Damn Media Matters. Always typing out the stuff they say on Fox News. When will they stop being jerks?

Jesus wept.

Aarontology: Between this and that lady who said women should expect to be raped and that the military shouldn't do anything about it, Fox News is having a hell of a week.

Plus there was the Politico article yesterday that said Republicans are abandoning Fox News because more than 70% of viewers think Fox has gone to the left recently.

make me some tea: gimmegimme: Damn Media Matters. Always typing out the stuff they say on Fox News. When will they stop being jerks?

What do you expect from Soros-funded lie machines?

Seriously! You're not supposed to remember or fact-check the stuff they say on Fox News. It's more about the feeling.

I feel sorry for Fox News viewers.

The world has got to be a terrifying place for them.

Eddie Adams from Torrance: cman: Oh for farks sake

Lets make this crystal clear:

Iraq had absolutely no ties to the 9/11 hijackers.

Christ, you idiots are almost as bad as birthers

So you're saying that Saddam probably did 9/11?

Are you just asking questions here?

And that poor pretty blonde lady will probably never be on Fox again.

Because he knows the mouth-breathers that rely on Fox as a news source will believe anything?

vernonFL: Footsteps lead to Saddam

[andriathompson.files.wordpress.com image 640x853]

Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein were walking in the sand, and bin Laden noticed that during the toughest parts of his 9/11 planning, there were only one set of footsteps. He asked Saddam, "Why weren't you with me during the tough times?"

Saddam answered, "During the tough times, I was carrying you"

Gets better every thread. Never give up.

Anybody notice how the right wing media has been going after Media Matters this week? Daily Caller and Breitbart have been incestuously reporting on each other's blurbs and touring the blog circuit pretty heavily -- like it was to be the next ACORN.

Aarontology: GAT_00: Plus there was the Politico article yesterday that said Republicans are abandoning Fox News because more than 70% of viewers think Fox has gone to the left recently.

Oh, that's hilarious.

Something about evil eating its own....

I always tune to Fox Business News for up-to-the-minute business information! I need to know who caused 9/11 in order to manage my portfolio.

Who is this retarded shiat for?

Jake Havechek: To: SeekAndFind
The opinion that Osama and Saddam would never play together was totally DUMB.

Saddam was the producer of WMD and Osama would be the delivery boy was the reality.

Bush did the absolute right thing.

And if Bubba had done the right thing after the '93 hit on the NYC Tower, maybe 9-11 would have never happened.

No wonder they fired judge Napolitano, They were just gearing up to bring in the real talent!

Chart of the Day: Republicans Don't Trust Anyone (Except Fox News) (new window)

That's a good example of how pliable minds can be conditioned. Sad, but good.

All the pu**ified dems want to do is educate, feed, and give money away to the poor. Don't you know ALL poor people deserve what they have and need to just be grateful for what they have like Jesus would be. We need to cut all these government handout programs and put all the money into the military to stop all Muslims. If we don't do this then we will all die at the hand of akbar bin shimmy shammy and his evil anti-jesus folowers. Debt is theI price we have to pay in order to secure America's future in a world where we sell guns to other countries to fight wars for us to help us eventually get out of debt.

For the sake of humanity, I hope that that isn't true because that is just damned insane. Or possibly, for the sake of humanity, I hope that it is true, because then those viewers will have no choice but to be persuaded by the damn dirty liberal media.

I don't know what to think!!! Fox news, please tell me what to think about this!!!!

A local guy here in Philly on the conservative radio station (Michael Smerconish) was talking about this yesterday afternoon. He said that is part of the reason they dumped Glenn Beck... to take a step away from the uber-crazy and then said exactly the same thing about some of the general FOX audience jumping ship because of their 'move to the left'.

Keep in mind, you've got to be in the righty-right wilderness to detect that 'move to the left', but apparently it has, or is, happening.

Just because you had friends who died in 9-11, doesn't make anything you say about 9-11 automatically correct and unchallengable.

Seriously, go fark yourself you twerp.

