Who cares who is patriotic? What an idiotic topic.
Circus time!
They're threatening to send Jerry to have it out with Rob?
I have got to send Robert Greenwald some CASH. This man is fighting our war on so many fronts. Bless him!
FOX reminds me of the Know-nothings of the 19th century, beating up Irish immigrants and spreading propaganda in the press about how they were dirty, ignorant, wife-beating, pope-loving, anti-American drunks.
Ever seen Gangs of New York? Yeah, those people.
m malkin needs a fist bump
you know where, but then we
don't want to give her any more
pleasure......now do we?
we all know malkin keeps bumping
her head under the table when
she goes to dinner.
Great vid, but he forgot the best part of Cal's quote on why Black Women are so Angry on TV: "Their kids just got shot, and died in their arms..."
Because no white woman would ever be mad if her child was shot dead on their lawn, and breathed his/her last breath in her arms.
When Obama is president hopefully this fake news network will go off the air.
Why is Robert Greenwald (or C&L for that matter) bothering to defend Michell Obama? Surely her husband can get all the help they need from AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, or any of their other "new" corporate buddies.
FOX News might be despicable, but they've never really pretended to be anything but a right-wing tool. Obama promises hope and change while selling $30,000 handshakes and handing out immunity deals to the most powerful applicants. Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of their ilk are the worst traitors to their country. F#$% 'em all.
For stuff like that and other things Fox does, every Democrat should refuse to go on Fox television, but they don't even have enough backbone to challenge the Bush Administration when they have a majority in Congress.
The truly sad thing is that a not insignificant number of Americans are gullible enough to believe this kind of obvious nonsence.
And never a word about Cindy McCrackhead. Grossly unfair.
Superb collage and I finally get to see all those second line Fawkes Shi Tzus who get their drivel parsed. My god they are awful.
This is the great divide disconnect. These wrecks are trotting out the same high school stuff that sort of worked when America was fatter and happier but now their most amazingly shrill efforts are falling flat like some canary fart in the sawmill of foreclosure, credit implosion, runaway food, fuel and health costs and other matters far more pressing than sophomoric anger speculation and fist bump anxiety.
They are just looking more crazed with each spin of the news cycle.

They have never pretended? Where have you been?

We can only hope! Faux News is absolutely shameless and will stoop to new depths to scare their viewers. What's next? Hannity in blackface?...Uh oh, I just gave them another idea.
Obama/Olbermann '08
And the "100 years" comment was distorted and taken out of context by liberals?
The Last Word @ 11:
These are the "no child left behind" grads.
"When Obama is president hopefully this fake news network will go off the air."
Unfortunately, FOX will attack him daily. It will make the assault on Bill Clinton, Lewinsky, Whitewater and all, seem nice.
Eventually, they will call for his impeachment.
McMurtry @ 12 HEY! That is a really terrible thing to say about Cindy. Get it right. It's Cindy McVicodan.; )
Ron @ 14:
Around and aware, Ron. Lately, I've been in that dark corner of my mind contemplating the latest corporate whore to betray the left, the Constitution, and the country.
Actually, I wish we could give morons like Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Rally and Savage total prime time coverage on all major networks about a week before the election.
They are so stupid and clueless, they would be strutting like an unsuspecting peacock into the jaws of a lion. Cheering Bush, defending the indefensible, and telling the American people to "suck it up" and be a success like Bush.
It would be the end of them.
RUSSELL @ 17:
that's because abstinence worked...............lol
By my count this administration, and the Supreme Court Judges that picked it have broken the following Amendments
1: Freedom of speech - see P.A.T.R.I.O.T act
4: Unwarranted Searches and Seizures: See F.I.S.A. and related matters
5: Eminent Domain: Kelo v. New London
6: Speedy Public Trial: Try sitting in Gitmo for a couple of years with no charges
8: Cruel and Unusual Punishment: Again try sitting in Gitmo
Wow Bush really wasn't kidding when he said: "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
The Constitution will recover from this clumsy furtive blob of legislative crap. Lincoln crumpled it horribly when we were slaughtering each other over 'state's rights'.
