@d d; I wonder if he wouldn’t do better if he did more of his own thinking. All those screeching voices would scramble anybody’s brains.

I, too, watched today’s F&F for a couple of hours. The first hour started rather well, with Negroponte who remained un-committed despite the heavily leading questions that the trio were reading off from their notes. He wanted more facts before saying more). The next four guests were unanimous in bashing President Obama’s measured reaction. All four were in favour of immediate lynch-mob action against just about anybody all over the place (ratttatttatttat!) The second hour morphed into a mad rush towards blathering, bloviating insanity and I gave up.

I doubt that Ambassador Stevens would have approved such gorilla alpha male reactions. He was a true diplomat and he was doing everything he could to help the Libyan people nurture their infant democracy.

The war drums they are a-beating and FNC has the biggest drums of all.

I noticed the official spin from Fox and the right is the evil liberal media is at fault for questioning poor wittle Mitt. But according to factcheck.org it’s not the media.

With regards to having Romney’s back and beating up on Obama over the Embassy incidents, all I can say is that Romney is damn lucky he’s got FOX “news” in his corner (especially after all the flak he caught yesterday from those in his own GOP party). No worries, Mittens, F&F is on it the case for you this morning.

OMG, today’s show was full of spin, bias and over-the-top rhetoric (even more so than usual). From bashing the “mainstream” media outlets for all wanting to ask Romney the obvious question yesterday (sorry but it’s completely laughable to hear the talking heads at FOX “news” denouncing other media outlets for coordinating the message/questions – talk about pot, kettle, black!) to the uber Obama haters such as Alan West, Malkin and Coulter, F&F was all over it.

Thanks truman. I wonder how many actually served after their two-year stint as missionaries.

While he was a student at Stanford in 1966, Mitt did participate in demonstrations in favor of the Vietnam War draft…(With pictures)

@bemused. Mormons per se were not exempt from the draft during Vietnam. Only Mormons serving on a mission were eligible to receive a draft deferment. MagicUnderwear Mitt applied for and received a missionary deferment for his years in France. There was a lot of controversy during that time about excessive number of missionary deferments that Mormons received.

What makes MagicUnderwear Mitt such a hypocrite was his professed support for the Vietnam War while doing everything to avoid military service.

Thought-provoking: A deliberately blasphemous video called “The Innocence of Muslims” was posted on Youtube to coincide with a planned terrorist attack. That could happen only if one of the two sides knew about the other side’s intentions.

The drums of war they are a-beating on Studio B. Even Juan Williams has had more backbone than Shep lately. I’m deeply disappointed ‘cause Shep’s so cute (albeit just a tad too thin).

Watching a rerun of Studio B and my respect for Shepherd Smith is taking a beating.

That’s because of the total disconnect between the facts and the comments: Shepherd is reporting the former as a journalist should but then (has to) morph to interpretations that clearly stem from another source.

Media matters as quoted by Ellen:

“… was released before it was known that Americans had been killed in those attacks.”

Riiiiiight. I get it: non-american deaths don’t matter.

And these are the same people who want to be loved by others and who are wont to whine that this is not the case.

I’ve lived abroad for almost 50 years now and can affirm that the rabid, roaring, ranting sub-species is usually recognised as an aberration, at best a curiosity that should be viewable in a controlled environment (e.g. a zoo).

@truman
Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t Mormons exempted from the draft on religious grounds?
If that was the case, how can the chest-beating and roaring RWingers even think of electing a Mormon?

On a more trivial note: While watching his acceptance speech I captured a mental image that I simply can’t wipe off my screen: he’s staring at the camera as he waits for the applause to kick in and my immediate reaction was “he can’t even do a scared deer properly”. Unfelt apologies to the trolls.

I heard someone on some progressive radio show say that he believed that Mitt Romney was a social psychopath that was incapable of functioning normally in society. I initially thought that to be a harsh diagnosis, but the more I see of this guy, the more I have to suspect that something is just not right with him. His money has allowed him to hide his problems to this point, but now there are just too many mistakes and outright lies for anyone to take him as a serious candidate. He makes GWB look like an empath.

Remember all of the unforced errors that MagicUnderwear MItt made on his foreign nation vacation this year? Let’s face it. MagicUnderwear Mitt can’t order takeout from a Chinese restaurant without starting an international incident.

While he likes to play a tough guy warmonger, MagicUnderwear Mitt sat out the Vietnam War. While young men and women his age were fighting and dying, MagicUnderwear MItt was practicing his French language skills in Paris. None of his five sons have ever served even one day in the military.

A President MagicUnderwear (perish the thought) would almost certainly start a war with Iran in order to prove his manhood.

Zippety-doo-da, Zippety doo-dee, my oh my, what a wonderful day … (clicks heels, taps a few taps).
I know it’s unladylike, but I just can’t help myself. Doors has the right word: a meltdown in the making as the foxies scramble furiously for relevance. (Oh dear, I’ve pulled a patel).

Ron Paul must be doing some very serious thinking, right now.

Is it any wonder why we’ve been witnessing the meltdown with conservative commentators in the past week? Eventually you would think they would just say I gave up trying to defend this idiot.