Saddam had to go either way. Don't conflate bad PR decisions with taking him out before the sanctions allowed him to resume WMD research, rebuilding his military, attacking the Kurds and invading his neighbors. While we're at it, it's been long enough since the 2000 "Election" that the left should be able to stop thinking "anything W is always evil". Can we grow up and get past that yet? i know it sucked to have the Supreme Court coronate him, but let's move on.

Obama caused 9/11 by invading Iraq and using drones in Kenya, where he was born

Mutherfarker, please. What you won't do is re-write history to suggest that "heeey, Saddam WAS a threat, but Bush just lied to have him taken out." We are a part of the United Nations for a reason. The sanctions were, per the inspectors, apparently successful in stopping Saddam's regime from creating nukes. Oh, and after spending many Billions of dollars and many thousands of lives, we were assured that Saddam had no WMDs. The war in Iraq was drummed up by neo-cons to maintain an excuse for our outrageous military budget. It had shiat to do with our safety.

You are correct. I don't know if that makes it much better though. Affiliate does have a relationship with the parent organization. I suppose that can be debated.

"I lost a lot of friends in 9/11..."

Oh, yeah? Name them, you lying, phony ass-clown. And even if that were true, it doesn't make Iraq any more culpable. Classic example of Fox's journalistic integrity, right there.

What is worse is that by italicizing "move on" in his post, he is not so subtely equating in scale and severity the Clinton Blow Job with the Iraq war. "We were told to "move on" from Clinton's travesties... time for you libby-libs to move on from Bush's".

Besides, 9/11 was an inside job.

/lulz

*Looks at calender*

No, it isn't 2003 anymore.

I blame a US Federal Grand Jury for creating this rumor.

bkisfancy: We need to create a Fox News drinking game.

Hey, I've done enough damage to my liver without external help. That's just a recipe for alcohol poisoning.

Gergesa: Well just for fun let's also say that in addition to causing 9/11 Saddam also causes cervical cancer from beyond the grave. One is just as plausible as the other.

Don't you see? That shiat don't matter. You're judging this shiat the wrong way. I mean, it could be that he stopped the bullets, or he changed Coke to Pepsi, he found my farking car keys. You don't judge shiat like this based on merit.

soy_bomb: I blame a US Federal Grand Jury for creating this rumor.

Did they indict a ham sandwich while they were at it?

Philip Francis Queeg: How many other countries must we invade to prevent them from possibly doing bad stuff in the future?

ALL OF THEM!

JerseyTim: His inference that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11 is laughable.

His defense of that opinion by invoking the loss of lives of friends on that day is despicable.

What a disgusting man.

It's almost like a mass form of PTSD.

bulldg4life: Hell, Obama is already to blame for bailouts and TARP that occurred in late-2008. It's probably just easier to assume the Bush Presidency never happened.

So true, Obama didn't even vote for or even support TARP when he was in the Senate in 2008.

Philip Francis Queeg: Did they indict a ham sandwich while they were at it?

That wouldn't have been kosher.

Actually, it could be argued that Saddam caused 9/11, although certainly not directly. Bin Laden and his boys were buthurt because (among other things) infidels were in the Holy Land, Saudi Arabia. The only reason they were there is because they were invited by Saddam to participate in the Persian Gulf Invitational Weapons Fair and Live-Fire Exercise® in 1990-91.

Had Hussein not invaded Kuwait, US Troops would have never been based in Saudi Arabia, and it is likely the WTC would still be standing, and Saddam and his boys would be still be happily sodomizing 12 year old girls in front of their parents.

THIS IS WHAT REPUBLICANS ACTUALLY BELIEVE!


/notice I used the word "republican," not "conservative," on purpose. You may call yourselves independent or conservative, but you are neither.

Ha, she destroyed that idiot. And there needs to be a Godwin equivalent to the "I knew people who died on 9/11" comment be used to support your argument. Or should we just call it Bolling's Law?

You have a flawed assumption in here. Can you identify it?

I don't get it. How did Saddam Hussein plant thermite explosives for the controlled implosion of the World Trade Center, and how did he manage to paint a missile to look like a crude imitation of a American Airlines jet?

/runs away

That's true. I remember it. Iraq attacked Disney World Florida with Weapons of Mass Destruction. That's why it's not there anymore. Now, people from the East Coast have to go all the way to California to see Mickey Mouse.

