What happened to all the comments?
it looks like people in America like investigative reporting… in this day and age it isn’t really that difficult to do but why aren’t the major news networks cashing in on the story of the day – that Van Jones is a racist radical and that is acceptable to the white house – It’s amazing what our country has voted into office – an uninformed electorate is an enslaved society.
Well said Brett!
brett, the only think that would have been more amazing that Obama being elected was if the McCain/Palin team had been. We would be in the middle of a full-blown Great Depression 2.
I wonder what Cooper had on yesterday. Those are pretty amazing ratings.

What happened to all the comments?
Charlie. Didn’t you get the notice? All posts contradicting President Obama are being collected and FWD’ed to the White House. Buy a gun! Turn on Fox News and don’t change the channel.
Or we would be in recovery
Go FoxNews.
Go Glenn Beck
Go Hannity
Go O’Reilly
Go Greta, because you guys are the voice of tomorrow’s generations….
LOL, there is no conspiracy with the comments.
“All the comments” are where they were before. On the posts they were actually made on. We do separate posts for each day of ratings. These are the ratings for September 3. “All the comments” are on the Sept 1, Sept 2, etc. They don’t carry over to the new day’s post.
Omegaparticle– a second great depression will look like a picnic to what is going to happen to this country when Obama’s deficit spending catches up to us. Doesn’t the debt bother any of you liberals? What do you think the result is going to be– China will own us. The only good thing about that is at least Obama won’t be controlling our lives.
Forgot to mention, if anyone on Fox got Cooper’s “amazing ratings” they would be replaced.
Actually China won’t own us because they rely on us for over 50% of their exports meaning that if we collapse, so do they. And besides, if it comes to it, the US can collect debt from other countries and we’d have a surplus. The thing you should be worried about is the printing of money by the Federal Reserve and as history shows, that means trouble.
My Democratic brothers and sisters need to wake up. These are not liberals in the Presidency, these are radical leftists. These people don’t represent the ideals of Kennedy. Have you seen Cuba or Venezuela lately? That is our future if the radical Communist agenda is successful. The American Communist’s want complete power and control over everything. Control of the automotive industry, control over pay, control of the financial system, control over education, control of the media, control of health care, control over your family, control over your religion, control of the environment to the detriment of the people (see the farmers in California). Under this totalitarian sytem, civil liberties and freedom will disappear. Watch Glen Beck, he is the most effective questionner in the media, trying to understand what is going on. Question politicians of all parties and vote them out if they don’t support your ideals.
“Glen Beck, he is the most effective questionner in the media”
Thanks Troy! That made my day. It may be hours before I stop laughing.
He’s Howard Beale if anything.
Yeah, watch Glenn Beck make a fool of himself. LOL Nice place to get your news though really. The man can’t even spell:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-D_S7WOnjg
Beck or whatever his real name is couldn’t even stand up to the Henfest that is the ladies of The View. When did the radical right lose the abiltiy to hide what a bunch or whiny wimps they are revealing themselves to be?
Has Glenn Beck cried today?
Before all the Beck and Hannity kool-aid drinkers here get excited over these ratings,Take in mind that out of 300,000,000 million americans,only 1%=3,000,000.
Only 1% of America is watching Fox cable news.Now add on ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN,MSNBC,HLN,
AT AN AVERAGE OF 10,000,000 VIEWERS COMBINED-The real people of America are watching these channels.Keep staying in the minority of the right wingers ,and not central
America.
Left-wingers are human scum. Soulless cockroaches.
Laura, All the “real people”–what does that mean? What is a fake person?? Keep on trying to avoid the fact that fox is killing all other cable news programs and their ratings are increasing. More and more fake people are wising up to the socialist Obama. By the way apparently there are more fake people than you think– more people disapprove of Obama than approve now. I guess the number of fake people is increasing.Also according to you only 4 percent of Americans are watching TV of any kind. Pretty weak posting, Laura.
All day parts, all days FNC wins. Could it be Americans are tired of the same old crap and finally getting the news and commentary they believe in? Odorman sure doesn’t have anything positive to say and Grace and crime get old. Odorman spends 60 minutes ranting about FNC, what great advertisment for them, no wonder he is getting trounced in his time slot and reruns.
I’ve said enough about the liar that Beck is and that Van Jones isn’t the Josep Menegele of Obama administration. So I’ll join teriyaki in laughter at him and those that follow his ignorant, factually inacurrate excuse for a show.
Sharon, bet V Jones is gone form within the ranks of O’s admin within 2 weeks… Calling Repubs A** Holes may be right, but not “politically correct” and being a 9/11 truther won’t help him either. And beck brought it all up, accurately I might add. Didn’t hear a word about it on Odorman did you?
