terrorist who cut peoples heads off, blow up woman and children, set people on fire. You think we pissed them off , by sending them to a caribbean island, with 3 squares a day, and treated a hell of a lot better than they would treat us. Probably the nicest place those scumbags have ever seen.

Maybe if the libs , who voted for the war , and are still funding it to this day, did not politicize the war , and play right into the terrorist hand, there would be less deaths.
Terrorist know they can not beat us militarily, but can politically.
So thanks to the dems, and the asshole media , they got exactly what they wanted. GOOD WORK

It always amuses me when the Rethugs blame the "media" for all the ills of the world. Its a joke, a copout, and its been going on since Nam. Stop Blaming! its a negative emotion to blame, divert, regret. Just look forward .

Good example of media. The day Nancy Pelosi took over the House , the media was already at work. Effectively at Midnight, John Boehner will be third in line , and most Americans dont even know who he is.

Unfortunately , its the media we depend on for information. And whether we like it or not , they do influence all our opinions. They have a duty to tell us the facts, in an objective manner, but sadly that seems to be a thing of the past. We now have opinion news. Isos example of the 35 negative stories about republicans, and none about dems, is a sad example, of journalism at its worst. And trust me I know it works both ways!!

There are plenty of information sources. I spend 12hours a day in front of a Bloomberg terminal, its information non-stop, all kinds, FT, CSPAN. etc. I never blame the media, as you have in previous posts. I think people like to hear other people say things they agree with, thats why the average FoxNews primetime viewer watches 3+hrs a night, or Rush's audience staying tuned for hours. Information is boring, and Amercians dont like boring. I am an info junkie.

Mat-ty -- or MrGybe or any conservative lurkers -- do you have any idea why the people on the left are so incapable of responding to cold factual relevant comments with their own cold factual relevant comments, rather than their endless irrelevant baseless ad hominem?

I'd ask them directly, but it consistently elicits nothing but endless irrelevant baseless ad hominem, or at best, puzzling snippets wrapped in endless irrelevant baseless ad hominem. Even the few who do some research foul it by wrapping it in endless irrelevant baseless ad hominem.

Watch.

What's wid dat?

If we did not watch fox for three hours, ( does it still count as three hours if I am surfing porn, on my ipad at the same time?) we would all think obama was a nice guy from Chicago. Not a far left , american hating, socialist terd.
And just for the record, Fox has not had to retract one report in fifteen years, they have more lawyers on staff, than anti american books obama has on his shelves.

Cable news is a complete waste of time. Ill learn more about the world reading the FT for half an hour than 10,000 morons watching three hours of Shepard Smith or some hot blond with a ginormous rack. Its garbage, not news , and the stories are handpicked, and massaged to suit the agenda. Not my cup of tea.
