    quite sober, thank you. and far from a kid. What have you accomplished in life that makes you think that your viewpoints have any significance or credibility?

    Are you claiming that the Queen is "head of state" ? Really? The royals are a circus of clowns, and you fools pay billions to watch them cavort and fall off their ponies. Poor Kate and Diana---they had no idea that they were joining the choir of fools.

    Willard said that Jeep was packing up and moving their operation to China.

    Is was such a big lie, it won politifact's 2012 lie of the year.

    So since Murdoch failed in his cover-up efforts I assume the arrests will begin soon?

    Who was it that Murdoch failed to get elected that has different policies in Iraq and Afghanistan? Obama's Sec of State was one of the biggest supporters of the Iraq campaign. Obama says he supported the Afghanistan campaign and has increased our forces there.

    Yes Fox has divided the country from people wanting to know and people who want to just believe what their Party tells them. If not for Fox putting on the pressure, America would have still believed the attack in Libya was an act of showing that movie and not a terror attack. We would still be believing that no help was asked for and none was sent. That no one is to blame for three American deaths. Now we know much of the truth. Now maybe we can fix it so it doesn't happen again. Thanks Fox.

    So you are incapable of making the conspiracy theory yourself and backing its flaws.

    He was wrong, but I doubt it was a lie. I can't believe Romney would lie about something like that knowing it could be proven wrong right from the bat. I do believe he got some wrong advise about Jeep. But I'm sure unless your willing to look at it logically, you can believe it was a lie.

    LMAO!!!!!! :lol:

    Roger Ailes & Co. are pikers compared to Barack Obama & Co., but we don't hear the Left bleating about how he has eagerly pitted American against American for his own self-aggrandizement.

    What advantage would Fox get out of (skewing the polls). To make many Republicans believe that Romney has such a big lead would only cause many Republicans to stay home and not fight those long lines at the polls? That would hurt, not help. The two who were predicting a big win weren't using their heads. I said on here a couple of times to fellow Republicans, don't be to sure of yourself. I thought if Romney won, it would be real close. I don't know how many thought Romney would walk away with it. He made to many mistakes and I pointed many of them out at the time.

    An entire winning Presidential campaign ran on class warfare and racial inequality just happened, but we are to believe that a cable news outlet is the root cause of the divisiveness.

    Murdoch tried to get that soldier to run and pay for it, so - presumably - he could control him. Where's ther conspiracy theory and what are you talking about? Have your read the article?

    The loony left claim that Fox News divides because it provides the nation the truth, not the leftwing party line. They are *issed that they dont just spew the "news" from the DNC!!!! Their lies are exposed and they hate that.

    You mean the article put out by Huffington Post? The same people this article I put up on Sorros is talking about just a few minutes ago?


    1. Gives billions to left-wing causes: Soros started the Open Society Institute in 1993 as a way to spread his wealth to progressive causes. Using Open Society as a conduit, Soros has given more than $7 billion to a who’s who of left-wing groups. This partial list of recipients of Soros’ money says it all: ACORN, Apollo Alliance, National Council of La Raza, Tides Foundation, Huffington Post, Southern Poverty Law Center, Soujourners, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, and the National Organization for Women.
    2. Influence on U.S. elections: Soros once said that removing President George W. Bush from office in 2004 was the “central focus of my life.” He put his money where his mouth is, giving $23.58 million to various 527 groups dedicated to defeating Bush. His early financial support helped jump-start Barack Obama’s political career. Soros hosted a 2004 fund-raiser for Obama when he was running for the Illinois Senate and gave the maximum-allowed contribution within hours of Obama’s announcement that he was running for President.

    Why shouldn't he be allowed to ask someone to run if he wants them to? This is a free country. What does that have to do with covering up alleged war crimes? Why would Murdoch care if war crimes are covered up? War crimes generate good interest in news channels.

    Obama has divided this country more than anyone and the MSM has done the majority of the damage by simply NOT showing who this man really is to the masses and sugar coating every aspect. Once his aura has worn off, it will be fascinating when someone lays it all out. The sad part is, many will simply refuse to believe it, even when the facts are right their in front of them. Obama has lied so much since 08 its amazing, and liberals still think he's a saint.

    BBC, ABC, CNN, CBS, NPR, and PBS.

    Oh wait, those are all "leftist". Never mind then. :roll:

    No, see, that's not it. It's not that we cannot tolerate differing viewpoints or that we lose the debate. It's that many people are too (*)(*)(*)(*)ing stupid to notice when they're wrong, when they lost the debate, or when there's not even a debate at all! Case in point: "half of America has been shut out of the media by leftist marxists". There's next to no actual marxists, Obama is not a marxist, and the right has a voice beyond Fox News. It's just that nobody other than Fox News has the balls to be so blatantly and partisanly wrong so often.

    Obama is not a Marxist. The problem with American discourse is, as I said above, those who just don't get it. The people who think that Obama is a socialist, or a Marxist, or is trying to take our guns. The people who think he's a Kenyan Muslim intent on taking over the free world. The people that no amount of education will ever reach, and who will continue to effectively skew our political discourse because they bought into the utter crap that sources like WND and Infowars push. People like you, who could not be more wrong if they asserted that the earth was flat and Romney never told a lie in his entire camp-

    GOD (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)!!

    Well, he was directly refuted by Jeep's CEO almost immediately after making the statement and refused to retract it. So there's that. But really, are we going to play the "Well, maybe he was mistaken" game? Because if so, then Obama didn't lie about Romney's stance on abortion. :-|

    One thing both sides do that gets me. Both sides are so eager to call the other a liar, rather than look at the whole thing and say to yourself does it make sense?

    Here we have Democrats begging people to go to the polls and vote. They encourage people to help others that haven't a way to get there to help them out. Then they want people to believe that Fox believes that Romney has such a big lead that there is no urgency to vote. Does that make any sense?

    Same with thinking Romney purposely lied about Jeep moving to China. Would he actually say that knowing that it could be shown to be a lie in a matter of seconds?

    That's why I say there is a difference of being wrong and telling a lie. But both sides are guilty of not looking at the whole picture and trying to determine if it's a dumb mistake or lie. We throw the word lie around way to much when it doesn't fit the situation. When it doesn't make a lick of sense.

    Jeep will move to China.

    It's only a matter of time.

    First they set up the factory in China for the Chinese market.

    In a few years that factory will be running smoothly and the Chrysler/Fiat accountants will notice that a Jeep built in China costs much less than the same Jeep built in Detroit and the US plant will be history.

    Seems he lost the bidding war with Soros.