Then it took hits in the paranoid early years of the 1900s over red scares and anarchists. World War Two was a little rough on it, the cold war was worse and Nixon, Reagan and Bush the Elder all took their kicks at it. The amazing thing about the continuity of the nation is how it keeps bouncing back when the looters de jour fade from the scene.
Focks is a stellar Neo-Know Nothing contraption and it is hilarious to see it's attempts to sell fake fear while the broader forces of the moment reduce its impact to a strange squeaky tininess.
It is bleeding viewer ship and many of its most avid fans are in foreclosure and had to sell the flat screens they watched it on.
"black women are always angry about something..."
what the hell?!?? white women can be always angry too! hmmph...i'm always angry at the neocon, rethug nutbars...
da noive.
On January 20, 2009, Fox will change its name to the Cheney Channel.
A wild animal is most dangerous when in fear for its life.
Realizing that all the usurped powers and now legal power to spy on Americans will soon be Barak's, I expect nothing but the worst from the republiscum party in the months to come.
ysbaddaden @ 3:
I'm doing what ?
Though this is a novel idea, Fox will never stop this as it's what they are and they pander to the millions of americans who enjoy getting off on this kind of sick TV.
What's to be proud of? I'm still not proud. What's the matter with her?
You're not proud? Well I'm really bitter.
Gosh, looking at these nasty people on FOX, makes me remember why I don't watch television. Why do you think they call it "programming"? --MaryK
It should be called what it is, (BRAINWASHING.)
"Everytime I see a black woman on TV she's angry about something"
That pretty much sums up Michelle Malkin, the resident angry half-black woman on Fox News
Slimey rightwing bastards.
Payback will come to hit them right up their slimy Fox ass once Obama becomes US President in November 2008.
FAIRNESS DOCTRINE
They won't even know what hit them!
too funny!
aka KARMA will come!
McCain camp tries to link McCain to Colombian hostage release.
Obama’s running on his judgment, so it seems fair to point out that he hasn’t even left the country and he’s already causing a diplomatic row. Meanwhile, McCain goes to Colombia and a bunch of hostages are freed from a terrorist group in a daring raid. Read into that what you will.

President George Bush: 'Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter'
By Robert Winnett, Deputy Political Editor and Urmee Khan
Last updated: 7:52 AM BST 10/07/2008
George Bush surprised world leaders with a joke about his poor record on the environment as he left the G8 summit in Japan.
The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."
He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.
Mr Bush, whose second and final term as President ends at the end of the year, then left the meeting at the Windsor Hotel in Hokkaido where the leaders of the world's richest nations had been discussing new targets to cut carbon emissions.
One official who witnessed the extraordinary scene said afterwards: "Everyone was very surprised that he was making a joke about America's record on pollution."
Mr Bush also faced criticism at the summit after Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister, was described in the White House press pack given to journalists as one of the "most controversial leaders in the history of a country known for government corruption and vice".
The White House apologised for what it called "sloppy work" and said an official had simply lifted the characterisation from the internet without reading it.
Concluding the three-day event, leaders from the G8 and developing countries proclaimed a "shared vision" on climate change. However, they failed to bridge differences between rich and emerging nations on curbing emissions.
OMFG!!! They're all TARA-ists!!!! We're not safe unless they're knitting tea-cozies! (help with the spelling here?)
bunch of pusses
You know who I hate more than Hannity though?
No one.
Can someone give me an idea of why i just saw an ad for O'Reilly's show smack dab in the middle of Countdown?
When's Sean coming out?
If she can't take the heat, she should stay in the kitchen.
I mean...are you kidding me?
If Fox News didn't attack Michelle THAT would be news. It's their job.
There is no one who despises Faux News Network more than I do. I blocked that station the day I plugged in my television because I didn't want anyone (especially my brother-in-law) to be able to access that station on my tv. Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter and all the rest of the Faux New Network ignorant bimbos are a disgusting lot and to Hell with all of them.
