For the past 3 plus years the number one ‘emboldener’ of our enemies has been Fox News and its relentless and gratuitious attacks on the President over any and every topic and for his every foreign policy decision. Fox, of course, has shifting enemies depending on the topic, but their number one day-to-day enemy hands down is President Obama.

I agree Gooch, on no other network would ‘talking about a larger point’ be automatically shut down. This is clearly a case where Kelly had an agenda to be covered and anything else-no matter how relevant, or important was going to get zero airtime on Fox.

Since the questions came partly from undecided voters, it would seem those voters are very concerned about women’s issues. Women’s issues are exactly the issue Republicans base most of their legislation on, so who really doesn’t want to talk about women’s issues? Just Fox, I guess.

Such a sad, extremist attitude against the idea of the common good. I can’t imagine what kind of capitalist wasteland of culture we would have if we only get to watch ‘Honey Boo Boo’ -type programming. There are so many shows from PBS that would not be found on commercial TV. Maybe then we’d get some educational Canadian programming?

Bill, if the AP is wrong for being biased, then so is Fox wrong. How can you manage to avoid this very simple comparison? A child could easily do it. Is there some kind of logical retardation in his brain?
I think one of the worst things Fox News has accomplished has been teaching their followers how to skirt reality-based thinking by making really bad arguments featuring faulty logic and strong emotional appeal. The Foxies would drag us all over a cliff of ideological lies. But I do think their stupidity will eventually come through to the general public.

According to Bill the poster person for government spending is someone who doesn’t work for the government, doesn’t attend a government school, doesn’t collect government benefits, who only wants the government to regulate her health insurance. That’s really a stretch and a half. I’m sure it doesn’t matter one bit to Bill’s audience if he makes any sense at all, but you’d think he’d take some pride in his arguments.

Just how hypocritical can religious people get before large numbers of people are brought up short by their blatant political campaigning and turn way from their corrupted message? I think churches should be allowed to engage in politics. It is probably the fastest way to cause their destruction. Maybe then we’d be left with churches which are in the business of charity and not in the hate business.

Every day millions of American women take their oral contraceptives-58% of them take these hormone pills for reasons other than birth control. But the vast misogynistic wing of the Republican party has labeled birth control pill takers “sluts” and those who would like their private insurer to cover these pills as lazy, socialists. (Sorry ladies, no there is no “free-market demand” for you and your birth control.
This isn’t the only issue for women, but it is very clear where Republicans stand on it, and I’m reminded of it every day when I take that pill.

I’m not surprised at the Fox angry reaction to this woman’s stand, which highlights differences in issues that Foxies usually like to combine: patriotism, freedom of religion and freedom of speech, but does so in a way which must confuse their pointy heads.

Bill knows to tone it down when he is outside of right wing world. But that just means he’s a good actor, not a good person. He is popular with other arrogant bullies and as$$holes because he makes their worst personality attributes seem mainstream and normal. I don’t think they even care much what he says so long as he says it with anger and remarkable self-righteousness.

Just take a look at the UK economy and compare it to ours. The austerity measures ushered in by the Conservatives after 2010 election have caused them to lose what economic gains they had under Labor. They are back in recession. While we steadily climb out out of trouble. The only and obvious answer is that the stimulus did work well.
The right wing seems to need to wear larger and larger blinders to block out the ugly truths that their policies and their political champions have done serious harm to the USA. This must be why a ‘journalist’ such as Hume can give credit to Bush for economic recovery, but no blame for causing the economic disaster in the first place. Those blinders are getting tight. Soon he’ll need a seeing-eye dog.

I don’t know if Mitt flip-flops because he is lying about his true beliefs to get votes, of if he just has no real belief in anything. All of the mistakes he’s made in his campaign lead me to believe that he isn’t quick enough on his feet to be a liar. I think those who follow a strict religion in which every detail of their lives have rules and regs, tend to get lost in the unscripted world outside of religion.

Wow! I dont want to know anything about this guys sex life. The only reason to I could imagine to mention it would be to encourage others to follow his lead. And yet Steve happily took the opportunity to bash those who don’t make the same choices he does. A tactic we’ve all grown quite accustomed to from listening to anyone with self esteem issues. It is a pathetically transparent attempt to make himself feel superior to others. I only mention this obvious observation in an attempt keep him from embarrassing himself with the same tactic again.

There was a time when conservatives by definition did not believe in getting involved in other countries problems nor changing their governments to suit our needs. Today’s knee-jerk-violent-response radicals are so far from conservative, it is a sad joke to call them that.

Completely lacking in any ability to analyze or reflect honestly on their own personalities and behaviors, right-wing crazies like Newt are left to project their own worst traits and behaviors onto others. By turning their analysis of others back to them we get to see the true man within, and in his own words: Newt “…has a desperate need to believe in something which is totally false.”
The sheer stupidity of reacting to terrorism with blanket violence is not apparent to the right wing because their reaction to almost everything is violence (or would be if they could get away with it!)

It boggles the mind that this event, in some ways similar to 9/11, can elicit such a different reaction from the right wing. Although, maybe we should have, no one was demanding Bush’s impeachment because people died on his watch and he was warned that it would happen. Despite our differences we got behind him and presented a unified USA. That’s what you do after an attack, at least if you are a decent, patriotic person.
I know Hannity looooves the USA, the only problem is the USA he loves is in an alternate history universe and bears no relation to this USA. I wish we could send him there.

Screaming at each other won’t improve anything. But it does make Bill-O and Fox lots and lots of money. If Fox were interested in news, truth or anything else useful they would not be registered as an Entertainment network instead of a News network.
