Obama's Dissident Database

[ULTRAMAN VH]

Be afraid when THEY start throwing people in some GitMo-type detention facility without benefit of charges or trial like his predecessor did...

Not likely to happen, though.

Well Obama is jumping through hoops to get Gitmo closed, but I have not seen or heard of him relenquishing or abolishing any of the government power grabs Bush amassed, AKA the Patriot Act. It appears he will keep Bush's policies in tact and add on to them, starting with the above topic of this thread.

Um, no.

AHH! Lounge Queer, I was wondering when you would appear.

Bob,

The White House keeping an "eye" on things is the absolute essence of intimidation. This puts a chill on free speech. Fox News is not charged with representing the people of the United States. The White House is.

The health care argument should be strong enough to stand on it's own merits, regardless of who thinks who is being bused in (I've heard it in the other direction as well, with "union thugs and Acorn" playing the villian role in that script).

As of now, it does not.

Fox News is supposed to report facts. Aren't they?

Or just the facts when those facts are pro-Neo Con?

Kinda like CNN, CNBC, ABC, CBS crying when Bush was Prez. It's all cyclic, don't you think.

I would rather say that those organizations were reporting on a knee-jerk reactionary president in Bush, as compared to Fox's negative reporting on Obama, who has had no choice but to clean up Bush's mess.... Of course Fox is spinning it as it's been Obama's fault all along, but that's not surprising considering the source...

For all this talk about Fox...does anybody here actually watch that shit? Who knows/cares what they say.

That's a subjective pissing contest...

Is MSNBC supposed to report the facts or just serve it's Democratic masters?

[Baby's On Fire]

Same rules apply.

News is supposed to be news. Not political brainwashing.

Maybe if journalists aspired to be like Mike Wallace, for example, we'd have true journalism instead of corporate and political shills.

[Big Train]

Agreed about shilling...

[Baby's On Fire]

To get unadulterated news isn't possible by watching or reading "the news".

What a joke. You need to be your own investigative reporter to find out the real news.

Not so in Canada...only because there is fuck all going on in Canada at any given moment.

Except hockey perhaps.

[Big Train]

Consider yourself lucky...

[Baby's On Fire]

You got that fucking right...as much as I do love the USA.

Russia and Ukraine have the hottest babes in the World, however. So that's the most important thing.

The news be damned.

UltraVag for one...

UltraVag for one...

I don't even understand how this shit comes up in every thread. The original article wasn't even from Fox.

Everybody here's obsessed with a tv channel they don't even watch.

[Baby's On Fire]

Russian and Ukrainian babes are the hottest in the World.

Forget everything else, cuz it doesn't matter.

Do you have a mental problem?
