Sarah Palin definitely isn't like Barack Obama
I wanted to throw up while listening to Obama's speech today while he was addressing the United Nations. As an American, I hated hearing our so called President chopping our country down at the knees for the sake of appeasing foreign dictators and tyrants. During his speech, Obama claimed that our country is no better then other country. In the eyes of Obama, American exceptionalism is a bad thing and must be destroyed. No wonder Fidel Castro has come out and praised Obama for his thinking. I still can't recall a speech given by Obama in which he praised the American spirit, entrepreneurship and the free market system. If our country is no better then any other country, why is it then that so many people from other countries dream of coming to this country to live? Why is it that when disasters happen around the world, the first foreign country that is looked upon is the United States in order to help? I wish I could feed those questions into Obama's teleprompter. As Obama was ripping our country apart to the cheers of some of the most murderous dictators in the world, Former Governor Sarah Palin was giving a speech that was the complete opposite. Sarah Palin was speaking today at the CSLA Investor Forum in Asia. Palin's speech slammed Obama's policies and ideological thinking. In her speech she made reference to the out of control government spending. Palin said "America was spending a lot of money and it was a temporary solution. Normal people are having to pay more and more but things don't get better. The rich will leave the country and the poor will get poorer." What Sarah said is very accurate. The value of gold is at an all time high as the value of the dollar is at a new year low. The strength of the dollar is getting weaker due to the excessive accumulation of our national debt. Sarah also attacked the Federal Reserve as serving a role in the creation of the housing bubble. A commodity is harder to acquire, when there isn't enough of it to go around. It comes down to "supply vs demand" and the money supply. When the Federal Reserved started printing money and lowering interest rates after 911, the barriers to access credit in order to obtain mortgages diminished. The topics that Sarah Palin covered in her speech are the topics Obama would never utter from his lips. This line by Sarah Palin best illustrats why tens of millions of Americans are vocally expressing their outrage at the government.""We're not interested in government fixes, we're interested in freedom". People are becoming extremely angry at Obama and other elitist politicians for wanting to inject more government control into their lives at every turn. Sarah's statement is the symbol of why millions of people attended the Tea Parties across the country and on 912 and also why they attended the Town Hall meetings in such great numbers. I like Sarah Palin for several reasons. The most obvious reason has to be that she isn't Barack Obama.

Obama will never praise America and our way of life, values and the wonderful things we have done for other countries and the word. He simply cannot bring himself to praise something he hates so deeply. What is sad is to see him pandering to the depots and dictators that rant against America and us the UN as a vehicle to constantly bash the USA. Obama is a disgrace. His pathetic and cowardly decision to remove our plans for a missile shield in Poland and his open hostility toward Israel are really sad. He sucks.
I totally agree with the true fact that these bailouts did nothing good for anyone. They just helped the rich get their “Bonuses” and in stack of million dollars at a time. That’s where the money went. It didn’t help the “little people” the citizens of the US keep afloat.
Obama lied again. Israel has been in business as a Jewish thing since King Saul. The name Israel meaNS jACOB, gENESIS 32:28 gOD CHANGED jACOB'S NAME TO iSRAEL WAY BACK THEN 1473 TO 1513 bce. aRABS had Iraq and Abraham was in Ur, Iraq but went to Egypt. Abram was a Hebrew not a Jew as Arabs and Jews are Semitic but from different men. Arabs are from Joktan and Jews from Jacob. Ishamel was half Hamitic and half Semitic. Arabs didnt come from Ishamel but Joktan, a man born before Abram.
Farrahkan made Quadaffi sound like a good guy and now he is KING OF AFRICA. Wright and Farrahkan went to see Quadaffi in 2008.Quadaffi funds Farrahkan. Wright was also a Muslim. Both remain in America and will not stay in any Islamic Paradise. Wonder why. Obama didnt even go to Kenya this year. They were having a war.
palin for president
allan west for vp
All the more reason I detest Obama. He said so himself that he is a citizen of the world. That alone should have made him unfit for leadership to every reasonable and patriotic American.
I think Obama is worse than Bill Clinton!
The left went around disparaging Sarah Palin and yet she has proven not only to be more qualified than Obama she actually loves this country and is a decent person too!
I'm sick of idiots calling people who criticize Obama racist!
Obama is all about himself! He and his wife only care about living the good life they don't care about this country. I would have more respect for the Obamas if they left this country.
Reading your post is like luxuriating in a nice bath. Aaahhh...
