      When you watch Faux, you only hear reich-wing propaganda.

        What short memories these dunces and duncettes have. Remember when they were chastized by one of the main "news" anchors:

      FOX's underlying premise is that the filthy, lying, scumbag, Marxist, Socialist, Muslim-loving, no-birth-certificate, Barack Obama is deserving of perpetual, non-stop, 24/7 criticism for his very living, breathing existence.

        I really don't see the need for hyperbole here, Irony. If there's one thing this nation needs, it's accurate and factual journalism, and I don't think you're giving a very good representation of the average citizen when you exaggerate like that.

        The fact is that Fox's underlying premise is that the news media should be an advocate of the people and an unbiased source of factual information and enlightening commentary about the filthy, lying, scumbag, Marxist, Socialist, Muslim-loving, no-birth-certificate, Barack Obama...

          No respectable person in or out of the news media has ever called Fox News accurate and factual journalism. The network is designed to spew opinions 24/7 and tell people what their opinions should be. This means omitting and misrepresenting facts that people should have to come to their own conclusions. Fox has gone way beyond the concept of reporting the news.

        In a way you really described how the right "debates". First they create an opinion that fits their view, then they present anything they can find no matter how small as proof that their opinion is actually a fact. Next comes denying any actual proof no matter how damning. Step four of their faux step program is to lather, rinse and repeat.

            Yes, that is exactly what MMFA does. They do that by simply showing incorrect, misleading, or outrageous statements by conservatives in their full context, and backing up their work with facts, data, and research.

            THANK YOU.

      FoxNews Channel continues to act like sore loosers with their bitter comments 24/7 about President Obama and the Democrats. And, their ratings must be really sliding because Neil Cavuto was whining yesterday about how Pres. Obama will "NOT" come on Cavuto's Show at FNC. Too funny.

      Maybe President Obama and the Democrats are being 'fair & balanced' with FoxNews Channel. Oh wait, that's right FoxNews Channel hates President Obama and the Democrats. Too funny indeed.

      They are just speechless for Pres Obama is actually a very good president for these times.And mrs Obama just blows them away. they don't have anything to counter this good fortune. Everything they worked so hard for in eight years just got blown away, with spades.

        I'm willing to withhold judgement, wolfie, by assuming that your last sentence was an unfortunate oversight on your part.

        By the way, the correct cliche is "...IN spades"

        No need to feed the trolls.

          One thing about feeding the trolls is that you get to find out who they are. The trolls I am used to ( science101, james, Missdee, and others whon i forget have disappeared and we have new ones everyday ). My last sentence was a reference to the FOX propaganda machine stepping up the rhetoric to get McCain-Palin elected and keep the neocons in policy making positions, followed by the incessant chatter attacking the character of our president.

              Your ego is running away with you if you believe that. In order for MMfA to have any desire to ban those with contrary opinions, they would have to be convinced that the contrarians were actually making valid and compelling points. There has been no evidence of that.

              In fact, the preferable situation for MMfAs opposition would be the eradication of the comments from those such as yourself.

          Don't you worry neon, the trolls you're talking about are no longer allowed to post on this website! Silencing the opposition is far easier than honost debate. Obama and ABC have shown us that! (and MMFA)

      Apparently Doocy isn't aware of Olbermann attacking Obama over the lack of prosecution of those carried out illegal torture policies, his failure so far to do anything about DADT, the failure to do prosecute over illegal domestic wiretapping, the failure of the Obama White House so far to release certain visitor logs, and a whole host of other things. Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, David Shuster, and others have also criticized Obama. There have been many conservative guests on both CNN and MSNBC who have criticized Barack Obama. CNN has plenty of conservative commentators and guests who criticize Obama. This Doocy doofus is delusional. Kind like the alliteration there. Delusional Doocy.

      THAMK YOU.
