Back                                                   The Idiots are still at it:

I have to get this off my chest: People ask me what I have against Fox News. I have to tell them that any, so called , news organization who puts on "as experts." people like:

Oliver North. (A man who was convicted of lying to Congress.);

Karl Rove, Probably the dirtiest political consultant in America. Read his bio;

Dick Morris who after being forced to resign from the Clinton/Gore campaign due to his involvement with a prostitute, turned on the Clintons:

G. Gordon Liddy:  Who served 4 1/2 years in prison for his role in the break in & cover up of the Democratic National Committee headquarters during the Watergate scandal.

Liz Trotta who once, on Fox News, made a comment saying that "it would be nice if Obama were assassinated.";

Ann Coulter probably the most hateful person I've ever listened to. She doesn't let the truth get in the way of her arguments.

Newt Gingrich who cheated on two of his wives, one while complaining about Bill Clinton's affair with Monica.

Mike Huckabee who falsely claimed "not one drop of oil was spilled" during Hurricane Katrina, when in fact (According to the Dept. of Energy.) 299 Pipelines were damaged, and 17,652 barrels of petroleum products were spilled from platforms, rigs and pipelines.) Can be nothing but a right wing propaganda machine. There will probably be more coming.

Michelle Malkin of whom Geraldo Rivera once said "Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful commentator I've ever met in my life, She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people. It’s good she’s in D.C. and I’m in NY. I’d spit on her if I saw her";

Jerome Corsi:  A man who is noted for his false statements. People he uses his own statements to verify information in his book. example: George Bush lied to Condi Rice. (see appendix 23) 23 - From "Bush the liar. pg 23 by Jerome Corsi -  Bush lied when talking to Rice.  (That was only an imaginary example.)

Bill Kristol:  Considered to be the father of neo-conservatism. A man who proudly brags that he help lead us into the war in Iraq. (Talk about "Fair and Balanced".) PS. He is another Chicken Hawk, who did not serve in the military.

Patrick Caddel:  Who left the Democratic Party after an acrimonious lawsuit with a Democratic consulting firm. (Thanks to Wikipedia) Let me get this straight. The man has a grudge against the democratic party and FOX news uses him as a pundit for the democratic party?????

Cal Thomas:  A male Ann Coulter and another neo-con who, along with Bill Kristol, led the effort to advance the administration's reasoning for attacking Iraq. Fox news pushes him off as "Fair & Balanced?".

Rudy Giuliana: He talks like he's an expert in national security yet he put his Office of Emergency Management headquarters on the 23rd. floor of  7 World Trade Center, after the World Trade Center was attacked in 1993. (Read Paragraph {Preparedness}). He also recommended Bernard Kerik to head the Department of Homeland Security but the Bush administration got wind of his political/legal troubles before he was appointed. Talk about a man who only has a speech.

Dennis Miller:

Mary Katharine Ham:

As for the hosts themselves, you can see below: As for Owner Rupert Murdoch who admittedly clamed he pushed for the war in Iraq, I'd trust him as far as I could throw him. Roger Ailes who is the president of the Fox News Channel, has no reason to mislead the public. That is unless you consider that he was the media consultant for Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, & George H. W Bush as well as Rudy Giuliani's first mayoral campaign. Talk about the fox watching the hen house. Now you tell me why I'd believe anything they say.

Sean Hannity: People hear is a man who calls Joe Biden arrogant and says he is angry. The only times I've ever seen Joe Biden angry was during hearings when the person he was questioning either tried to mislead the committee of became evasive. I have seen Sean angry when someone disagrees with him on his show. I've seen him, rudely, interrupt them of completely cut them off. Talk about being two faced... Oh, though he talks about patriotism he never served in the military.

Bill O'Reilly:  Fair & Balanced?  Don't make me laugh.  No Military record

More coming:

Lies, Misstatements and out of Context Quotes:

Glenn Beck: I have recently heard him talking about liberal fascism. People get out a dictionary or look up fascism on line. I don't know about your dictionary but the one I looked it up in (The Oxford) had This:

Fascism: Extreme totalitarian right-wing nationalist movement or philosophy, as instituted in Italy (1922 - 1943)   Now how does right wing equate with liberal.