Mrs. Palin is right in her criticisms and observations. As you pointed out, however, no one will parse her words for any semblance of truth but instead malign her cruelly. To be Obama indeed.
Sorry everyone about the last part of the story. It's been edited.
Mr. Tent Trash "Obama will never praise America and our way of life, values and the wonderful things we have done for other countries and the word."
I'm still trying to find a speech in which Obama said actually nice things about this country allan! Do you know how weird it is for me to say that? I can't find anything from a President of the United States saying good things about his own country!! Your right, he does hate this country period. He absorbed every word from Jeremiah Wright. His own wife wasn't proud of her country until they nominated her husband for president! Alan, I can't name any of Obama's known associates that don't have a anti America activist past. He sucks alright. Obama sucks more then a Kirby vacuum cleaner.
suans banks "I totally agree with the true fact that these bailouts did nothing good for anyone. They just helped the rich get their “Bonuses” and in stack of million dollars at a time. That’s where the money went. It didn’t help the “little people” the citizens of the US keep afloat."
Susan, did you know that a lot of liberals work on Wall Street? Goldman Sachs is full of them. It's no big surprise that Wall street was bailed out with our money. Alan Greenspan is a liberal and Obama supporter. Right know, private industries are being gobbled up like in a game of Ms Pacman. Bush started and Obama has accelerated it. Speaking of the right getting their bonuses. Susan,did you also know that AIG and Citibank partially sprang for the expenses of Obama's inauguration? People in Washington DC are thieves and liars. Obama got people focused on the bonuses that executives at AIG were set to get as a way to take the attention off of the fact that AIG needed $50 billion dollars more in aid. Once AIG got it's cash, then the bonus outrage mysteriously got silent. Obama played people like a violin.
bebe "Obama lied again. Israel has been in business as a Jewish thing since King Saul"
All I can say bebe is that I hope Israel can hold out until the 2012 election, lol. The state of Israel is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Obama will cut off financial aid to Israel if Ehud Olmert and Netanyahu don't screw their own people over by dismantling the settlements.Barack Obama and the U.N are nothing but garbage. I wish I could ask American Jews are they proud of their votes for Obama. Now that I think about it, what anti semite wouldn't be pleased with the actions of Obama against Israel? I just noticed something bebe. Do you remember a few weeks ago when Obama gave his VIDEOO greeting to Muslims celebrating Ramadan? I noticed that Obama didn't do the same for Jews celebrating Rosh Hashanah. I wonder why?
almondtea "All the more reason I detest Obama. He said so himself that he is a citizen of the world. That alone should have made him unfit for leadership to every reasonable and patriotic American."
I detest him time two almondtea. The media isn't going to report the fact that murderous, villainous, oppressors were APPLAUDING Obama. This event today validated all of our statements, and comments about who the real Barack Obama is. At this point almondtea, I almost starting to think that outside forces made it possible for John McCain to win the Republican nomination just because those forces knew what the end result would be. I normally not a conspiracy nut, but these days I really have to wonder.
almondtea "I think Obama is worse than Bill Clinton!The left went around disparaging Sarah Palin and yet she has proven not only to be more qualified than Obama she actually loves this country and is a decent person too!
I trust Sarah Palin. It's hard for a person to say they trust a person in politics, so that is saying a lot almondtea. Her trustworthiness is one of her appealing qualities. Barack Obama on the other hand is a pathological liar times infinity. I will give him the benefit of the doubt. Either is is the most unaware person ever to be elected president OR he is the most deceptive person ever elected president. It has to be one or the other. Obama has slick willy beat. Here's the difference between the two almondtea. When Bill Clinton lied, it was easy to almost believe what he was saying was actually true. He was very convincing plus he had the charm to make his words. Barack Obama doesn't have any charm and he is a terrible liar.
Almondtea "I'm sick of idiots calling people who criticize Obama racist!
Obama is all about himself! He and his wife only care about living the good life they don't care about this country. I would have more respect for the Obamas if they left this country."
Hell, that's the only trick phony they have to use against Obama's critics. The reason why liberals are using the race card to death is because the blame Bush cow has run out of milk. Bush can't be blamed for Obama's agenda. Liberals thought they could just invoke the name of Bush whenever Obama got into a jam and all would be fine.They've found out that it doesn't work like that. Cap & Tax, Government Health care, pulling out of Afghanistan and other stuff is all Obama and Democrats doing.People are getting upset over being labeled racists for merely disagreeing with Obama. Obama has lost major support among Independent voters. Those voters are overwhelmingly white. So the race card strategy is backfiring hard on the left.
