My friends (tee-hee)...Why are smart people like you watching Faux Noise? I never give Faux the benefit of my remote button’s click.  You and I all know they’re not “fair and balanced.”  We know they’re not an actual “news” station…they’re a propaganda station run by Goebbels clones. If I want to know what lies and spins Faux is putting out on the airways, I go to http://www.newshounds.us/

<<<grin>>

When are the Democrats going to go on Fox Noise and NAIL them for pretending that radical right-wing wacko Andy Martin is a “source” on Barack Obama’s history.

This lying racist sonuvabitch has been cited by Hannity and in Fox specials, all trying to “show” that Obama is really a Moslem (and therefore lying), not born in the US (therefore not eligible to President—aside: McCain was born in the Canal Zone), etc, etc.

Fox has been on a campaign against Obama from Day One, with the “Terrorist” knuckle pounding to “Obama Mama” etc.

And the Fox noise ditto-heads STILL buy into their lying motto “Fair and balanced” while they promote the right-wing agenda. Even their one-time respectable reporters all sold out, like Greta van Susteran (excuse the spelling).  Even Brit Hume was once, long ago, a real journalist.  Long ago.

Do we want democracy or the continual march to fascism?  If McCain wins, we’ll soon have Sarah Barracuda as our empress, locking up dissidents, shutting down newspapers, firing non-lackies.  She’ll appoint “The First Thug” as enforcer of this.

We’re on the brink, folks, on the brink.

McCain has made an effort to calm the hatefullness the Republican campaign has fostered.  Palin hasn’t.  Why not?
It’s in her school girl level of maturity not to.  Here’s what happened in January 2008 when an editorial in the Alaska Daily News called her on it.

Did Todd act legally in this troopergate? 
Why don’t we discuss Todd Palin more than Ayers?

What a complete and utterly disgusting person davis is, he’s rude, ignorant and I want to take a baseball bat to his head, why are repubs such pathological liars and why if the straight talk express said it wasn’t going to have any lobbyists on his campaign is he still the head of it, even though he is still taking money from corp clients, repubs have no honour and I can’t wait till the 4th to see them destroyed, good riddance to bad rubbish

Utter nonsense.  What these two need is not a moderator, but a mother. 

I’ll never forget the day I was shopping and these two boys about 6 ft.(maybe 16-17yrs) were being as obnoxious as teen-age boys can get.  The mother, herself being all of 5ft.+/- finally turned around and she reduced their size to…oh… maybe 3ft. tall.  Everyone within eyeshot turned away in the vain attempt to hide their laughter and smother their endorsement.

These two… need a mother. The rest of us…well… we’ll “turn away” and laugh our ass off.

If these two can’t straighten their act up, I say… call their mother.  Great thing about mothers… they have that “don’t EVEN try it thing”, perfected.

I have a question for Mr. Axelrod and Mr. Davis.  What would your mother say?