Guns on campus:  I don't know the name of the guest but I believe it was also on the Glenn Beck show. Shortly after a student shot several other students during a lecture then turned the gun on himself. Either O'Reilly or Beck did a show on the merits of allowing students with carry permits to carry concealed weapons on campus.

They were saying that if students were armed they could have stopped the carnage by killing the shooter before he had a chance to kill the seven students that he did.

The shooting happened in a crowded auditorium. People lot's take a realistic look at what could have happened.

First, hitting a target with a hand gun isn't the easiest thing in the best of conditions let alone when your trying to hit one in a hurry, as you would be in a shoot out. When your at a pistol range you have a back drop that is secure, in the auditorium if you miss, you'll likely hit an innocent bystander. let's take a look at what could happen & most likely would.

Your in a auditorium and from the back you hear a shot ring out. You duck down between the seats and grab your gun from under your jacket, or wherever you have it and get up to get a shot. Meanwhile another student has done the same and as he or she fires at the shooter you see their gun go off and shoot at him or her. Now maybe as your shooting, she ducks, or moves and you bullet hits the person next to or behind her.

What happens if several other students are also firing and just like you they aren't exactly positive where the first shot came from. Do you really want "The gunfight at the O.K. Corral" to take place in a crowded auditorium?

FOX NEWS:     How come when Barack Obama gets endorsed by the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. (Without asking for or knowing the endorsement was coming) and denounces & rejects it during a televised debate he still catches hell from Fox News. Yet when John McCain stands on stage with Televangelist John Hagee accepting his endorsement, they never mention it. People both of those self righteous bigots are the same, yet only one of the candidates rejected their endorsement. Shouldn't Fox News be harping on McCain?

Update: John Hagee was a guest on the Glenn Beck Show where Glenn made a big fuss over him. People this is a man who calls the Catholic Church - the great whore, says that God caused hurricane Katrina to punish the gays in New Orleans. He definitely doesn't rate praise.

Update:  John McCain, yesterday, after pressure from media reports said that he stood for very little of what John Hagee preached. I guess public opinion matters when your running for president.

Sean Hannity on the Hannity & Colmes show on 7/07/08 was again complaining about Obama and Farrakhan and also about Obama's wife's statement about being "Proud of America for the first time in her adult life."

First many Americans (Though proud of our country.) haven't been proud of some of the things she's done recently. i.e. Water boarding, The war in Iraq, Leaders lying to the public. The excess secrecy, The failure of the reconstruction of New Orleans, Jack Abramoff and the politicians he involved in corruption.

Secondly He never mentioned John Hagee. I guess, even though McCain denounced him, Hannity agrees with Hagees ideas.

2/14/08: He did it again: John McCain accepted the support of the Reverend Rob Parsley. People how many extreme right wing radical evangelists can this country survive??? And still nothing from Hennity or Beck.

3/08/08:  I can't figure out if Sean Hennity is a total idiot or just a hypocrite. On his show (Hennity's America) of Fox News he again started up on Obama and his connections with his church, his connection with an ex leader of the "Weather Underground" who is now a free man. People here is a man (Hennity) Who is very good friends with Newt Gingridge (Who was having an affair with a woman twenty years younger them himself while at the same time yelling about Bill Clinton) and Oliver North (Convicted of lying to congress in the Iran/Contra affair). It seems he sold arms to Iran and diverted the money to the Contras in their war in Nicaragua. He also never mentioned John McCain and Hagee.

Later on in the show he was talking about how the Democrats were divided. Saying that Obama supporters would be disappointed if Clinton won and vise versa. Here's a man who early, hell even later on, in the Republican primaries said that if McCain won he might be forced to vote for a Democrat. He complained how McCain was a liberal.   People doesn't this man have a mirror.

