I've learned that it's Fox News' only real area of Expertise.
Like when they play a song with their Butts as they Cut the Cheese.
Speak truth to power.
Mr. News
Don't you think that's what fascists tell the masses?

Plausible deniability for a news program my a$$.
Of course, I have to dig out my old MAD magazines, I remember one headline when they parodied the Enquirer: 8 year old girl gives birth to teenager!
I guess there's nothing liberal or conservative about racism. But there sure is something right-wing about racism, and that's the real problem here. A strong conservative voice would be a welcome asset to our democracy - if there were any left with a shred of wisdom and responsibility.
The corporate Republican position and the teabagger's trailer park position.
I fcuking KNEW it. I must admit I had doubts about my suspicions, as you seemed to have crawled out of the most demented of your ramblings. But now it is confirmed.
The troll formally known as ABBA.
With a teabagging fetish.
That's a direct line from ABBA.
ILLEGAL ALIENS, anyone, any color, any heritage is the United States of America without permission, or ILLEGALLY....If they were IMMIGRANTS they would be here LEGALLY and be welcomed...
DEFLECT< SPIN and LIE... take simple accurate terms and twist them..... mmfa and the mmfa shills
YOU people, the left-wing nutters are the RACISTS, You're easy to spot, always calling others RACIST....
Tell me, EXACTLY what does RACISM have to do with ILLEGAL ALIENS or LEGAL IMMIGRANTS... come on, open your little pea brains and find some talking points and more spin......
Oh, and did you know that the troll would...wait for it... rather be a teabagger than teabagged? It would! I know, right?
Unless your heritage is Seminole, Sioux or another Native American tribe.
Absolutely right, OCD.
Those Europeans that landed at Plymouth Rock and at Jamestown should NEVER have been allowed to stay . . .
"Obama has said that he does not believe that the 12 million illegal immigrants should be deported. He said 'It's not going to happen. We're not going to go round them up ... We should give them a pathway to citizenship.'"
"Obama has supported granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrant"
"In November 2007, Obama stated that, 'We can … go a long way toward meeting industry’s need for skilled workers with Americans. Until we have achieved that, I will support a temporary increase in the H-1B visa program as a stopgap measure until we can reform our immigration system comprehensively.'"
"In July 2007, Obama said, 'Find out how many senators appeared before an immigration rally last year. Who was talking the talk, and who walked the walk -- because I walked…I didn't run away from the issue, and I didn't just talk about it in front of Latino audiences.'"
"'I believe we must secure our borders, fix our broken immigration bureaucracy, and require the 12 million undocumented to get on a responsible path to citizenship. I will also increase the number of people we allow in the country legally to a level that unites families and meets the demand for jobs employers cannot fill. I support comprehensive immigration reform that includes improving our visa programmes, including the H-1B programme, to attract some of the world's most talented people to America', Obama said in an interview with IANS in October 2008"
Oh there are more. But those were the easiest quote to find. Not only did obama express that he desired immigration reform and that he would not shy from the issue but he supported increasing issuing of visas, he was expressly against deportation and "GET OUR 12 MILLION UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS ON THE PATH TO CITIZENSHIP." That was in october of 2008. Just because you don't remember it and can't find the time to look stuff like this up (about ten seconds) doesnt mean obama never said it. The lies are just out of control.
2) Reagan, Clinton and Bush 2 all got second terms, so even if Obama was lying about this (which he isn't), the American people don't seem to mind.
What kind of person celebrates the pain of others? zamfir273114, you have shown your tighty-whities.
"Mass amnesty"??
George Will said it was water . . .
And earlier, Insanity said was kickbacks to Congressman Stupak . . .
Get your smears STRAIGHT, wingnuts!
