Stop buying from faux news or faux network advertisers!!!!! Money is the only thing these people understand!!!!! I’ve done it a few times and TOLD the advertisers why I canceled or did not choose their product: faux news advertising. It seemed to give them pause (or paws)…at any rate, boycott, boycott, boycott.

Brave New Films is a treasure, doing yeoman’s (yeowoman’s) work for all of us / US.

Now, “Halfrican” … I’m beyond astounded. How can anyone from the CBC even think of showing up on Fox? Where are the Congressional resolutions denouncing this racism?

And, the comparisons to Hitler? Where are the screams of outrage? And, I must say, I would like to see Hillary Clinton leading the charge in that attack.

And make no mistake, people. When Geraldine Ferraro opened her pie hole it was with the consent of the Clinton Campaign. None of these “accidental statements” from people close to the campaign are accidents. These are all skilled politicians, people who have been in the game for years, they ALWAYS know exactly what they are saying. They are simply people who are willing to take the fall to get a talking point injected into the narrative that they know will be effective with a certain segment of the electorate.

It’s a calculation, put it out there, distance the candidate from it, hope it takes root. The calculus is that by distancing the candidate they lose less votes than they gain by having the poison in the pool.

HRC is ‘a monster.’ She’s a vicious storm of ego, and she won’t bat an eye at costing the Democratic party the election if it gives her a chance to be the nominee. Just ask Rush, he’ll tell you - she’s the most conservative candidate in the race at this point. That may actually be true, and don’t doubt for a minute that she’s just as owned by the corporate lobby as McCain.

I wonder. I really do - if in her heart of hearts, she wouldn’t rather see McCain win than Obama? She and John certainly have a lot of the same friends.

Have what man step down? Rev. Wright is retired, and no longer pastor of the chruch.

Fox is running the media pool at the convention? Are you serious? It will be a whole week of people picking their noses or dozing off or looking as ugly as possible. And close ups of all lapels without a flag pin.

I happened to see a few minutes of The View on Monday, March 3. I saw Elizabeth (whatever her name is) spewing on “black values, black community,” etc. from Rev. Wright.

I went on-line to check it out for a 6-8th grade class I am working with, and I googled around and found that Wright had appeared on Hannity some time prior.

Elizabeth was spewing the exact same spew as Hannity. So another example of the virus is on ABC, The View. Of course Whoopi and the other African American woman tried to set Eliz straight, to no avail.

The 6-8th graders had no problem understanding what Wright was talking about. They totally could call Elizabeth on her shit. So, while the spew may work for the older generations, it don’t pass with the younger gen.

McCain accepts the support of a fanatical anti-Catholic bigot and a fanatic anti-Muslim bigot and the MSM coughs politely. Hillary is evidently surrounded by limousine racists, and the press goes into to a faux rage (except for Olberman). Then Penn/Wolfson “give” this old tape to ABC and all hell breaks loose. They (at least this morning when I was watching/reading) report this with full orgasmic hysteria, with no or little mention or comparison to McClain and Hillary and their buddies, not to mention the repugs.

Give me a break. What happened to context and analysis? Unfortunately that sophistication is now the stage occupied by Comedy Central and some blogs. Bush may leave us $10 trillion in debt, the dollar in total free fall, our privacy invaded and our global reputation in the tank. Despite this, we have this free press indulging in the worst of tabloid behavior and violating their trust to us to be the fourth estate. We have gotten that for which we paid.

I’m so glad that Obama has nothing to do with Fox and I wish all liberals would follow his example.

Snub. That. Network.

Isn’t that a fact. I was surprised she was on there. Lordy Lordy what next.

What a snark fest! I agree with one of the commenter’s suggestion that they do it with every memo… Speaking of TDS, I find it fascinating that all the rightards that Jon hosts, never have a clue that they were just punked by Jon! Last night was particularly amusing with the pig missile Perino…
