Like all the other left wing nuts, Redbardope has proven his lack of character. He is totally driven by ideology and will not let facts get in the way of his bizarre views or false studies deter his beliefs. I can’t wait all nite for him to grow up. Maybe he has taken me up on my offer and has left. I can dream can’t I!!!
Rat, Coffee (congratulations on getting the most important job next to being a nurse), Applestinx, Hillbilly and several others–keep fighting the good fight.
Boss, there is losing an election and then there is losing a country. One doesn’t compare to the other. Electing an incompetent, America hating, socialist president who also happens to be a egomaniac is not a healthy thing. Having a country so uninformed that it elects said president twice is a death sentence.
I was wrong on the NEW study, still doesn’t change the fact that three people in here couldn’t find the hoax website even AFTER I posted it word by word and WHERE it was (USnews). Second, there has already been a study to prove that Fox News watchers are the most uninformed all the way from university studies to polls. There doesn’t even have to be a study for it. The most uninformed people are Fox News watchers and MSNBC watchers, that’s coming from everyday life, listening to people talk.
DB
You seem VERY angry and mad are you having a bad day?
@DB
I looked up Fox news least informed hoax and all I see is they say that an article that Fox viewers have an IQ of 80 on average is a hoax, nothing about the study that says Fox news viewers were the least informed when it comes to current news. It seems like a strawman argument that if one study is wrong then they all wrong by proxy(which is a false argument).
It should be pointed out NPR seem to have the best grasp of news according to the study that rated Fox the worst.
@DB … haha. This is much too easy. Your statement “Electing an incompetent, America hating, socialist president who also happens to be a egomaniac” just illustrates why the Right is so out-of-touch with mainstream America. You are on the fringe. The only people who believe your B.S. are extreme right-wing talk radio Rush-Limbaugh-wannabees and the Eric-Erickson-wacko-right-wing bloggers.
You right-wing wackos have consigned the Republican party to permanent irrelevance. William F. Buckley, Jr is turning over in his grave that the great conservative movement has retrograded to parady and caricature. Shame on you and your mindless epithets.
@Mark
The university that did the study, people in here just call it a liberal university, that’s always the go to line that proves them wrong.
@DB … this is too good to be true. Your statement “Having a country so uninformed that it elects said president twice is a death sentence” smacks of arrogance and elitism. Because the country did not agree with your point-of-view, they are “uniformed.” The implication of your statement is that you, on the other hand, are “informed.” Yet, in the preceding sentence you claimed the president to be an “egomaniac.” Haha. The hypocrisy here is stunning.
@RedBarSoup … just like the “liberal” media and the “liberal” pollsters who were all wrong in their election predictions. That’s how the Right denies the truth. IT’S A LIBERAL CONSPIRACY!!!!
LMAO.

@Cathy “We Republicans believe in math and science. We just do not believe in lib math and their junk science”
Yes of course, just like you believed in Karl Rove’s and D/ick Morris’s Math and laughed at the liberal math of Nate Silver.
Hey, how did those Republican UnSkewed polls work out for you? LOL.
Nate Silver used REAL math to destroy your Republican Math.
No cable news shows again.
Cable news is dying.
Mark – As for the comment this never happens at a tea party just go to youtube and type tea Party violence you can find many examples of random idiots doing stupid things
here is a random example of such thing.
—————————————-
No mention of the tea party in that clip you posted. A bunch of comments blaming the TP, but not in the news clip. If that’s the worse case you could find then your argument is not very good.
Morning—anyone home?
Hillbilly drove by as usual. Other than 1966, DB and TheBoss1, I haven’t seen anyone come and go. (I’m only patrolling the grounds)
Let me try to wake them up with some good music

Gooood Morning!!
A little late but have been busy! Today is the day i cook for te office, the tenents of the office, and my suppliers and contractors! smoked a turkey last night and will deep fry one out front and then have all kinds of other good stuff to say “Thank You and Merry CHRISTMAS!!!”
Taking a little longer this year since I am still hobbling around. If any of you wanna stop buy feel free!!! I will buy you a glass of champagne!!
Forgot to mention that I only ask that they bring a toy for Toys For Tots! They already picked up one overflowing box and we expect to have at least one more from today!
Sounds like a fun day and so good about the Toys for Tots. Don’t overdo Ratboy.
Thanks for the wakeup Apple.
Like music ?
* This is worth a 2 minute look and listen.

“Soooooo if they are paid less and they dont get ratings they still get to stay?????? ”
If you’re getting better ratings in key demos and getting paid less than your competitor, your competitor has a problem.
