      Sounds like Fox is using inflammatory rhetoric - as usual.

      The WH is out to "destroy" them? They're doing a good job all by themselves.

      Still hanging on that 'ol Fox motto:

      When the facts fail you, just make it up.

      I'm surprised Lamar Alexander is not urging Obama to refrain from breaking into the Watergate complex.

      And, BTW, aren't the Republicans trying to destroy ACORN?

        What about Fox poster boy Glenn Back who has said, clearly, he wants to take down this administration? Apparently, that's OK, but if the White House tries to battle his lies, and subsequently FoxNews' lies, then they're ripping apart the fabric of our nation!!

        Of course, Fox is still on the air, and as far as I know, they haven't been outlawed, so as usual, they're blowing smoke.

          The whitehouse has infinitely more power than Glenn Beck will ever hope to have. Obama and Nancy and Rahm are too thin-skinned and are striking out at their 'critics' in a way remenicent of the 60's. Talk about crybabies!

            OK. Every single radio talk show (all of them conservative where I live) is in a continuous whine about Obama's remarks and somehow Obama is thin skinned. But it doesn't matter to you who is telling the truth. It just matters to you that these clowns continue to dupe the public into voting GOP.

              It's the old "pretend I'm the victim here" game.

              Rep Joe Wilson was the victim of Congressional Democrats, don't you know.

              FoxNews et al are the victims of the WH's enemies list, don't you know?

              Bernie Madoff was the victim of the court system, don't you know.

              Somehow they have to pretend that Obama is being thin-skinned, so that their offensive behavior isn't really offensive, it's just that Obama is too sensitive!!!

      Looks like Obama's resemblence to Che is closer than most people think. Obama's arrogance was bound to lead to this kind of paranoia. Either his arrogance or his drug use is showing it's effect, bur I have never seen a President act so defensively. Just wondering what year 2 of Obama will bring. Hold on!

        Ah, to be a Republican and deal with the REAL issues!

        Let's see, what does it mean to be a Republican?

        1. Anthropogenic climate change is a myth, despite all the evidence that proves it is real.
        2. Intelligent design is real science, despite all the evidence that proves otherwise.
        3. Gay marriage hurts the "institution" of marriage, despite no evidence whatsoever that it does.
        4. Socialism is un-American, despite the fact there is absolutely no reference in our Constitution supporting capitalism as the only economic model. Actually, Article I, Sect. 8 indicates socialism may be ok. Even Thomas Paine advocated Socialism.
        5. There are WMDs in Iraq. Need I say more?
        6. "Moral values" is a valid political position. And who said only Republicans owned moral values? My values ain't the Republican's values - and I AM moral! Figure that one out!
        7. The bible is the infallible word of god. Oh really? Who said? Your minister? Who's he to tell you that? So, a man tells you that a book that men wrote is the infallible word of god. And there are some Nigerians who want you to do simple wire transfers for them. Get it? It's a con!

        I could go on, but some of you get the point.

        Republicans' only positions are based on ignorance, stupidity and lies. Take that away & what do you have? Nothing.

            You missed my point. But, that's no surprise, I guess.

            It doesn't matter who's "in power". Never even mentioned that.

            I'm just stating the "drawing power" of the Republicans to their "base".

            Are you saying my list is wrong?

            BTW - can you explain the behavior of your Republican friends for voting against Al Franken's bill? These "moral values" con-artists?

            Yeah because what took 8 years to destroy was magically going to be fixed in 10 months.........I guess that's why he was called a "magic negro", which can't be more offensive. Not to mention that the party (elephant) almost solely responsible for our position currently, refuses to cooperate to solve the issues, merely for percived political gain. Short term, it may be help, but long term, they will learn the hard way............

              You made a math error. 2006 to 2007 is only 1 year. It took only 1 year after the democrats took over congress to destroy the economy. The "magic negro" term was coined by a reporter/writer for the Los Angeles times. Obama took a bad situation and made it 3 times worse. That's true incompetence.

