Really….This Is Just Too Good

Ha fool dispute that, Fox is more trusted by americans, (not by unamerican progressives) than any other news network. The truth will again win out, given a fair chance, which is what you progressives dont want with the fairness doctrine, net neutrality and every other part of your hate filled agenda.

Andrea,

So three different ACORN offices did not say, essentially the same things.

What they should have said, is this,"prostitution is illegal in this state, I can not give you any answers that help promote an illegal activity". Did they do that?
NO, they gave advice on how to break the law, and cheat the system, and they did it in three different offices, so obviously ACORN as a whole supports illegal activities, to try to hide, and say it was taken out of context is just more progressive (marxist) LII's Liberally Indoctrinated Idiots, and bullshit. But that is typical of the progressive mindset, corruption and murder, ( Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Che) is just fine as long as it advances the agenda.

Oh Andrea, please. ACORN fired those workers. That story was not made up.

Good old Reverend. Even when he's right about something (which doesn't happen often), he can't resist embarassing himself, by making fun of people's appearances and such. Also loved the part about how Fox News was "grief-stricken." (no, they just had a guy who normally isn't on air reading a wire report. The Reverend should be giving Fox News credit for reporting the story IMMEDIATELY, unlike the way the media ignored the ACORN story).

And what makes O'Keefe a Tea Party guy ? Do you have anything to back that up, or are you just making that up too ?

Even when the facts are 100% on your side, you STILL have to make stuff up and spin, Rev. You are truly one of a kind.

That being said, O'Keefe and company appear to be dumber than a bag of hammers, by entering a federal building under false pretenses and messing with the phone system. Duh. I can't wait to hear them explain what they were trying to do. If they thought they had something on Landrieu, that sure isn't the way to go about getting it.

I could just picture you doing handsprings in your living room last night. "Now, I won't have to try to defend Ted Strickland."

Maybe, just maybe, something else will happen today and you can ignore the State of The Union address.

King

I will guarooooonteeeee, that those clowns from ACORN, were given jobs or paid off to shut up, elsewhere. The corruption of ACORN is well known, from voter fraud to election fraud, to mortgage fraud, and throw in advise to criminals. Come on again, they should have been shown the door, not the keys to ripping off the system.

Jeff….

What you saying about ACORN is incorrect. ACORN has been cluster-investigated and……no evidence of wrongdoing or voter fraud. You simply refuse to accept the truth as we know it. Fox viewers are embedded with false slants on stories. Could be that, you, are a Fox viewer.

The truth on ACORN is that those who embarassed themselves in front of a camera were either fired or quit…..and there's no evidence of any illegality by ACORN. Until you prove otherwise…you need to change your narrative.

larry….so you don't think that breaking into the phone system of a U.S. Senator is any big deal? What the heavens was Watergate? A break-in. Physical break in, yeah…..but that was 40 years ago, we break-in and steal stuff electronically now.

bzzzp…..I won't ignore the SOTU. If you read my last blog, I'm as cynical as I can get about Obama. He needs to show me a lot more than he's shown the first year.

Acorn has been cluster-investigated? By whom-a panel of community organizers?

Rev sez….."Schmidt is the one on the right."

are you sure?

Rev have been proven to have employees that work the system and have been involved in real estate schemes. They are also known to have employees that lied during the election season. Did the registrations get through? Maybe, maybe not. Please don't deny that. It's a fact and the truth.

Also why do you make fun of people. If you want to laugh at anyone look at this doofus in the first video. This guy did much more to cause this financial crisis than George Bush.

The secind video is just for sh*ts and giggles to prove how ignorant of the facts and out of touch the Dem party really is

Jeff: Why didn't you continue reading the story and talk about one of the conclusions ..“A generation ago you would have expected Americans to place their trust in the most neutral and unbiased conveyors of news,” said PPP President Dean Debnam in his analysis of the poll. “But the media landscape has really changed, and now they’re turning more toward the outlets that tell them what they want to hear.”

Anyway, if these polls are correct, God help us…we're doomed! Fox' slogan of "Fair and Balanced" is a joke.

this from the politico poll……

“A generation ago you would have expected Americans to place their trust in the most neutral and unbiased conveyors of news,” said PPP President Dean Debnam in his analysis of the poll. “But the media landscape has really changed, and now they’re turning more toward the outlets that tell them what they want to hear.”

jeff….when they talk about Fox News….what exactly are they talking about. Are they talking about Stephanie Schaffer at Fox 8 News or are they talking the Fox cable news?

