Too late. Shills like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reily beat you to it. I’m assuming you want to continue labeling Muslims as insane and worthy of destruction…

You realize, largely, that’s the same thing they do to the US: Muslim extremists label us and want to destroy our nation.

It’s funny how NeoCons refuse to spend for illegal immigrants but will gladly destroy bridges in another country and then pay to rebuild them! Oh yes, we won’t pay for our own issues, we’ll just create them abroad and then pay huge sums of money to fix them! That makes sense.

Warren Buffet is the second richest man in the world and he’s an extreme opportunist, self-successful man and he’s a Democrat. Not all Democrats are looking for handouts and not all Republicans want to police the world.

BTW: I’m a registered Republican, college grad from the West Coast and child of lower middle class. So, pick me apart all you want. I’m just giving you all the context of my comment.

I expect to see Mike Huckabee shine now that he is officially first tier and getting questions in a forum he is bound to excel in. I believe that it was him and McCain that spearheaded the entrance into the debate and forced everyone elses cards.

I don’t really view CNN as the “lion’s den” for Republicans — this is, after all, the network (through its affiliate Headline News) that is home to rabid right-winger and world class idiot Glenn Beck. Frankly, speaking as an avowed liberal, I view CNN as having a fairly conservative bent — which means that they are probably pretty near the middle of the road, politically speaking. Generally, at least until recently, they have been far too complacent in the current administration’s efforts to spin the news to be considered a liberal network.

People who accuse the mainstream media of being liberal should take time to consider that most of the major news outlets in this country are under the control of a very small number of very large corporations. And very large corporations are not generally known for being politically liberal. For-profit corporations exist for one purpose, and one purpose only: maximizing shareholder wealth. Thus, they tend to be pretty conservative (at least economically speaking) in terms of their politics. Socially, they will generally take their cues from the communities they serve to the extent that they express a political opinion, because that is what is best for business.

Fox News, on the other hand, is unquestionably a right-wing mouthpiece. I agree that it makes no sense for any Democratic Party presidential debate to take place on a network that can’t even get the party’s name correct — insisting as they do on referring to them as the “Democrat Party” in all their news coverage. This does not make the Democrats cowards. This merely demonstrates that they recognize that what is put forth on the Fox News Channel as news is in fact largely right-wing propaganda and Republican Party talking points.

Fox News is “fair and balanced” the way that the old Soviet newspaper Pravda — the mouthpiece of the ruling Communist Party during the Cold War — was about “truth” (the English translation of its name). Which is to say, not at all.
