The Troll

Quote from: Henry Hawk on October 22, 2010, 12:10:26 PM
there are not that many extremist...that is just more media hype....the vast majority of tea party attendee's Palehore are folks like the Hawk...I am telling you the truth, I have been to two of them in Indy...they was made up of normal conservative people....businessmen, doctors (I know I saw MY very own DR there), lawyers, military (lot's of military btw)....you can believe me or not.  I have NEVER  lied to you, despite what exterminater claims, .... those candidates that you are talking about got nominated because they are simply more conservative...they are runnning on smaller government and that is what the Tea Party people want...it is THAT simple.

I'm out of here, take care Zoners!!... :yes:

  Henry and Me, I really got this feeling that  your Tea Party candidates are not going to come out as good as  you think.  And I think Harry Reid will be back and boy will he be pissed.  How sweet it will be.  So don't count you chicken hawk eggs before they hatch.

It's interesting that the ditto heads at Fox News are all incensed about this happening to Juan, so much so that their superiors gave him a contract as Troll noted.  However, Bill O'Reilly seems to say he's going to make it a point to "hit 'em where it hurts" and call for the cessation of all taxpayer funding for NPR.  What his sheeple don't realize, and what Bill O'Liely isn't telling them, is that even if that happened, it would be no distraction for the people of NPR.  But that's what Fox does best.  Get the sheeple all riled up thinking that Big Bad Bill is going to do something about it even though it would be meaningless if he succeeds.



Glenn Beck and Shawn Hannity and Bill O'Reilly have been called crazy because of what they've e said about O bama but it all adds up. O bama is out to destroy our society. It's obvious that he hates capitalism and this health plan was never about helping people. God help us if this isnt defeated, because I'm not sure our great country could crumble farther. In time I certainly hope the black community sees him for what he really is,instead of worshipping him because of his skin color. As for Juan Williams he's an example of how O bama is turning America over to the muslims and he's using the media to do it.

Soros just donated $1M to NPR.  They could, and should, end up losing their government money because of this incident too.  What is really wrong is these reporters can trash anyone they want to but they can't say anything even remotely negative about radical Muslims or Democrats without getting fired or discredited in some way.
Do you realize that Juan was the only black man working for NPR?  Now how loud do you think the powers that be would be screaming if that were the case at Fox?   

So, who was fired for saying something negative about a Democrat?

As for being discredited - typically, wouldn't the person spreading misinformation actually be discrediting themselves?

BOTH sides are f'd up......the dems SUCK and the repubs SUCK!!!

I want some regular folks in Washington, who don't OWN no f'ing favors to no one.....and QUIT spending OUR money like it is growing on trees....



Do you think there's anyone like that? really? I think they're all bought and paid for to some degree.

Conservatives has known that it has been dead for years now....it just took a conservative news group to smack those on the left to realize this...Liberal bias has been around for two decades....now that FoxNews is throwing it back in the faces of liberals....EVERYBODY get's it finally.



I'm sorry, I have to say this, but Fox is the poster child for corporate media.

I say they are everybit as truthful as ANY news agency out there.....they just lean right, where the rest leans left....

CBS,ABC,NBC,MSNBC,CNN,PBS..ALL of them have been using half truths and outright lies to obtain their corporate goals....


Okay, I know I've posted this before, but everybody has bias, even those of us who try hard not to (as evidenced by the recent Juan Williams hatchet job.) You have to expose yourself to both sides, check the facts, and come to your own conclusion.

If this program is too arduous, try to get your news from Reuters. They are not a network. They SELL stories to networks. All networks. Ergo, but reading exclusively from Reuters, you will get a fairly balanced mix from both (or all) points of view. But quit blaming the networks. Y'all are the sheep who watch them. It's time to realize that Walter Cronkite is dead, and the only values any network espouses now belong to their sponsors.

Why do you think FoxNews is so powerful and the MOST watched?


Same reason "Survivor" is a top-rated television program. We just can't look away from the train wreck.

  Juan Williams was never a liberal, never was a democrat, but now with a $3 million income a year.  He sure can be a Republican and cry for a tax cut.  Which he will.  I wonder now many blacks in this country makes $3 million dollars a year.  Not many.

How many Americans make 3 million a year? Not many!

I'm glad you know so much about Juan Troll.  He sure spends a lot of time defending Obama and his policies not to be a dem.   Link to his pay stub/check please.  Even a tax return would do.

  Hey baby cakes.  He was just hired by Fox for 3 years for $3 Million a  year.  $9 Million.  I can't believe  you didn't hear it.  Poor Juan Williams.  You surly heard about the little pig the weeeeee weeeeee weeeee all the home.  Well, Juan can go weeeee weeee weeeeee all the way to the bank.

  Yeah, Fox hiring a liberal, Democrat to work full time for them.  "ME" give me a break.  :cry: :cry: :cry:

Palehorse

I am still of the opinion that what happened to Juan does not bode well for the rest of us; even if he did fall on his ass and come up smelling like a rose almost immediately. 99.9% of the rest of us will not be as fortunate when it happens to us! And it will. . .
