That says more about where you live. You saw the study?? Where is it?
RedBarSoup, 90 percent of the people I talk to on a daily basis are Fox News watchers. Majority of my world are Republicans, most fiscal Conservatives, several Libertarians.
We’re all workers and successful people. We’re are all well informed people. Not only do we all watch Fox News, we also read a lot and we also share with each many sources of information from a lot of arenas. We’re well informed.
As far as your so-called polls and which university does what, that doesn’t tell me anything except for students have too much time on their hands.
I’ve done polls before. They are so easy to skew in so many ways. We saw that with this past election.
You seem so bent on this poll telling you something, that somehow Fox News watchers are not informed. Who cares? I certainly don’t.
I know you’re ill informed from many of the things you say, so I figure you’re an MSNBC watcher. I’m sure you don’t care what I think. I’m sure you think you’re well informed.
Since I don’t really care about or believe what the University of Maryland or Fairleigh Dickinson University say about Fox News watchers, but I really like what Hannity said about President Obama and the situation involving Psy, I’m going to repost my post from page 1.
Hannity asked a great question tonight.
Hannity asked if Psy, Gangnam Style, a few years back did a song on stage calling for the killing and torture and slow death of Muslim wives, mothers and daughters instead of doing a song about torturing and killing American wives, mothers and daughters would President Obama have boycotted the Christmas musical that Psy sang at Sunday that President Obama went to where he shook the hand of Psy?
My thought is that President Obama would have boycotted that event. Just like Obama still has that guy in jail who created that video against Muslims that he and Hillary Clinton were so appalled about that they say the Muslims killed and sodomized our Ambassador over.
I don’t see the President or Hillary Clinton the least bit appalled over Psy wanting American wives, mothers and daughters slowly tortured and killed. As a matter of fact, President Obama shook Psy’s hand.
Oops, here’s that first link again

Proves the point that Redbarsoup has no idea what he’s talking about and believes everything he reads without question.
Just in case my previous post is deleted here’s the HuffPo story.
IT’S A HOAX. REDBARSOUP FELL FOR IT!!!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/michael-giltz/exclusive-pr-guru-behind_b_2268959.html
Oh, this is hilarious!!! lol
Thank you, Dave, for bringing this to light. I read these two stories and I’m cracking up. Liberals, like RedBarSoap, are so danged gullible. They really want that garbage they think is real to BE real. They will believe anything they tell each other. lol
I hope he reads it. HAHAHAHA!!!
Dave, I bet he reads it and never comes back here as RedBarSoap again. lol
I’m cracking up because he just kept making a point of this and never even checked his own source. It’s like too funny. Only MSNBC watchers/Liberals can be THIS gullible!!! lol
BEVAG is not too bright.
“I don’t care what a university says, but what Sean Hannity says I buy hook line and sinker”
Well, good for you!! Then post more lies and mistruths from right wing garbage sites proven wrong on many levels to satisfy a perverse need to be angry and bitter in their little bubble of fantasy. Enjoy!
Good morning all.
LOL at Jeff saying someone else is not too bright. That is entertainment.
Even more entertaining…..
Thank you BevAG, Diamond Dave, AppleStinx, and RedBarSoup for an entertaining discussion of who is and is not ill-informed and which polls say this or that.
Very entertaining. As any ‘informed’ person knows, the poll is only as good as the sample of participants.
RedBarSoup says he accepts this skewed poll that Fox News viewers are ill-informed as fact based upon everyone he talks to in his world. I could say the same about MSNBC viewers if I based it on that alone. Just the other day I was sitting in a Starbucks and I overheard a couple of well-kept ladies in the line talking about something discussed on the Melissa Harris-Perry show. In their talking, the two ladies were bad-mouthing republicans as the party of ‘No’ over the fiscal cliff debacle, and at the same time saying republicans don’t realize that we have a population of 16 trillion with only a $3 million debt and that raising taxes will easily pay down the debt. It was very hard to not break out in insane laughter. Are all MSNBC viewers this naive? No. But I hear this kind of crap coming more from liberals than fiscal conservatives.
Similar to BevAG, most of the people in my world of influence are Conservatives or Libertarians, and it seems everyday I meet someone new who is a Conservative or Libertarian. We all do well for ourselves and most of us have post secondary-school education. I interact with so many conservatives/libertarians (Republicans/Ron Paulers) that I am sometimes baffled at how California has so many voters in the bag for the Democratic party. But I also understand that I don’t live in a population center where most of the Democrats are.
It seems to me that alot of the liberals in here suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect (a false sense of intellectual superiority stemming from a miscalibration of the sense of their own competence relative to the competence others).
Good Morning Everyone
The qweed is really strong in San Fran
*Unexplained Light Formation Spotted Above San Francisco…
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) – A viewer told CBS 5 about some surprising video captured early Sunday morning in San Francisco’s Mission District.
In the video, a series of lights fly in formation above the city before appearing to take a diamond shape and eventually disappearing.
*Serbia’s mystic mountain targeted by apocalypse believers…
*’Vulture spying for Israel’ caught in Sudan… (The weed must be strong over there too)
Hi Coffee Steve
You must have just visited the same news site I visited. I recognized all those whacky headings. The spying vulture story gave me a few laughs.
Blimey, a day after the Nov. 6 election, the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation found that two-thirds of the $1.3 billion spent by independent groups on political campaigns had gone for losing causes.
In most cases, those groups had supported Republican candidates or opposed Democrats . “Using available data, the Sunlight Foundation said of the $103.5 million American Crossroads spent in the general election, 1.29% of it ended in the desired result. None of the candidates American Crossroads supported won, and most of the candidates it opposed were victorious. Crossroads GPS, which does not have to disclose its donors, spent $70 million during the general election with 14.4% of it having the result it wanted, according to Sunlight Foundation’s analysis. None of the candidates GPS supported won.”
As Andrew Klavan & other conservatives lament “What a waste of money” Conservatives have to start thinking & acting in new ways . Consider ,if you will, channeling this obscene amount of money into the culture rather than to the Republican Party . Conservatives need more of their own conservative writers , blogs , adult, & especially children’s books , & culture representatives. Big conservative investors , what about putting your money into a film studio , & , do some value driven movies. Use Twitter, Facebook and YouTube too, but, reinforce this by physically active in our cities and communities. A conservative narrative needs to start somewhere.
Morning TZCA
Yep, I usually start with Drudge with my morning Coffee
Coffee Steve,
I am so lazy. I told myself last night ‘Ok, no Monster Energy Drink tomorrow; instead I’ll make some coffee.’ I woke up around 3 am (my time) wandered over to the fridge, and grabbed a Monster.
@TZCA
I have actually never tried one of those energy drinks, my wife told me if she ever caught me drinking one she was leaving because I already drive her nuts with my enegry
DING!
School is now is session..OK Class respond by saying “Present”
LOL @ driving momma nuts with energy.
I never touched energy drinks until I met my ex-wife in 2003. I would regulate the caffeine with two or three cups of coffee throughout the day. She introduced me to Red Bull. I was doing alot of late night driving (working night shift, going to college, and driving 140 miles one way to visit her several times through the week). It tasted like cough syrup but I got the quickest energy-boost I had ever encountered. Then, we started working at the same place and started driving into work together, and Monsters became a morning routine. Now I have to exhaust my will-power to avoid the dang things. They’re too convienent.
Coffee Steve,
Do you homeschool?