Wow, Bolling is a world class shiat head. He's spouting a ridiculous, delusional, long disproven lie and defending it with the "shut up, I lost friends in 9/11" non-argument. Get farked, Bolling.

The problem is that some decent people now believe this because FOX "news" went out of their way to convince as many people as possible that it was true.

Lot's of naive people still think a channel with "news" in it's name would try to be accurate. We call those people fools.

Bolling: Could we then assume that Obama is treasonous?
Powers: I don't resort to name calling.

Here's the thing. Calling someone out for treason isn't just "name calling." It's a serious accusation. At what point can these right wing liars be sued for slander? Between calling Obama a muslim sympathizer, calling him a foreign born usurper, and directly accusing him of purposely tanking the American economy, when can Obama start slander civil litigation against the Bolling's, Beck's, Hannity's, and Limbaugh's of the world?

wantedbadass: Between calling Obama a muslim sympathizer, calling him a foreign born usurper, and directly accusing him of purposely tanking the American economy, when can Obama start slander civil litigation against the Bolling's, Beck's, Hannity's, and Limbaugh's of the world?

There's an unspoken rule of defamation that the more famous you are, the less likely you are to succeed in a defamation suit because of the First Amendment. A famous case called New York Times Co. v. Sullivan stands for the rule that if you are a "public figure," you have to prove not only that someone said something factually untrue and derogatory about you, but also that that person specifically knew (or was reckless) that what he was saying was untrue when he said it. The practical consequence is that if the court considers you to be a public figure, you're not going to win.

There have been cases about how famous or public you have to be to be a public figure, and whether you're a public figure for a particular topic or a public figure generally. If you're the alleged victim of a rape and your name has appeared only in a small town paper, and someone publishes a blog saying (falsely) that you are a prostitute and have AIDS, you're probably not a "public figure."

On the other hand, if you're the President of the United States, you're essentially "libel proof," because permitting the President of the United States to file defamation suits would chill the exercise of free speech in an arena where free speech is most important.

YouAreItNoTagBacks: Aside from the idiocy of linking Sadaam to 9/11, the thing that really pisses me off/makes me want to smack Bolling upside the head is the "I had friend who died so I am the ultimate authority and you are being insensitive by stating facts."

It's like the "I had a view of Logan Airport" defense.

They're too busy crying about Obama's "extrajudicial 'murders'" to be counted. Try again later.

Why is being a Muslim Sympathizer a bad thing to begin with (I do see your point as they try to use it as a pejorative when it shouldn't be)? That's like saying I'm a Christian, Jewish or Buddhist sympathizer.

I really hate how there are people like him out there.

We were in danger of losing the freedom to justify a war with Iraq for no valid reason. Thank God the Bush the Mighty saw this freedom being threatened and moved to invade Iraq before we lost it. He even sacrificed his status as a "Uniter" for us...

Besides that, no freedoms were threatened.

While I do think it had more to do with Bush's honest belief that Saddam = evil and he was a superhero, this is the third or so thread where we've actually agreed.

Am I the only one thinking this is awesome? :p

Hey, if 50 million Repub voters really want to be fed BS so they feel good about mooing their way to the Republican primaries, then News Corp will be there to deliver.

WHO TOLD YO^^^^^^NO CARRIER

thomps: Sgt Otter: thomps: did he say that mahmoud ahmadinejad was directly responsible for 9/11? the mahmoud ahmadinejad that didn't become president of iran until 2005?

That Iranian Shias were working with Baath Party Sunnis?

the iran/iraq war of the 80s was just a smoke-screen to take our eyes off of the terrorist threat. you don't have to have had friends die in 9/11 to realize that. but apparently it helps.

As someone who's spent a lot of time recently studying the Iranian Revolution and the Iran/Iraq War, someone should farking push Bolling down a flight of stairs. You don't let farking coonts lie in public like that.

This is dumb - everyone knows IRAN was behind 9/11. In fact, they are stockpiling WMD as we speak. After all, the absence of evidence doesn't mean an absence of evidence.

If we don't attack IRAN now, our smoking gun will be a mushroom cloud above Manhattan. Or somewhere.

PsiChick: Am I the only one thinking this is awesome? :p

Yes.
