      No wonder, he used to work for Prince Harry Reid. One of the most leftist senators. Noticed how he didn't want to talk about the spin and misinformation on the left. Yeah, complete honesty and integrity there. I wonder how much hairspray he uses. And the Libs are the kings of dividing people on race and other things. The NAALCP, rich against poor, black against white, old against young, straight against gay. Just listen to any campaign ad by a lib. I heard things like black churches were going to burn if Bush was elected. Did that happen? What a bunch of hypocrites.

        You have the point about the COI regarding Sen. Reid, but that's about it. The rest be projection.

        Yeah how dare thos libs call upstanding, God fearing white men on their racism, sexism, homophobia, age discrimination. We could all just get along if those stupid libs could just overlook the hatred. Why would a black church burn if Bush was elected?

        Reid a "leftist"? Is that just because he's a Democrat? And Rabin-Havt is talking about MMFA--the website whose goal is to give FACTS to the lies on FOX "news". You are arguing that Rabin-Havt lacks "honesty and integrity" because he's selling Coke and you are upset that he's not talking about how clean Tide makes his shirts?

        As the "Libs are the kings of dividing people"...were you trying to be punny? Nope. Dr. King tried to bring all people together. His call for justice and integration was for all segments of society. The Republicans don't have a "big tent" philosophy. Pro-choice? Out! Agnostic? Out! Anti-war? Out!

        *Yawn*

        Once again, birdbrain, you fail to grasp the obvious.

        MMFA says upfront that they focus on conservative misinformation. Rabin-Havt didn't talks about it because, nor did Ralston push him on it because there was no point to do so. Would you turn to ESPN to get updated financial advice?

            MMFA gives no opinion. Maybe it showcases opinionated commentary, or articles written by liberals, but they make no claim of those as being (1) a fact, or (2) their own. THEY DO PUT CONSERVATIVES, IN THEIR OWN WORDS, ON RECORD FOR EVERYONE TO HEAR. THAT'S IT, YOU GIVE THEM THE RIDICULOUS MATERIAL, THEY USE IT AGAINST YOU. Dumb dumb

                  I believe it's the birdbrains way of saying, "Once again I fail to grasp the obvious and/or continue to deny that MMFA has clearly stated they cover conservative misinformation."

            Good lord. I should put the sentence, "Once again, birdbrain, you fail to grasp the obvious," on one of the function keys and keep it handy to respond to just about everything you post.

            The entire interview was about MMFA. Ralston asked him about liberal misinformation. Ravin-Havt gave the answer.

              It makes me think that Seahag is several different interns, each not knowing what the other is projecting. Either that, or he/she has that condition that Dana Carvey had in the movie "Clean Slate," where he/she forgets every day what happened in the previous one.

          Hey, Jerry's a fine political thinker. Don't judge the man on his money-making television show. That's like assuming Carroll O'Conner was a racist because Archie Bunker is a racist. The Springer show is ..... TELEVISION! I used to listen to Jerry Springer on Air America (tear drop) when I could. He has a sound political mind and was very generous in listening to the "other side".

        No one can accuse Ralston of lobbing softballs, that's for sure.

        Nevertheless, I felt he asked fair question and he was gracious enough to allow full answers from Rabin-Havt. No interruptions. No rants. No attempts to twist anything into an unrelated editorial.

        That was good journalism. Fox could learn a thing or two from Ralston.

      One of the most pathetic things I can imagine is listening to Rush Limbaugh every day and then parroting his exact words back to other people.

      It shows the person doesn't understand the concepts. If they did they'd be able to put the ideas into their own words.

      And he wants us to believe that he's a bone doctor.
