FR's take on the positive review of F/911 from Fox News

[Lucky Luciano]

I was really surprised by the positive review and I saw on FR what they thought of it all. If you are interested, then:

1. Surely you'll be banned from FR now...

I know they monitor DU pretty frequently.

[Walt Starr]

2. Well, you're not long for Freakerland

As soon as they see this thread, they'll ban ya and kill the thread. Better edit this quick or you will never be able to post there again.

[kevinhnc]

3. Hmmm...

Notice how quickly they turn on Fox/each other/anyone who disagrees with them?

I mean come on, Freepers turning on Fox News!

I wouldn't trust these guys as far as I can throw them.

[Catherine Vincent]

14. It reminds me of when their hero Drudge posted a couple of items

they didn't agree with and they were livid with him. They were ready to dump him. What a bunch of morans! LOL!

[doni_georgia]

33. They think Chris Hitchens is a liberal!!! ROFLMAO!

These people are so out of touch it is amazing.

[Worst Username Ever]

4. omg

they are totally turning inward on themselves!

"I feel like giving up tv news when they constantly force me to flip the channel due to the wall to wall coverage regarding Laci, Scott and Kobe. The media finally got over the Chandra Levy 24/7 coverage and now they have two cases to run into the ground."

Will wonders never cease!

My I feel the earth shaking under my feet right here in Dallas, TX!

[redqueen]

19. Go out and talk to these people

there's a lot we agree on. Seems shocking, I know, but you'd be surprised how focused on the basics one can get after almost losing your home. Lots and lots of day traders and formerly successful IT people were die-hard repubs or Perot voters, and are now firmly on the fence.

I talked to a woman last week who voted for Bush and said she wouldn't do it again. I'm about *thisclose* to getting her to vote Kerry. :D

[funkybutt]

6. someone had welcomed "another DUer to the FR"

HAHAHA

[Catherine Vincent]

7. They are pathetic...

"If even Fox is now lapping up Moore's swill, what hope is there? And coming soon, the Bubba bookfest, which will exceed all previous levels of media madness. We might even be pining for some more Abu Ghraib bombshells just to relieve the pain of 24/7 Clinton saturation. I tell you, there is no hope."--10 posted on 06/15/2004 2:08:55 AM PDT by omniscient

8. Look at this quote:

"Perhaps FNC is following the pattern that has been long established by the powerful - the longer one is in power and the more power one wields, the more leftward one turns."

I guess that explains the Bushies, the RW Congressmen, the CEO's.....

[lanparty]

20. Three years ago ...

... they wouldn't let Clinton go. It was Clinton EVERYTHING.

Now they see their man simply cannot measure up to Clinton. All the "Clinton scandals" have been revealed to be trumped up lies. And they don't want to THEIR MAN DUBAYA to be compared to Clinton. He doesn't measure up!!!!!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

31. Incredible thought processes they wield

incredible.

[JuniorPlankton]

9. Nice!

Fox is "fair and balanced" :)
What a bunch of idiots!

[yankeedem]

10. I agree with this freeper

To: beaversmom
Hannity's mental ability if converted to electricity couldn't toast bread. He's a complete parrot. Its a good thing he's good looking, because that's what carries him, not intelligence or independent thought.


I've got to give this wingnut props, that's pretty funny. I don't find him particularly good looking, however.

[ropi]

15. GOOD LOOKING?

Hannity good looking? EWWW, those little beady eyes.... maybe cute for a weasel...

[Justice]

29. Good Looking?

He is about 5 pounds away from pudgy.

I find him highly unattractive - mostly because he can't say anything without holding his hands out in a weak karate chop.

11. Yo, Lucky! Don't forget my favorite mobster, Crazy Joey Gallo!

30. I'll use that one if Carlo ever kicks the bucket over there!

So far I have used:

Meyer Lansky
Dutch Schultz
Bugs Moran
Bugsy Siegall
Luciano the Lucky
The Dapper Don
The Dapper Don II

and last, but not least:

Lucifer Himself :evilgrin:

[Kid_A]

12. One guys sig says No Gays=No AIDS

and No Arabs=No Terror

He must have been drunk when that white guy blew up a building in Oklahoma City, and when that straight kid Ryan White died of AIDS...

