      Megyn Kelly's question inflection is ready for prime time. Fat Pig Ailes, take notice.

      And wow, 00000000000000000000001% of the country gets to spout slogans on a propaganda network. I'm probably missing a few zeroes as much as the protesters are missing something, anything.

        What's amusing to me is how certain these few thousand protesters are, like the 70k or so who showed up for 9-12, that they represent some vast unsung majority of Americans, MickD. Guess they forgot about the elections of 2006 and 2008.

        How did Dumbya put it?

        "See, in my line of work you've got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."

            I get quotes regularly on my Google page, it's the 'Chimp-o-matic'.

            e.g. "Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is.
            --George W. Bush

            04/09/1999
            in the Houston Chronicale, regarding Kosovo"

            Changes with 'refresh page'.

        No...this is the true dark underbelly of America, cloaked in middle class respectability. They've been around for a long time...with simmering hatred.

        I am elated that health care reform is finally being passed...but seeing these people I can't say that today I am proud to be an American.

        i KNOW. How old is that footage. That looked like it was from the summer town hall meetings or something. At least show a recent protest. FOX distorts even when there is no need to go that far.

      These people were standing on the balcony of the Cannon Building rotunda, where they do the House stand-up interviews. Look at the faces, and the anger and multiply that by the tens of thousands. It is more than a bit scary. You can wind up that kind of fury, but you can't control it. This is very dangerous.

        Thanks for your firsthand reporting, epkklk851. I am far from DC, and it's hard sometimes to evaluate what's going on from watching TV. We can only hope (and pray, for those who do) that the hate and intolerance really is from a tiny minority, and that peace will return to the land real soon.

              Republicans don't dare angering their gods( Limbaugh, Beck, Ailes, quite possibly Bush 41 and others who seem to hold them under their spell ( big donors ? ). Look what happened to Rep Cao. He was for health care and now he is against.

                and Rep. Cao (R-Louisiana) spoke yesterday on the House Floor stating that his brother, father and sister ALL had some kind of illness but he had to apologize to them and tell them that he was going to "opposed" HCR and vote "NO" like the rest of his Republican House Members. Hmmm, Rep. Cao may have some to think that he placed the Republican Party ABOVE his own blood just to keep his Republicans happy. Wow. Just imagine what Rep. Cao would do when it came down to his Voters in Louisiana or his Republican Party in Washington. Uh, oh. LOL.

        Fox Mews Coverage of TP protest:

        I noticed that the TP crowds were spaced out .. about 3 to 4 feet between each TP protester on the lawn..

        This made the TP Protest/protester look LARGER on the TUBE!

          our favorite with the whole HCR debate from Republican Callers on C-Span was when this Senior Lady called in as a Republican and stated that the Democrats should keep their hands off of her Medicare 'cause she did NOT want government run healthcare. The C-Span Interviewer told the Senior Lady that Medicare was a gov't run healthcare. The Senior Lady "DISAGREED" and said how her MEDICARE was the BEST in the world. Huh? Too funny indeed. LOL.

      I know that we're not supposed to bring up race when we criticize irresponsible conservatives, but did anyone else notice the skin colour of the crowd? All white. All of them. Sure, I'm aware that there are quite a few blacks and Latinos who are also strongly fiscally conservative and are incensed about the bailouts, but after the slurs used yesterday, there really is no doubt any more.

      But go ahead, Fox, encourage it. The Democrats won a huge victory, leaving you totally high and dry. In the history books, people will look at you the same way we look at McCarthy now.
