Its sad to think that in four short years a Republican nominee has gone from making an minimal effort to win over AA voters (McCain), to actively antagonizing them to win over the hard core elements on the other side. I don’t think Romney himself is a hard-core nut case, but if you have to make enemies of your opponents, then you have lost sight of what politics is all about and have no business running for office.

Well I am proud of America today. I thought we weren’t paying attention! But if 79% are savvy enough to realize that corporate media is no longer providing the information we need and expect, then there is hope for us! Realizing there is a problem is part of the solution.

LOL the scrawl at the bottom said “The number of Americans who disapprove of Obama’s job performance dropped 3 points.” A double negative which really means the number who approve rose 3 points! Naked propaganda is, at its core, idiocy.

For someone making 300K per year, the 3% raise on income above 250K would result in an extra $1,500 in taxes per year—that’s all. Most small businesses don’t make over 250K anyway.

If these people cared about small business they would be championing Obamacare which will result in bigger tax savings for small business, (but none for big business) So their ‘concern’ for the little guy is a load of b.s.

Here’s what I get out of your interpretation, Gretchen: We can only say nice things about the very rich, because saying anything nice about the non-rich will make the rich feel jealous of the love other people are getting. So not only do the rich want all the money, they want all the love too. nice

Look at it his way Bill, taxing your unearned income at the same rate as your earned income would allow the employment of more police, firemen, teachers and soldiers, or to pay down some of the debt we incurred by lowering those tax rates in the first place.

a 13 yo speaker a CPAC? Beckel got it right. That’s about their level. But really how is this important enough to talk about on a network program? What a bunch of nothing.

Is Gutfeld saying if you are a part of the middle class you are not successful? Ouch. How about growing up poor, putting yourself through college and making a good life? Too bad Fox only has one criteria for success—large off-shore bank accounts. Thankfully most Americans are not so delusional as to think they are just a few short months or years from being ultra-rich. Fox has nothing to offer but delusions.

I’m disappointed the history text didn’t include any mention of the Iroquois Confederacy. A clear inspiration for the 13 colonies and the Articles of Confederation.

This attempt to link US law, and democracy and the 10 commandments is sadly pathetic. There is no democracy in the 10 commandments, only commands for obedience. The 10 commandments have more in common with Sharia Law, than current US laws. So of course they’d have to lie in order to get the job done.

Waving shiny things in front of it’s audience, Fox fear-mongers about madrassas, and the USA continues to economically circle the drain in order to serve the gluttonous desires of corporations.

Oh great another Okeefe-type sting where the ‘journalist’ invents an idiotic scheme to prove their own bias. I wonder if Stossel could dress up like a doctor, go to a hospital and see how many people let him do their surgeries. Then he can tell us how bad healthcare is under Obamacare.

This is a heat wave amplified by a warming climate, so it will last longer and be hotter and causing normal drought to be prolonged. Tropical storms and hurricanes are normal occurrences amplified in number and power by a warming climate. Tornados are normal occurrences amplified in range, number and power by a warming climate. These people will not stop denying until it is way too late for anything except running away screaming.

Wallace’s question is funny because, of course, no Republican wants everyone to have health insurance! That might mean there would be less medical care for those who already have it.

Republicans, if they were honest, would tell you: There isn’t enough of anything to go around, so we need to have a group of ‘sacrificials’ so that the rest of us can have enough. The designated group of ‘sacrificias’ is the working poor. The people who work for minimum wage at Walmart and get no health insurance so the rest of us can buy really inexpensive food and gas and also get their share of healthcare.

There is so much that the right doesn’t get journalism, logical arguments… Are they saying he wouldn’t be rich if he paid everyone good salary? But where is the proof that Stewart doesn’t pay his people well? No proof, no logic, just stupid, envious opinion that I can hear at any coffee shop across the country.

The ACA is either good for you or probably neutral in most cases. It is good for small businesses which get tax breaks for having insurance or are exempt from the bill. Iit is good for large employers whose competitors will have to offer the same benefits to prospective employees equalizing the playing field. . It is good or neutral for insurance compies by increasing their customer base to make up for lowered profit margins. it is good for the already insured by spreading risk over a larger pool. It is good for the uninsured and uninsurable who now will have options and coverage. It is good for taxpayers who have been footing the entire bill for the uninsured at emergency rooms across the country. The only party this bill is not good for is the Republicans who could have or should
have passed this bill 20 years ago, and now hate it because when people stop listening to the idiots on fox they will find out this bill is good for most Americans.

It’s like the morning after my vacation, when I stepped on the scale and noted I’d gained another 5 pounds. At first it seemed terrible, but then I realized that now more than ever I was determined to lose weight. To celebrate my resolve I ate two donuts for breakfast

Someone get Jan Brewer on the air to explain how this is a win for the right!

I do think the court just saved the right from itself. If the ACA was shot down we’d be on the road to single payer in a few more difficult and painful years featuring the suffering of millions of uninsured Americans. The court did the right thing this time. I’m trying hard not to ask why.

All this really boils down to is scaring people into believing someone else is going to be getting medical care in their place.

After all the hype about Fast and Furious, excellently captured by Stewart, the right wing really wants what was advertised—a big scandal. But unfortunately, like any tease, Fox News can not deliver this from a rather sad case of government incompetence. Like all of its outrage, the right must to settle on minor details-like ‘secret documents’ rather than on any intentional lawbreaking.

Why the audience never sees that Fox is setting them up for disappointment and impotent rage, is a sad commentary on how easy it is to manipulate them. Its why Fox must play the game like they are a bunch of idiots too—lest their audience realize that the sneaky Fox is manipulating and abusing them like a psychotic puppet master.

Heather’s career is safe, assuming she continues to find employment within the right-wing media market. The mainstream media would hopefully be another matter.