[ET Awful]

18. Wonder where he was when all those IRA attacks were going on. . .

Of course there are a few cases of Israeli terrorism as well beginning about 5 or 6 decades ago, a hotel bombing or two, along with a school bombing attempt if I'm not mistaken.

Yup, only Arabs are terrorists, especially those Arabs from Northern Ireland.

[NewJeffCT]

34. How about Lesbians?

I remember when AIDS first came on the scene in the 80s, lesbians had the lowest incidence of AIDS among gays & straights, males & females. So, my comeback to religious types that said that AIDS was god's punishment for gay sex was that it must mean that lesbians were god's chosen, as they had the lowest incidence of AIDs.

(PS, I'm a straight male)

13. This is definitely ironic...

"And coming soon, the Bubba bookfest, which will exceed all previous levels of media madness. We might even be pining for some more Abu Ghraib bombshells just to relieve the pain of 24/7 Clinton saturation."

Careful what you wish for.

[Bake]

16. Now this is rich:

"TV's the worst way to get news anyway. I much prefer FR and talk radio. That's why I haven't plugged our TV back in since cleaning behind it last week. If it was up to me, I'd keep it like that for a long time.

Gets his NEWS from FR and talk radio. In other words, whatever Limpballs, Savage, Liddy etc. tell him is news!

[meegbear]

17. ZOT!

[Career Prole]

21. Ah, so that's how it starts...

"To: beaversmom
Once our tv broke when I was a kid, mom never got a new one. Now that I think about it, we had a lot of fun without the tv. We actually talked to each other and had fun doing other things."

Yeah! Uncle Daddy says there warn't no teevees when he was a young'un and famblies grew much closer! Kids nowadays hardly even talk to their sisters!

[Lorien]

23. Er, I didn't have a T.V. for most of my childhood either

and I also think we were better off without it. Does that make me a hillbilly Freeper?

[Career Prole]

24. Joke, Jen6...just a joke...

No offense meant. I live in a trailer. If I got offended every time I heard...oh, never mind. I'm sorry I said it. :(

[damnraddem]

22. Ha ha ha!

They forgot to freep the review.

[lanparty]

25. Wow ....

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,122678,00.html

One would think that they are trying to marginalize the "controversy" to minimize exposure. The author apparantly panned "Bowling for Columbine". I cannot find a link.

But that was the right wing script for "Bowling For Columbine". I actually read a lot of reviews before I saw the film. And I thought the reviews were trumped up nonsense from a film that never really targeted the gun industry or blamed ANYTHING for the Columbine Massacre.

Rather, "Bowling For Columbine" was an indictment on the culture of fear in America. It was visibly contrasted vs that of Canada where people leave their front doors unlocked and pot is "no big deal".

So I think I think the wing-nuts have finally wised up and realized that protesting a movie only PROMOTES it!!!!!! Controversy gets people to buy tickets. So they are going to make it out to be a "serious, intellectual" film. In other words, they're trying to imply that it's BORING!!!!! And people don't go to theatres to be bored!!!!!

[Lucky Luciano]

26. Maybe, but in that case they could do no review at all

instead of the reverse psychology review.

[saracat]

27. Odd that they wouldn't

have a problem with a network 100% conservative but froth at the idea of a liberal network, Yet they want real news. I don't think news should have a point of view.

[johnfunk]

28. BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA...

The poor, confused FReepers are probably ordering blood pressure meds from their friendly overseas online pharmacy, now that they've learned that Roger Ailes if a F$%#ING COMMIE PINKO TRAITOR!

[psychopomp]

32. Who gives a sh`t what they think

Had to be said.

[Texican]

35. Drive to Ban 911F

Hope we get to see it. Here in Texas it may not get much showing, especially with this group trying to ban it.


"A conservative organization called Move America Forward, formed in May to rally support for U.S. troops and the war on terror, has asked the public to call and e-mail executives at theater chains scheduled to show the film, according to Variety.com.

"Michael Moore has the right to free speech," said MAF Chairman Howard Kaloogian, according to Variety. "But so do millions of Americans who find his anti-military propaganda and attacks on our troops offensive."