7/06/08:  Hennity stated that there were no oil spills at all in the Gulf of Mexico during Hurricane Katrina. After less then a minute I found this article (With confirming links)   .  Now either FOX News doesn't do its' homework, or it purposely lies & misleads. We all know that they are a propaganda machine for the Republican party & I expect them to slant the news to the right but I expect them to at least, tell the truth.

7/21/08:  "Four score and seven years ago." This one by Glenn Beck was just stupid. He was hosting Larry King Live and made a statement (Trying to downplay Barrack Obama's speaking ability.) that Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln were very poor speakers but great presidents. Didn't he ever hear of the Lincoln/Douglas debates or the Gettysburg Address? How about "A house divided against itself, cannot stand."? I don't know about Jefferson but I know that Lincoln is considered one of the great speakers in history. Actually Jefferson wasn't to bad either.

7/28/08:  I'm not going to say call Bull O'Reilly a liar but at the same time his statement was a little hard to believe. He complained to Karl Rove that N.B.C. & C.B.S were reporting that Scott McKellen had written about FOX News getting talking points from the White House. He emphatically deigned ever getting them and called for a apology from Scott. Now Scott has since giving him that apology and said that though he knew that Fox was getting talking points, he couldn't say that any went to O'Reilly and maybe they didn't but I seem to remember thinking, many times, that all of Fox news were getting the same messages as they all brought up the same subject in almost the same words and phrases over and over again. Almost every show would give the same information in the same way.

I also remember when the White House had all the Right Wing radio talk show hosts over for lunch (Or was it dinner?) Anyway I guess I'll just have to wait for the next "whistleblower" to find out for sure. If I do then I'll yell it really loud "LIAR!"

7/29/08:  I have mentioned before, how easy it is change the perception of what a person says by taking it out of context. Hennity while talking to Newt Gingrich made a statement that Obama had called himself  "A citizen of the world." He was trying to give the impression that Obama was trying to impress the Germans that he would lead by listening to the world instead of the U.S. interests. People what he said was: "Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen – a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world." I'd like to remind Hennity that his favorite president (Ronald Reagan) also called himself a citizen of the world.

7/30/08: Chris Edwards of the KATO Institute (A right wing think tank) made a statement on C-Span that I totally disagree with. He said that our tax code was driving business to places like Viet Nam, Indonesia and India. People I've been to Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Thailand. Singapore isn't taking our jobs (The people make a decent wage) but Thailand & Indonesia are. It's not the taxes that are stealing our jobs, it's the wages. When you can hire an employee for $3 or $4. a day (See Paragraph 4) and don't have to worry about paying overtime or environmental laws, etc. taxes are the last thing you think about. I don't know about you but I'm not sure I want to live in a house that has a out house with a seat over a creek instead of a commode, where your light comes from lanterns, your TV is in the town square where everybody meets at night to swat mosquitoes and watch the same station and extended families live together in family compounds. Where only the well off have cars & most families ride to temple (Church) on the back of a small motor cycle. (I've seen three kids and both parents on one small Honda, all dressed up is their best clothes, going to a celebration). People, Bali is a lovely place to visit and even retire too, but I wouldn't want to have to earn a living there.

8/05/08: Newt Gingrich, on C-Span made a statement that I believe is misleading. He was talking about the 68 million acres the oil companies already hold leases on. He said it took hundreds of dry wells in order to get one that hits oil. He mentioned the North Sea Oil Fields and how many holes they drilled before they were producing oil. People that was in the 1960s with the first rig producing oil in 1971, long before we started to search for oil using geophysics. Today it is possible to locate oil by using seismology and other techniques. Believe me when I tell you that "Big Oil" Knows how much oil is under their leases & also believe me when I tell you that they wouldn't be paying or those leases if they were useless. Newt was just pushing the republican agenda but he was misleading the audience. People before you listen to a liar (His cheating on his wife while bitching about Clinton doing the same thing.) check out their facts.

