        The MSM is, of course, liberally biased...as are truth, common sense and facts. ;>)

          Despite its protestations to the contrary, Fox is considered part of the MSM. That's debatable since they are really just an entertainment network.

            They definitely HAVE to be part of the so called MSM, because, as we're told over and over again by some of our more ardent Fox supporters, they're ratings are so much better than MSNBC, CNN, and other news channels.

            Same thing for right wing talk radio. When you do have so many people listening to your tripe, you're in the MSM.

      I'm sure glad that insurance companies don't hire actuaries or make any decisions based on cost benefit analysis. I hear that Obama actually has a Death Czar who will oversee the Death Panels and read the Death Book to schoolchildren. Apparently ACORN will be tasked to euthanize Republican veterans who refuse to join the SEIU. Maybe Fox can get on this story too.

        US health care is heavily rationed both by insurance companies denying claims and cancelling policies, as well as by hospital transplant committees which can deny a transplant for any reason, including "social worth".

      Once again, that's the whole point of Fox News' continuing coverage of this smear and lie: to retroactively make Palin look as if she was right. Because they are going to push her as a political candidate, and they need to make sure that this "death panel" fiasco is remembered not for what it was, a blatant lie and embarrassing gaffe, but for what they want it to be, a bold "truth" in the face of the establishment.

        Didn't Steve Doocy and the rest of FoxNews Channel's Hosts i.e. Sean Hannity stand behind former Gov. Sarah Palin's claim of seeing Russia from her house as true facts? LOL

      Karen Hanretty, Republican Strategist...Another reason the Dems will keep winning.

      Hannity is a Deather and not too bright. I actually was driving the PA Turnpike today and forced myself to listen to the radio show. My usual dosage of this Insannity is 5-10 minutes but today I wanted to fair and give a long listen.
      Other than saying that if something happens in this country it will be Obamas' fault and he'll blame
      obama becuase of the CIA investigation, he had a rant of 20 minutes linking Obama to this one and that one, hinting that the President is not to bright and basically badmouthing Obamas' existence, this Purveyor of Paranoia made that statement that his rant wasn't about Obama but what he is doing to the country.
      Now I can really see how his listeners can be a dumb as they are. They actually believe this Pied Piper of the Dimwits. I can also see why this coward of a debater refuses to actually have a one on one with a Hartmann or anyone toher than a voice on the phone...Hannity is not important in an important world. He actually is trying to convince his audience that they are now the majority and sweeping changes will be made next year.
      Hey Sean, here is a hint...Health Care Reform will pass with everything the President wants.

        Have you not watched any TV? Do you not listen to the polls? Unless Obama gets his head back in the game he wont be able to pass gas much less pass a Health Care bill. He promised a lot of change yet so far I must say I am disappointed that there has been none. Have you received anything yet? Has your life gotten easier because I can tell you, mine has not. Gas prices are going up again and the "cash for clunkers" is all fine and dandy except I can't afford a new car (even with the $4500 discount)anymore now than I did before he was elected.

        Can somebody tell me if their life has gotten better? Is anybody making anymore money? Has anybody in foreclosure been able to save their home or been given a job that was created? Please tell me because I realy need to know.

          Well, since Obama got elected, my life has gotten better. I got a new job and got a 15k pay raise over my previous one, so that wasn't too bad.

          He did bring some change already. Stimulus bill was change. He signed anti torture legislation into law. He signed executive order saying he'd close Gitmo. He has sent more troops into Afghanistan to kill the actual terrorists.

          Gas prices are still nowhere near their high of over a year ago.

          If you couldn't afford a new car before he was elected, what made you think you'd be able to afford one once he took office?

          Maybe you should look around more. Also, lots of homeowners have bene able to re-finance their loans, get lower interest rates, and therefore have been able to save their homes.

          Have you not been paying attention?

      "...George W. Bush heard about this book, they got rid of it."

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the book just 'revised' under Bush? I'm not familiar with what revisions were made, but I think its at the very least misleading to say they the book was done away with.

      If granny wants to die with dignity, well, we've got anti-depressants for that kind of attitude, Johnny. This is candyland. Don't you know? With the right chemicals and electro-convulsive shocks you've always got a shot. And even if your brain dies we can keep you breathing with these newfangled machines, and we all know the holy ghost lives in the heart anyway.

      anybody who thinks sarah palin has EVER gotten anything "right" in her life must have some serious credibility issues. oh i forgot, we're talking about future presidential candidate sean hannity here who said this, the dark horse of 2012 himself. what an honor.

      by the way, please sean... make sarah palin your VP! that would be one hell of a dream team right there! not so much jordan and pippen-esque... maybe more like sarah the baracuda and one of her old teammates back in the day when she played HS basketball. that should be a great experience for hannity since high school was the real last educational field he was involved in until he decided to become a radio bum. poor chump.

      Palin, didn't get this right at all. And neither do you Sean. You're both complete and utter morons and idiots. You have proven this, time and again over the years you've been on radio and the TV.

      There are no death panels.
      There are no death books.
      There is no rationing in the UK.

        Only if you are a conservative, right-winged, Republican American would you believe these 'foul statements' that in America the Democrats would create a group of people (death panels), to read from books (death books), on how to choose which Americans "die" (rationing healthcare) as "great" Republican "truths" as their "opposition" to America's HealthCare Reform.

      Hannity says : "Most countries with socialized medicine, 70% of the people say we don't want it." What a liar. NOTHING could be farther from the truth. As an American living in Denmark with universal health care I thank God every day for my situation. How can the man just make up a number and sling it out like that. Outrageous.
      Oh, and the quotes on survivability of different forms of cancer? Might be true, but it light of the 70% figure I doubt it. Life expectancy in the US is a year less than the OECD average. These stats give a good picture: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/8092034/OECD-Health-Data-2009---How-Does-the-United-States-Compare
      Just out of curiosity as I'm not currently a resident of the US, did Fox News cover the Free Clinic that was recently conducted at the Forum in LA.

      WHAT I would do know is show the American people why we can't get anything done on the GOP side. They draw things out. They stay stuck on things of the ego and strongholds and not progress. They have delivered themselves into the hands of the DEMS.

      DEMS: Use the footage of this long argument and how everyone repeats everyone. All of these people are committing a fraud of there jobs. THey play politics they don't move and address issues politically. USE FOOTAGE OF THIS TOPIC AND HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND SHOW THAT THEY HAVE NOT PROGRESSED ON THE SUBJECT.

      Hannity should grow up. Everyone in the country should read the book and lay out a life plan this is no different than prepairing a will. Based on this interview these three stooges did'nt really read the thing.