Many blacks are now waking up to Obama. Muslims have threatened his life and they will blame the JEWS.
Osumashi Kinyobe "Reading your post is like luxuriating in a nice bath. Aaahhh...
Mrs. Palin is right in her criticisms and observations. As you pointed out, however, no one will parse her words for any semblance of truth but instead malign her cruelly. To be Obama indeed."
Now I'm going to blush,lol. Thank you for the compliment Osumashi. Sarah Palin is beyond a threat to her enemies. Sarah made her "death panels" comment well over a month ago, and liberals still are trying to discredit her comments to this day. I've noticed something interesting in the linked story from Bloomberg. They mentioned Sarah as a potential 2012 candidate. According to the left, Sarah Palin is through in politics. I've read other stories this week that also mentioned Sarah Palin as a 2012 candidate. Liberals serously miscalculated. They thought that just "personally" attacking her was going to be enough to discredit her and make her go away. That didn't happen by a long shot. Sarah Palin is attacking Obama almost on every issue, and she is having an impact. She basically forced Obama to attack her in his prime time news conference two weeks ago. Liberals have to be cruel, because they never have the facts going in their favor.
So "NOW" it's okay for a private citizen (which Palin is..) to slam an American presidents policies on foreign soil? Can anyone say "Dixie Chicks"??
Again I must ask why...
Why are conservatives "okay" with Palin slamming President Obama's policies on foreign soil, when they emphatically denounce the exact same actions from other American citizens?
Why was it deemed "unpatriotic" for Natalie Maines to voice her opinions on foreign soil, yet not for Sarah Palin?
Even if you agree with what Palin said, was it not conservatives that said "IT IS THE PRINCIPLE" of trashing America (or it's leaders) on foreign soil was akin to treason?
Thus, my question is not to imply that Palin should be denounced, vilified or boycotted (such as was done to the Dixie Chicks). It's obvious to me as to why "ALL" of you agree with what she said. Yet that isn't my point. My point is not what Maines nor Palin had to say.
My question goes right to the point of the conservative claims of "PRINCIPLE"!
The question I think you all should answer is "WHY" you all deem it oaky to trash "THIS" American president on foreign soil, and not the previous president! (what principles do you now hold with regaurd to "trashing America" on foriegn soil?)
p allen "So "NOW" it's okay for a private citizen (which Palin is..) to slam an American presidents policies on foreign soil? Can anyone say "Dixie Chicks"??"
You thought you had a gotcha moment didn't you allen? The Dixie Chicks are entertainers and are paid to entertain people. Nobody pays them for their opinions on foreign or domestic policy.So when the Dixie Chicks spouted off about Bush, they went out of their way in inject how that felt. Sarah Palin on the other hand was paid $300,000 to give a speech on her thoughts about issues that directly and in directly impacts the U.S and World economies. Nice try allen. If you think I'm blowing smoke. Look up the background of the group that invited Palin to speak, Also, Obama's fiscal policies have an direct impact on the global economy and investing. So what Sarah had to say tied right into why she was invited to speak. The Dixie Chicks couldn't' say the same.
p allen "Why are conservatives "okay" with Palin slamming President Obama's policies on foreign soil, when they emphatically denounce the exact same actions from other American citizens?"
Even though I answer that question, I'll do it again. Palin didn't slam Obama allen. She slammed his economic polices. The Dixie Chicks personally went after Bush. The Dixie Chicks were hired to sing. Sarah Palin hired to give her opinion on the global economy. You can't make 3 out of 2 allen.
Gush away!
P Anthony Allen, Mrs. Palin has every right to criticise the current administration as people did in previous administrations. I have serious doubts about China and Islamofascism, ergo, take her comments about those topics with a grain of salt. Everything else she said was quite valid. The US is facing various crises from within. One cannot deny that Obama's spend-crazy policies cannot be good for a country in debt. These are valid observations.
As for the Dixie Chicks, there was no government conspiracy. A consumerist society reacted to controversial remarks the lead singer made. End of story.
CB;"You thought you had a gotcha moment didn't you allen?".
Not at first Tyrone...The "gotcha" part came with your response!
I asked you; Why is it okay for a private citizen to slam an American presidents POLICIES on foreign soil?.
You answered; "Palin didn't slam Obama allen. She slammed his economic polices"
and that,
Sarah Palin hired to give her opinion on the global economy.
.
As I said, "NOW" it's okay for Sarah Palin to go around the world and "slam" her own presidents policies and be "PAID" to do it! There are certain Obama administration policies that I don't like. Hell, give me 300 grand, I'll promote the economic policies of a billy goat!!
