Obama Nation

[s70turbo1998]

Or the media perpetuates those who use the "Tea Party" as a jumping off point into the media spotlight as a way to corrupt the image of the group.

This isn't about race. How about Pelosi calling to pass a 26 billion state aid bill in the middle of the August recess. Obama's staff members are quitting. Emanuel called the WH "Fucknutville". In O's recent Texas appearances, Dems made no appearance. You think Fox did all that?

I do like that O is promoting education, as I sincerely believe America is in a period of absolute ignorance, allowing figureheads and political/social icons to do all the thinking for them. Then when given a ballot, they simply recall what was on channel 11 news or channel 5 news the night before and pen their decision in, sheepishly.

I do not think O will get anything done about it though. With the economy not performing in it's expected cyclical manner, the extreme partisanship that is occurring, and the general nonchalance of the American public among other things, I think O has too much on his plate. Education requires funding, and this vapid attempt at funding anything right now while we are at extreme levels of debt is ridiculous. Conservatives argue against spending in times like these, however bills can be geared towards being socially liberal with relief for various groups and actions to support those in need, which I support. I do not support them when we cannot afford them, which puts the nay-sayers in a bad light. It's about realistic expectations. Obama nation uses unrealistic liberal agendas to politick and create dissent with conservative notions, which we need.

WOW.

Intelligent, really.

This isn't about race.

It may not be for you, but for Fox 'News' it is. It's their bread and butter. It's how they keep people pissed off and distracted from the real issues. And for the Tea Party race is their very reason for existence. It's about white Americans "taking their country back." (As if it belongs to them!) I'm sure there are many individual Tea Party followers who are genuinely concerned about the direction the country is headed and want the best for it, but you'd have to have a pretty big set of blinders on to not notice the Klan-rally vibe the party gives off.

Your a guilt ridden white man. You feel bad that your social and economic position was made possible by the degradation and repression of people of color.

The race war is perpetuated by NAACP, Rainbow coalition et al. And the 2 whiny crooks, Waters and Rangle.

If you call out race baiters your a racist huh? You cant question motive at all can you?

Your obsession with FOX is interesting, you must watch it 24/7 to get all your facts() straight.

I bet you live in a town with a very low population of minorities, right? Why?

I can find hypocrisy in every rationalization.

Hey, did you hear they're building a mosque right on top of ground zero? Grrrrrr! :lol:

It is not about race for them, they bring it up because other people pull the race card.

I think we're missing the main point here... fox is full of sh!t, and the republican population refuses to watch anything else, so eventually they are bound to be full of sh!t as well

[s70turbo1998]

Let's do this. Bring up an issue raised/covered by Fox and let's see how they're full of shit.

I get all my news from reading Drudge and Huffington Post by the way.

This challenge has been issued before and met. Why does everyone keep bringing it up?

The question should be for the people who watch Fox News, who are the newscasters?

so why argue for fox?

[s70turbo1998]

I'm not arguing for Fox. There is a magnitude of people, however, who discredit valid arguments simply because Fox broadcasts them. That disregard of "the other side" is what breeds a great deal of partisan ignorance. News outlets have to use two extremes to compete with each other in order to draw viewers, but do yourself a favor and look at both sides of the argument. Otherwise you're just as bad as Fox.

On a lighter note, Fox has Family Guy. By far the funniest take on everything in life.

I have stated this before, but most of what is on Fox News is actually opinion. Fox even states this and there is only like 7 hours (I could be off on this number, but not more than an hour) of the day that they actually report news. The rest is opinion.

Fox is an enigma. It is almost like they are two separate networks because the regular channel tends to have a LOT of liberal leaning programs, yet Fox News is blatantly anti liberal.

[s70turbo1998]

All mainstream news has opinion interjected into it, whether it be directly with the newscasters or indirectly with omission of parts of the story.

I had hoped an issue regarding government would have come up but I mistakenly made it about Fox again. So...Obama, Obama...why let tax cuts expire that would potentially affect small businesses, who you apparently are a voice for? Small businesses often put profit as the owner's income, which in turn puts small business owners in the demographic of the "elite" that ought to pay more taxes when Bush's cuts expire.

[weekendwarrior]

I'm not saying NBC or CNN or ABC is any better, all of the mainstream media outlets bash and bash the political affiliation they oppose, sadly it's almost like "fair reporting" and politics are two things that don't mix on the american airwaves anymore makes me very sad :(

I believe you have your facts misconstrued here, the bush tax cuts aren't made for you or the SMALL business owner silly, they're for people making well over 350,000 a year. These oh so richeous cuts were disguised and passed in order so all the rich fat republicans sitting in their ranches can keep more of their money. People keep forgetting just how much the government loves helping rich people and constantly f-ing the middle class, they play some hoakie story on fox and cnn to convince us these tax cuts are crucial to our economy and its recovery throw in some out-of-context "facts" and all of a sudden you forget that less than 5% of the population owns more than 80% of the wealth in us and happily nod in agreement. Don't take the media's word for what exactly these tax cuts are, dig a little deeper and I guarantee you opinion will change.

to add: why yes, they do somewhat benefit the lower and middle class, but the gains for the extremely wealthy are just retarded.
