If you can stomach it check out the story on FOX on Libya on Sept. 11 2012. I know how you feel about FOX but after seeing the evidence it is undeniable what went on in Libya and the cover up after.
Jeff has different writing style than Sam and Matthew. they will be gone when Obama loses . Dems will quit paying
Over the weekend, Facebook took down a message by the Special Operations Speaks PAC (SOS) which highlighted the fact that Obama denied backup to the forces being overrun in Benghazi.
We created and posted this meme on Saturday after news broke that Obama had known and denied SEALS the backup they requested.
Once the meme was up it garnered 30,000 shares, approx. 24,000 likes, and was read by hundreds of thousands of people — all within 24 hrs. On Sunday, I went into the SOS Facebook page to post something else and found a warning from Facebook that we had violated Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities with our meme. So I copied the warning, put it on the meme as as caption, and re-posted the meme to the Facebook page.
Along with the re-posted meme, Ward put a link to the Facebook “feedback comment” inbox so visitors to the SOS page could send a message to Facebook if they were as outraged over the meme being jerked down as he was.
Ward said Facebook pulled the re-posted meme down within 7 or 8 hours and suspended the SOS account for 24 hours.
In other words, Facebook put the Navy SEALS in timeout in order to shield Obama.
How low can you go?
Try to upload a video with Obama’s name in the title. It won’t happen. I finally changed the title and then changed it back after it was posted. That was the only way FB would accept it.
SP, not going anywhere, but you can hope!
@coffee, Star Wars Returns will be a smash!!! Lets not forget the BEST Star Wars movie was The Empire Strikes Back. It was the only one George Lucas didn’t direct. Not a fan of Disney on any level but give them big credit for being a influential and powerful brand that will probably do great things for the Star Wars franchise.
Plus Coffee one of my listings in BH that just went into escrow last week was next door to Carrie Fisher’s estate. BTW Princess Leah was never seen
LOL!
CNN is still the most-trusted cable news station whenever there is big breaking news. Even the mighty Fox News cannot top CNN during such times.
If Romney wins the presidency, Fox News will become Pravda.
CNN is on Fire!!!
Their 25-54 Demo numbers kicked some major azz.
For the 2nd straight night the Sean Hannity Show states that Obama’s Approval rating has never reached above 47% while in office. What a bunch of lying scumbags they are.
@Coffee Steve
——————-
By the way Kudo’s to Matthew and Mark, I said last week Norht Carolina was totally gone for Obama, But Obama made a small increase there and reversed the trend, so Romney is putting cash back in their to shore it up again.
——————-
NC is to Obama what Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania are to Romney. Basically a longshot and the only way either guys wins any of those states is in a landslide where the electoral votes are meaningless(none of the 4 states mentioned will be the state that puts either guy over the top).

Lawrence just blasted Iowa! I love it. Maddow getting a little twitchy too! So much fun to watch them in a panic. They can’t figure out why people don’t understand their version of the news.
lol at mark2
hi doug z
@SP
If the corrupt partisan media did their job on Libya.
That line is getting old fast.

You come around these parts you are going to hear it. The corrupt partisan media would love for people like me to shut up. It ain’t gonna happen pal.
I am looking to bring down their whole corrupt organization down with the truth. For to many years they have gotten away with their lies, half truths and omissions.
The progressive movement is going to have to stand or fall on their own merit. People like me are going to bring down their propaganda wing. CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, NY Times, Time, Newsweek, LA Times.
I leave out MSNBC because they don’t pretend to be something they are not. They are a liberal network and they yell it from the rooftops. Now that is honest.

I believe in as many voices and point of views as possible. If you want to be a news-person you are obliged to attack both sides not just one. If you want to be an opinion person, have at it the sky is the limit.
If Romney is elected you people on the left will be surprised. I will not defend stupidity and wrong doing.
If Romney had done what Obama did with Libya I would not show up to vote for him.
