A total write in campaign to Faux News sponsors should start today!

Submitted by Carole Borges on Sun, 2008/10/05 - 8:40pm.

I can't believe my eyes and ears. Tonight I happened to tune into Fox News to see what was going on over there, and I was shocked to see they were broadcasting a whole program called "Obama and Friends: History of Radicalism". This vile piece of distorted journalism really shouldn't be tolerated. It goes beyond anything I've ever seen.

It's really an ad for McCain in the guise of a documentary. It was bad enough when Palin launched her sordid smear about Ayers, but this program is actually sickening. It spends most of it's time talking about Bill Ayers who was a part of a radical splinter group who in a world on non-violent protest espoused violence. Not very many politically active people liked the Weatherman or their methods at the time, but the point is Barack Obama was only 8 years old then! He had nothing whatsoever to do with this group. Later as a community activist, a term Hannity always places snide quotes around, he ran into other people working in the community and indeed one of them was Ayers. This program is the worst thing I have ever listened to in the United States of America. It smacks of the kind of hate the Nazis used to turn people against the Jews. I find it diabolical, and I intend to write as many sponsors at Fox as I can this week to tell them what I think of their affiliation with these conservative radicals.



Just say no to FOX. It's

Just say no to FOX. It's bad for your blood pressure.

Truth

I think what you really object to is the truth.

It hurts when people report FACTS.

Most of that information is well documented.

No reputable news

No reputable news organization has found any link between Ayers' radical past and Obama. They were teachers at the same University 30 years after the fact and served on the same Chicago housing board for a time. That would make Obama as sympathetic to Professor Ayers' 40 year old activist past as say, Professor Mark Harmon would be to Glen Reynolds. Absurd on the face of it.

This is not the case with John McCain and his links both monetarily and by friendship with Watergate burgular G. Gordon Liddy, who had planned acts of domestic terrorism but was captured before he could carry them out. Liddy still raises money for McCain, while at the same time suggesting ways of killing ATF agents on his radio show.

People who spout garbage like the Ayers nonsense must hate the electoral process having any semblance of truth and fairness.

Maybe but neither has Obama

Maybe but neither has Obama denounced this terrorist and scumbag either.

Has McCain denounced Palin's witchdoctor preacher?

Has he denounced ANY of the screwballs and lobbyists who were employed by him, stumping and raising funds for him?

Where does the McCain campaign get off ordering Obama to denounce anyone?

He has raised a hornet's nest here, and man is he ever going to get stung.

Another case of a bad executive choice made, and so another blow for the so-called "Mavericks". He and Palin actually think they are doing something clever when all they are doing is giving SNL more grist for their comedy mill. Their tactics will not bring in more independent voters. It will even turn off the base who is sick of being identified with hateful negativity. Only the most uninformed voters will be swayed by their razzle-dazzle circus act.

Oh, also, didn't McCain just vote for the bailout WITH the pork-laden sweeteners his pals demanded? Why didn't he refuse to vote for the pork?

Oh, I guess Obama's cursing

Oh, I guess Obama's cursing in the pulpit is perfectly acceptable huh? I always enjoy reading the Liberal Horde call an entire group of people names as in what you are doing to Palin's preacher. The entire Assemblies of God denomination can thank you for name-calling.

Truth hurts

The turth hurts... get used to hearing the truth about Obama the redical...

Uh-huh. Sure.

Uh-huh. Sure.

I'm still waiting for the dreaded Michelle Obama "whitey" video that prominent conservatives keep insisting exists, but still has yet to be seen by the public.

Last I heard, Limbaugh said it would show up right after the conventions. That's been a month now....

Your ignorance reeks.

Your ignorance reeks. Murdoch, who owns FNC, has endorsed Obama. Besides, what is worse, the muck on FNC or MSNBC? Both are about pathetic in calling themselves news networks.

If the troll-of-the-day

If the troll-of-the-day bothered to respond, I suspect the best he(?) could come up with is to point out Murdoch's New York Post endorsed Obama during the primaries:

Murdoch has said he expects Obama to win, but that's not an endorsement, that's just a prediction.

Good point. The KNS endorsed

Good point. The KNS endorsed Obama during the primary, too.

Fox News wins hands down...

Murdoch's endorsement means nothing. Please, let's not be naive here. It isn't unusual for traitors and betrayers to smile while they slip the knife into your back. MSNBC has at least SOME liberal-leaning people. Fox News has no authentic ones, just stooges. CNN has become more and more comservative with an added element lately of Lou Dobbs trying to gain viewers by ranting against everyone except himself. If you think Murdoch's endorsement means anything important, I'd suggest you check your own ignorance meter.

I don't care for any of

I don't care for any of them, especially what some rich mouth does in an endorsement. Your ignorance continues to reek with your assumption that anyone who can recognize the the bias at one network someone favors another one.