To be honest, Palin really didn't have much to say in the first place. Last night I had a chance to read most of the twitter of the speech, and most of it was basically mundane and boring.
I was speaking of the "matter of principle" which many conservatives used to attack the Dixie Chicks. Thats why I noted; my point is not what Maine's nor Palin had to say, but the fact that it was done on foreign soil.
As far as the "gotcha", of course you've be caught with a lump in your throat. You can't answer that question because you don't what to be viewed as stupid as she is!
I asked you, why, in principle is it okay for Sarah Palin to "slam" an American Presidents policies, and "not okay" for a Natalie Maines?? You answered...ha...tee-hee, duhhhhh "cuz Palin didn't slam Obama, she slammed his policies"! Guffaw!!!
Frankly I believe Palin was used as a "Dog & Pony side show." I read that this investment group often uses cheesy gimmicks and animated characters to promote it's business.
After listening to some of the speech (that someone had to sneak and record) and reading some of the so-called "highlights", again I'm thoroughly convinced Palin is a "dim-wit"!!!
I am NOT a citizen of the world nor will I ever be one. I'm an American and a christian conservative. More and more, Obama scares the heck outta me. There is NO telling what this man will do or what will be exposed over the next 3 and 1/2 years.
It's great to meet you, Tyrone. I heard you on WCBM with Tom Marr as I was listening to talk radio off the internet. I quickly typed in your url. You've made my Friday! *grin*
all my best,
Friday
I think p.anthony.allen missed the point. Palin was asked to speak and give her opinion about Obama's policiies. Maines was supposed to be entertaining fans who were there for a music concert. By that same token p.allen, I don't recall any of the left condemning Pelosi or Reid for their slamming of President Bush. They were considered brave and heroic for being dissenters. I'll take it one step further with this question: How many sitting Presidents condemn/bad-mouth/blame/ former Presidents,their policies and their administrations?
Answer: Only one - Obama.
Mr. Trash,
Had you actually heard Pres. Obama's speech to the Europeans instead of relying on Fake... I mean fox news then you would have seen him praise the USA. After the so called arrogant American part he criticized the Europeans for looking down on us. He also brought up the advances and generosity that this country has shown the world. He mentioned dhow we pulled Europe out of the ashes of WWII. So yes he has praised America many times. Stop believing everything you hear on false.. oops there I go again, I mean fox news and actually research for yourself.
I guess that means it won't get posted. Too bad.
Eddie "Mr. Trash,Had you actually heard Pres. Obama's speech to the Europeans instead of relying on Fake... I mean fox news then you would have seen him praise the USA."
I know your childish comments were directed to allan, but I'm bored. So I want to have a little fun. Your Fox News aka Fake News comment is slightly beyond a kindergartens mindset. I keep hearing that childish fake news spew, yet Fox News destroys MSNBC and CNN COMBINED with room spare night after night. It has gotten so bad for CNN and MSBNC that their highest rated shows still comes in last place against Fox New's lowest rated show. The network media's viewers are turning them off left and right. The latest poll shows that most Americans don't trust the national media's coverage period. The newspapers are going out of business almost on a weekly basis. Fox New's ratings are at an all time hight while other are barely hanging on. I know the truth isn't your friend eddie, but there is a reason for that. I know you wouldn't have dare asked where was the media in regards to discovering Van Jones and showing the undercover footage of Acorn. By the rest of the media turning the other way, they stained their own credibility. Because people are wondering why is it that Fox News did their job and the rest of the media didn't.
eddie "After the so called arrogant American part he criticized the Europeans for looking down on us. He also brought up the advances and generosity that this country has shown the world."
So be bashed America for only 80 out of 100% of the time during his speech. Wow, I guess we should only focus on the 20% of the speech in which he said something good about his country and just forget the 80% that was negative. Spare me please.
eddie "He mentioned dhow we pulled Europe out of the ashes of WWII. So yes he has praised America many times. Stop believing everything you hear on false.. oops there I go again, I mean fox news and actually research for yourself."
The problem when you assume eddie, you leave yourself open to criticism when you are wrong. You failed to mention that Obama's speech was carried on CNN, MSNBC and CSPSAN as well. So your Fox News crying is pretty lame. Also, people who watched Obama's speech know exactly what he said. Fox News can't put words into Obama's mouth or make them sound any different when they come out. So if you believe that Fox News has some sort of mystical powers to manipulate what Obama says, you might want to consider adjusting your tinfoil hat to frequency 34.3.
