      Good luck with that tbaggers. Watch how many folks come out tomorrow for the immigration protests. They are estimating 70,000 people marching. All of those people vote democrat. Dems only got ya beat by about 67,000. This so called tea party movement is largely fictitious, creating by fixed news and the right wing talk show bozos. The left has far more movements with many more members, the key is to get them all to act as one when the time really comes. Just as they did back in Nov. 08'

        Don't forget Heritage Foundation types who set up dummy outrage and give free lunches to simpletons who get on the bus.

      I feel bad; I'm starting to think Cavuto might have some nervous condition that makes him unable to say anything in any form other than a question. (Does that have a name? If not, I propose "Trebek's syndrome".)

      So what?

      MSNBC openly advocates against Republican candidates.

      But you won't see that on Media Matters.

          Is documenting the lies of Republican candidates the same as "openly advocating against them" ? Because HeeHaw may have a point here.

        Let's see. Since President Obama was sworn in, FOX Propaganda has given themselves completely over to being the media outlet for the Republican Party. So, HeeNow, you're going to need about a year's worth of continuous proof before there will be even the possibility of equivalence. Good luck with THAT!

        It is really sad that you cannot see the difference between factual and opinion reporting based on propaganda. Facts are non-partisan. Ailes made it clear last year that Fuchs Noose would be the voice of opposition. This is/was a clearly stated and defined bias, yet you want to smear MMFA and MSNBC for reporting the facts. No wonder a Pew poll showed that people who don't watch Fuchs Noose more about policy than Fuchs Noose viewers. Fuchs is a 24/7/365 disseminator of lies. Shep Smith is the only reporter on Fuchs Noose who even attempts to tell the truth. Fuchs has people roaming D.C. today who don't even know why they're there.

        You pegged my false equivalence meter, HeeNow.

        MSNBC turns its airwaves over to conservative Republicans or Republican supporters Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist from 5:30 to 9 AM every weekday.

        Tell me which Fox News three and a half hour block of airtime is the domain of liberal Democrats.

        I'm waiting...

        That doesn't even to begin scratching the surface. Chris Matthews clearly has a problem with Democrats, but just adores John McCain, Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich.

        MSNBC can count on Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz to complain about Democrats who don't adhere to the liberal party agenda. Which Fox News hosts will condemn a Republican, any Republican for ANYTHING?

        MSNBC is owned by General Electric, a major sponsor of the Reagan birth centennial celebration. Tell me which Democratic president's nationwide birthday party is sponsored by Fox News.

        Try again, HeeNow.

          "MSNBC turns its airwaves over to conservative Republicans or Republican supporters Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist from 5:30 to 9 AM every weekday."

          Moreover, a good deal of MSNBCs broadcasting day is given over to apolitical programming, so the time that Scarborough, etc is proportionately larger than that given to any liberal voices on the 24/7 FOX propaganda network.

      teabaggers seem to forget doug hoffmen and the 23rd district of new york. if health care reform is passed with 216 votes then the teabaggers have to blame them selves for loosing the 23rd district for the first time in a hundred years.

      Tea Partiers are among the dumbest people known to man. They are protesting a piece of legislation that could benefit them and their family, AND they are doing it for the sake of politicians who is more interested in protecting big insurance companies' profits, at the expense of the American people.
      These same politicians enjoy good Healthcare. How stupid can you be?

        They are also protesting non-existent tax increases. They are also protesting against Government-run Health Care, though many of the protesters are on Medicare. They also compare Obama to Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc.

        Dumbest people known to man? I'd say that's about right.
