I am tired of people defending Republicans/Trump/Bush

Watching MSNBC and some commentator on with Lawrence said that Trumps inexperience caused him not to correct the crazy dude who claimed Obama is is Muslim, blah, blah, blah, then went on to say no one else on the stage last night would have let that happen.

Sorry, but BULL FUCKING SHIT!

Cruz and the Huckster would have done nothing.

Bush, Fiorina, Rubio, Paul, not likely.

Christie maybe.

The only one I think would certainly condemn a comment like that is Kasich.

Look 50 plus percent of Republicans believe Obama is a Muslim, 70 plus percent of the Republicans believe he was not born in the U.S. or aren't sure.

These are ignorant, hate filled, racist assholes and should not be given any slack until the educate themselves or become too embarrassed to spew their ignorance and hate.

Rant over.

and that includes broadcast news, as well. The most I've seen is a second or two as I'm shuffling through the channels.

The only news out there worth a damn is Al Jazeera America. They report the news in neutral language and I have watched a few of their in depth shows. They're great.

You'll never see any positive stories about Israel there, but you can switch back to corporate news for those.

I found them during Fukushima, only outlet that actually reported rather than playing the same endless loop. But when the subject of Isreal comes up they do feel like Fox News Middle East.

As I said, I only watch a few in depth stories now and then and if you want puff pieces about Israel, get them on mainstream news.

I think what impresses me most is the unbiased language and the lack of breathy blondes who talk about celebrity garbage like it's the end of the universe.

When I was in the hospital last spring, I found the hospital TV menu very limited, no TCM or other movie channels, so I tried watching CNN. That lasted for 5 minutes, even on heavy drugs. I just couldn't take it. I don't know how anyone can. However, since people do, that might be one of the reasons the country has gone nuts.

the lowest denominater in the American people, the bigots, racists and who knows which other haters.

At least Mr. McCain was decent enough to say that President Obama is an American.

These bottom feeders including Carly are riling up their bases. Jeb Bush lied, Trump lied and Fiornia lied about Planned Parenthood. she even is again maternity leave for Americans. These republicans are from a twilight zone, they are not normal.

People who post crap like THAT are Rove-ing Gnomes! KKKarl pays them! They should be banned from the website; but they simply get another email address and rejoin.

about to encounter publicly. Those fuckwads have to hide behind something. Lies are usually their first choice. Otherwise they would have to change, because how can a hater stand/like/love or even tolerate himself or herself. Looking at one's self is sometimes a scary thing. Racist haters are miserable fuckers.

Stop watching programs on the Big Three that include the names of the hosts. (You know, as if the hosts were rock stars.)

Watch only news programs that don't do that. Try that.
