most part, but don't pretend that Glenn Beck does not do a damn fine job of speaking out against infringements on the Constitution.

Do you dislike Ron Paul Republicans as well? People like myself who believe that every person should be viewed as an individual in the eyes of the government. And that no 'group' should receive more or less rights than another group? Essentially libertarianism. Do you support big government? Defecit spending? Foreign wars? Collectivism? Socialism? Interfering with the free market? Higher and higher taxes?

I mean I know that you support the Democrats for civil liberty issues, and I certainly believe that they do a much better job with gay rights than Republicans do. However, I don't see how an intelligent person like yourself can support any of the Democrats economic policies...I'm interested to hear your response.

I don't own a TV. There's nothing on there that merits spending $$$$ to watch, so I never bothered to update my regular TV. So I'll take your word for that.

Of course, back in the day, the Bush Administration was paying columnists and other writers to sneak their propaganda into their daily columns. I didn't hear too much outrage there.

The latest pile of Conservative Propaganda: DEATH PANELS.
First, FOX broadcast Sarah Palin's BS (Obama's health care plan will kill my baby):

Ann Coulter says, "Obama's plan encourages assisted suicide for the elderly." (at the 1:15 mark)

Newt Gingrich gets tied up in the issue as well:

Thanks to MSNBC, we've got the real story behind the story:

There is no Death Panel. Sheesh . . . But you didn't hear that on FOX until after all the other news outlets had the story straight.

We've had other threads establishing the twists that FOX puts on news stories over the years. I dunno if they're still on this board, but they should make some illuminating reading.

Here, Glen Beck goes over the deep edge (he should check his blood pressure) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA7-B...eature=related


And what's this -- some of Glen Beck's advertisors have had enough of his BS?

No, my problem with FOX is they're a bunch of lying lizzards. But it's not really my problem because I never watch them except for clips on Youtube where everybody can see what a bunch of lying lizzards they are.

Do you dislike Ron Paul Republicans as well?

I voted for Ron Paul. I don't know too many "Ron Paul Republicans" so I can't comment on that.

People like myself who believe that every person should be viewed as an individual in the eyes of the government. And that no 'group' should receive more or less rights than another group?

I'd be happy to see that no 'individual' got more or less rights than another individual. Why did the guy who won the Army's Soldier Of The Year award have to be kicked out later on because he was gay? And why can the military still do stupid crap like that?

I mean I know that you support the Democrats for civil liberty issues, and I certainly believe that they do a much better job with gay rights than Republicans do.

Who says I do?
There are only two viable political parties in the US. I support the Democrats most of the time because the Republicans are so awful (check out the Texas Republican PArty Platform). Republicans would be happy to throw me in prison and have a beadle come by 3 times a day to thrash me until I cried "Jesus!" Republicans don't do anything to get me any higher on Maslow's heirarchy of needs. Screw 'em.

When it comes to a choice between a balanced budget or going to prison, I'll stick with the Democrats.
