Tough to keep an ivory tower clean
Bobbyv, “defend”……I have no issues doing my thing, you clearly have trouble reading on multiple levels given that you are making absolutely NO sense. You must take this forum a little too seriously.
Jeff,
Who is defending, I am just having fun, as are you. I have a feeling that a lot of your comments are tongue-in-cheek, but I also think my last few comments make perfect sense to you. You know by now where I am coming from.
On a serious note, I may “defend” Fox in your eyes because in the media world their view is the minority opinion, and people who have always denied a bias in all other media are quick to point out the bias at Fox (which I have never denied). That part does bug me because I am dumb enough to think there should be 1 standard for all.
Fox had a terrible showing in the ratings…and when you consider the many millions of viewers the major networks had(ABC, NBC, and CBS), hardly anyone was watching Fox. That better improve or they will have trouble selling time…..
Did you see Ted Nugent, the admitted draft dodger and failed rock star, talking about how he is ready to battle the feds like in 1776. This clown, who represents the epitome of mental filth, is being watched by the feds, as he should be. His views align with the madmen who run the NRA…..

@Brian
Nobody is laughing at the deaths of the four Americans, But what people are laughing at are all the Benghazi-gate conspiracy theories made by the far right wingers. You guys look like a bunch of fools today.
Also, keep in mind that we lost 3000 Americans under Bush’s 9/11 attack… Now compare that to the four Americans under Obama’s 9/11 attack. That’s what I thought!

for you usa
@bobbyv, you said in a quote that name calling is a sign of not being able to defend a position…..
You must of forgot your own post?
Jeff,
Really? What names did I call you? I know since I have been posting I have been called uneducated, bigot, fox-turd, had my reading comprehension challenged multiple times, and been told I did not go to college. I’m starting to take this stuff personally
@bobbyv, please read your first post directed to me. Not claiming you are name calling. I am just responding to your comments. Yes I am very colorful and sassy with my comments. All I can claim now is that you are perhaps confused by our exchanges.
Jeff,
Nope, not confused at all. My first comment to you was the quote from Gabe responding to your Fox-turd bias comment, unless you are really referring to the ivory tower comment. Anyway, I know your style, I don’t take most of the stuff personal that’s on here. I like a good exchange. I think some people like USA enjoy getting a rise out of people, I just jump in when I’m in the mood or the topics hit on certain things. It’s all in fun.
Okay Bobbyv all kidding aside, I hope you had a great day today, and have a good night!

More bad news for the GOP Neo-Cons….
The GOP leaders cave and kick the debt limit issue down the road for a few months. Ouch!
And then….
Neo Con right wing extremist Republicans woke up this morning just knowing that FINALLY Hillary was gonna pay!!!! At the end of the day, all networks showing the hearings coverage, of the GOP Congressmen looking like fools as they clearly were. The neo con right wing extremist went to bed disappointed…….again.
Same to you Jeff, have a good one
@Bobbyv
“If MSNBC misses something bad for R’s I think there is a better chance someone else will report it.”
I think that’s true.
It seems that conservatives (and I’m not saying that that includes you) are upset with the number of media outlets that are perceived to be controlled by liberals. But, conservatives have a large outlet with talk radio.
I know the audiences are dramatically different (18-49 for libs, 49+ for cons), but I think things even out overall.
Something about Haley annoys me and screams fake(I think it’s that smile of hers), if a Republican woman goes far I rather it be Susana Martinez who seems more real then Haley
Huh, I don’t think I’ve had heard too much about Susanna Martinez, will look up information on her. Thank you for the heads up Mark.
@raz, bite me! I’m a child you say? Because I don’t belong to the suck on the Fox nipple club of misinformation, Awe Darn!
Frist off Jeff, I wouldn’t bite you, I don’t eat junk food.
Second off, I didn’t say you were a child, I gave you the option of being 14 or 41 (same differance)
Third, as for watching Fox and being a part of the tit of wit club. I like watching Fox as a comparison to the big 3 channals and how they are nothing but stooges to the White House. Pick your choise of who is Larry, Moe and Curly, Shemp and Curlie Joe, etc.
Kendall,
My side varies by the issue. As I mentioned earlier, I am just for 1 standard for all regardless of side. You are right, talk radio is definitely dominated by the Right. I defend Fox and Billo but if they lie and distort they should be called on it.
