If Ezra can beat Hannity , for sure Maddow will bury him.
In the effort to clean up the image of the republican party, Fox will slowly separate itself from the Talk Radio craziness. A first step will be to fire Hannity and send him where he belongs, the Talk Radio mental hospital.
@Bev
FOX NEWS, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Michelle Malkin, Karl Rove, D/ick Morris, Matt Drudge, and every other Conservative radio talk show host FAILED in getting a Republican elected into the White House.
MSNBC, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Lawrence O’Donnell, etc, succeeded in getting a Democrat elected into the White House.
Fox “News” cable ratings for their personalities are really tanking and MSNBC’s ratings are on fire. You can bet that Rupert and Roger are NOT happy. But it is true that right wing lunatics like Beck and Limbaugh can continue to make loads of money off the suckers to whom they appeal………..
Can’t we all just get along?

Mark:
That still does not negate the fact that RedBarSoup was touting a study which turned out to be a hoax that he bought hook, line and sinker which said that Fox News watchers were not intelligent. In fact, it shows the opposite of that study, that people who watch MSNBC, like RedBarSoup, are not the intelligent ones……and we didn’t even need a study for that.
After Watergate there were lots of regulations put in place on how much money people can contribute to politicians. It got real restricted. Limits were put in place. Every politician since Watergate, Rep and Dem, adhered to those restrictions until Obama’s first run for Presidency in ’08.
Obama sideswiped ALL the regulations put in place since Watergate so that he had no limits to the amount of money that could run through his campaign. As a result, he opened the floodgates again on how much money goes into campaigns. Everyone likes to act like it’s the Reps who did that, but it was Obama.
In the ’08 campaign, Obama sideswiping restrictions raised around 160 million and McCain raised around 68 million because he stayed within the regulations set up after Watergate. (I can’t remember the exact numbers. It’s been so long ago. But it’s way out of line what Obama did).
When you hear Rachael Maddow on an MSNBC commercial say, “A few years ago the limits were raised on how much money can be spent on elections,” she purposely leaves out the fact that Obama’s actions raised that limit. She leaves listeners, people like RedBarSoup, to think it was the Republicans who raised that ceiling.
Just another comment on an MSNBC watcher’s intellect.
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 because of.
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.
Mark2 or should we call you Mr. Science, your comparison of one day’s ratings from last year to one day’s ratings this year is meaningless and has no basis for determining anything about trends in ratings. You can pretend it does so you can think you are a scientist but you would be wrong.
The second to last step in a losing argument– false equivalency (union thugs are the same as the Tea Party). The last step of course as all you libs know is to call someone a racist.
Redbardope, any chance you are going to man up and admit you made a mistake on the Fox viewers study??
Let’s face it. It’s now a consistent trend. When Rachel is hosting, she beats Hannity in the key demo. That’s the new normal. The same with Lawrence.
I know you Foxies cannot accept this fact, but it’s reality. Get over it.
@Mark2,
We Republicans believe in math and science. We just do not believe in lib math and their junk science.
Here is the truth. Figures do not lie but Lairs do figure. I really don’t care what the ratings of Fox news or MSNBC news was last year at this time or is this year at this time. I’ve worked in Marketing for years and we never looked at December ratings.
study, that people who watch MSNBC, like RedBarSoup
This is news to me! I watch MSNBC!?!?! WAOH!!! Shocker!!!
Ratboy, you are right as usual. There are just too many loons on this site now. I guess that is why the number of comments has decreased to such a great extent. The lies and anger of the far left loons just are as much fun as those who either don’t post much here anymore or have left altogether. No more good discussions and no more fun. Just angry libs. Got to find something better than this.
aren’t as much fun
Still waiting Redbardope!! I have some beach front property I will sell to you cheap. Obama used to live there.
Redbardope, did I mention the property is in Montana?
DB, didn’t you make a bet with Jeff that is Romney lost you would stop posting on the site?
is=if
Redbardope, you just keep showing your ignorance. If you had paid attention you would remember I made an offer to Jeffie (several times) but he was too much of a coward to take me up on it. Try to pay attention and speaking of cowards you dodged admitting how gullible you are. Grow a pair and come clean on your massive screw up.
BTW, nice example of the third to last step in making a losing argument–change the subject.
Lastly, Romney didn’t lose, the country did.
Redbardope, I have an offer for you!! Admit you were taken in by the Fox viewer study hoax or you stop posting on this site. One less loon might be of some help.
@DB … Romney lost. Period. Denial is not a healthy thing.