On the other hand, Michelle Obama does come off as a woman who is both angry and tactless. I have tried desperately to find something about both Barack and Michelle that I can like, defend and vote for and I am coming up empty. Barack is turning off a lot of progressives with his sharp turn to the right.
who would you rather bang?
michelle obama or any of those hags on fox?
fox hates her cuz she will become only the second milf in the white house
the first being jackie
Uncle Joe Mccarthy @ 47:
Dolly?
Now the attack is on Mrs. Obama. We see many African American woman serving in the US Military and other positions of serving the United States. I guess their angry Americans who don't love the country. I went to a funeral of a young female soldier and didn't here the hate talk. We just never seem to learn. The Civil War divided this country and it took Americans to join together to keep this country strong. African Americans have contributed alot to our country and even given their lives. Yet some still seem to think of African Americans as refugees as what blacks were called during the Katrina Storm. Yet Spike Lee said it best as Oprah, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and other wealthy African Americans would be treated with respect as an American. If our country doesn't pull together and stop the hate we all lose.
Michelle Obama seems like a good woman.She`s right that America is a mean country.Look at the most abused people-women,children,aged,those who are most vulnerable.These are the people the Bush crime cabal has targeted to eliminate their votes,even their lives.America is the most dangerous place on earth for children.Abuse,neglect,abandonment,enmeshment,toxic shame(FOX and the MSM helped to write the book on toxic shame and blame.Scapegoating,smearing,repeating over and over by magnifying fault and assigning blame;all these and more mount up to make America number one in soul murder and spiritual abuse.
You think that the network crap doesn`t trickle down.The money doesn`t,but the crap does.And it effects most families.Televangelical shit is the worst; no it`s tied for worst with lying politicians,smooth talking lawyers,most bankers,and almost all insurance personnel.I`m tired of writing anout this shit.Oh! I forgot the World Bank.May they burn in hell.
This dame ugly ass, nasty bastard needs his ass kicked. There is no question about what O'Riley, Shaun and Rush need and I hope they keep this kind of shit going, because the day is fast approching, that they are going to get exactly what they all ask for. No question about it.
And I hope they read this and have the nerve to complain.
I rarely comment here on C&L because my thoughts on most topics are usually stated much more eloquently in the comments before I even read down to the end of them. But I'm disturbed to see that you guys are giving a pass to #20 (Fiver), and 46 (Bluesage).
Fiver, upset as we all are about the FISA debacle, compares Obama unfavorably to the most heinous cabal of broadcasters in our history, and Bluesage hasn't figured out that Michelle Obama is not running for president. I find it hard to believe that it's left to me to call these guys out. Is it that their trollery was just too subtle for me? If that's the case, I apologize for not joining the rest of you in ignoring them.
Fox has to go.
The news media has report on every gaffe or any questionable conduct by Barack Obama and his surrogates as far back as the democratic primary. They are reported on for weeks, when Hillary Clinton and now John McCain are being giving a pass. It is beginning to look like it is becoming racially motivated by this type of reporting. Please report on this injustice. I added a report from the Huffington Post to back up my claim.
This article is from the Huffington Post.
During this past week: McCain called the most important entitlement program in the U.S. a disgrace, his top economic adviser called the American people whiners, McCain released an economic plan that no one thought was serious, he flip flopped on Iraq, joked about the deaths of Iranian citizens, and denied making comments that he clearly made -- TWICE. All this and it is not even Friday! Yet watching and reading the mainstream press you would think McCain was having a pretty decent political week, I mean at least Jesse Jackson didn't say anything about him.
But let's unpack McCain's week in a little more detail.
1. McCain unambiguously called Social Security "an absolute disgrace." This is not a quote taken out of context. John McCain called one of the most successful and popular government programs, which uses the tax revenues of current workers to support retirement benefits for the elderly "an absolute disgrace." This is shocking - and if uttered from Obama's mouth would dominate the news coverage and the Sunday shows, as pundits would speculate about the massive damage the statement would cause him among retirees in Florida.