Eddie "I guess that means it won't get posted. Too bad."
There isn't a time frame in which a post is published eddie. This may come as a shock to you, but this blog doesn't exist to post your comments in a time span that you deem necessary. Did that help any? I hope it did.
Hello Conservative Brother,
Let me first say that I was wrong in that I thought that my comment would probably not be posted. My experience with conservative media led me to assume alternative comments would be restricted.
Now for some more fun. I'll try to be more adult about F..uh, Fo.. Oh I can't ... resist... must... try... Nooooo Faulty news. Sorry it had to come out.
CB:"yet Fox News destroys MSNBC and CNN COMBINED with room spare night after night. It has gotten so bad for CNN and MSBNC that their highest rated shows still comes in last place against Fox New's lowest rated show."
I'd like to point you to FAIR's article on Fallacy News' supposed ratings superiority. Check it out here:http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2005. And in case your wondering FAIR which stands for Fairness and Accuracy in Media is non partisan. Fox News (there I said it)and the term Fair and balanced, by the way is an oxymoron.
They reported on how cumes are what really count. CNN's Cumes were 20% higher than Phony News.
Now this was in 2004 and the numbers have changed to Fib News' favor but CNN still leads in cumes. Think of it this way; More People tune in to CNN for real news for a shorter period of time while less sheep tune to Fraudulent News for reinforcement of what they believe for a longer period of time.
I like how you started to counter my childish antics but you messed up when you started on with the ratings bit(Typical of Forged News followers). Nice try at diversion but when You have Hannity basically taking only part of the speech Obama gave and turning it into an anti American speech or when Faux News advertises that they were the only ones covering the 9/12 march well... you know, the only conclusion I and most thinking people can make is that you have no use for truth in reporting if it gets in the way of your ideology.
"So he bashed America for only 80 out of 100% of the time during his speech. Wow, I guess we should only focus on the 20% of the speech in which he said something good about his country and just forget the 80% that was negative. Spare me please." I guess you can actually quantify what is in Obama's mind as he speaks. And since when is it wrong to criticize one's own country if it has made mistakes. We learn from them you know.
"The problem when you assume eddie, you leave yourself open to criticism when you are wrong. You failed to mention that Obama's speech was carried on CNN, MSNBC and CSPSAN as well." Why should I have mentioned that since It's obvious that they did. CSPAN has the best coverage of all of them by the way.I think we can agree on that unless you are so brainwashed by FUNKY NEWS( It"s getting hard to find synonyms for the word lie that begin with the letter F).
"Fox News can't put words into Obama's mouth or make them sound any different when they come out." Are you kidding? Just watch Hannity on most nights.
I hope I wasn't being too childish.
eddie "et me first say that I was wrong in that I thought that my comment would probably not be posted. My experience with conservative media led me to assume alternative comments would be restricted."
Wow, a liberal admitting he was wrong? What's going to happen next, those "shovel ready" jobs Obama are going to start falling from the sky.lol Seeing that apologizing isn't really in the a liberal's vocabulary, I commend you for going against the grain eddie.
eddie "Now for some more fun. I'll try to be more adult about F..uh, Fo.. Oh I can't ... resist... must... try... Nooooo Faulty news. Sorry it had to come out."
The faulty news as you put it is coming from other "news" outlets. Fox is number one for a reason. It is what it is. If you can explain why MSNBC and CNN can barely draw in a million viewers in prime time compared to Fox's average of 3 million, I'm all ears.
CNN calls itself "the most trusted name in news". If that was truly the fact, it's ratings would support that claim.
eddie" I'd like to point you to FAIR's article on Fallacy News' supposed ratings superiority. Check it out here:http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2005.

I get the ratings from Nielson, the industry that actually tracks the ratings on which the industry relies. I can easily create a wide site and claim that I am non partisan too, imagine that. That does make me non partisan lol
eddie "They reported on how cumes are what really count. CNN's Cumes were 20% higher than Phony News."
Here's an interesting story from the flagship LIBERAL BLOG the Huffington Post on the ratings of Fox News. I guess they were just "misinformed".

Think of it this way; More People tune in to CNN for real news for a shorter period of time while less sheep tune to Fraudulent News for reinforcement of what they believe for a longer period of time.
As I stated before, "FAIR" isn't the official source for which cable ratings are accumulated. When cable news outlets talk to advertisers for buy rates, do you think they bring up what "FAIR" says about age demographics, rating segmens and industry trends?lol lol
eddie "I like how you started to counter my childish antics but you messed up when you started on with the ratings bit(Typical of Forged News followers)."
