Watergate part 2?
*Rep. Grimm on office burglary: ‘An assault on democracy and the political process’
Computer data stolen, files corrupted and erased at New York re-election office
Republican Rep. Michael Grimm’s re-election campaign headquarters to find windows shattered by rocks and pieces of cement.
Grimm released a statement that the burglary “is a disgraceful act of cowardice that is beneath the people I represent,” adding that he had “never saw anything as dirty or disgraceful as this.”
There are no known suspects, according to police. However, a press release states that police do believe that the broken windows is a “cover-up for the burglary in which the suspect corrupted and erased the hard-drive of the campaign computer server, which contains confidential campaign files and polling data.”
MSNBC is considered a news network? I thought they were part of the reelection campaign for Obama.
Even as President Obama avoids meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today to save time for hanging with the ladies on The View
Canadian Prime Minister will be meeting with Netanyahu.

G. Man would not do it like that.
That’s one reason why American businesses are moving to Canada. Also because they are becoming energy self-sufficient and business tax rate is 15%.
Unlike the incredibly stupid politicians in the US, Canada has had the sense to reduce corporate tax rates and encourage manufacturing. You guys are also increasing the harvesting of your natural mineral resources (oil).
Good for you. It’s good to know that there is still some intelligence left somewhere on this planet.
Would you guys please be kind enough to give us a discount on your beer once we run out of money and the resources to create our own?

Do you really want to bring up Canada in a discussion about US politics as an example to try strive to be like? You do know they have Universal Health Care and the tax rates their as significantly higher then the US. lol
Speaking of Canada and Universal health Care, for those believing the BS Fox spews about how Canadians hate it.
Here is a list of the Greatest Canadians
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Greatest_Canadian
#1 on the list is the guy who brought Universal Health Care to Canada in the 1940s
I still haven’t saw it reported by the MSM. Is it so bogus its not worth the time? Their not aware the suit was filed? I have no idea. If true Bush & Nobama should be in deep doo doo IMO. From what i understand the EPA has stated PM2.5 is bad for you. They made claims (in front of congress) as to how bad it is. Then allegedly conducted tests on humans, exposing them to unsafe levels.
The filing to the EPA case. PDF
FNC & MSNBC both had two shows on the list.
Bill O number 1 in total viewers – 2.958.
WWE FRI NIGHT Smackdown number 1 (original cable program) – 0.8
Get a preview of Nobama’s visit to The View.
Is anybody else seeing a dark purple “new” on the Tonight in Prime Time box? Sometimes it’s light blue (like normal) other times mine is dark purple.
@Hillbilly
No colored boxes here. I’m using a custom style, though. I’ll turn it off to see what happens.
@Hillbilly
No colored boxes either way. The ones you see, are they kind of psychedelic by any chance?

Gee, Ted Koppel says FOX news is bad for America. A member of the corrupt lib. media. What a shocker!
The whole “bump in the road” comment, I don’t see any political fallout. Unless of course you are Mitt Romney then you would be destroyed for the comment by the corrupt vermin in the lib. media. The lib. media is a nice poodle to own.
Hey Billy,
Rachel Maddow was actually ranked higher than O’Reilly on that link you posted.

Hey UpandOver, that’s the White version. A little bit of history and current event questions. Present day questions start around 3:10.
Nielson has one redeeming value and that is setting advertising so all of you touting Fox’s total viewers really don’t get it. Fox is getting trounced in web site visits, ap downloads, eyeballs in hotel rooms, viewership online and on airports & worldwide so sorry try again. The only thing total viewers says is Fox has more avid viewers, who are essentially stuck to their couches. Bottom line there are much better ways to figure out the total numbers of viewers in the country than Nielson and advertisers know that , hence why they love the Demo.
MSNBC’s numbers are astonishing considering they were on the brink of survival less than nine years ago. Love him or hate him Olberman’s set them up for success and the network built around him and ultimately replaced him. The quality of Rachel Maddow’s show has grown tremendously, Ed & Lawrence are character’s who is easy to like, they have personalities. The network is growing and attracting viewers. However, I blame these numbers on Fox’s Hubris. They went overboard with the Attacks on Obama, I mean the network that had nothing negative to say about Bush has nothing positive to say about Obama. The collusion with Romney’s campaign on the you built it thing, Hannity sitting on every RNC members lap, O’Rielly lecturing on what ever he wants to day by day, it turns people off. I stopped watching Fox when I saw statements I heard in full context get distorted & twisted to benefit Romney. I’m pretty sure they turned off a lot of people like me but they have no one to blame but themselves. I don’t like being brain washed and they are 24/7 infomercial, say what you want about MSNBC but I have not witnessed the yellow journalism that’s happening at Fox
