            I don't think i would look to either of them to find a Witty or Rhythmic Quote.
            Constructive Criticism is a useful tool when done with some intelligence.
            But when the Elmer Fudd & Foghorn Leghorn of posters try to give a critique it's hard to see the Relevance.

              Actually, I think its kindof cool, and no one should be mean about it. Are we not liberals, guys? Tolerance! Compassion! Hypocrisy is reserved for Christian Republicans!

        I agree with ERW...

        Bad News

        It is obvious that you agree that these right-wing scum are scum but I too see no good coming from lowering the bar to the discourse of exposing these right-wing losers.

        I admit that I had found myself going in that direction (at times) in the past and then months later re-reading my past posts wondering why I was getting thumbs down.

        I figured it out...

        On a different note... over at Facebook I had joined a Glenn Beck Fan Club for he sole purpose of exposing their prince as the fraud he is, posting several links from this site and trying to engage in debate...

        Holy crap, talk about a group of brain washed idiots... after only 2 days, I was banned from the group and all my posts were deleted... if that is not typical right-wing fanaticism, I do not know what is!

          I know how you feel.
          I joined Stormfront.com, the "white-nationalist" website which is simply a euphemism for terribly, racist white people.
          I became a member for the sole purpose to challenge their belief that God's children were meant to be segregated, and He created men inequal based on scripture (shocking, I know). Somehow, I was magically revoked of my membership. The hate in their hearts is astounding and medieval.

            There used to be a Stormfront member who sometimes posted here named Finarfin. He evidently at one point tried to get a literature thread started there for well-read racists. Not surprisingly, there was little response.

            Oh, and Bad News, I enjoy your poems. Don't stop on my account.

      So who is it that is "thin skinned"?? The WH or FNC?

      Dare to criticize Fox News and they lose their minds and start crying "Nixon"! "Enemies list"!

      If you're gonna throw bombs all day long at the administration, one ought to expect some pushback.

        Yet it seems that the other "competitors" are siding with them. And my conservative friends are reading off Heritage Foundation talking points memo screaming "1st Amendment violations!"

        Fox News will never grow up, that is why they are successful with the viewers that are scared and lacking perspective of the larger world.

          Ha, exactly! If I'm correct, we have the freedom to speech not the freedom from being called the National Enquirer.

          Does the White House not have the same rights as guaranteed by the Constitution? Is Obama not an American citizen (birthers, I'm ignoring you entirely)? Is he not guaranteed the exact same right to discredit them as they have so lovingly exercised towards him?

            Is the Village Voice anywhere near the White House? Especially during the Bush years? I don't think so, but they're the same type of bias as Fox in reverse except that the Village Voice actually does journalism WITH a much smaller budget.

        And why are soldiers being killed in the Middle East? Is it the the Fox News Channels problem or is it the indecision by the Obama administration?

        The more MMFA pushes there left wing propaganda, and the more the Administration treats Fox News as not a News network, the higher Fox's ratings go.

        Do you get the picture. This seems ridiculous in my opinion. Obama is over his head and is listening to the wrong people.

          Don't even go there bvb! Soldiers are being killed in the Middle East because your dear former president Bush created one of the hugest, most expensive and dangerous military disasters in recent history. They are dying because 1) Rather than focus on getting the cultprit of the 9/11 attacks (as intended originally), Bush dumped a bumch of troops in Afghanistan without direction or plan, then 2) got bored of that mess so he decided to move his attention to someobody totally unrelated to the 9/11 attacks, and then 3) focused his energy and millions of dollars in propaganda to try to deceive everyone into letting him invade another sovereign country, and 4) after the initial 'shock and awe' disaster, and after Bush declares "mission accomplished", a bigger military nightmare occurs, 5) Again, no plan, no clear direction, no focus in Iraq (as in Afhanistan who are by now running around aimless and at great danger), leave all border areas open to insurgents--people who were never able to enter Iraq before the U.S. invasion, such as Al-Qaeda, 6) Now the Iraq problem becomes an immense quagmire, where fringe militant groups from all over the place begin pouring in, nobody knows who is who and who is the enemy of who, chaos ensues for several years, 6) thousands of deaths later..... Bush leaves the scene, President Obama is handed this impossible mess and expected to fix it in 9 months.
          Don't even try blaming this on the Obama administration! President Obama is doing what Bush should have done but lacked the capacity. He is seriously studying the issue, obtaining all the necessary intelligence, and all the professional opinions he can before he make his decision on what step to take next. Throwing more bombs, killing more people, and destroying more homes is not always the answer. He needs to find the best possible answer in order to minimize our casualties and those of the innocent civiliants.
          And your qualifications at commander and chief are what exactly? what country have you run lately?

