OMG, what I wouldn’t give for a Winstead’s double right now.

I objected to your claim that Obama personally left them disenfranchised and jobless, like he went around the country and fired people. It’s dishonest and stupid.

Here’s a problem: There’s no control to know how unemployment would be if someone else was at the helm of the Presidency. You compare the unemployment rate now as compared to immediately prior to Obama’s taking office – the issue is that it’s not a fair comparison. There are almost certainly other factors that impact joblessness differentially than who is President. There’s little reason to suspect that unemployment rates would be any better or worse under a Republican president at this point in time.

I doubt you are capable of grasping this, however, so keep crowing about how the unemployment rate is high and how that’s awesome for the Republicans. If it turns around, and unemployment goes down, I suspect that you will be as silent as a mouse. Just like what happened with your commentary on the Dow earlier this year.

I don’t give a shit.

The right? They’re already tuning in.

Anyone who takes Fox News seriously as a news organization is an idiot. There, I said it.

The Left? Obama made them hate the station even more and forced them to give up their princples of free speech to support him.

Lies, all lies, Dennis. Obama is not forcing anyone to give up their principles of free speech. This is complete nonsense.

It’s the indies and center-left, and if you need verification that these groups are feeling disenfranchised and/or are jobless, let me know.

What would happen is that Obama would propose more rails to meet current needs, some conservative would say that Mussolini talked about rails, another conservative would say that ACORN runs amtrak because they both have offices in Baltimore, and that the whole thing is a communist plot.

Fascism;
a system of government characterized by rigid one-party dictatorship, forcible suppression of opposition, private economic enterprise under centralized governmental control, belligerent nationalism, racism, and militarism

With the exception of the last portion regarding belligerant nationalism and militarism, Obama does’t really have enough pride in his alleged homeland to qualify for the former or the balls for the latter, everything else seems to fit given the constraints he has to work with. Sure the suppression of the opposition isn’t forced but the will to do that is there just not the means. The private enterprise under centralized government control project is proceedingly nicely.

LOL, the biggest difference between Obama and Mussolini is Mussolini got the trains to run on time, Obama would federalize the rails, turn them over to SEIU and slow them down.

LA Times: Fox News isn’t legit, but WH was wrong to say so

As the MSM commentary of the Fox News/WH ‘debate’ continues to deaden the senses, with its now almost comical uniformity of how horribly wrong the administration is for fact-checking Fox News, the Los Angeles Times’ Tim Rutten’s belated, yet predictable, entry to the genre caught our attention if only for this passage:

Even though the White House is right on the merits when it describes Fox News as operating mainly as a surrogate for the Republican Party, making an issue of that fact is a tactical mistake.

Are you following? Rutten comes right out and concedes that the White House is right on the facts; that Fox News is not a legitimate source of journalism. In fact, according to the newspaper’s columnist, Fox News consists of “long stretches of editorial comment, conservative and pro-Republican, interspersed with snippets of normative reporting.”

Wow. That’s exactly the point the White House has been making. But Rutten isn’t interested in holding the news media outlet accountable for his unprofessional brand of partisan reporting. Rutten, like virtually every pundits on the planet, is sure it’s the White House that’s out of line with its critique.

Incredibly, Rutten agrees with the critique. Rutten agrees that Fox News is essentially a propaganda outlet for the RNC. Rutten just doesn’t think it made sense tactically for the White House to highlight that fact publicly.

Right on! Assassination attempts, half-assed beachhead invasions, airline bombings, industrial sabotage and embargos will soon someday topple the Castro regime -look how well that’s worked for the last 50 years!

How about the LA Times?

Fox News relishes Obama administration scorn

But the White House’s stance also gave extra lift to the network at a time when it is on track to record its best ratings year ever. This year, Fox News has averaged nearly 1.2 million viewers across all its programming, a 16% increase over the same period last year, according to Nielsen. In the two weeks since aides to President Obama took after the coverage, the audience has been 8% larger than the previous two weeks.

If anything, the Obama administration has succeeded in reinforcing Fox News’ identity as a thorn in the side of the establishment — a role the network loves to play.

Who do you think comprises this influx of viewers, mambo?

The right? They’re already tuning in.

The Left? Obama made them hate the station even more and forced them to give up their princples of free speech to support him.
