Read my past comments and it would be hard to believe I voted Republican for many years. I might still be one except for the idiotic extremism shown by people like O’Reilly and the rest of today’s conservatives. Simpletons indeed.

I’ve seen nothing but the headline at this point, but have to say I agree with its premise. If there are no convictions, of course there will be an ugly backlash, just as Fuhrman apparently predicts. Why wouldn’t… or shouldn’t… there be? (Now I’ll read the rest of the story.)

I think, Lakeview Greg, that Fiddler may have been trying to remind young African Americans that they should be grateful to white society for the opportunity to advance in the wonderful US of A, and not listen to the hypocrisy spewed forth by one who has trampled all over that same opportunity. I asked my maid, as well as my gardener, butler, and chauffeur for their opinions. Each and every one of them answered the same way: “Yes sir, Mr. Pomfret, You sure are right. Thank you, sir.”

If, God forbid, the shooters had made it past the single cop at the door, there would have been a massive shoot-out inside. Who knows how many would have perished, some from friendly fire, as many of those in attendance were undoubtedly carrying. But, in the end, it still would have been Obama’s fault.

I tried to listen to this segment yesterday, but after almost driving off the road while screaming as they chastised Maddow (for saying cops shouldn’t be throwing objects back at protesters), I switched back to real news.

Perino: “Could you be more specific?”
Translation: Both of them are dumb. Which one are you asking about?

Sometimes I read your headlines in disbelief, hoping they’re tabloid-style attention grabbers. Then, when I watch the attached clips, their accuracy is verified, and my revulsion for Fox is deepened. This one continues the tradition.

Steve St. John and marco: When Bernie was the wildly popular mayor of Burlington VT, many of his detractors lived in a section of the city where they had recently purchased modest tract homes utilizing subsidized financing. So proud were they to be moving on up in their pursuit of that elusive first million dollars, they didn’t hesitate to bite the hand that fed them.

Thank you, marco, for that clear explanation. My reaction, last night, was to wonder why these poor outraged and disrespected rich kids didn’t just get the same advantage for themselves by GOING BACK TO THEIR HOME STATES. But, you explained it all much more clearly than I would have.

Un-eff-ing Believeable, but it’s working, as the easily manipulated Fox zombie viewers are reciting: “Wait until the whole story comes out. That Black Man was running away for a reason. They’ll find out what he was running from and this will all make sense.”

Although Ellen is correct to point out that Fox did have straightforward coverage of the story on Wednesday, they seemed reluctant to join other news outlets in doing so. When the story first exploded late Tuesday afternoon, I looked on every website I could think of. All the mainstream ones had it as their lead story, including a link to the video. The FoxNews site, however, had the story buried deeply, without the video, and with the original attorney’s defense of his actions quoted. Later that evening, they did attach an abridged video from one of their affiliate stations. It took a full day before they realized this one is indefensible. Good thing The Nation is there to help them out.
