            Actually, the biggest nightmare for a parent is to have your child be missing and not knowing where they are. Even though the death of your child in an ill-advised and idiotic war is tragic and nightmarish for a parent, at least there's some closure; you know what happened to your child.

            When your child is missing....

            But then again, Fox News has never really cared about that. Showing up at a protest you might disagree with is the biggest nightmare for them.

              I suppose, in their binary brains, failing to raise a child that is an ideological clone of themselves is unendurable.

              danielsangeo,
              I must disgree. Nancy Grace built her career on missing children/young women. You must not be white. Fox doesn't care much about non-white children, it's true. But if you are white, blonde, female, and attractive, why you have the whole network at your disposal.

        This parent is taking his 16 year old (half day of school today) in to the City and down to the protests this afternoon. My nightmare is that, if the protests don't result in real change, and the financial sector is left free to destroy the economy, he'll have no future.

        I agree. How do they go home and attempt to teach their children values such as honesty and respect of others when they spend their mornings being paid to just the opposite?

          That is a pretty big assumption there. I would be shocked to learn that any of those tools teaches their kids honesty and respect for others. My guess it that they instead teach their kids how to avoid being straight-out caught in a lie and how best to put down anyone different.

        I don't know. I think these people all know exactly what they're doing and they just don't care. Which is kind of worse. I mean, being stupid isn't a choice; the actions of the stupid can deserve at least some level of forgiveness. But I don't think anybody on Fox is stupid. I think they all know exactly what they're doing and, to me, that's worse. It's mercenary. They're choosing to engage in an effort that harms others, and for some of them, that might even be a motivation.

      One group is protesting the systematic destruction of the Middle Class, the other is throwing a tantrum over the firing of an old millionaire football coach. Hmmmmm.... with which group will the Troglodytes empathize... let me guess....

            I seriously doubt that corporations would take over everything and appease us with sports.

            Just one look at U.S. Cellular Field, Comerica Park, Minute Maid Park, Target Stadium, AT&T Park, Tropicana Field, Citizens Bank Park, Chase Field, Safeco Field, Progressive Field, Petco Park, Citi Field, Sun Life Stadium, PNC Park, MetLife Stadium, FedEx Field, Everbank Field, Bank of America Stadium, Qualcomm Stadium, M&T Bank Stadium, Gillette Stadium, Lincoln Financial Field, Century Link Field, Heinz Field, or Lucas Oil Stadium should be proof enough that corporations aren't even remotely involved in sports.

            So, no. I see no Rollerball in our future.

      The FOXPAC equivilant in the 1950s would have asked if the biggest nightmare for a parent would be if they saw their child at a civil rights march

      Propaganda is only as powerful as the credibility of the people spewing it. And seeing as the people who staff and support FOXPAC are the biggest bunch of racist, sexist, fascist, lying hypocrites there is, one can see their following waning.

      61% of Americans agree with OWS... up from 59% when Oh'Really said it would go lower... Maybe that's why he pussed out of his show last night, he pulled a Nancy Grace.

          What does that (pulling a Nancy Grace) mean?
          Nancy Grace, during the Duke lacross rape case was so adament about the accused players guilt that she literaly shouted down anyone who pointed out the weakness in the prosacutions case.

          When the prosacution came out and admitted he was hiding exculpatory evidence that proved the players innocent... Nancy Grace took a 2 week vacation, and when she came back spoke not a word about the case again (let alone an apology to the players)

            Well, it was a 53 year old man who was found dead, but I've been seeing a lot of this, conflating crimes or deaths in large , densely populated cities with OWS present as cause and effect.

            I'm not really sure what D.Boned was getting at, that the protesters aren't "caring" enough because the guy wasn't found in his tent right away ?

            These weak smears depicting any tragedy or unlawfulness at OWS protests as the result of the protests reminds me of that baseball episode of The Simpsons, where Chief Wiggum pulls over one of the New York players, and arrests him based on all of the unsolved murders in the Big Apple.