I watch Fox 8 in the mornings and I don't see a lot of bias there

whoops…..sorry Joe

You know Jeff, there's no shame in delivering newspapers for a living.

Fox news channel on cable, which the liar (liberally indoctrinated anal retentive) that writes this blog, thinks somehow is worse than all others, but it is the most trusted, so who is biased, we know the Blomd is biased.

Recent Fraud– ACORN

State Year Details
AR 1998 A contractor with ACORN-affiliated Project Vote was arrested for falsifying about 400 voter registration cards.
CO 2005 Two ex-ACORN employees were convicted in Denver of perjury for submitting false voter registrations.

2008 An ACORN employee in West Reading, PA, was sentenced to up to 23 months in prison for identity theft and tampering with records. A second ACORN worker pleaded not guilty to the same charges and is free on $10,000 bail.
2004 Reading’s Director of Elections received calls from numerous individuals complaining that ACORN employees deliberately put inaccurate information on their voter registration forms. The Berks County director of elections said voter fraud was “absolutely out of hand,” and added: “Not only do we have unintentional duplication of voter registration but we have blatant duplicate voter registrations.” The Berks County deputy director of elections added that ACORN was under investigation by the Department of Justice.
TX 2008 In Harris County, nearly 10,000 ACORN-submitted registrations were found to be invalid, including many with clearly fraudulent addresses or other personal information.
2008 ACORN turned in the voter registration form of David Young, who told reporters “The signature is not my signature. It’s not even close.” His social security number and date of birth were also incorrect.
VA 2005 In 2005, the Virginia State Board of Elections admonished Project Vote and ACORN for turning in a significant number of faulty voter registrations. An audit revealed that 83% of sampled registrations that were rejected for carrying false or questionable information were submitted by Project Vote. Many of these registrations carried social security numbers that exist for other people, listed non-existent or commercial addresses, or were for convicted felons in violation of state and federal election law.

In a letter to ACORN, the State Board of Elections reported that 56% of the voter registration applications ACORN turned in were ineligible. Further, a full 35% were not submitted in a timely manner, as required by law. The State Board of Elections also commented on what appeared to be evidence of intentional voter fraud. "Additionally,” they wrote, “information appears to have been altered on some applications where information given by the applicant in one color ink has been scratched through and re-entered in another color ink. Any alteration of a voter registration application is a Class 5 Felony in accordance with § 24.2-1009 of the Code of Virginia."
WA 2007 Three ACORN employees pleaded guilty, and four more were charged, in the worst case of voter registration fraud in Washington state history. More than 2,000 fraudulent voter registration cards were submitted by the group during a voter registration drive.
WI 2008 At least 33,000 ACORN-submitted registrations in Milwaukee have been called into question after it was found that the organizations had been using felons as registration workers, in violation of state election rules. Two people involved in the ongoing Wisconsin voter fraud investigation have been charged with felonies.
2004 The district attorney’s office investigated seven voter registration applications Project Vote employees filed in the names of people who said the group never contacted them. Former Project Vote employee Robert Marquise Blakely told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he had not met with any of the people whose voter registration applications he signed, “an apparent violation of state law,” according to the paper.

Yep your are right, no evidence of voter fraud in ACORN, sheesh, what an complete load of BS, and you can look at yourself in the morning writing these lies.

jeff…show me in the politico story it was the Fox cable news

jeff…who exactly is The Employment Policies Institute

The more I think about it, there are a lot of positives in being a greeter at Walmart.

I find that most folks who mock the working man haven't done much work themselves.

No, Reverend, I don't think that a couple Moveon.org-style wiseacres asking to use the Senator's phone under false pretenses is as big a deal as a presidential administration breaking into the opposing party's headquarters. Landrieu's office had been claiming their lines were failing following the Obama healthcare buyoff, and these kids were probably checking to see if that was true or if the senator was just ducking the public. The fact that Dems seem to think it is anything akin to Watergate only reflects their panicked state.

