The reporter didn't hear a Daily Show talking point so she cut him off, and you're here bashing him because he sounds like he's just spewing a talking point. Your type of dishonesty is what is turning this country into a shithole because you actively seek to trap others in your own stupidity.

Fact is, 99.9% of the morons at these tea parties have not had their taxes raised, instead they'll be benefiting from a tax break under Obama. Like I said, they have no f'ing clue why they're so pissed off other than the fact that Fox News told them to be.

Deficit spending might as well be a tax increase, because we're going to have to pay for it eventually. Some of us have been pissed about deficit spending since Bush though. At least Obama has a better excuse for spending money he doesn't have.

Taxes WILL go up. If you had a reliable news agency you would easily know what they are protesting, but instead of you limit yourself to only batshit crazy liberals who wouldn't tell the truth if their life depended on it.

You're pissing and moaning about a couple of hours, and you haven't had a grasp on reality for at least eight years. :roll:

I guess you were out teabagging for most of those eight years when those of us who figured it out were telling you that your EX-Traitor In Chief would squander trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives on his war of LIES in Iraq and tank whatever was left of our economy by abandoning all regulation and oversight of his wealthy Wall Street robber baron contributors.

Didn't your mother ever warn you, if you didn't stop it, you'd go blind? :laugh:

What does this have to with the thread and why are you not spamming your 'macros' against the greater evil Obama who is making Bush look like Fidel Castro on spending?

I can't believe you just used a cartoon as evidence of media bias. Or that you termed a talking dog a liberal with a "damning tone".

You may want to step away from the boob tube for a little while and talk to someone about the whole persecution complex - it's funny, but not ha-ha funny, know what I mean?

Edit: I needed to quote what you wrote for posterity.

Over-stimulated, perhaps, by the Tea Party surrounding him, Fox News reporter Cody Willard called the recently passed stimulus package fascist, and urged viewers to "wake up and start fighting the fascism" that is coming from the U.S. government.

Time to smell the Java.

So bias is calling out both Republicans and Democrats? He blames Republicans more than Democrats in his little blurb there... Guess you didn't catch that subtle piece of info.

So biased is being biased, period.

The people that went to these tea party things aren't exactly the cream of the crop brains wise.

Yeah we know, every person that isn't a flaming liberal is an idiot.. thats been the standard line since 1980.

Well, thanks for doing your part on this forum to prove that theory is correct =)

Actually, no... what turned this country into a shithole was the right wing nutjobs lthat think like you do, were in charge for 8 years straight. Now we are all about fixing the mistakes.

Back on topic... Yes, the big bad liberal media... Imagine the incredible bias it must take for a news organization reporting on the tea party to actually come out and say "these people don't represent all americans" when reporting about a rally held by people that clearly dont represent all americans... Oh, wait - that just sounded too stupid.

your thread = fail. Move on to the next whiney thread already.

The difference is that everyone doesn't play the victim card the way the "right" does - which tends to come in a full deck from the rightwingers.....

Everyone is out to get them, everyone is a lefty lefty lib - omigods they's gonna take ma freedom....

They are a bunch of Scarlett O'Haras'

/oh, the drama, the drama...........

Hmm... What could it possibly be? Could it be that you said:

I replied to comment on that relative short sightedness. You're pissing and moaning about two hours, but you couldn't see the horror coming when the sane people told you your EX-Traitor In Chief was lying about his reasons for invading Iraq and that it would cost trillions of dollars. We didn't know how many American lives it would cost, but I hope you're happy with all the blood and money you and your morons wasted.

taxes WILL go up. If you had a reliable news agency you would easily know what they are protesting, but instead of you limit yourself to only batshit crazy liberals who wouldn't tell the truth if their life depended on it.

More proof that you don't know your ass from that huge hole you're digging for yourself. The taxes you're bitching about are all Bushwhacko taxes. Congress has yet to pass a budget or a tax bill under Obama's watch.

You can cry all you want about it, and you can dispute how the money should be spent, but we were on the hook for trillions in current and future money to pay for their war in Iraq and trillions more to repair the damage done by their failure to oversee and regulate their greedy Wall Street robber baron contributors.

Your pathetically short attention span is getting in the way of your replies being funny enough to laugh at. Guess you'll have to settle for pity. :laugh:

Maybe those idiots figured out us borrowing trillions of dollars from China to jump start an economy that's in the shitter, while paying 3 dollars back for every dollar we borrowed aint that grand an idea?


That or they are just mindless ditto heads

Well, as near as I can tell, he's either calling for restrictions on freedom of the press, or he's just a whiny bitch.

Seriously, what real conservative would waste his time watching this video, much less waste even more getting upset about it?

Thats right, All right wing nut jobs still have us in Iraq and are borrowing more money from China to kickstart a shitty economy. Blame Bush all you want, he's in hiding somewhere and all I can see is Democrats making things worse.

So check out the video of a CNN reporter. For most liberals on here, she's probably their hero as she does her damnest to portray the attenders of the "tea party" as fringe lunatics. In one video i saw of her she makes sure to stipuluate at the beginning of the video that the people don't represent all americans. If you understand anything about subtly in marketing you can appreciate how important it would be for a liberal to say something like that before breaking to them this unavoidable story.

Then there's Anderson Cooper making the statement of "you can't say much when you're tea bagging".

I watched an episode of Family Guy yesterday on hulu where Brian (the liberal talking dog) uses his damning tone talk about Foxnews' bias. The creators of Family Guy are so openly liberal and hateful, once having the entire RNC shown blown up as a joke, that they can't for the life of them see what lies they perpretrate.

It's a huge media war going on, on one hand the left accuses Fox of being biased, which openly shows all points of view, and shops like CNN/NBC etc can't show up to 1 anti Obama or anti big government protest without pretending they're doing a comedy tour.

FYI some lefties refer to CNN as "Conservative News Network".

It's all about perspective. If your hard right then you think CNN is left wing. If your hard left then you think CNN is right wing.

Your hard right, that's why you think Fox News is the only "fair and balanced" network in a "sea of liberal bias".

Totally agreed...

But in this case, I fail to see how coming out up front and stating "these people don't represent all americans" when reporting on a rally held by people that clearly dont represent all americans is biased. If anything it was just stating the obvious.

I think her actions there weren't very professional, but it is interesting that it highlights the whole difference between FOX and CNN. Fox news' bias is purposeful and systemic, CNN had a reporter act badly.

The difference is Fox claims to be Fair and Balanced while CNN doesn't claim this.
