      I was stuck watching Fox "News" at the gym today, and saw a commercial for O'Reilly's show- "Tea party under attack! Is it fair? Bill and his guest Bernie Goldberg analyze the controversy!"

      To think that there are thousands of mouth-breathers who think this is a NEWS channel...

      It's not like any of the other lib controlled media would have covered it. Let any white guys try what the Black Panthers did and I am so sure you libs would have called it a non issue.

        The "Lib Controlled Media" is too busy covering actual news stories to build mountains out of molehills, and molehills out of NOTHING, like Fox does on a daily basis.

        Okay.
        A) They're not the "Black Panthers", they're an unaffiliated group. The Black Panthers condemn these idiots.
        B) What do you imagine they "did"? No one complained of intimidation. The dork with the nightstick had default judgment obtained against him by the Obama DOJ. Oh, wait, that's right, you want him publicly executed, so that won't get you NEARLY hot enough.
        and I am so sure you libs would have called it a non issue.

        Well, let's see. Do you think the refusal of the Bush DOJ to go after the Minutemen who went to a polling station with a gun was a non-issue? I'm guessing yes.

        Whenever a white, right wing militia group or person is implicated in some violent undertaking, FOX goes out of its way to either downplay it and/or to make sure that the violence is not associated with the conservative movement generally.

        However, in this instance, you would think this little insignificant group, the New Black Panther Party, was the biggest, most dangerous group in America...and that they had offices in the White House.

        Personally, I'd like to see the crickets when you get your wish and "any white guy", say a Republican leaning white guy, goes up to polling place in an overwhelmingly WHITE area known to vote heavily REPUBLICAN and, if anything, spouts off about the racial OTHER this and that... while people walked freely, entering and leaving the polling place, without incident.

        Did you get that? "Any white guy" standing outside an overwhelming WHITE the polling place talking about blacks or minorities or some such.

        Yes, I'd really like that to happen so you can witness the utter ridiculousness of your pathetic attempt to claim that there is some double-standard or hypocrisy afoot.

        It's almost as if you have an issue with the voter intimidation cases "libs", I suppose, championed in the past. What else could be the basis for what you are so sarcastically sure "libs" would do/say IF... IF... "any white guys" tried what the New Black Panthers did.

        Other media have covered it. They've covered how Fox has race-baited in order to snag people like you.

        I agree but it's not a racial incident that happen. What the Rep/Cons/Tea don't realize is that this was mostly a black voting precinct and they the NBPP didn't want the blacks to vote for Pres Obama. It was two people one who was working the polls there who was able to stay and the other on with the billy club was removed. Pres Bush didn't pursue charges as well. This was done under his leadership. If you and others don't see what Fox is trying to do you should know all the facts and not just what the C team is telling you.

        Refudiate(oops repudiate) what I'm saying.

        First, Fox isn't a "news" source. They have admitted that the majority of their programming is agenda-based opinion. It wasn't an issue to the people in the voting precinct . . . there have been NO complaints filed. None of the cable networks are true "news" sources. If that's where you are getting your "news," you are uninformed.

        Maybe you should actually educate yourself, dumba**.

      What say I? That the Washington Post is not a "liberal" newspaper. It is a Fox News amplifier. Fox is not a responsible organization, and not a news organization at all. It is currently in an all-out effort to whip up racial animosity among its white viewers with a view thereby to influence this fall's elections.

      So say I, Bill. And so would say any clear-eyed, honest observer of the dreadful, reprehensible behavior of your employer.
