if? IF? IF???? Are you serious...IF? Its an if to you?

Well, MSNBC is far right of many of my views and left of some as well. Whereas Fox is astronomical units far right of many of the farthest right people I know. The farthest left people I've ever met are still only middle left. Whereas Fox News is so far right I used to think that distance from center only existed in cartoons and bleak visions of the future like 1984.

Im scared of your views if MSNBC is far right of some of them.

Except that there is actual evidence for the latter comment.
a) Obama was a memeber of Reverend Wright's church for 20+ years, whom spewed hatred of America and white society.
b) Obama passed a tax on tanning salons which only white people use.

Tanning booths? I have to admit that's really funny.

Going back to the Rev Wright stuff again? Let's compare two statements

Rev. Wright says God will damn America is it doesn't treat it's people right.

Rep. Michelle Bachman says God will curse America if it doesn't maintain proper support of Israel

Esentially the same statement. I would be more worried about a member of congress with these feelings.

No Outrage Found

1) Newt takes a stoopid cheap shot at the President at the SRLC;
2) A TV Talking Head shoots from the mouth (causing some to wonder just what that hole might really be best used for); and
3) Worlds collide, Internet jockeys rage.


Welcome to America.

I don't think Gingrich is a racist; I do think his choice of words was poor, or at the very least, interesting. Compare and contrast with Palin saying, "we need a real commander-in-chief, not a law professor at the lecturn." Seems as though the right can't get their stereotypes straight. Is he an elitist egghead who is out of touch with the concerns of ordinary Americans, or a muscle-headed jock who is stoo stupid to be President? Perhaps it doesn't matter so long as he can in some way be cast as not Presidential. Where the end goal is shared, the means are irrelevant.

Oh, the reporter's comment was a rather foolish over-reach.

Seems like the reporter was reading into things too much. Typical. Always reaching for something.

I'm betting Gingrich was making a reference to Obama injecting himself into the Final Four last week via a piece CBS did with him shooting baskets with Harry Smith in a quasi interview.

LOL - The liberal counterpoint on Fox News (supporting the opposition to the new AZ immigration law) called all illegal immigrants "dishwashers"

HAHAHA. These people are showing their true colors.
