      Right, because nothing says love of country more than threatening secession.

      Faux has spent the last 3 months calling our president a Communist, a Stalinist, a Marxist, a Bolshevik, and claiming he hates American.  Yeah, that's such "pro-American" talk.  Congrats.

      Fox News give platforms for O'Reilly, Beck and Hannity nightly and have guests who call the POTUS a fascist or Marxist or whatever they want but who cares because the viewers eat it up.  The viewers eat up Garafalo's comments as well so Fox indulges them.  If Coulter said of RNC protesters, "they were Saddam loving, Osama hugging commies" and she would be back on every show on Fox to say the same things.

      I was actually naive enough to think they might stop this rhetoric once they were out of power. I deserve to beaten with sticks.

        Well, Bud, just remember the hate and the lies that they relentlessly spewed during Clinton's ENTIRE tenure of office.

        Did you think they'd gotten any therapy since?

       Fox is the last person to talk about responsible journalism because they urinate on it's name every night they come on air. The only exceptions can be Geraldo, Colmes, and sometimes Grett. Also how are you going to have a show called America's Newsroom which turns it's back on reporting facts, non partisanship, and journalistic integrity?

      I feel for some of my friends because quiet a few of the poorer colleges don't have MSNBC or CNN just fox....and that has to be hell in a handbasket unless you have a computer.

      Well fox and it's tea party promotion act like an individual who has taken one too many balls to the face. Amnesia of the tax rate history, about Bush's wasteful spending, of what Joe McCarthy actually did,etc  and I can go on and on. Inability to absorb facts and Paranoia caused by confusion. It's funny how like Worrier said you can call someone Anti-America and threaten succession.  They actually have thought this out and have a plan ready to act.

       On a lighter note in the spirit of the Tea parties I would like to organize a protest against funding the building of ships with warp drives in 2063 when we have first contact with extra terrestrial. Now it looks like we may not be able to afford it.

      The hate America comments are the usual partisan bs from the right. I have to say though that Garafalo's comments are the usual far left bs. She's earned  the poster girl far left extremist label. Jeneane, try filtering and maybe have a practice interview with friend  next time.