2. McCain's top economic policy adviser calls Americans a bunch of "whiners" for being worried about the slumping economy. Words cannot fully explain how devastating this statement should be from Phil Gramm. You would think it would be enough to sink McCain's campaign. Of course McCain only thinks that the economic problems are psychological.
3. Iraqi leaders call for a timetable for U.S. withdrawal, McCain gets caught in a bizarre denial and flip flop. The Iraqis now want us to begin planning our withdrawal - McCain however wants to stay foooorrreeevvveerrrr. So what does McCain say - First, he refuses to accept Maliki's statement as being true. Then he concedes that it was an accurate statement, but was probably just a political ploy to curry favor with his own people and WOULD NOT influence his determination to keep US troops in Iraq indefinitely. Yet, McCain in 2004 at the Council on Foreign Relations said that if the Iraqis asked us to leave, we would have to go. No matter what. But that was apparently a younger and less experienced John McCain.
But let's just look at his comment that Maliki's statement is "just politics." If that is true, then it must also be true that the American military presence in Iraq is so unpopular with Iraqis that the government is forced to push for a timetable in order to survive at the ballot box. That's a reason to stay for 100 years.
4. McCain's economic plan to cut the deficit has no details and is simply not believable. There are so many things here. McCain pledges he would eliminate the deficit by the end of his
first term (the campaign latter flip flop flipped about whether it was four years or eight years), but does not provide any details about how he would do it. Economists on both sides of the political aisle said that this was simply not believable, especially given McCain's other proposals to a) cut individual and corporate taxes even further, b) extend the Bush tax cuts and c) massively increase defense spending on manpower (200,000 more troops) and d) maintain a long-term sizable military presence in Iraq.
5. McCain's deficit plan includes bringing the troops home represents a major Iraq flip-flop. Speaking of the long-term military presence - a story that has gotten absolutely no attention is that McCain now believes the war will be over soon. The economic forecasts made by his crack team of economists predict that there will be significant savings during McCain's first term because we will have achieved "victory" in Iraq and Afghanistan. The savings from victory (ie the savings from not having our troops there) will then be used to pay down the deficit. The only way this could have any impact on the deficit in McCain's first time is if troop withdrawals start very soon. So McCain believes victory is in our grasps and we can begin withdraw troops from Iraq pretty much right away -- doesn't sound that different from Obama's plan does it. Someone should at least ask McCain HOW HE DEFINES VICTORY - and why he thinks we will achieve it in the next couple of years.
6. McCain campaign misled about economists support. In the major press release the McCain campaign issued to tout its Jobs for America economic plan that would balance the budget in 4 years, it included the signatures of more than 300 economists who the campaign claimed to support the plan. Only problem is that the economists were actually asked to sign up to SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Um, hello?
7. McCain makes a joke about killing Iranians. Haha... that's just McCain being McCain. I am sure that is exactly how it is being reported in Tehran. This guy is running for President not to become a talk radio pundit. Yet according to the AP this was just a humanizing moment between candidate and spouse - I am not sure when joking about the deaths of civilians became humanizing.
8. McCain denies, flatly, that he ever said that he is not an expert in economics. Are you kidding?
9). McCain distorts his record on veterans benefits in response to a question from Vietnam Veteran, who then proceeds to call McCain out on it.
10.) McCain demonstrates he knows nothing about Afghanistan and Pakistan. McCain said "I think if there is some good news, I think that there is a glimmer of improving relationship between Karzai and the Pakistanis." Pat Barry notes how crazy this comment is..."Just what "glimmer" is McCain talking about?? Maybe he's referring to President Karzai's remarks last month, which threatened military action in Pakistan if cross-border attacks persisted? Or maybe McCain is talking about Afghanistan's allegations that Pakistan's ISI was involved in a recent assassination attempt on Karzai? Maybe in McCain's world you could call that a silver-lining, but in reality-land I'd call it something else."