How do you know I'm a "Fox News follower"?Are you a CNN follower? As for the ratings bit, I stated the facts from the source that tracks ratings. So you brought blankets to a gun fights. That wasn't wise but it was funny.
eddie "Nice try at diversion but when You have Hannity basically taking only part of the speech Obama gave and turning it into an anti American speech or when Faux News advertises that they were the only ones covering the 9/12 march well..."
The last time I checked Sean Hannity is a news "commentator" not a news reporter"anchorperson nor "journalist". He gets paid for his opinion. His job isn't to present the liberal side to an argument.Are Chris Mathew, Keith Olberman and Rachael Maddow "reporters" or News Commentators eddie? Let me answer that question for you. They are liberal news "COMMENTATORS". The only difference between the commentators on Fox News and the ones on MSNBC is that people actually watch the ones on Fox News.
Eddie " And since when is it wrong to criticize one's own country if it has made mistakes. We learn from them you know.
For liberals to criticize America is as natural as breathing, so I wouldn't expect you to understand eddie. Obama goes out of his way to find fault with our country. The speech at the UN was nothing more then tearing down America to appease people who hate America in the first place.
eddie " CSPAN has the best coverage of all of them by the way.I think we can agree on that unless you are so brainwashed by FUNKY NEWS( It"s getting hard to find synonyms for the word lie that begin with the letter F)."
CSPAN isn't a cable news outlet. I just thought I'd let you know that.
eddie ""Fox News can't put words into Obama's mouth or make them sound any different when they come out." Are you kidding? Just watch Hannity on most nights."
Out of all the people on Fox News, the only person you can mention is a person who isn't even a Fox News reporter or anchor. That should tell you something right there eddie. Look up the definition of News COMMENTATOR. Then get back to me on your findings.
eddie "I hope I wasn't being too childish"
It was still childish with the faux news thing, but it was still very entertaining though. Thank you :-)
No problem. If you can't have a sense of humor with this then what's the point? American news is the worst in the world and we are the most misinformed of any population in the western world.
Of course CSPAN is not a news outlet. I said it has the best coverage. They present both sides with an even hand and no stupidity.
"Out of all the people on Fox News, the only person you can mention is a person who isn't even a Fox News reporter or anchor. "
Sean Hannity comes to mind first because he's the biggest liar there but we also have Bill(the loofa)O'Reilly and Glenn(the art critic)Beck too. While you are correct these clowns are not reporters or even journalists (I have heard Hannity claim that he was once, I almost fell out of my seat)People don't go to Fox for news. They go for biased commentary or for laughs. I actually typed Fox... There I did it again!!
I must be growing up.
Chris Wallace and Brit Hume are supposed to be journalists but I have my doubts. There are others like Keith Olberman but he doesn't claim to be one. Lou Dobbs used to be one before he went all birther on everyone. See not just Fooey News (uh oh I'm regressing)
"Wow, a liberal admitting he was wrong? What's going to happen next, those "shovel ready" jobs Obama are going to start falling from the sky.lol Seeing that apologizing isn't really in the a liberal's vocabulary, I commend you for going against the grain eddie." I try but wasn't it Dubya who couldn't admit to any mistakes. From all the conservatives I've experienced admitting to faults is not natural especially when faced with facts.
"I get the ratings from Nielson, the industry that actually tracks the ratings on which the industry relies. I can easily create a wide site and claim that I am non partisan too, imagine that. That does make me non partisan lol" I never said FAIR is the source. They and others have reported on this. By the way the cumes are collected by Nielson.
"Here's an interesting story from the flagship LIBERAL BLOG the Huffington Post on the ratings of Fox News. I guess they were just "misinformed".
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/22/fox-news-ratings-remain-s_n_295255.html" That's avg. viewers, I'd like to see the cumes for that time period.Here's a link which you will find interesting- http://www.stateofthemedia.org/2009/narrative_cabletv_audience.php?cat=1
It does a better explanation of the cumes than Could ever hope to. Again the cumes for CNN and MSNBC are higher than Phony News. More people tune in to get their news on the former two than the latter. Fooey News is able to hold more viwers than MSNBC or CNN. Although both CNN and MSNBC have increased viewership greater than Funny News.
Huff Po was not misinformed they were just reporting accurately.
"How do you know I'm a "Fox News follower"" I never said you were, I just stated that Fox lemmings Use that same argument all the time. Just because something is popular doesn't make it good. ie: American Idol, New York Post, the Jonas Brothers... Nope not CNN or MSNBC. I get my news from various sources including the foreign (I can hear the conservatives,reading this,gasp in horror) press.