I would think that this also would be considered mocking the working man……from CNN 2007

"If you just consider the average compensation (wages plus benefits) of full-time year-round workers in non-managerial jobs – roughly $40,000 – CEO pay is more like 270 times bigger than the average Joe's. That's still a far cry from days gone by. In 1989, for instance, U.S. CEOs of large companies earned 71 times more than the average worker, according to the Economic Policy Institute.

The IPS/UFE report also compared U.S. CEO pay to that of leaders in other fields and other countries. The top 20 CEOs of U.S. companies made an average of $36.4 million in 2006. That's 204 times that of the 20 highest paid U.S. military generals, and 38 times that of the 20 highest-paid non-profit leaders. They also made three times more than the top 20 CEOs of European companies who had booked higher sales numbers than their U.S. counterparts.

The pay gap numbers don't include the value of the many perks CEOs receive, which averaged $438,342, according to the report. Nor do they include the pension benefits CEOs receive."

Walter, it says fox news NETWORk, that is the cable not your local news
learn to read, you Andrea and the BLOMD need to go to Evelyn Woods.

Now look what happened……I write an entire blog showing the connection between the Alfalfa-wingnut James O'Keefe and Fox and Fiends….and conservatives insist that Fox is the most trusted "news" outlet…evah.

Americans who regularly watch Fox have been proven to be less informed, confused really, about the most basic of stories. PBS viewers being the most informed.

larry thinks when wingnut conservatives try to "manipulate" the phone system of a U.S. Senator…it's "no big deal." Watergaters were trying to tap the phones at Democratic headquarters. The difference is what again?

"……and these kids were probably checking to see if that was true or if the senator was just ducking the public."

these "kids"? who gave you that talking point?

Walter:

Your money post is nothing more than fuel to the foolish class envy that the LIAR's (liberally indoctrinated anal retentives) engage in. Where is the outrage over sports stars or entertainers? How much is too much, and in a free country what right do we have to say any amount is too much?

What do these CEO's do with this money? Do they bury it in coffee cans in the backyard? No they spend and invest it, so what does that do, well spending it, provides jobs for other people, buy a plane, the aircraft industry hires workers, then you hire a pilot and crew, buy a house carpenters and builders get work, then you hire staff for the house. And when they invest, new business's get the cash they need to start up and grow, employing more people.

When people, CEO's included spend and invest, it is far far more efficient for an economy than when corrupt politicians tax (steal) and spend, (re-distribute). That lesson has been proven time and time again throughout history, but Progressive (marxists) refuse to learn from history, it is far simpler to re-write it to fit the false template.

so Fox 8 News in the morning wth Stephanie Schaffer is not part of the Fox News Network?

jeff….this from SourceWatch……

"A year-long study by the University of Maryland's Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA)[14] reported that Americans who relied on the Fox News Channel for their coverage of the Iraq war were the most likely to believe misinformation about the war, whatever their political affiliation may be. Those mistaken facts, the study found, increased viewers' support for the war.

The study found that, in general, people who watched Fox News were, more than for other sources, convinced of several untrue propositions which were actively promoted by the Bush administration and the cheerleading media led by Fox, in rallying support for the invasion of Iraq:

(percentages are of all poll respondents, not just Fox watchers)

Fifty-seven percent believed the falsity that Iraq gave substantial support to Al-Qaida, or was directly involved in the September 11 attacks (48% after invasion).
Sixty-nine percent believed the falsity that Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the September 11 attacks.
Twenty-two percent believed the falsity that weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq. (Twenty-one percent believed that chem/bio weapons had actually been used against U.S. soldiers in Iraq during 2003)
In the composite analysis of the PIPA study, 80 percent of Fox News watchers had one of more of these misperceptions, in contrast to 71 percent for CBS and 27 percent who tuned to NPR/PBS.

Walter

PBS, is the most biased, but then you libs like that bias

It is appearent, that CBS and Fox had similar misconceptions, does that make eithers reporting wrong, or just the peoples perception of it. For example there were confirmed links between Iraq and Aq going back to the end of the first Gulf War, if that got misconstrued to mean there was a link for 9/11, whose fault the reporters or the public?

When Time magazine, reporting the year in review ignores the Tea Parties, what does that tell you about the state of the main stream (lame) media.