Any one of these incidents and comments would dominate the news cycle if they came from the Obama campaign. Yet McCain barely gets a mention. The press like to see themselves as political referees - neutral observers that call them like they see em'. But they want this to be a horse race and so all the calls right now are going one way. How else can you explain the furor last week over the Obama "refine" comment - which represented zero change in Obama's position on Iraq - and the "swift boat" mania over Wesley Clark's uncontroversial comments (psss... by the way McCain exploits his POW experience in just about every ad - yet he says he doesn't like to talk about it).
This Sunday expect the ten incidents above to get short shrift from pundit after pundit, because after all Jesse Jackson said he wanted to cut Obama's nuts off.
Our political climate has been allowed to deteriorate to this abysmal state for one reason, and one reason only, the Democratic Party hasnt got the backbone of a garter snake.
The truth needs no bombast, it needs no talking heads lying and distorting, propagandising, but it needs defending. How many years now has the Democratic Party demonstrated complicity and cowardice in the face of such endless streams of garbage as this stuff.
The sad fact is that Pelosi and Reid are as responsible for the mess we are in as are Bush and Cheney, Limbaugh and Hannity. Wake up America, desert the party that has deserted us long ago, register third party or independent. Take a stand because the democrats certainly wont.
Terrorist fist bump"? Are you kidding? I've never heard that before in my life. If that's the case, 99.9% of my students must be terrorists!
Pathetic.
What was it the judge said in the OJ trial: "I am shocked at the level to which we have dropped."? (Is that right?)
Interesting that as they call Michelle mean they exude meaness in their delivery; each and every FOX idiot conveys the mantra of a nasty, mean-spirited Repub.
Why is it that she said these words yet fox is the one who is going after her? This must be a site put together by CNN or even better MSNBC.
FOX attacked Michelle Obama? Did they call her a husband-stealing, pill-popping, drug-addicted thief? Because we wouldn't want a woman like THAT as First Lady.
You got to remember Fox is a bunch of low life!!!A$$ HOLES
VMan - Oh you are so right! I must be a complete moron because I haven't figured out that Michelle Obama is not the one running for president. Good God Man, is that all you've got?
I don't know who the hell you are but just about anyone on this site can tell you that I've been around a long time and I'm no troll. That argument is used mainly by those who are unknown around here.
Here at C & L everyone is entitled to an opinion and you can disagree all you like but the troll name calling is frowned upon. But thanks for dropping in.
'Faux News' is not to be taken seriously. It is entertainment for the less enlightened. If you are mean spirited, bitter, angry, racist and lacking in all the things that make human beings worthwhile, then 'Faux News' is for you.

I wouldn't mind boinking some of the vacuuous blond babes on FAUX
As long as they come with a ball-gag.

That's one of the things that bug me about the Obamas. They look so Rob and Laura Petrie. And we all know Laura was probably deliberatly patterned after Jackie.
The anchor baby killed all my sperm with her giant bugged out eyes.
steve mcmurtry @ 12:
No, of course not. Cindy is fine because is was "prescription drugs" and she "talks about it openly" so that's something to be proud of, apparently.
Yeah, I'm pissed off at Obama right now for his shift to the "center" but that shit on fox news is fucking infuriating. It's so frustrating to watch these assholes (not that I do). There otta be a law...

K K K is alive and well on FOX. Hey Bill I heard you can buy your sheets at Kmart with the holes already cut out. What a maroon LOL

looks, walks, quacks.... Troll? OK, maybe not, but then what are you saying, Nader?
that must have struck a nerve with someone, it got pulled..
now it's back.. strange.
great vid, shows the bastards for what they are.
I think this is outrageous and Fox News has been unfairly attacking Obama...We need to force Fox to change their bias reporting. I have a campaign that demands the immediate stopping of these attacks: https://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/taking-on-foxs-racist-attacks-on-mich...