"Are Chris Mathew, Keith Olberman and Rachael Maddow "reporters" or News Commentators eddie? Let me answer that question for you. They are liberal news "COMMENTATORS". The only difference between the commentators on Fox News and the ones on MSNBC is that people actually watch the ones on Fox News." I agree, but the problem with Fill in the blank News is that the line between reporting and commenting is blurred, more so than than on MSNBC or CNN.
Eddie said...I agree, but the problem with Fill in the blank News is that the line between reporting and commenting is blurred, more so than than on MSNBC or CNN.
Really? Do you remember the coverage of the Town Hall attendee who showed up with his guns? I seem to recall that MSNBC and CNN only happened to show tight shots of the person (mainly showing the guns) while claiming that attenedees were there because they were racists. Oddly, Fox News showed the same person with his guns but they panned out to show that the person was a black man.
ACORN and it's problems have been covered by Fox News on numerous occasions. MSNBC and CNN rarely mention the problems with ACORN.
Van Jones was a self-described Communist who made numerous inflammatory/racially biased statements. He was also associated with the Truthers (who believed that 9/11 was an inside job). None of these things were ever covered by MSNBC or CNN until Jones announced his retirement.
Those are just a couple of examples of the lack of unbiased reporting that regularly occurs on CNN and MSNBC.
Hello Frank,
"Really? Do you remember the coverage of the Town Hall attendee who showed up with his guns? I seem to recall that MSNBC and CNN only happened to show tight shots of the person (mainly showing the guns) while claiming that attenedees were there because they were racists."
First of all it was MSNBC that did that and not CNN. That was a cheap shot right out of Fox's playbook.
Secondly There were eleven other people there with guns. I think I'd be more concerened about a bunch of right wing loonies bringing guns to a meeting where the POTUS is speaking than what MSNBC did second amendment notwithstanding. MSNBC blew it but the way Obama has been treated It's no wonder some people claim racism.
"ACORN and it's problems have been covered by Fox News on numerous occasions. MSNBC and CNN rarely mention the problems with ACORN."
ACORN has been around for about forty years. Where has Fink News been all these years? Why didn't they report on ACORN two,three, four,or even five years ago. Oh wait, Obama came on the scene recently.
"Van Jones was a self-described Communist who made numerous inflammatory/racially biased statements. He was also associated with the Truthers (who believed that 9/11 was an inside job). None of these things were ever covered by MSNBC or CNN until Jones announced his retirement."
You obviously don't watch these channels. Since when has it been a crime to be a communist? We do have a first amendment don't we? By the way, where is the plane that crashed in Shanksville?

how's this?

They all do it.
Alright Eddie, 11 other people there with guns who weren't covered by MSNBC or CNN. You'll notice that I actually use the real names of the news agencies instead of making them up. I find it interesting that you do that. You feel the need to attack Fox News because you don't agree with them. I don't agree with CNN or MSNBC but you don't see me attacking them - I point out their inconsistencies in reporting.
Fox News began covering ACORN when they came to the national scene in support of Obama. Obama brought ACORN to the national scene by openly supporting them and using his time as their attorney to explain his qualifications. ACORN is supposed to be a non-partisan group but they've never supported any conservation candidate.
Eddie, I never mentioned nor did I allude that it was a crime to be a communist. I pointed out that Jones was never called out about being a communist by CNN or MSNBC; nor was he called out for his radical views.
You mentioned FAIR and I laughed because even Wikipedia (which can be updated/changed by anyone for any reason) lists FAIR as a "Progressive" (the new term being used in place of Liberal) Media Watch group. You basically make my point for me about the liberal (or progressive - take your pick) news media.

Actually Eddie, Fox News began reporting about ACORN back in 2004 when they became involved with voter registration fraud allegations. Since then, there have been a few ACORN representatives who have been convicted. There are stories on the web site that go as far back as Oct. 2004 in which ACORN was accused of voter registration fraud. Here's one:

You also ask: By the way, where is the plane that crashed in Shanksville?
The plane crashed into a reclaimed coal strip mine in Stonycreek Township at 10:03:11. The National Transportation Safety Board reported that the flight impacted at 563 miles per hour (906 km/h) at a 40 degree nose-down
I'm curious about something. By asking that question are you implying that the Boeing 757 airplane is somewhere intact and the brave men and women of that flight are somewhere alive; being kept away from their families to further some political plot? If so, that is the most ludicrous thing I have yet to read from anyone who posts here.