          Soldiers are dying in Afghanistan because on March 20, 2003, the Bush administration chose to ignore the fight in Afghanistan for the quick victory and PR success that they imagined a war in Iraq to be.

          For the next six years, generals on the ground in Afghanistan, requested more troops to finish the job they started. The administration ignored their requests.

          Now, you, who probably cheered from your keyboard for us to invade Iraq, and who probably whole heartedly supported the Iraq fiasco without once questioning the judgement of an administration that oversaw the killing of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, want quick, easy answers that require more from those who've already given too much.

          Soldiers are dying because Bush/Cheney, Fox and their followers like you, have say mute and sacrificed nothing for this country except empty, hollow, jingoism since 2001.

      So, Fox rallies the so-called victims of the WH "enemies list" to once again promote their agenda. What timing!

      It's no secret the Chamber of Commerce and the Health Insurance Cos. are against reforms that may jeopardize their flow of corporate welfare.

      US corporations bemoan that they pay the highest tax rates in the world, when the effective tax rate of 20% to 25% is in line with the rest of the world. Gee, why would they lie about that? They want us to keep pouring those corporate entitlements on them.

      Of course they don't want to loose all this free money. So now they want to play the victim to make sure they continue their corporate entitlements.

      Let the so called Fox news know and that their candidates loss the election and will have to wait till the next election. Their goals now is to disrupt the president policies from being effected. It is left to the majority to figure their intent and know what the real agenda is. Any network that will parade the republican position 24/7 and occasionally bring in token and uninformed opposition to defend a position they do not know anything about - is a network with an agenda. When will the elected members know what their intentions are. You better pass the bills you care about and act like leaders. As long as your next election is more important to you, your impact on your constituency will be limited and marginalised.

      I figured out what is happening. Fox and the republican party have engaged in physchological warfare, and for those who don't just get totally confused you become totally frustrated because you feel as if you are going a bit crazy. You see, they are heavily using projection when they speak, whereas everything they are doing, they claim the "liberals" or Obama are doing it. Glenn Beck has had a real 'enemies' list of all the liberals and whatever in the Obama administration that he targets. Then he goes after them. Everyone who has resigned under the Obama administration was on Beck's hit list. Yet, Fox et al. claim that President Obama has an "enemies list". They accuse President Obama of wanting to take over the country, with all this "government control" yet their own republican president was the one who brought forth the most blatant 'government control' efforts in recent history, the patriot act.
      The rants about 'ranioning our health care', 'death panels', denying care' are actually issues that we already face with the private health insurance industry--they ration health care by only approving care and services that are cheapest for them, they kick you off their membership roles if you become too ill and your illness becomes too expensive, they deny care for pre-existing conditions (death panel like). However, the republicans and Fox, who are the little foot soldiers for the private insurance industry, claim that any form of health reform that includes governmet involvement will lead to these horrific scenarios (which we already experience)! Can you see the insanity of it all?
      The reason why it works for certian people is that so many people are under-educated, poorly infomred, don't read, and have lived of 8 years of having to be paranoid about anything and everything, including your neigbor--'be afraid, very afraid' was the motto of the past administration for 8 years. Now the republicans and Fox are sowing that fertile ground to their advantage.
      How sick is that? There ought to be a law against this sort of thing, its terrorism.

      And Politico's Mike Allen writes, Fox News isn't the only target on the White House's dartboard. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the focus of "a campaign by the White House and its allies to undermine [the] $200-million-a-year association."

      The fight with Fox News has been more pointed and sustained - and is much less likely to abate anytime soon, while the spat with the Chamber is more delicate for the White House.