At least when you see a discussion of a topic, with experts on both sides on Fox news, there is a concerted effort to have both sides get a fair and equal time, without interuption, you dont see that on CNN or MSNBC, usually it is 2 to 1 against the conservative, and the Liberal Progressive Marxist, has to talk over the conservative, if this is your idea of media fairness, then keep on getting your cup of Koolaid from these idiots. I for one opt for TRUTH only, if Fox is mis-reporting, I take issue there. But Fox is also the only tv news outlet to explore the leaked climate emails, and discuss them in depth. I have not seen one story anywhere else, it is like the Progressives think if it isnt reported it will go away. Can you say head in sand?

let's see…….."PBS, is the most biased, but then you libs like that bias

then……."In the composite analysis of the PIPA study, 80 percent of Fox News watchers had one of more of these misperceptions, in contrast to 71 percent for CBS and 27 percent who tuned to NPR/PBS."

what….biased towards the truth? I can see why you would have problems with that

walter…..see?, according to Jeff, PBS is the most biased network….and any study that proves PBS viewers are better informed than, say, Fox viewers, is, by definition…..biased.

It's confusing, yeah….but there it is.

Jeff….the following is not true….

"you dont see that on CNN or MSNBC, usually it is 2 to 1 against the conservative, and the Liberal Progressive Marxist, has to talk over the conservative,"

I don't know if you can't identify who's who on those networks….or what it is…..but outside of Keith and Rachel on MSNBC…..the other media shows are lousy with conservatives and Republicans.

John McCain, the loser in 2008….and trailing this year to wingnut extraordinare, J.D. Hayworth…..appeared 15 times last year on the Sunday morning shows alone, despite the fact that he had no power and commanded no authority whatsoever.

CNN, when it began in 1980, was a network that could be trusted. No longer. Wolf, Candy, and the gang are nothing but an embarrassment now. And finally, as you know Jeff…..Fox is the exclusive media arm of the Republican Party.

The teevee media is made up of primarily moderate-to-liberal "reporters" doing "stories" layed out by executive producers who always long for conservative rule in D.C. Tax cuts for the wealthiest and deregulation of Big Corporation is what executive producers are after….always…..and that's why they bias their programs towards Republicans. It's not that difficult to understand.

Jeff,
Thanks for putting the lie to the Reverend's loony claim that ACORN hasn't done anything wrong.

And then the Rev has the nerve to complain that Fox News viewers are uninformed. As always, the Reverend is his own worst enemy. His own words belie…..his own words. That's what makes this blog a comic masterpiece. The Rev doesn't even know he's doing it.

King…if you look at jeff's list he got from the The Employment Policies Institute you will see in most of the cases it's the workers being charged with fraud.

howcum you and jeff didn't point that out?

Most of the cases?

ACORN has NEVER been charged and convicted of voter fraud. Jeff, obviously, doesn't know the difference between voter registration fraud (against ACORN) and actual, bonafide voter fraud……but King knows better.

Not only did ACORN not participate ever in voter fraud…..voter fraud is a red herring……doesn't really exist in the U.S. Try Iran, Afghanistan maybe. Or better yet…..try a different Fox talking point.

The end.

Every time you write "The end" everyone knows you just lost an argument, Reverend. I suggest you try "Checkmate" for a while.

Good suggestion.

One correction, however….I can't seem to remember losing any arguments….I'm sure that I have….but I just can't recall any.

most of the cases listed by The Employment Policies Institute started like this…."A contractor with ACORN-affiliated Project Vote","Two ex-ACORN employees", "An ACORN employee", "11 ACORN workers", "Four ACORN employees"…….see a pattern

my understanding is that ACORN has to turn in ALL regisration cards it collects which brings us to this….."Some voters claim to have registered dozens of times, and one man says he signed up on 72 cards."

and then we got the posers looking for their 15 minutes of fame……"2008 ACORN turned in the voter registration form of David Young, who told reporters “The signature is not my signature. It’s not even close.” His social security number and date of birth were also incorrect."

yea, sure David Young…….Jamie Giles wannabe

We live in the age of pre-emption, walter.

Those fraudulent voter-registration sign ups COULD have led to voter fraud. It hasn't, of course…and I don't see how it could.

But that doesn't matter, not to ACORN bashers…..if something COULD have happened it must be treated as if it had.

Carzy stuff.
