      Hey, FOX? The answer to your question is 'No'. Now, how about an answer for me on this question: Is Rush Limbaugh using Betsy McCaughey's falsehoods to further confuse and mislead his audience?

      Freeper News Channel disses Ted Kennedy. VERY Childish behavior perpetrated by the GOP praising his death.

      Kennedy motorcade? Don't let it pass the grassy knoll. Kidding. But isn't that a strange use of phrase?

        I know! I was passing the news monitor in the lobby of my building earlier and I heard the announcer say "The Kennedy Motorcade is now passing...." I turned to look at the screen and thought "Of course, they are talking about Ted Kennedy". It was still a strange moment though.

        I've always heard it called a "procession" when it is for a deceased individual.

      Is there even a shred of evidence that they are doing anything of the sort?

      So, I'm not quite clear what the Fox morons are suggesting.
      Are they saying that the Democrats found themselves in a bind and went to Teddy's bedside with a pillow? Oops, did I give away Monday's right wing lie?

      What a bunch of idiots.

      Get all the Right-wing protesters free bus passes to be in the motorcade and tell them they have a 'special event' after the service. But they don't get police escort. Boston to Cape Cod in August? It might be Halloween before we hear from them again.

      Evil laughter.

        Of course the Dems won't be using Kennedy's death to stifle the town hall screech monkeys. Not necessary, they'll just use Obama's jackbooted "Oligarhy" civilian militia thugocracy to stifle them.

        Doesn't Fox Nooz watch Foz Nooz?

          I guess if your against an Obama policy you're a "town hall screech monkey".

          If you are for an Obama policy your a "community organization" on behalf of the people of course..

          Just curious-what do you think of the people President Obama surround himself with? Remember were are to judge him by the people her surrounds himself with-his words...

            Take the bumper sticker off your forehead, turn off Fox, head out of the basement into the fresh air and tell me what situations in life you find it proper to scream and berate people as a way to show you're a serious person who knows what they are talking about.

            Just curious, wouldn't you rather have some input on something that's going to happen anyway or do you want to be dismissed as a screech monkey? You guys chose the tactic, now you want to be defensive when your imbecillic behavior is revealed?

              Well "tw" I don't know where & why the personal attacks came from considering you don't even know me, but if you noticed the posting time for me it is late because I've been at work & I actually hve a job where I use my employer's time & money to waist by playing. (I wish I had a basement!)

              I would love to have some input to the heathcare issue unfortunately liberal politicians & media aren't interested in hearing any other view point. Just look at ABc & CBS decision NOT to run an ad opposing gov't healthacre.

              You want to fix the healthcare, get rid of gov't restrictions & make it consumer driven. Tort reform is another issue that would drop the price of healthcare. When people start seeing it as a responsibility on their part rather than someone elses problem maybe then it wouldn't be such a mess.

            That seems sort of unfair, I wouldn't generalize that harshly.I'm at odds with some of Obama's policies,and I wouldn't lump myself in with those people.

            I was only referring to the subhuman types who go to town halls and screech.

              Most of the people going to town hall meetings who opposed Obama's health care reform are normal people. Of course with any large group setting with publicity you will get the weirdo's, but that is with anything and when it comes to politics it's on both sides. My point was why is it wrong for people who oppose gov't run heathcare to be mocked when all they are standing up for what they believe, yet on ther other side they are "dedicated do-gooders"?