            It's funny in a cartoon, not so funny when it's somebody whose vote counts just like yours or mine.

                      Sure. Beyond race (which, for some reason, you are completely dismissive of, but was a huge problem and disgusting attitude against people that might have a color of skin that's different from you or a different culture or nationality), there is empowerment of all human beings, not just straight white Christian men.

                      The "few modern conveniences" that you are also dismissive of actually modernized communication amongst people. You call it "erosion of people's character" because they might use a word you don't like. Filth? Making a woman move in a bus is filth, not someone dropping the F-bomb. Filth? Telling someone that they're not allowed to marry the person they love is filth, not slang.

                      It's better. But not great. Not while people like you are burdening us with your backwards ways. You are the erosion of character.

                        I'm very sorry it makes you uncomfortable that people of your generation degraded, disenfranchised and in many cases actively waged terrorist warfare against people for the color of their skin. But that doesn't change the fact that it did.

                        Or gangs that are destroying our society.

                        Dude... there have been gangs in America for hundreds of years. And they certainly aren't "destroying America". Violent crime is way down, regardless of what Drudge tells you.

                    Explain.

                    Let's see.

                    Less violent crime now than then.

                    No illegal abortions with women dying because of it.

                    More connected and informed society.

                    No legal discrimination against minorities.

                    Women can have careers now instead of just being made to stay at home and make babies and take care of the house.

                    Black man as President when in the 50's he wouldn't have been allowed to vote.

                        I remember watching an old Password show from the 60's. The password was "butt". The guest stars who saw that word looked embarrassed and squirmed in their seat. There was giggles from the audience. One guest star gave cigarette as a clue. Another said "rear". They acted relieved when the clue was over.

              He's not a conservative, he's an authoritarian talking points machine. He's been told that the 50s were EXACTLY like Father's Knows Best, Leave it to Beaver, The Donna Reed Show and Lassie. The fact that it's pure BS is irrelevant. That's what he's been told he's supposed to believe and to say.

              I'm a child of the 50s and 60s. I saw horrible images of black people being beaten and anyone who helped them being beaten, I saw black churches bombed with children inside, I lived through the fear of the Cuban Missile Crisis (in a town with a SAC air base no more than 5 miles from my home), I lived through the monthly Civil Defense "duck and cover" drills, I saw the President of the United States murdered, I saw his alleged murderer (he had never been tried) murdered right in front of my 10 year old eyes, I saw Martin Luther King murdered, I saw Bobby Kennedy murdered right in front of my 15 year old eyes, I saw Buddhist priest immolate themselves in protest of the Viet Nam War, I saw the nightly body count on Huntley&Brinkley while we were preparing dinner, I saw the death of a dear friend in Viet Nam at the age of 15, I witnessed the gunning down of students, some who were just walking across the campus to class, at Kent State . . . . I can go on, but I think you get my drift.

              My childhood has many, many wonderful memories that I cling to and remember fondly, but the 50s and 60s were NOT the idyllic times portrayed on the ridiculous television shows of the times. They were FANTASY, squawks.

                It's a "words over actions" thing, a superficial view that seems very common in right winger types.

                Look at comment threads on websites, where the "polite" type wingnuts will lie, promote every smear they can repeat, insult everybody's intelligence, but the moment somebody calls them an idiot or liar, they're flabbergasted at the incivility and vitriol.

        Yes Bobby and Suzie, let's go to OWS rally and watch all the hippies and druggies spit, urinate on cars, and show disrespect to the police. - boxtop455113
        In most locations the protesters and the police are getting along fine. In a handful of cases, the police applied violent force against non-violent protesters as a result of decisions made by politicians. In an even smaller handful of cases, isolated individuals acted crudely toward police.

        I'd bet that you could take a couple of kids to an OWS rally anywhere in the country for a full day and wouldn't see any of what you described. The worst would be a little bit of the swearing that seems to upset you so much. My kids were able to withstand that without being traumatized.
