Hey, American TV channels. THIS is why people pirate your shiat instead of finding legit means of watching your great shows... because you BLOCK IT.

Morons.

Enjoy the lost advertising revenue, losers.

For real, the objective reality of the fact that Romney is deliberately misrepresenting the President's position, while at the same time STATING THE EXACT SAME THING THAT THE PRESIDENT STATED, does not matter and never will. You might as well take a shiat in the ocean.

Millions of people taking a shiat in the ocean is more destructive to some ecosystems than hydrogen bombs.

TimonC346: IrateShadow: TimonC346: Poorly phrased? I dunno, all you had to do is listen to it on its entirety to understand what was actually said and meant.

Yeah, but the general shiattiness of the GOP wasn't unknown here. His speechwriters should have seen that low blow coming and reworded appropriately.

Yeah, I get you. But I guess you can only be so careful. If Obama it gets out President Obama needed to take a bathroom break, it would be interpreted as laziness by right wing whargarbllllers.

gimmegimme: HotWingConspiracy: IrateShadow: The major problem I have with Obama's "You didn't built that" was that it was so poorly phrased. He has how many people on staff and none of them could see this becoming a GOP soundbite from 2 galaxies away?

I dunno, they had to edit the clip to get the talking point that they wanted. So unless Obama just stops speaking or starts audibly time stamping every word he says, there isn't a whole lot they can do to prep for this.

Jackson Herring: I'm sure "the liberal media" will be calling Romney out on this particular bald-faced lie any time now.

Not a chance.

I was amazed that Romney got out of the "I wasn't at Bain after 1999" even with the later years worth of SEC filings he signed, with "The President owes me an apology." "Negative attacks are beneath a " Marxist, Socialist, Failure, Muslin... "President." and then "He retired retroactively."

And then the "the liberal media" reports the Bain after 1999 story as "attacks from the Obama campaign." Well, the actual black-and-white on the SEC forms are the "attacks," but there was no mention of that.

"The liberal media" is so fricking afraid of the Faux News drumming they go along, to be "Fair and Balanced." It's a losing battle Charlie Brown. They will always take away the football.

Most certainly, if you were objective -the reality of the fact that Romney is deliberately misrepresenting the President's statement, while at the same time REITERATING THE SAME BELIEFS THAT OBAMA STATED, it doesn't matter and I don't think it ever will. You might as well keep farking those chickens.

I'd just take Romney's commercials past and present that contradict each other, air the contradicting parts back to back, and then finish it up with a clip from "A Face in the Crowd" with Andy Griffith laughing into the camera.

I have to admit, I really like this talking point.
www.ijreview.com

So they are basically saying that businesses are successful despite government, not because of government. OK, fine. End ALL government (tax-payer funded) subsidies immediately. ANY and ALL corporations or businesses that have received government (tax-payer funded) subsidies will be required to repay all that money since they didn't need the government's help.

It's even deeper than that. I think that news networks are using Fox as an excuse to move to the right. Who owns these news networks? Who advertises on them? If you guessed the richest 1% of all Americans, you're absolutely correct. It's so simple there isn't even a conspiracy needed. All you require is people looking out for their own (short term at least) best interests.

This is why PBS (and the BBC, and the CBC) is so incredibly important.

So they admit the economy is growing under Obama! Nice to know!

But not fast enough! Even though it was completely imploding when GWB left office and Obama has turned that around it is still not fast enough!

Romney's problem is that his staff couldn't see this after a week of hitting the other guy over the head for the same thing.

And as long as the ghost of Brietbart is still trolling around anything that Obama says will get taken out of context in the most negative and dishonest way possible anyway. If he's going to catch shiat for whatever he says, why pay someone to check it beforehand. Obama is just cutting government waste by not hiring someone for a useless position.

It isn't Comedy Central that blocks international viewers, it's the distributors of the show in your own country that won't let CC show it to you. It's part of the licensing agreement.
