OMG! Verbal criticism! How will the First Amendment ever survive this vicious abuse of Presidential power?!?!?!

I rest my case.

Actually, the point was that you didn’t get hot and bothered with the way they treated Obama but you get all hysterical(but in a manly way, as Jesus’s General would say) over what RR wrote here.

As to “funneling” FOX news, that is exceedingly hard to do,when you can’t watch them on television. There are at least a hundred different things I could be watching on the computer and reading without reading them.

Says you. “The hands are the hands of Esau, but the voice is the voice of Jacob.”

Of course, you make light of suppression of the Press, when there is a Democrat in the White House

You mean, when that Democrat reminds people appearing on Faux News of Chavez, a ruler who has actually shut down media outlets?

PERINO: That was a coordinated, calculated attack. It was unbecoming. And if you look at some of the coverage of what mainstream media covers when, for example, somebody like a Hugo Chavez shuts down television stations, he calls them illegitimate.

Now, I’m not suggesting that this White House believes that they are going to come over here and shut down Fox News. But they are defining a narrative in their first year, and it’s going to be very hard to recover from it. [...]

Through our State Department, we are trying to help emerging democracies get journalists and government officials to talk to one another, because freedom of the press is essential to any democracy. Believe me, they are watching this, and they have — surely are raising questions.

The reality is:

The Obama administration, according to Reporters Without Borders, is actually setting quite a strong example of press freedom for the world. In 2008, the organization found that in terms of press freedom, the U.S. ranked 36th out of 173 countries. Its report singled out “wars carried out in the name of the fight against terrorism” as a cause for the steep decline in press freedoms around the world. Just one year later, the United States has jumped from 36th to 20th. “Barack Obama’s election as president and the fact that he has a less hawkish approach than his predecessor have had a lot to do with this,” concluded Reporters Without Borders.

But when Pres Bush was in office, you made it seem like the SS was marching in the streets, every time another paragraph giving the government power to fight terrorism was discovered. You called monitoring of telephone traffic, “wiretapping” when it was not. You made it seem like FBI or HSA agents were bashing down Library doors.

The NSA warrantless surveillance controversy concerns surveillance of persons within the United States incident to the collection of foreign intelligence by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) as part of the war on terror. Under this program, referred to by the Bush administration as the “terrorist surveillance program”,[1] part of the broader President’s Surveillance Program, the NSA is authorized by executive order to monitor phone calls, e-mails, Internet activity, text messaging, and other communication involving any party believed by the NSA to be outside the U.S., even if the other end of the communication lies within the U.S., without warrants.

The exact scope of the program is not known, but the NSA is or was provided total, unsupervised access to all fiber-optic communications going between some of the nation’s major telecommunication companies’ major interconnect locations, including phone conversations, email, web browsing, and corporate private network traffic.

But now, with the Administration’s popping up everywhere dissing FOX news , well, who cares ? They’re not real news, anyway.

So who is the Democrat in the WH suppressing if not Faux News?

And Rush Limabugh is the secret, unchosen , unelected head of the Republican Party.

Apparently, to judge by the number of prominent Republicans who had to walk back statements that might’ve even hinted that Rush Limbaugh wasn’t at the forefront of advanced Republican thought, like that fella Michael, Michael, the last name sounds like “Steel” of something like that…………

And Gov Palin can’t possibly beat a smart guy like Pres Obama in 2012…

She has to convince a lot of people, say at least 22% of the current voting population, that she’s the one for the job:

WASHINGTON (CNN) – More than seven in 10 Americans think Sarah Palin is not qualified to be president, according to a new national poll.

Seventy-one percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday morning believe the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee is not qualified to be president, with 29 percent saying she does have the credentials to serve in the White House. Republicans appear split, with 52 percent saying she’s qualified and 47 percent disagreeing with that view.

There was no “beam in my eye” — you referred to something done by FOX News, with whom I have no connection; you might as well have blamed for the decline in popularity of Davy Crockett hats.

Otherwise, my point stands.

You point out the mote in RRs’ remark whilst ignoring the beam of Faux Noise going after a candidate and later a sitting President with all guns blazing, and with more of an numerous, ignorant and credulous audience than either RR or I would ever be able to command.

Take a chill pill.

Are you suggesting some hypocricy on my part? I am not FOX News, nor do I represent them.

No, you funnel whatever you get from them over her, directly or otherwise, and they’re on the same side of many of the causes you believe important and shill here from time to time.

But I see the Obamachine is in full operation, demonizing FOX News: If you are a conservative , you become FOX News, much like Judaism = communism …

Yeah, I’m known as “The Cleaner from Cicero”, folks like you are part of my job.

Remember how that ended?

“Now, children, what do we say when someone concern trolls us?”

“Be afraid. Be very, very, afraid.”

Yes. Conservatives do more mature things like send tea bags in the mail.

Here’s a thought. They’re going to need at least one person on staff–maybe more–to find and remove all the copies of “The Pet Goat” dropped in the library by lefties.

Where do I apply?

After renting the building, paying the security, insurance, advertising, janitorial staff and cost of selling the tickets, my spider-sense says the promoters have already spent more than they took in at the door.

W is only one of several speakers, but obviously the best known, and presumably the headliner. Who is paying W, and how much is he getting of the nothing that is being generated?

Your spider-sense needs some tweaking. You’re a small business owner and you have no clue about how business works, do you? You’re not the loon that keeps floating the conspiracy theory that no one really buys conservative books but big entities that buy them in bulk and then give them away, are you? Is that what spider-sense detects? Nonsense?

Whaa…?

But…he was president for eight, three of which were spent on vaation. Is 12.5% an “acceptable” failure rate in your view? Is there a president with a HIGHER failure rate in “[keeping] us safe”?