8/06/08:  Hennity has been trying to make a joke out of Obama's statement that if all Americans kept their tires filled to the recommended capacity we could save the amount of oil gained by new offshore drilling. He also insinuated that, that was the extent of Obama's energy plan. The funny thing is that Charlie Crist (R) Governor of Florida) & Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) Governor of California, along with the U.S. Department of Energy & NASCAR  all said the same thing. Now about Obama's energy plan, maybe it would be a good idea if Hennity would do a little research before speaking. McCain has voted exclusively in favor of big oil. He voted against better cafe standards, against stopping tax incentives for big oil (Even while they are making record profits and using the incentives only to buy back their own stock.) Against incentives for new research and development on alternative energy. Against closing the Enron loophole that allows investors to run up the price of oil by buying futures, against "Use it or loose it." on leases already held by the oil industry. All this during the same time that Obama has sponsored six bills on energy. I only wish Hennity would tell his audience the truth (at least once in awhile). See my article on energy.

8/06/08: Hennity (God it seems like this fool is on a lot.) made a statement, to John Kasich, that the price of oil had come down because the President had lifted the ban on off shore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico & in ANWAR. Kasick, naturally, agreed. People why would the Presidents action cause prices to come down when the Congress & Senate both have to also lift the ban? (and there is little chance of that, at least anytime soon.) Remember the congress just recently took a vote to make speculators take possession of oil brought on the futures market, something they couldn't possibly do. The price of oil in the market came down and oil prices on the world market followed. Just how much lower would it have come down if the bill had passed? Do these guys really believe we are stupid? Remember if we got all the oil reserves out of the ground, we only have about 3% of the oil reserves in the world and even then the Oil Cartels would probably produce less, on order to keep the price high. By the way 3% of $4.00 is only $0.12.

8/07/08: Hennity again? This time he was calling a flip flop on Obama because Obama said he would be willing to allow some new off shore drilling in order to move a bill through Congress that would aid in research and development of new forms of energy. This even though Obama still says that he doesn't feel that the drilling would do very much to bring down the price of energy. Is a flip flop in order to reach a compromise that is needed in order to reach a desired out come really a flip flop or is it just good leadership?

Remember John McCain also flip flopped on the issue. He was against it and now supports it fully. The difference is that he still doesn't support incentives for research & development. He even said it would only (The drilling) be a physiological boost and now a real reduction in prices. This was said shortly before getting over $700,000 in campaign donations from the oil industry. A flip flop for money is a flip flop.

8/08/08: Most of the cable news organizations were talking about John Edwards affair. Now I don't dispute the fact that what he did was reprehensible but did it deserve a full hour? That's what Hennity & Combs gave it. During the hour he found every way possible to degrade Edwards the main stream media and even to some small extent, his wife. What I didn't hear mentioned was that McCain was cheating on his first wife and lying about it shortly before he married his new wife, or that Rudy Giuliani announced to the media that he was divorcing his wife while she was laying in a hospital bed, totally unaware that anything was wrong with their marriage. (He was also cheating).

He also blamed the main stream media for not going after the story. People the main stream media did go after Clinton, and aren't bringing up McCain & Giuliani's affairs. They aren't even bringing up all the stupid things that McCain says on the trail. i.e. "The Iraq and Pakistan border"? "Iran is training Al-Qu'ida fighters then sending them back into Iraq." When he meant Iraqi insergents. (Al-Quida are Sunni's and Iran are Shias and they hate each other.) and his many other slip ups. I'd say the main stream media is being fair and if they aren't spouting your or Fox's talking points it may just be that they are the ones who are telling you the truth. I'm just saying with the internet it is easy to look up the actual facts. Try it, it's fun!

8/09/08: Fred Barnes of the Beltway Boys was still parroting the Republican talking point. "Drill here, drill now!" even though by now he should have realized that the only people who would gain by that would be the oil companies. First if we did get our oil on the market OPEC would only have to pump less to maintain the high prices. Second, there is absolutely no evidence that the companies would actually drill. Remember, as was said on Fox News two days ago, "the oil companies already have capped wells off the California coast". Wait a minute! Capped wells off of California"?

