1. It's Faux Noise
Let them play.

Britt Hume said the real tragedy in Walter Reed was the political aspect. They don't have a clue.

5. Because they are the propaganda machine.

We must know what we are up against. 2008 isn't sewn up yet. If we know what they are spewing they can't blindside us again. Hopefully.

9. I see your point...
But we all know what they are already and that everything they spew is garbage, so I don't see the point in repeating it further.

Just mho, of course.

;)

7. Ditto, it's like asking a mentally challenged kid to know their multiplication table.
To expect otherwise is insane. That's what Faux does. There is absolutely no sense what-so-ever to expect otherwise. Therefore, to me anyway, there is absolutely no sense in expecting them to do otherwise, and therefor absolutely so sense to watch the damn channel to begin with.

Unless that is if you are a masochist or a Repuke.

8. Hillary and Obama in Selma Alabama
I think Fox News took the Hillary and Obama visit to Selma, Alabama out of context. Shawn Hannity stated on his radio show that Hillary was pandering to blacks for votes in Selma, by trying to talk black (whatever the definition of talking black is). Hannity failed to mention the fact that Hillary was quoting something an abolisionists had written. And, Fox news really has some nerve-especially when they have been politically petting on Rudy Giuliani 24/7, even after Giuliani's son dissed on him for golf. I think these presidential elections are going to be real exciting-something that hasn't happened in the presidential elections for quit some time. And, as an African American, I don't think Hillary was pandering to us at all. Hillary was coming to the African American communities and supporting African American functions, creating positive change, and putting in her two cents worth of speaches long before she decided to run for president. And, the majority of us African Americans do know Hillary Clinton, and have long ago accepted her as part of the African American family. However, I've read a lot about Barack Obama, and he really does give me the chills. This is a great man, and he could very well be president this time around, or the next time around. However, I haven't decided which one I am going to give my vote to, because Hillary is politically brilliant, and could also very easily be president of the United States, too. So, I'm reading about both Obama and Hillary, and I will determine sometime between now and 2008 which one I will support. However, regardless of which one wins the democratic nomination, I just hope the other one will get to be their running mate for Vice-president-by doing this, it's a win, win situation for both, anyway.

10. It worked, I heard a radio station this AM poking jabs at the way they talked
This is a radio show that usually is very liberal but they were giving hell to the speeches in Alabama on the radio this morning.
