Is Fox News our friend?
Or perhaps they're trying to steal liberals away from CNN. Just caught the middle of an interview with someone named Sheila Parks who brought up many valid points about election fraud that should be investigated. She appeared as more of a concerned activist senior than some sort of lunatic.

23. Mr. Spock, Sir-
I do not doubt you have the strength of ten. The idea of Fux News being anyone's friend would cause even a full blooded Vulcan to titter. Tee hee.... :)

3. Fox gives lip service to the left
They just want to perceived as "Fair and Balance". But in reality there agenda is 100% pro Bush. I wouldn’t trust those hakes to tell me the time of day, I would rather guess.

4. When the tide changes,
all the boats point a different direction.

The news business is about "credibility" not about fact. Even the evil media knows this, if Bush goes down or is going down or even may go down it is best to cover their own asses.

20. Considering the venue, which I rarely visit anyway....
don't know what possessed me. I guess I was in the mood for more catastrophic tidal coverage.

15. I Saw that too...
She did well. Many of the right wing wackos watching FNC may wonder what's going on in Ohio now. I call John Gibson (the host) Eraserhead. He has the stupidest hair on TV.

19. IMO, Fox could not redeem itself REGARDLESS of what it did
Again, IMO, it is the TV version of the NY Post and will always be.

I think they're starting to realize that people are on to their lies.

26. If they performed a mass suicide on air I would likely enjoy that.
I would not grieve for them as they dropped one at a time. They are destroyers of reality and thus humanity. Their lives are without value or honor.

27. That poor lady...
...will be shit-canned in seconds.
...or when she gets home tonight she will find the evil, amazonian, hollow-eyed, sunken-cheeked, Adam's apple sporting, androgynous zombie creature known as mAnn Coulter hiding in her closet with a butcher knife. And also a roll of duct tape...

...which will have nothing to do with the violent assault about to ensue. mAnn just needed it to tape her "man parts" down.

She doesn't want her twig and berries slowing her up any as she flees the crime scene.

29. And she is!!!!
I'll be honest with you, I am in the unfortunate position of living in a red county, and I know a LOT of Republicans.

They are all around me.

And even THEY hate her. Most say she is so blatantly hateful and obnoxious that she reinforces the stereotype that Republicans are mean, slanderous, rabble-rousers.

Some are, but few see it in themselves, so they see it in her, and they loathe it.