The Dems just happen to be in the right place at the wrong time and to ignore all what led up to last year's "bursting" is completely disingeneous at best and a flat revision of history at worst....but whatever serves your partisan ideals.......as far as the "magic negro"? I'm well aware of where it started, it's where it got that was the problem, along Obama bucks and the like.... but I was simply referencing to the notion that the POTUS was suppose to clean it all up in such a short time according to the opposition, which would truly be a magic act............

                You have two problems that are inherent to all Americans it seems, puppienrainbows.
                1.) You have a short-term memory.
                2.) You demand instant gratification.
                First, you really should read The Audacity of Hope, then you would realize that Obama is not really even a progressive let alone a communist. Second, he is not an authoritative president which would explain why nothing has really been accomplished. Your own logic betrays you!

        Just a reminder that Fox is suposedely a "news" outfit, not an entertainment network (which they are). This is not the "E" channel or the Food Network, where entertainment and/or opinion is warrented....The problem is not their dissent in it of itself, but their dissent based on nothing but propagated lies and distortions.....I haven't an issue with disagreement as long as it's based in facts and not fabrications.... It they do not want to change their ways (and they won't), then drop the "news" and add "entertainment", lose "fair and balanced" (LOL) and replace it with "fixed and biased". I guarantee that there wouldn't be any further issues with their programming, because it would be seen by everyone, even the blind (metaphorically speaking) for what it is.....And even if it was limited to the "opinion" shows (BS), it's still not an excuse to LIE........

      Pres. Obama's White House "never" claimed that FoxNews was their enemy. Let's see FoxNews produce one video clip showing Obama's White House claiming FoxNews as an "enemy". FoxNews throws rocks at Pres. Obama and Democrats 24/7. And now, they want to cry when these people turn around and throw back rocks at them. Too funny indeed, LOL.

      Fox News will twist any and everything the white house does or say. This is just another example. The White House put Fox News on notice for its misleading and deceptive programming. What Fox do in return? Do they reassure their listeners/viewers that they really are accurate and "fair and balanced"? NO
      They come up with this bogus "enemies list" nonsense, thus giving Fox News MORE excuses to be bias toward this administration.
      Bonehead Sean [Klan]nity have the audacity to display a caption that reads: "Not White House Approved". This is sheer madness. Fox News would have you believe the President of the United States IS the enemy.
      This is clearly treasonous behavior and Fox News should be held accountable and penalized. A door for this kind of one-sided adversary should never be allowed to open because it is dangerous. You have to be concerned with Fox News viewers. How many more criminal assaults on innocent people America must endure before hate TV is deemed unacceptable?
      The question I have for Fox News is; are you trying to get this President killed?

        FoxNews should have known that Republicans would one day become the Minority Party, and given journalist "respect" to ALL political Parties in America. The so-called "enemies list" is just to "distract" people from realizing that they are as the Republican Opposition Cable Channel 24/7.

        Btw, Pres. Obama's White House stated that there is "nothing" wrong with this, so why is FoxNews Channel "NOT" happy? Oh, maybe because Americans have such "low" opinions with Republicans and the GOP Party right now? Uh, oh. LOL

      It seems to reasonable Americans that all the republicans are doing now is trying to dump crap on the president. They have no solutions, they never had solutions that's how come we are in the mess we are in now.

      Look at cheney. Both wars bush and company started went on for eight long years. They had no solution for either. NOW THEY ARE YELLING AND SCREAMING they know what to do, Obama doesn't. If they were so darn smart, if they had solutions to anything, how come they didn't end either war.

      How come the economy collasped. How come Wall Street went bonkers. How come gasoline rose thru the roof. How come they lost all out good paying, good benefit jobs. AND HOW COME THEY LEFT THE PRESIDENCY WITH 8 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT WHEN CLINTON LEFT THEM A SURPLUS.

      Republicans do not, I repeat do not, know how to govern, all they know how to do is spew and spit and dribble.
