Biggest Retards in Politics

I’ve complained some about the lack of difference between Obama and other politicians in the past, but at least it was based on actual observations.
Retards from Fox News like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Ann Coulter are at it again. First they targeted Ron Paul and now Barack Obama.
It’s not that there aren’t legitimate complaints [...]

Why is Fox News successful?

Despite the frequent lies and distortions pushed forth by Fox News, and specifically by the likes of Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly, Fox News continues to drive a plurality of viewers to its TV shows. Why would anyone watch Fox News’ reports if they are so deceptive and misleading?

A Quick Conversation with John Moody on Ron Paul Exclusion

I just got ahold of John Moody of FOX News.
I had wanted to speak to him about Ron Paul’s exclusion in the debates. Several Ron Paul supporters found and posted his direct office line so I called.
He was very polite. He thought I was calling about Duncan Hunter, then I said it was actually Ron [...]

An Open Letter to Shepard Smith and Greta Van Susteren and the Media

You deserve praise for openly discussing Ron Paul on FOX News. I wonder if you had to take a pay a fine every time you said Ron Paul’s name, or for every second you discussed him. I know you will be getting a lot of positive emails from Ron Paul supporters.

Just one objection: You continue [...]

3rd Win for Ron Paul on FOX News – Great interview with Hannity & Colmes

Hannity tries to discount the poll results but Ron Paul forces Hannity to affront the audience, insult FOX News, or admit Ron Paul won. In all, a great interview and surprisingly civil.

Analysis by Facebook Ron Paul Supporters now Echoed by the Media

Military contribution numbers originally published in a social networking website were published on digg and the blogosphere. They were downplayed by FOX News initially and a recent study published by the Center for Responsive Politics has now catapulted the analysis to mainstream outlets such as USA Today.
USA Today: Obama, Paul net most military workers’ donations [...]

The point of voting isn’t to predict the winner. It’s to choose the winner. The case for Ron Paul.

Loss of control
The point of voting in the elections isn’t to predict the winner. If it were, it would be called gambling, not voting. People vote to *choose* the winner, not to give away the little influence they have to yellow journalism.
People sometimes vote for whom they perceive will be the winner, because they [...]

CNN exhibits its bias. College Democrat displays ignorance. Ron Paul Republican represents Paul supporters well.

CNN accidentally interviews a Ron Paul Republican.
CNN exhibits its bias; College Democrat displays ignorance; Ron Paul Republican represents Paul supporters well.
Shows how uninformed people are, and how biased the media is. Ron Paul’s current odds according to betting sites hover around 8:1. And the trend is in Ron Paul’s favor. My prediction is they [...]

Irrelevant Intelligence: Bush misrepresents historian’s comments as pro-Iraq war propaganda

You may have read a great article by Arthur Silber pointing out that, You, Too, Can and Should Be an “Intelligence Analyst”. The basic premise is the intelligence community has little more access than you do to critical information, and that privileged information becomes irrelevant too quickly to be a major factor in foreign policy [...]