8/12/08: On Hennity & Combs, Sean Hennity asked a guest how the American people could trust John Edwards to be president if he couldn't even live up to his marriage vows. He must have forgotten that John McCain also broke his marriage vows, but Alan Combs hadn't and quickly brought it up, asking Hennity "If we can't trust Edwards then how can we trust McCain, who did the same thing?" One of their guests along with Hennity made a statement "Elizabeth Edwards has cancer, how could a man treat his wife that way when she's suffering with cancer?" To which Combs brought up the face that McCain's wife had been in a bad car accident and was still suffering when McCain betrayed her." Then Hennity tried to weasel out of his corner by bring up the fact that McCain had recently gotten out of the Hanoi Hilton. Now it's my turn, O.K. So he was a prisoner of war, but at the same time his wife remained true and was raising their three kids. If he wanted out of their marriage he could have at least been decent enough to tell her so and ask for a divorce. He didn't have to sneak behind her back. McCain is as bad as Edwards and Hennity was a hypocrite for defending him. Hennity also brought up the fact that it had happened years ago, well so did the Keating Five Scandal which is also never brought up when talking about McCain. People I don't know about you but I'll be damned if I'll trust Hennity or McCain.

8/29/08: Jack Kemp (Republican Vice President Candidate with Bob Dole) on Hennity & Combs was making a point that Joe Biden had no real international experience by saying that just sitting on the foreign relations committee wasn't real experience. This might have made sense if that was all the experience that Biden had. People Joe Biden has traveled the world with and at times leading congressional information gathering committees; he has met with (and knows.) most of the world leaders and probably all of the leaders in the middle east.

I seem to remember Biden calling Slobodan Milosivic a war criminal to his face, then coming back home and being the main force in pushing Bill Clinton into sending troops into Yugoslavia to end his crimes against humanity.

More recently, (Before he was picked as the vice presidential candidate.) when Georgia was invaded by Russia, Mikheil Saakashvili called the U.S. State Department and asked for a meeting with, Guess who? Joe Biden.

That would seem to be pretty damn good foreign relations experience to me.

Of course Hennity agreed with Jack Kemp's assessment, which to me makes both of them idiots.

9/10/08: Sean Hennity showed his true colors. He was interviewing Governor Rendell about the Obama campaign and every time Rendell tried to give a answer that contradicted Hennity's point of view he would interrupt the Governor, even changing the subject. When he finally started to make a point that was indisputable Henntiy said "We're running out of time." and asked a question that had nothing to do with the conversation. I was appalled with his disrespect.

Later on Hennity was saying how good the economy is. People maybe 6.1 % Unemployment isn't really that bad but remember that figure doesn't take into fact that there are many, many, people who are off the unemployment rolls because they have been unemployed past their cut off date. It also doesn't take into account that many people are now working jobs with less compensation or at the least the same compensation that they were getting when the Bush Administration came into office, that the price of everything, except homes, has going up, especially Gas & Heating Oil & Heath insurance and care. He didn't mention the bail out of Freddy & Fanny or the people who are having their homes foreclosed on, The banks that failed in California. What world is he living in???

He also brought up the face that Obama voted "Yes" on a education bill that would have Children in kindergarten receive sex education. He tried to make it sound "Sick" People the bill would have teachers explain "Good touch bad touch." & was meant to help kids understand what was happening when an adult was abusing them and how to prevent it and protect themselves. Is Hennity Against Kids being able to protect themselves, does he want pedophiles to have the upper hand?

9/11/08: Newt Gingrich, on Hennity & Combs, made a statement that he (Newt) had brought up the fact that Obama had been a Community Organizer because and only because the Obama campaign had talked about Sarah Palin being a small town mayor. I'd like to tell him that he and the Republican Party had been talking about Obama being a community organizer long be fore Sara Palin was even considered for McCain's pick. He** I heard that even before Obama won the nomination.

During the time that Newt was making his point to Combs, Hennity was mouthing "What is a community organizer?"  I guess the rich, Yes he is rich don't know how the poor organizer themselves in order to better their communities. Now tell me just who is an elitist?
