Fox seems to think that the left needs to just sit down and shut up while they be the hell out of us..

2. It's hard to know what to say anymore

The hypocrisy is just astounding.

3. Please re-read and proof your statement, Alan Colmes is the biggest

wimp on any TV set.

Let's just have him say, Fox News is not news, it's a political arm of the Republican Party and promoted the Tea baggers shamelessly, while they now put their feet up the ass of real Americans who are hurting in dozens of cities.

Really, I am so sick of the idiots that represent the "progressive" views on paid-for cable TV. They are such limp-wrists when it comes to the real issues. They think Fox News is hypocritical? HELLO!!!!! Fox News is NOT only hypocritical; they are LIARS AND CHEATS!

6. "liberal" talking heads need to be certified as liberal.

One way the right-wing controls the message is by restricting the liberal point of view to what comes out of the mouths of wimps like Colmes, know-nothings like Brazille, and turncoats like Stephanopolus. There should be some way to insist that -- before a talking head can claim to speak for liberals -- he/she must be 'approved' as a spokesman BY liberals. That way, the TV shows would have more guests like Hightower and Frank, and fewer like Estrich and Sabato.

8. Let's face it! Only the very under-skilled, under-informed self-proclaimed ...

"liberals" will appear of Fox News for $

The rest, the self-respecting, the really insightful ones appear on MSNBC, or Current TV.

11. I think Rachel Maddow would go in a hearbeat - they're just smart enough

not to ask her.

4. Expect that more often. They have been spewing unopposed.

We have sat quietly, and recorded it. Soon to be used as a bludgeon.

5. Colmes? Really? ALAN Colmes?

Who set fire to HIS britches?

7. Fox is having their "Let them eat cake moment."

Bring out the guillotines!

Oh, and fuck that twunt Kimberly Guilfoyle.

[David Sky]

9. Didn't Kimberly become one of the Fox News idiots when she had to admit

that she married that San Francisco Mayor, and realized he wouldn't put out for her?

She found out she's just a WH**** for anyone who will buy her!

10. I didn't know that but doesn't surprise me.

These pundits are for sale, truth be damned.

Edit: Damn word predictor on my phone.

12. Their hypocrisy is epic

Recently, their radio blurbs were all about "Do you believe in freedom of speech, of worship, do you believe in freedom of the press and the right to express your opinion?"

This was their ceaseless promo trying to get teabagers to sign up for some "ExpressYourTeabaggin'AssSentimentsOnOurWebsite" schtick they had running. I mean, they were all about the "Freedom of Expression" a few months ago.

Suddenly, those promos aren't running anymore. Either every last Teabagger signed up so what's the point, or FOX has, overnight, decided that "Freedom of Expression" should not be encouraged.

Rupert Murdoch owns an amazingly expedient operation of Grand Hypocrisy.