"Actually Eddie, Fox News began reporting about ACORN back in 2004 when they became involved with voter registration fraud allegations." Again 40 years of ACORN and they began in 2004! Seriously, all the anti ACORN barrage since Obama doesn't equal one story in 2004 or the trickle that may have happened before Obama. By the way that case was dismissed. I wonder if Fox covered that.

No. Its funny you bring that up. You must be watching too many 9/11 truth videos. I would like to know what happened to the wreckage since it's kind of inconsistent that (1)very little of the large pieces have been recovered and (2)the debris field seemed to have been spread out over a greater distance than what should have been produced with that kind of a crash.

First of all MSNBC is a liberal version of Fox. And even though I consider myself a liberal I can see some of the faults that it has. CNN, does a decent job as far as I'm concerned even though they could stay above the fray. The reason I pick on Fox is that there is a hypocritical double standard(is that redundant?) that just plain stinks and it's fun too (I ran out of synonyms that begin with the letter F for lie). Like I said in an earlier post I get my news from various sources so it saddens me when I talk to people who trust Fox so much(not that you're one of them)that it's their only source because of some supposed left wing domination of the news. The American media is the worst of all the major national media CNN, MSNBC, Fox, CBS, etc... included
"I never mentioned nor did I allude that it was a crime to be a communist. I pointed out that Jones was never called out about being a communist by CNN or MSNBC; nor was he called out for his radical views."
Again if it's not a crime then why be called out on it? Except to make Obama as unpalatable as possible to the American public.
As for his "radical views" He probably wouldn't last long in his position even if Fox hadn't called him out on it. Our political system is too entrenched in its ways. There are too many scared interests.
While that one case may have been dismissed, there are several others that haven't been dismissed. Fox picked up on ACORN because of the numerous allegations of voter fraud throughout the country. Since then, Fox had been keeping up on ACORN and their numerous problems; which have nothing to do with Obama. As a matter of fact, there are only three Fox News commentators who link Obama to ACORN on a regular basis - Beck, Hannity and O'Reilly. There will soon be an investigation into ACORN initiated by the Senate and the Justice Department.
I used to live in Middle River, MD. There was an F-15 that crashed not far from Martin State Airport. There were no large pieces that were found from the jet. The debris spread was about the size of a city block.
I, too, get my news from more than just Fox. I rely on the internet which allows me to investigate and research things before I make an opinion.
As far as Van Jones is concerned, his ideology is in opposition to our Constitution. Communism doesn't promote life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Anyone who supports our Constitution should be opposed to socialism or communism. By the way, Obama doesn't need any additional help with being unpalatable to the American public. He's doing just fine on his own.
"Since then, Fox had been keeping up on ACORN and their numerous problems; which have nothing to do with Obama."
The problems may have nothing to do with Obama but that's besides the point. Acorn is a Target because Fox see a connection to
Obama which they can exploit to further their attacks on Obama.
As I've mentioned before, Most of their attacks on ACORN have occured after Obama became a threat to their interests.
"Fox News began covering ACORN when they came to the national scene in support of Obama. Obama brought ACORN to the national scene by openly supporting them and using his time as their attorney to explain his qualifications.
ACORN is a nonpartisan organization, but its LEGALLY SEPARATE political action arm frequently champions left-leaning causes, and endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in 2008.
From Wikipedia here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_Community_Organizations_for_Reform_Now
The wikipedia article is pretty straight forward
"I used to live in Middle River, MD. There was an F-15 that crashed not far from Martin State Airport. There were no large pieces that were found from the jet. The debris spread was about the size of a city block."
Flight 93's debris field was about eight miles. That's unheard of for an airplane crash.
"Anyone who supports our Constitution should be opposed to socialism or communism"
Socialism and communism are economic systems not political. You may think they are part of some spectrum but trust me they are not. There is no Constitutional guarantee to make money. Our rights and freedoms are protected though. The classic conservative point of attack is to bring up Cuba Or the old USSR as examples of freedom robbing socialist states. But I never hear of any mention of That great bastion of socialistic freedom robbing dictatorship known as Europe. I mean those people are practically living in a police state. What about those Canadians? They have socialism there. Just count all of those freedom loving Canadians trying to escape their tyrannical rulers. By the way There has yet to be a true communist state. CApitalism vs Socialism ok. Democracy vs. facism ok. Democracy vs. Socialism not ok.
Sorry,
communism is both.
